HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!
Monday, December 31st, 2007How was everyone’s christmas? Ours was great! We went out to Granny’s (Den’s granny) and visited there for 5 days. The boys got totally spoiled with a whole bunch of toys and clothes. But that’s the usual, especially with Den’s family, since they’re the only great grandkids for Granny so far. Dennis totally spoiled me. He brought out this HUGE box. And it was heavy, and rattled, and i had no idea what was in it. So I, with the help of Robbie, opened it up. Plain white box. That doesn’t help me out. So i opened up the 8 miles of tape Den used to seal the box. On top was two of my couch cushions…..um, ok. I have a naked couch at home. Our bbq utensil set was in there. Hmmmm, that would be the rattle…..A couple phone books, a case of cd’s. OK, so where’s the present? In a little La Senza Bag. The bastard had me totally fooled! In the bag, there were a handful of gift cards. La Senza, 100 bucks. YAY I can buy more than 1 bra! Reitman’s….200 bucks. YAY! I can buy a lot of clothes for 200 bucks! Specially since it’s their end of season sale and it’s up to 70% off! And at the very bottom was the best gift ever! A day at the Life Spa, here in Calgary!!!!! I get to go for a whole day of complete pampering! I’m sooooo excited!
Den made out pretty good too, he got his Rock Band game in November. But he also got Lego Star Wars, the Complete Saga (with the guide) and tickets to one of his favorite bands of all time Blue Rodeo! (thanks Mom and Geo!)
Anyways, hope everyone has a happy new year! Talk to you soon!
Rollerskating
Wednesday, December 5th, 2007So, for the Beavers/Scouts christmas party, we went to Lloyd’s Recreation and went rollerskating! I was worried that the boys would get all frustrated right off the start, and not want to do it, but they had a blast! They fell, got up, fell, got up, fell, got up and by the end of the night, were covered in bruises, but had the best time ever and had gotten remarkably better at skating! Robbie really took to it, Clay I think over thought things too much, but he loved it too! Even Mom and Dad got on skates! Here’s some pics!
even santa came to skate!
Can we just say….
Tuesday, November 27th, 2007that Calgary drivers are idiots. Pure and simple. We got our first real snowfall of the season last night/this morning. It seems as soon as there a tiny bit of snow on the ground, traffic grinds to a halt. I left my house this morning at 720 to take Dennis to work. Normally this would take 20-25 mins to get there, leaving plenty of time for me and the boys to hit a Tim’s on the way to drop Clay off at school by 830. Well, not today. We got to Den’s work around….810, which isn’t too too bad. But then it took me 1 1/2 hrs to get home. So needless to say, Clay didn’t go to school today. What’s the point for one hour? So, we get home around 915, grab a few things, then off to my dr appt up in the north. That takes us almost an hour to get to. Then, after an hour at the doc (stupid physical) took us almost 2 hrs to get back south to IKEA to have lunch and pick up our xmas tree. So, by this time it’s 130 and we have to go back up north to the Children’s hospital for Clay’s eye appt. After 2 hrs in the hospital clinic, it took us 2 hours to get back to our home neighborhood, and off to beavers. Drop Clay off, rush to pick dennis up at work by 7, and make it back to get Clay by 730. Finally, 8pm we got home. I’m so cranky and tired, it’s not funny. Of 12 hours out of the house, all but about three were in the car driving. Stupid people in their stupid trucks/suv/hummers that think they can handle the snow, even if they don’t have the proper tires. SLOW THE HELL DOWN!!!!! I betcha out of all the multi car pile ups we had today, 90% of them were probably caused by some hot shot idiot who thinks he can drive in snow as if it weren’t there. If they’d slowed down, i bet we would’ve been able to do at least 50 km on Deerfoot Trail instead of the 20 km. (Deerfoot Trail is a 100km/hr zone, for those not in the know.) I should’ve stayed in bed.
