One time I contorted my face so badly that I pulled muscles in my face and neck.
Sloan has been cranky. He's had a runny nose for a long time. I thought maybe he had an ear infection. I held off going to the dr.s right away. The other day, on a particular morning that he crankily wouldn't let me get anything done, I phoned to make an appointment. My doctor wasn't available until next week so I agreed to see another dr. Well, he was a little condescending. He was like "Babies get fussy for a few reasons: 1) They're hungry 2)They need a diaper change 3) They're colicky 4)They're tired 5)They're teething." Hello, I sort of already know that! It turned out his ears weren't infected and he made me feel dumb for coming in at all. I just wanted to check. I wasn't certain. Then as I was leaving he was all "feel free to come back anytime you think something might be wrong." ha whatever. I hate how doctors can make you feel dumb or irrational or delusional. Bullies.
I feel excited about Christmas and I feel like it's way too early. I used to be able to hold off until dec 1, but this year I'm in a Chrismassy mood. Bring on the peppermint and cinnamon smells, bring on the holiday cheer. I'm all for cheeriness. I mean, November is one of my least favourite months of the year- it's pretty dreary, so why not let a little Christmas in, in November? I want to put lights up on our house this year. Mom gave me some outside lights, and Kyle is going to put them up whether he likes it or not. I always wanted to be one of those families that put lights up, pretty ones, at Christmas. It hasn't worked so well thus far. Mostly because of where we've lived. Aparment?- meh. Huge gigantic house where we mostly lived/saw the side of the house, but would have had to put lights all along the front too?-no thanks. Where we live now? Not so bad. It's not our own house or anything but it could do with some Christmas cheer lights, even if it's only on our half of the duplex.
What's weird to me is that we most likely won't be living here at this time next year. What's weird is that I don't even know where we're going to end up. Kyle says he has the highest chance of getting accepted into Calgary, and my only other choice would be UBC. I don't want to move really really far. I know we may end up having to do that though. It's sort of exciting and sort of sad for me. I love Nanaimo, and I'm not ashamed to say it. It's beautiful here. It's the perfect size city for me, not too huge, no bad traffic, but decent malls. I know my way around and where everything is. I have already built up my hair styling network, and would never have a problem getting a job if need be, and I have a few hair dresser friends that trade doing my hair for me doing theirs. My midwives. I love my midwives. They're really special to me. And of course, hello, all my friends and family. Having a free babysitter, having a sister here. I'm so glad that of all the people left here from our family that it's one of my sisters. Katie is definitely one of my best friends.
Ok well now I've gone and made myself feel sad about leaving. That wasn't what I intended. At least if we move to Vancouver it won't be far from Nanaimo, and I can make frequent visits. It's just the end of an era. If we move, I don't know if we'll ever come back. It'll depend of Kyle's ability to get a good job.
Well I get to wake up my kids and pick up Kyle from school and go straight from there to drop the boys off for our date. yay! I love date night.
