I Love My Kids


“I love my kids.”

It’s a simple statement really, and one that every single parent remarks on nearly every single day.  Maybe it’s a passing comment to a friend, a colleague, a relative or even a stranger.  Maybe it’s a reminder to yourself of why you agreed to do so much for/with your kids (i.e, driving them to gymnastics, taking them to skating, volunteering as a supervisor for a field trip…).  Or maybe it’s the mantra you repeat to yourself when things get tough, the kids get annoying and you need to remember that you really do just love your kids.

I have to admit that most weeks “I love my kids” can be all three of those things for me.

Ok, I’m not kidding anyone.  Every day that simple statement means all 3 of those things to me.

Regardless though, it remains true. 

Even when they are driving me absolutely, bat-shit crazy, I love my kids.

Even when I have to lock myself in my room and pray for sanctuary… I love my kids.

Even when they are doing everything in their power to make me want to run away crying and screaming, while pulling my hair out… I love my kids.

Why??

Because when I’m sick or sad, the Boy will give me hugs and wish me better.

Because when I’m in a bad mood, the Princess will turn on my favorite song and get me to dance around the house with her.

Because when I’m feeling lonely, Baby will curl up in bed with me and put her arm around my neck to sleep.

Having kids isn’t always easy.  It’s not always fun.  Some days it really, really sucks.  But at the end of everyday, no matter whether it’s been a good one or a bad one, I wouldn’t change a thing. 

Because I love my kids, and they make everything worthwhile.

Our Newest Treasure

After all the waiting, both patient and impatiently, the baby is finally here!!! So without further ado, I'd like to introduce to you all: Helyn Saphira Marie Our precious jewel ;) Born August 6, 2008 [08-06-08] 5:59pm 7lbs 12oz, 21 1/4 inches (our biggest baby!) As for information on the actual birth, for those of you who are interested... I mentioned in my last post I had a doctors appointment on Wednesday afternoon and when he checked me I was 3cm dilated. Now at this point [1:15pm] I wasn't actually having any contractions and by the end of the appointment he had made arrangements to induce me on Thursday morning - which would have been the 7th. I went from the doctors office to my mom's office to let her know how things had gone and to visit for a few minutes. By 2pm I'd started to have a few contractions but I didn't think too much about them as they weren't really all that different from what I'd been having for the last week or so. By 2:30p...

Trick-or-Treating with the Kids!!

OH A HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!!! She was Piglet at 5 months. A devil the next year. Last year Arora was a 'Butterfly Princess Fairy' (she couldn't narrow it down to just one), and this year we settled on being a witch. The decision making bit for the costume, of course, was that it had bright pink in it. But mommy (obviously that's me) was able to find a pair of tights and a sweater in the same shade of bright pink, so on the whole the Witch was a winner!!! Being only three weeks old last year on Halloween Zack didn't actually dress up. In a sense he was just 'a new-born' and we didn't actually take him around at all. This year though we (and I suppose that should really just be 'I') wanted his costume to be something really cute, but cool too. When I was shopping in Calgary a couple weeks ago I was able to find the PERFECT costume, at Old Navy of all places, and though mom and I worried that it might be a bit too big, we were wrong, it ...

A Quickie!

So here's an update on the whole oven/stove issue. Allow me to briefly describe the conversation I had with my mom... Me: It worked before and now it doesn't. It's broken. (somewhat paraphrased) Mom: Check the fuses. Me: I will, but I'd rather have a new one. Mom: And if that's not it then replace the elements. Me: I will. But I'd really prefer a new one. Mom: Dad will be home on the weekend I'm sure he'd could look at it for you, if you need him too. (that one's somewhat paraphrased too but that's the gist of what she said) Me: He can. But I'd REALLY rather have a new one. For Christmas and all. (and I smiled sweetly even though she couldn't actually see it since we were on the phone!) Mom: It can probably be fixed. Me: Probably. Though I'd REALLY just like to get a NEW ONE! Mom: If it can't be fixed, we'll see. Me: (and I'm smiling really big now) Since it's Christmas and all? Mom: Yeah, Christmas. Somehow, ...