So, Like, Clay has
Friday, November 2nd, 2007lost ANOTHER TOOTH!!!!! That makes him look like a hockey player!
and robbie wanted to get in on the picture action
CLAY HAS
Wednesday, October 24th, 2007LOST HIS TOOTH!!!!! YAYAYAYAYAYAYAAAAAAY!
CLAY HAS
Wednesday, October 17th, 2007two loose teeth! He bit into an apple yesterday and said “ouch!” So I thought he maybe had some apple skin between his teeth. But no, so i wiggled his two bottom front teeth and yes! they’re loose! He’s excited, but nervous too. He doesn’t want to swallow them when they fall out. I told him i’ve lost all my baby teeth, and I never ever swallowed one. That seemed to calm him a little. SO EXCITING!
Also, I enrolled Clay into Beavers (a part of Scouts Canada) HE LOVES IT! everyday last week “do i get to go to beavers today?” “today?” I think it’ll be great, he’ll learn so many life skills, and make so many friends.
Happy Gobble Gobble!
Monday, October 8th, 2007Happy turkey day! We didn’t have a turkey dinner this year, I worked all weekend. Booooo! But, in good news, i got time and a half, so it was worth it. I guess. Not much has been happening in the Horvath world lately. Clay goes to school. Robbie is potty training. Dennis and I are working. Haven’t had much time to write lately. Just wanted to let you all know we’re still alive. Hope the turkey was good!
LORD LOVE A DUCK!
Wednesday, September 12th, 2007Apparently that was my Papa’s favourite saying. I’ve been saying it a lot lately. (my grandfather passed away back in 1999) I never knew that was what he used to say. He never spoke much when we were around. He was a quiet man. But he and I are a lot alike. He ate nothing but meat and potatoes. I LOVE meat and potatoes. We’re both quiet people watchers, and we both say (said) Lord love a duck! Not sure why I started saying it, maybe Papa’s put it in my brain to remind me he’s still around. At least it’s better than Crapple (wink wink Trish!)
So Robbie turned Three on saturday. THREE! Where has the time gone? He’s huge! He’s the size of a kindergartener! I can’t believe he’s growing so fast. (well, i can, but LORD LOVE A DUCK! where’s the time gone?) We had a party for him on sunday. It was a Lightning McQueen theme. He got totally spoiled of course. Here’s some pics…. good times. good times.
Almost a month
Wednesday, August 22nd, 2007has gone by since Rebecca and Mercedes passed away. It’s been hard. Just last night I had trouble falling asleep because I kept thinking about them. I think about Emile too. He’s been through hell and back. Mercedes was his daughter in every way except biologically. But at least I’m not crying anymore. That’s a good thing, because Rebecca would kick my ass for crying over her.
In other news, I’ve changed meds. I’m on prozac now, instead of Effexor. My psychologist suggested i go on it, and Clonadine as well, to try to stablize my nervous system and work on stopping pulling. Not sure about the clonadine yet, haven’t done enough research about it, and it’s too early to tell with the prozac, because i just started taking it yesterday. I feel gross today though. Dizzy, nauseous, that sort of thing, since my body’s going through withdrawal of the effexor. hopefully it won’t last that long.
I’ve gotta shave my head again. I was doing so well, had a full head of (very very short) hair, pulling was minimal. I was doing great! Then all this stuff with Rebecca and Mercedes happened, and I freaked out. Pulling has been terrible. So, off with the hair yet again. Oh well, everyone says i look good with a shaved head. So that’s a bonus.
The boys are doing well. Can you believe Clay will be in Kindergarten in less than three weeks?!?!! My baby is all groweded up! And Robbie’s going to be three in a few weeks! They’re growing so fast, i can’t believe it! Before you know it, they’ll be teen agers asking for 50 bucks and the keys to the car.
So that’s about it. So sorry i was away for so long. Our puter kaputted on us, and I had no way of writing or playing games or anything. It was torture! How did we ever survive without internet before? Crazyness. Talk to ya soon~!
