We have reached the end of the countdown!!! So we are officially going away no turning back now! The littlest monster is almost fully recovered she spent all of yesterday saying"My tummy bery hun Gary" so that means she's back to her old give me food and I'll be fine self! Biggest littlest monster is loving the picture calender that it on the fridge "school,school,school,Mexico, GRANDMA'S House!" can you tell what she is most looking forward to. And I have officially given up the "Do we have enough money, did I pack enough things, are they packed right, Can I really wear a 2 piece bathing suit?" questions that have kept me up at night!
So off we go to Mexico (sorry couldn't resits!) For a long over due 2nd honey moon! Now place your bets to see how many times we call home to check in!

To many things...no real drive
Okay so Vacation Count 6 DAYS....
And I am so not ready!! For those who know me I'm a planner by heart! It is my passion!! I plan everything from weddings to simple outings, and dinners...If it can be made into an event and there can be a list I'm on it!
So here's the issue....6 days to go and I'm not even close to ready to go I have not looked up fun things to do, I kinda did a Medical authorization note, Sorta did a Important number's information card, bought some new clothes...so the list is kinda started but I can't seem to find the drive to get excited and now the lilest monster has some weird rash going on (perfect timing!) so hubby stayed home today had her at the Dr and she has some antibiotics. So at least that's figured out but I must admit I'm saying to myself this is not the right time to go away...she needs her mommy! But it's non refundable!!! And a wise person once told me that taking a 2nd (3rd,4th,5th,6th ect.) Honeymoon makes you better parents! (Thanks Mel!!)
So I now have this posted at the top of the blank sheet of the list I'm going to start making once I sign off and I will have a drink for all of you ...6days YEAH!!!

Things...
Okay I'm going to be of the very annoying people that count down days until there vacation.....15!!! Woooo Hoooo and it's only annoying when your not going on one (I know because that was me for about 6 years)
So we are getting ready for our 2nd Honeymoon, we just had the littlest monster's big 02 birthday which she brought her own gift of a fever and a cold...a few lucky people have actually taken it home with them (sorry Ninang) , I'm doing my last booty camp tonight although I feel like I should have been more strict with what I ate and how I actually worked out so I'm not to sure how the weigh in an measurements are going to go but I do know my size 12 new pants are fitting kinda big.
Long weekend is coming up and we have no plans!!!

So Flustered!
So yesterday I get a call at work that the Biggest Lil Monster cut her "leg" Well from all the screaming in the background I thought it was her leg. I dashed home on what I hoped would be a few moments of my lunch hour to discover she had SLICED the top of her index finger on the leg of a metal folding chair ...see I knew leg was in there somewhere!
The gushing had stopped by the time I had made it home and she was refusing to move or let any look at it...so off we were to the hospital because with the quick peak I had it look kinda bad.
We waited 4 hours to see the Dr who just took a quick glance and said "Yah it could use a stitch or 2 but I don't think she like it so we'll just tape it." So the Nurse comes to "tape it" and as my poor baby is grossed out by blood and scared she was crying the nurse says "your creating a lot of fuss over nothing!"
OKAY BREATH....SIDE NOTE....I have the UTMOST RESPECT in Nurse's, Doctor's and all people who generally deal with all things I consider gross...As I was having both c-section's I insited that they take the baby and wipe her off so I didn't see any gook! OKAY BACK TO THE RANT
SHE's 3!!! The cut is almost half way across her little biggest finger and FYI SHE'S 3 and we have been here for 4 hours and she missed her nap!!! Okay so we got taped up as I told her it would be okay and gave her a ton of kisses (yah so I slide in the "yah a hospital can be a scary place when your only 3" while looking at the nurse) And off we went...NO Instruction's finger starts to bleed again on the way to the parking lot...so we go back...Nurse Grouchy Pants is Visibly upset that I may have a question and when I ask what should I do so that she's not bleeding all over the place she says you can put a band aid....nope one was not provided...
We get home and go to put another band aid on it (BARBIE!!) and she start pouring blood all over the place...sigh Now mommy's really mad I call tele health (which is fantastic!) and they say yah you should go have it looked at but you can go into a clinic....SOOOOOOO off we go again this time to an after hours clinic located in a hospital just in case (They say a mother always knows right!)
So we get taken right in at the after hours and and he looks at it and says "you might be better off with a stitch but that's not what worries me...does her finger always bend like that?" WTF...okay so now we need and xray...so off we go to wait another 4.5 hours and then have an Xray and a huge bandage and a followup with a plastics clinic in 1 weeks time...Like I said WTF...
So shout out to the awesome hard working Dr's and Nurse's at Scarborough Grace I'm not mad that when I came to ask 4 hours later what was going on that they couldn't find us in the system (but they did rush us through really quick after that and the Dr was super nice Lil monster loved him eventhough there was no lolli pop)... The people at the Plastic's clinic who already had my appointment ready this morning when I called in...The guy in the waiting room who never noticed his shirt was sticking out of his zipper...The Xray guy who tried to pick a fight for putting my kid at the end of the bed while she was waiting to get bandaged...The Tim Horton's guy that with a little flirting gave me a coffee even though they were closed I won't tell that you may have pocketed the money I gave you...But most of all the parking at both hospital may you put my $16.00 each to good use!

