Blog Stalking

Well, in attempt to kill time I was doing some blog stalking and noticing that no one has been updating their blogs latley...and then I thought....neither have I. So, here it goes. highlights of single mommy life the past couple of weeks:
-150 ziplock bags on the floor
-toast + butter on head = "hat"
-favorite food = taco chips?
-waking up at 5:30 every !@#!@$@#$ morning
-chasing and tackling her in every diaper change/clothing change event
-finally getting a montly downtown parking spot after 3 months on multiple wait lists

Hmm....now I'm going to play online scrabble with a co-worker...i mean...work...

Heard from Ethan

Well, I got a couple of calls from Ethan this weekend. He said that things are going good and that he's really enjoying himself at boot camp. I was quite amused when he said "I look so good in my uniform!". ha ha. Looks like his graduation will be at the beginning of april, and then he heads off to cornwall for 2 more months of training. I'm hoping to go to the graduation, and probably won't take sarah - as the 4 hours flight would be killer with a squirmy toddler! nothing really else new to report. Me and Sarah are surviving...although she's been sick and has some possible food alergies/ infant reflux....joy..... She's a cute kid though and seems to be doing well with ethan gone. We play with the "daddy doll" quite often and she likes to tuck him into his bed and cover him in stickers...

....I should really use this thing

Ok, I have a new years plan of using this blog more. It has the potential to be a good way to keep track of the ongoings of our life. Well, Christmas was good. We went to Raymond and Crossfield and did the usual sorts of things. Sarah is finally at the age where she kinda knows what's going on. She likes all the christmas lights and liked getting presents. After Christmas we spent a week doing more house renos. We finished the kitchen and re-did the bathroom. On Saturday ethan shipped off to Ontario for basic training. I haven't heard from him yet, but today is his first official day - so I imagine they are shaving him bald and yelling at him at this very moment :) Single parenthood has been pretty insane so far, but I did manage to shower and get all packed and come to work today - so that's a good start :) Sarah seemed happy to go to daycare, so that was good too. I washed my cell phone in the washing machine....so that sux....hmm.....nothing really else new to report. Oh, Sarah had her first day at nursery yesterday - she's finally 18 months - hoooray! She seemed to really enjoy it, which means I'm looking forward to going to some church with some peace and quiet!
