Day 5... Afternoon

Patrick and I didn't do a whole lot in the afternoon when he woke up around 1:30. We played, read some books, watched some Simpsons... that was about until my Chiro appt at 4:45. On the way to the chiro, I dropped of my mom's candles. Dad had the christmas tree out and was about to put it up. Once the chiro appt was done, we headed home and had a bite to eat. Shortly afterwards my sister came over for a bit and we just sat and talked while Magoo was watching Baby Eienstien. When she left, it was bath time. Patrick was really good but yawned the whole time. We had a snack then went I put him in bed at 7:30. I myself am going to have a quick shower then head to bed. May watch Lock, Stock and 2 Smoking Barrels tonight since they are due back tomorrow.

Ciao!

Day 5... Morning

Well Magoo got up pretty sad this morning at about 7:30. It may have something to do with the weather because I know I'm feeling it at the moment. We both got dressed, had a quick bite to eat then headed to play school. Once again, he started crying as soon as we got in there but stopped shortly afterwards. Good news though is that the candles came in so now people can stop bugging Deb for them!

When Patrick was at Play School, I did a little grocery shopping then headed home and cleaned a little bit. Feeling pretty lethargic though so not a whole lot got accomplished.

I picked up Patrick at about 11am. They were still upstairs because it was raining out which was actually kind of nice. Karen showed me the pictures Patrick had painted and the maccaroni he'd glued onto a sheet. Plus a bunch of new picture of him playing and in the stroller. It was funny because in one picture he's kind of reaching for Deseree's hand (A cute little girl) and all the rest of the pics are of him holding her hand. The only rough thing for him today is he had a little bit of a nose bleed which kind of leads me to think it was the weather again since I had a small one this morning as well.

Patrick had a quick lunch and started crying at the end of it so I took him to bed and he immediatly conked out. Poor little man!

I myself just keep zoning out. I sorted the candles and will probably do some delivery work when Magoo wakes up, but until then... I'm a total space case...

Day 4... Afternoon

The afternoon went pretty well. When Patrick was napping I... hmmm... drawing a blank for some reason. Moving On!!! When Patrick WOKE UP, we played, had snack, then went for a walk down town with Lisa and Bailey. The weather started turning so we headed home shortly afterwards. By this time Patrick was super hungry and tired, which kind of sucked since it was only 4pm. I was able to hold him off until 4:30 by getting him to colour some pictures for me.

When supper was done, I gave Magoo an early bath then he played downstairs whilst I folded the last of the laundry. Mom and Dad came over so mom could watch him while Dad and i went to see Casino Royale. Friggin GREAT movie!

And now i'm typing in the blog. Badda Bing Badda Boom!

Day 4... Morning

Patrick woke up at 8:10 this morning!! It was GREAT! Especially since I barely slept during the night. A toss up between not having Deb home and getting into a Dan Brown novel. Go figure. I even went to bed just before 9 and didn't watch any TV.

Anywho, once breakfast was over and play time was finished, Patrick and I headed out into town to look for more christmas lights. We hit EVERY store in town that would sell them but no one had any left. It ate up a good chunk of time but I'm pretty dissappointed. It was funny to see Patrick though with all the girls out there. He'd wave at all the pretty ones and wouldn't give the time of day to the... ummm... less pretty ones... hehehehehe. The lil guy's a chick magnet!

Once we got home, I snapped off a video of Patrick climbing into his lego basket while I was making his lunch. He didn't see me until he was already in the basket.

Here it is...

Day 3... Afternoon

Once Patrick woke up from his nap (About 1:30), I decided it was a nice day so we would go for a walk. We hit all the car lots in town, then the park, then back home. Took about an hour in total. Once we were back, Patrick read me a few stories and showed me how he could climb the slide then go back down it. We then grabbed a quick snack then headed to the Chiropractors. By this time Patrick was getting sleepy again and a bit cranky but he thought it was pretty neat how his old man can make the strangest sounds when he's turned into a pretzel. Once we finished at the Chiro's, I took Patrick to McDonalds for a late supper. He wolfed down half a thing of fries and 4 nuggets.

By the time we got home, Patrick was a zombie. I decided to forgo the bath and just put him into his PJ's. That woke him up a bit so he helped me change the sheets on the bed and start a load of laundry. Unfortunatly, that sapped his strength so much he could barely eat his cheese at 7. I was able to hold him off till 7:30 but his eyes rolled to the back of his head as soon as he had his buppy in his mouth.

As for me, I just finished tidying up the living room and kitchen. I think it will be an early night for me seeing i haven't gotten much sleep since Deb has gone. 6 hours a night just isn't enough!!

Day 3... Morning

The morning started off too early for my tastes. 6:50am. Patrick was kind of sad and crying when I heard him but as soon as I walked in, he was handing me his buppy's and was all stories. He even laid down for me so I could change him. Being tired myself, I wasn't looking forward to a battle to get him changed but since it went so smoothly, I found myself in a bit better mood.

Once we finished breakfast, Patrick and I began our day with reading stories and playing with puzzles. He did let me sit for awhile and read but it didn't last too long. Eventually he kept going for his seat so we sat down and watched some simpsons on the computer while he had a juice.

We then headed to the basement where I played a little xbox while patrick played with some different toys. He started to yawn pretty early though so we headed back up stairs and sat down for some more simpsons while I made up lunch (Pizza Pockets and Sweet Potatoe). He was finished just after 11 but was nearly falling out of his chair he was so tired.

