So, Thanksgiving is over - and we are all getting over our Turkey Coma!

We got a new camera that can take video - this is one of our first video!

And some new photos on Flikr

Let me know what you think.

Well, Simon’s birthday is over now and he had a great time!

We had a party for him on the actual Thursday with Bob’s family. A nice evening of having fun and celebrating a little 3yr old.

Then we had a full out party on Saturday with about 25 people (8 kids and a bunch of parents). I had ordered a plate of triangle sandwiches and a plate of cheese cubes. Then I had bought some mini quiches and little hot dogs in puff pastry. What great food!

My Mom (Nana) brought some veggies (I made the dip) and so it was really lots of great food.

The quiches and littel hot dogs were made with puff pastry - they were so good. I really preffer puff pastry to doughier types of crusts. I want to have more. The only problem is you have to watch them really carefully in the over, they burn very easily.

I have yet to master my oven in this house - it seems to heat so much more than the other one, and I have burnt so many nice meals!! Good thing we have a Jen-air fan nearby

Simon had a really great time. Lots of toys, lots of food, lots of friends and lots of Candy (not that he has had much of it!)

My Piniata worked so well. All the little kids tried to break it, and then the bigger kids finished it off! It was the 9yr old that got the final wack in - I have learnt alot about making this piniata and I would probably do it again - it took about 2 weeks to do it right and have it dry properly - It would probably dry faster in winter with the heat on in the house, but what can ya do - the birthday was in Sept!

So that is about it!

Thanks

So I realized in show # 110 that I said something I was not proud of.

I have not heard the show yet, since we did it, but it was bothering me when I went to bed.

When we were talking about the author of the little black book, we laughed about him probably being not married, and I said, or he is gay. I truly regret saying that.

I guess I meant that he may have been gay, having not really understood what it is like to live with a Wife - but even that explanation seems weak.

I am not sure if I offended anyone with that comment, I hope not. I have not had any feedback about it, I just wanted to clear my mind about it. That’s all.

Thanks

Wow, it really has been a long time since I last posted here!

Well, since I haven’t done a show in awhile, I thought maybe I can post some stuff here

So it’s early Septembre 2006, and Simon went to pre-school for the first time yesterday. It went really well. Alot of the other kids were crying and having fits and Simon was fine. There were cars and toys to play with, so he just played with those until the teacher told them to sit down. I guess.

As a Stay at home Mom, I had mixed feelings about him going to school. First, I feel he is a bit young. He isn’t even 3 yet (but will be soon). Since his birthday is in Sept, he is in the class for him. I would have loved to waited another year, but then he would have missed a year of this school and then I would have been worried that he would be behind! oh, so many dilemas.

Another feeling I had was to be a fly on the wall. I have been so involved in everything he does, that I also wanted to know what he was doing and how he was reacting to it. I don’t want to interfere with his learning, but being away from him knowing that he was learning all sorts of stuff…. well…. I just wanted to see how he did. This is the part where we learn to let go….. I guess! I also like to have conversations with him about what he does all day, so this is a bit tough, since I don’t know the nursery rhymes they are learning!

He is the youngest in his class, so of course I worry about that. Some kids will be turning 4 in Octobre, so there is really a big gap between him and them, in terms of language and stuff…. but overall, I am sure he will do fine.

If you would like to see some photos of him, check out my Flikr page.

As for not having done a show in awhile…. again, mixed feelings about that too.

First off - I am having trouble finding good content, some stuff here and there, but nothing that is making me jump on!
Time is tough, Simon has been getting to bed too late - 8:30 to 9:ish, so by the time I have decompressed a bit, then its late and I am too tired to get a show out. There are times to when Bob gives me the impression he doesn’t feel up to it either. He spends his days in the office/Studio, so to be in it at night too is tough! I understand, and feel bad if I ask him to do a show.

I often feel bad when I ask Bob to do a show, and then its tough to do a show, when we are not perfectly in sync. Since this is a couple cast, if ever we have a disagreement or something (don’t need to go into that here!) then doing a show is totally out of the question.

So the trouble is finding time and the two of us being “up” about it! Does that make any sense?

Well, that is about it for now - back to watching Sesame Street

Let me know what you think of this post - or if anyone is out there reading this.

Thanks

Well I am now feeling pretty lousy.

I have a pretty miserable Sinus cold - all in my head, so much Sinus stuff, that my left eye has totally puffed out! Now I am probably going to get a Sinus infection - yuck!!

Bob has been working everyday this weekend - busy, busy, busy….

But, Simon has found the Sesame Street website and love tickling Elmo!! so cute

Well, we didn’t get a show out last night - I figured it would be good to go out and see some friends! It was a good game - I just watched, but my friend’s team won!

I had a chance to listen to a lot of podcasts today! Some of them were really great!

The Big Show - Aaron did the show with his Wife - great show.
Chub Creek - first time I have listened - really great
Zaldor’s world - Another first time - his computer took over the show - great music!

So, I am hoping on doing a show tonight! Bob is supposed to work late again - so hopefully he will have enough energy to get one out!!

I am also supposed to go and help with the Christmas crafts for a local church - I helped lots last year, but with Bob working, its hard for me to get out of the house!! But I really want to get a show out - so I will see if I can do both!

So many demands, so little time !!

So here is the link to the Feed

Ok, so I am sitting around the house, making notes and finding content - waiting for Bob to get home and be ready to set up the Studio for a show…

But see its Tuesday night, and I have been invited to go hang out with the soccer team - most of them play in another league - and maybe even play with them tonight…. I don’t know what time Bob will be home - he has some sort of Hockey draft thing he has to be part of - so he may just stay at work even later to do this Hockey thing (see how it is already affecting the show??!!) and then by the time he is home, I will have missed the chance to hop in the car with the other girls… then be stuck at home another night, with Bob doing more Hockey stuff and me bored out of my mind!!

Hey maybe we can do a show tonight!!

We’ll see…
