MOMS

My Mom is down for a couple of days, and can I just say that I love having my mom here. It is so nice to have her here to go shopping with. Pick up thomas when Alyssa is napping, and of course just to sit and have coffee and conversation with. I think that I will keep her and poor Dad will just have to adjust. But then he would have to live on toast and sandwiches and that wouldn't be nice either. HMMM... Well okay, she can go home to him on Wednesday. That is when he is flying in from Holland, which he spent three weeks there with Kathy. They had a wonderful time, and the Eiffel Tower is really high, I am told!

Wow! It has been a while.

For the whole weekend, we were up in Sackville at a hockey tournament. Micah's team lost every game but oh well. They played pretty good the last game. So we stay over Saturday night to be with Esther and chuck and Alyssa, is sick. And I mean gross sick.

On Sunday we return home, but not before Mike and the boys go to the Acadia Vs. NHL oldtimers game. Alyssa and I shop for a while but I am not feeling that great and just want to go home. Mike tells me to get healthy, because I am always complaining that I am sick. WELL, in the middle of the night, I am so sick, that I can't stay out of the bathroom, then Thomas comes up, runs into my bathroom door and pukes all over the floor. Try cleaning that out of carpet at one in the morning. He then proceeds to sleep on our floor, and throw up every hour. He stays home all day and sleeps all day. I mean all day. Woke up and six at night, and went back to sleep, at eight-thirty. Alyssa, who we thinks is better, is laying with me on our NEW WHITE couch. See where this is going? Yes she spews orange juice all over me and the couch. What am I more concerned about? Yes my couch, and her of course. She ends up sleeping with me last night as well. Both of the kids still throwing up. Thomas is home from school, again today. And Alyssa is now curled up in is arms sound asleep. On the plus side, I am feeling better and even showered and everything. I paid Micah to stay home yesterday and look after Nick, so I could lay on the couch and sleep. He earned his money as he looked after Nick, Alyssa, and me. Gotta love older kids!