Now... he's in bed and i'm starting on some laundry. Now your up to date..

Day 2... Afternoon

Well Patrick had a nice long nap until 1:30 so it gave me time to go through my lego's and clean up the slide from outside and put it in the living room. Once Patrick was done his nap, he walked into the living room and just started to giggle as he climbed the slide. I've included a video of it even though it's a bit grainy and the sound is out of sync. I'm sure you'll get a kick out of it.

On the menu for tonight is Tuna and Pea's on toast. If I can find the recipe that is...

Anyways... I'll let ya know how it goes.

Day 2 - Morning

The morning kind of started off rough since I woke up with a headache (Might be because of the crummy weather). Patrick woke up happy though at about 7:15 so it was all good. He had a big breakfast consisting of a whole bannana, half a waffle and nearly a whole cup of milk. He then played for a bit while I tidy'd up, then off to school. I took a round about way of getting there while he talked to me the whole time and didn't start crying until we were in the vestibule. Karen came and took him and as they went around the corner, all I could hear was a collective "awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww" from all the other girls in there. I swear he has them eating out of his hand!!!

As for me... I cleaned the house a bit, surfed online for about 1/2 hour then went for a walk to get some fresh air and clear my head. When I got back, I went through my night stand table. WHAT A MESS!!! But I DID find a whole bunch of lego which got me thinking. I'm going to set up a shelf downstairs in my room and put all my lego's on it assembled. I've got a few star wars sets (Tie Fighter, A-Wing from university, a smaller set from christmas, plus a whole bunch of various space sets when I was a kid.) The trick will be finding all the pieces and instructions so that may be a project for this afternoon when Patrick is napping. Depends on how I feel. It also requires me to build a shelf.... so I REALLY have to be motivated.

Anyways... I'll try and update you tonight with how the afternoon went.

Just Me and The Boy....

You heard me right!! The two hot studssssssssssss are bach'ing it this week! Deb decided it would be a good idea for her to go to Orangeville and be with her mom as she recovers from an emergency appendectomy (She'll be alright... just going to take time to heal).

I dropped Deb off in Chatsworth where her Dad came and picked her up this afternoon while Patrick napped and my Mom watched over him.

So far... things have gone splendidly. Patrick had a bit of an early supper consisting of Pea's, Juice and several pieces of garlic bread. No doubt he'll smell like a pizzaria in no time. We're just playing right now before bath time. He's pretty happy so when he starts rubbing his eyes, I'll take him up for it.

Later tonight I'll go through his clothes and pick out what he's going to wear to play school tomorrow so I don't have to think too much in the morning.

Well... now you're up to date! Keep watching for further developements AS THEY HAPPEN!!

It's a Bird... It's a Plane.... It's... It's....

HA!!! You think i'm going to tell you if we are having a boy or a girl that easy??

Did you?? Huh???

PUNK!!!!

You think I would just come out and say...

"Deb had her ultrasound today and we found out we are having a..."

Cause i'm not!

I just can't do it....

I have to make this long and drawn out... according to my wife anyways...

She thinks I should ramble on before telling people we are having a...

BABY!!

Ha!!

You thought you were going to get an answer there for a second..

DIDN'T YOU!!!

MWAHAHAHA

I could go on for hours like this and you'd never know we were going to have a little girl...

DAMN IT!!!!

I can't believe I just did that!!!!

Well now you know...

It's a baby girl and we are going to name her Katherine Jane Elizabeth

And Now You Know... And Knowing is half the battle

A Little Update...

To begin with, I started seeing a chiropractor after I pulled my back a couple weeks ago. Deb has been going for awhile now and thinks it's just great so I thought "What The Hell?! Couldn't make my back worse!". Sweet Merciful Crap was I ever Wrong!!! They are snapping and cracking and moving things that were.. in my opinon... never meant to be moved and the whole time I'm thinking to myself, "I'm paying these people to actually DO this to me??". It's like paying for sex but as soon as you have you're clothes off... they whip out the jumper cables and batteries!! Anyways, I'm seeing them 3 times a week for the moment because they said i'm so screwed up and it will take awhile to get things into alignment. I'll give them this though... the thing they do with the ears and trying to pull them off my head... Does seem to clear my sinuses. That may be because i've cried from the pain so much that there is nothing left in there but who knows!!

I also had a couple of my buddies up this weekend for a guys weekend. Well... we were suppose to do a little tree trimming in the back then play a lot of Xbox, get drunk, and play poker with a whole bunch of guys from work. We got the tree trimmed a bit but not as much as I had hoped because we didn't want to drop large branches on my shed roof or the nieghbors fence. We did play a lot of Xbox which was great. Didn't get drunk... but that's no big deal. I did have a lot of beers and tried quite a few new ones which was cool but they were so staggard I didn't even get a buzz which is weird. I usually buzz after 2. Oh well. The poker thing did tick me off though. All the guys from work bailed on us!! Stoopid Bastards!!! That's the second time that's happened so no more poker at my house!! The coolest thing though this weekend is that my best bud asked me to be one of the groomsmen in his wedding. He said I probably just assumed that I would be but he had to make it formal and ask me before he got too drunk and forgot again. Dumbass. hehehe

Well... that's my story and i'm sticking to it!
