Well folks I am now officially off from work until the baby comes.
Yesterday was a bitter sweet day. I received so many presents from parents and children. G also received some presents as a BIG BROTHER. It was a day filled with ups and downs.
When I woke up this morn, G climbed in bed with me, snuggled in and gave me a sleepy smile, I thought of how excited I am to just enjoy my time with just him and I, oh and C of course.
I can't wait until the baby comes too! It will be an adventure with two children I am sure. Anyway I am excited to watch shows during the day and cook some home cooked meals rather than buy quick fixes for my self. Time has been tight lately.
Today me and the fam are heading to the valley.. To ... Go apple picking. I know not relay exciting but oh have to know. I have been doing this off and on over the years and I love it. I am going to get some pics of G amongst the fall decor and apples. I LOVE FALL.
Can't wait to make apple crisp too. Holy moly I have gone domesticated.
Anyway off to make some tea, because I feel very groggy still. Need to wake up.
Will be posting more often now that I am home!

Rolling Stones
The Rolling Stones have hit Halifax. Last night was their Bigger Bang concert held at the Halifax Commons. A stage was built and fences were erected and streets were closed down.
They were not the only event hitting town last night, as a pre season NHL game was held at the metro center. Also a huskies game was on in which sorry to say they lost! A cruise ship was at dock where more than 8000 passengers unloaded to tour around Halifax.
It was a night to remember for many. In spite of all the goings on's it rained from 4 pm through the night. Making the life of concert goers a wet one.
My Parents partook in this history making event and said that the concert was well worth the money and the conditions of mother nature. You have to understand that my dad is the ultimate rolling stone fan, (Although modest and this being his first time seeing them live) His dream was to see them in concert. My father is NOT one to go to an outdoor concert. He likes the use of clean bathrooms and hates being bobbled by crowds of people, but this may have been the last time he ever had a chance to see them.
It was a dream come true. When he told me this morn about his heart pounding experience, them emotion in his voice and the "little kid" like factor that went with it, made me well up with tears. He was awe struck that this band.. His band... Was 40 feet way from him, and all of his favorite tunes were played. At one point Mick and the boys came out close to the crowd and he swears that Keith Richard looked at him and smiled. I think he nearly fainted. Not out of love but just pure amazement. I mean think of the fact he has loved them since he was a teen. My dad is now 46 years old. This has been a life long admiration for a music group. All of his milestones could almost be marked by a rolling stones song.
I am proud and jealous that he went. I wish I could have seen his face as the opening cords of " Start Me Up", were played. ( their opening song).
So dear Dad I am so happy that you got to experience the Rolling Stones Live.
Love you Mama J

Little G VS the Belly
my odds are on little G. Let me tell you how angry my child has been with me.
He is seeing red.. at his age this type of tantrum is well... the shits. I wouldn't even call it a tantrum..... The child was pisssed off and I was going to know about it.
All weekend the boy has been arguing with me, yet demanding all of my attention. Things are changing in his life as he fosters more independence and is ecouraged to be a "big boy". Little G has decided that being a "big boy" is far from his list of things to do..... along with following any structure at home. As he tries to find his way with expressions and independence he keeps hearing form everybody that he has to help mommy, becuase he is going to be a "big Brother" soon.
G wants nothing more to be just G. Dare I blame him, for being conviennced he is anything diffrent then he already is. Although I sympatize I hardly enjoy the hitting, screaming, yelling, kicking spitting and anger that has been Directed at me. I feel at a loss. I love my son dearly but at this point in my motherly way.. I want to give him away.. just for a little while. It is acceptable right??
No no i would never.... but as my patinence wears thin and I accept every advice I have recieved.... everyday is a battle. every day I love him more and try to show him........ I feel as if I have betrayed my own son with our new addition... but as all children do he will adjust.
Love is key and staying firm with my ways is also key...... but hey this parenting stuff.. yeah its hard work( as if I didn't know being in my line of work). Ijust hope as time passes this too shall pass, and we can have a day without the word No.
I laugh outloud at this... Never will THAT HAppen. WHen I am done at my job Litle G and Mamma J will have quality time together. which Ilook forward to. I think this will be a help and a relief for G. Children have it pretty rough too.

Little G
Little G and the sore pee pee.
At 12 pm today I am heading down to a walk in clinic to check out what is going on with little man. He is having trouble peeing and says his penis is owie. He is in a great deal of discomfort and I feel helpless as what to do. Daddy is a work and i just don't know what to do. At least with a pee pee!
So I am going to let the professionals check it out. Lets hope it's nothing. Poor thing!
I am so glad it's the weekend. I am begining to swell up like a balloon, Knees ankle and my hands. My hands are most uncomfortable becasue I keep dropping things and when I type it's like my fingers are not attached to my hand! I Will be posting a belly pic this weekend. It is alot bigger than before let me tell you!
Keep checking in !

Hey hey hey goodbye!
This has been the week of goodbyes. My dear friend Ter and my dear friend and co worker TC have left to move on to a bigger life.
Bigger than here that is!
It has been a week of tears and laughter but more memories were made this week to last a life time.
I have had some children leave from my class as well and their stories of how they will remember me will forever stay close in my heart. Children are so thoughtful. On little girl made me a heart and told me that this was her heart to mine so that if I missed her Iwould always have this heart. How touching is that!?
Today I attend TC wedding. I can't wait as the wedding itself is at the dingle( beautiful for those of you who aren't NS readers) and the reception is board the Marr 2 on the halifax waterfront.
Should be an interesting time.
I have some pics to post but will do so tomorow as my long weekend continues.
I am stil working out some designs for this website with out much luck and I want to get that up and running first and foremost.
To Ter and TC I wish you all the best in your endevours and hope that The great North and LA treat you kind and give you some look to the future moments.
Jilly I had so much fun with you and look forward to return to NS!
Love Jenn