YIKES!!!
Big things happened yesterday!
I started Booty Camp (well it was supposed to start on Monday however due to thunder storms it was cancelled...whew).
So lets back track a little in the past 3 years I have had 2 babies and the most exercise I get is lugging each child and all the "stuff" that goes with them around or running up and down the stairs in a panic looking for someones bubba (Sippy Cup of Milk) or sasa bear (liltest monster's bestest buddy). Now they way I rationalize this is that my children together weigh just over 50lbs! Now I was doing the weight watchers meeting however Cheerleading has changed to Thursday night so yes I could have found another meeting...but I didn't! And I just bought new pants on Friday and found the smaller size I made it to is kinda loose. So I'm not doing as well as I was but I'm moving in the right direction!
Okay so Booty camp starts yesterday with "Hey lets run up and down a hill 3 times" (I was immediately thinking OMG what have I got myself into). During the course of an hour I found myself almost puking TWICE!! The Instructor asked "who's hating me right now" And yes I raised my hand...hey I was just being honest :) But I did survive...okay so I ended up puking in the flowers when I got home, and I can't bend my legs right now but hey I survived.

Wedding Fun and Family
Well that kinda sum's up the weekend for me. A very good friend married her true love this weekend and we were honored to witness the love, tears, and happiness that these two share. I spent a lot of it thinking "oh my there lives are just starting a whole new chapter" and I found myself looking over to hubby and thinking hey he chose me! I've always looked back at our wedding day with great fondness sure there are a few things I would have changed like the time of the reception and I would have gotten a longer veil, however those are not the things people look back on or at least I hope not. I hope that they look at what I look back on that is the day I gained a sister, 2 younger brother, a few dozen cousin, another mom and dad, and a whole bunch of people I refer to as Tita (Aunt) and Uncle just because I can't remember all the names!
And for that I am truly thankful!

TMI
Okay so this is going to be TMI so if your a little weireded out but TMI (Mar this mean you) stop reading now!
Okay so I work in a office of all girls and generally just before the clock hit's 4:30 we start the girl talk...which you can never have to much of! So yesterday the topic somehow got on to personal grooming. Now that I'm married I don't really have the time for all the justifications of paying money to have someone generally pour hot wax onto me and the rip tiny hair's out of my skin and I must admit I no longer have option of showering without two little heads peeking in asking "mama watcha doin?" when I'm trying to wash my hair. So very often we run into this conversation...
Me "hey hon lets see who leg hair is longer mine or yours?"
Him "Yah, that's just kinda gross"
Me "okay yah I know, I'm going to shower and shave my legs!"
Him (as I get up and leave him with the monster's)"Hey where you going"
So as you can see personal "grooming" not high on the priority list but some how at 5:30 I was sitting in a salon with a co-worker on the verge of waiting for my turn for some now looking back much needed waxing!
And I wonder why do we go into a stranger and say "here's 30 bucks please inflict some pain" yah yah yah I survived but I still remember the pain!
