Today is my brother Jeff's 29th Birthday! So if you happen to read this Jeff, Happy Birthday big brother!! Love you! Tomorrow is my mother in laws birthday and then on Friday is Derek's! Friday night Derek and I will have a night to ourselves and I am really looking forward to it, especially since he is getting over this flu bug finally. So friday will be my first cheat day since starting back on eating right saturday, and the truth is I haven't even craved any sweets, I have barely thought of them.

Last night at 8 I went for a walk with a bunch of ladies, but walked with Deb and Trisha, while the other ladies stayed about 1km ahead of us lol. But it was amazing to talk to Deb and Trisha, they were incredibly easy to talk to and we got along great. Trisha is the one who is giving us the free family photo shoot, and I was looking at her blog today and her work is beautiful, my favourite by far is the 1950's pin up shoot she did! But the walk was really good, it was a 5km treck through Clinton, around the back streets. What I learned? wear good shoes, and even though it is winter, do not wear your boots, they gave both my heels blisters and my feet were killing me last night! But it was well worth it to have great conversations and have some time to myself. I look forward to next weeks walk, and I may even bring Kai out on a walk today through the same area, get him out of the house and enjoy the beautiful day.

Yesturday I folded 6 loads of laundry, ughhhh,,, laundry,,,you annoy me! The big problem is finding a place to put all the clothes? I mean at one point everything fit in dressers and closets etc, and somehow now we have run out of space to put the clothes. WTH?? I may have gotten rid of Reiko's crib in my bedroom, but now it is full of everyone's clothes, with no where to put half of them. The sad part? I have already gotten rid of everything that I can, I guess now it is Derek's turn to get rid of some stuff. Today there isn't much that needs to be cleaned, thankfully. But we have alot of grocery shopping to do, which Derek will not be to happy about lol.

Kai is having a chocolate mousse, right now, and I think he will need a big bath when he is finished!

Ohh to be 3 again...

Reiko had an okay night last night with the respite care, Derek had to give him some pain meds during the night, he was screaming quite hard, Derek is thinking it may have been his respite worker moving his bad femur, he was really upset, so it was definitely pain. This morning he has been in a great mood, full of smiles and talking, and he has no started the fake cough!! hahahaha oh and playing with his tounge, he is getting to be a smart little cookie. Kai came to sleep with us last night and since Derek was home to, it was very cramped in bed, Kai slept in the middle and i was right on the edge, he was right on me and I am pretty sure Derek had lots of room, Kai somehow got to the other end of the bed and was kicking me in the face all night, and sleeping on my stomach, he also stole all the covers. It was really a fun night...Right now Derek is still sleeping, but in 15minutes I am waking his butt up and going back to bed for a while!

Reiko's chair should be here any day now, and I am getting so anxious for it to get here, I really want to see how it fits him and how much he loves it! This chair will change his life! I cannot wait!!

Random thought : Do you ever want to just slap the people on infomercials? they act like the stupiest things are so amazing and that no on would ever think of it. Like the BABY BULLET, its sooooooo amazing because unlike the regular bullet that you most likely have, you can put the date on the food when you made it! WHOO WOULD HAVE THOUGHT??  And obviously it would be impossible to know when you made the baby food with the other bullet because it doesn't have the special date maker on it! So guess what, now I must go out and buy the new baby bullet, because my regular magic bullet just will not do anymore.

Kai and I were looking at pictures of the Toronto Zoo and Marine Land, I think this summer we will go to the Toronto Zoo instead of Marine Land. Last September we planned on going to M.Land with my sisters family, but Reiko went into the hospital for pneumonia, so M.Land is all Kai has talked about for months, but I think the Toronto Zoo would be much better and more fun, from what I remember, M.Land is kinda boring and really not much to it. He loved looking at the pictures today though and was getting quite excited. I can't wait to bring him this summer! I hope it will be amazing for him.

Ok off to wake up my husband, *evil laughter*. Talk to you later!
