A little storm in Oakville - a few Snowflakes in St-Jules

Thursday morning seemed so easy just because of the meltdown the morning before !!! The boys were very calm and listened quite well. They went off to school and I stayed with Kennedy. We both showered each our turns and then were ready for our day.

We started by doing our cookies that we wanted to do and had lots of fun. It was one of those already prepared thingies in which you only have to add an egg and butter. So we prepared our dough and refrigerated it for an hour while watching Tv. We then rolled our dough out and made our Snowflake cookies that we decorated with other snowflakes and sparkles :) Kennedy was really happy with the result and thought they were excellent. The boys were happy to eat them too when they came home !

After cleaning up, we had lunch and went to the grocery store to get a few things that were missing. On our way back, Kennedy wanted to do her Ballet dance again so she dressed up while I searched for the song. I filmed her doing her dance and we took a few pictures. She then sat down to do crafts while I did a bit of house cleaning and picking up. At 2, we watched Ellen and I thought " how lucky am I to be spending my days with Kennedy dancing, doing Crafts, baking and listening to Ellen" ! I couldn't believe she liked Ellen. Just as much as I couldn't believe how she knew every lyrics to every Hit songs. I mean... Ok her mom works for SiriusCanada and Kennedy always wants to listen to the Countdown on the Hits1 channel but... She's good ! And fun :)

The two boys each had a game that night in different arenas so I had all their stuff ready as well as dinner for when they got home. nicole was going to be in around 5:45 so they had to be fed and ready. Curtis had to have his shirt and tie on and Dylan his Oakville turtleneck. So I made them Cod fish fillets with potatoes and corn (they love corn) and made sure the boys got dressed up. When Nicole got home, we all hopped in both cars and went each our ways ! I went with Curtis to his game against Burlington and Nicole and Kennedy went to Dylan's game. It was a good night because both boys won their games. And Curtis scored a goal so me and Gail (Nicole's mom who came to his game too) were very excited ! We got home and watched iCarly on Family channel for a while and then went off to bed.

Yesterday (Friday) was definitely not as good !!! With the kids it was fine but the rest my day was pretty dull ! The kids all had school so after walking Kennedy and coming back, I looked up the nearest Desjardins Caisse on internet and set it in the GPS. The closest one was in Mississauga, so about 20 minutes but that was fine because I wanted to shop a bit after and it was right next to Square One Shopping Mall which was really big and had fun stores and boutiques ! So I took off on the highway like a big girl and made it to Mississauga. I made it to the Desjardins building but had to park in an underground parking so once I do so, I had no idea where to go. Nothing was indicated so after walking around for about 10 minutes in the parking, I finally found an elevator. So I went up and saw this security guy that explained where to go. I had to go out and then in to another building beside. So that's where I went. When I had looked it up on internet, it said there was a Atm machine and a counter i could go to but it turns out it was really only an Atm machine and a tiny little office for I don't know what but the guy told me the only way for me to change my cheque was to go downtown Toronto to a Desjardins Service thing.... wow... I was not impressed !

I got out of there and went strait to Square one after trying to find a parking (not underground) for about 15 minutes where I could get GPS and phone reception. I just figured I had to go downtown one day or another so I decided I'd go but then I couldn't find anything in the GPS. So I texted Sara Ann telling her I really needed her right now (I really only wanted her to look it up on internet and call me back but I think I didn't say things the right way) so I scared the crap right out of her ! She didn't answer right away cause she was still in bed so I called my mom. After being on the phone with her for almost an hour, I was still sitting in the parking lot with this huge shopping center saying HI ! COME SHOP ! to me when my mom finally found a few numbers and adresses of Desjardins in Toronto I could call. So I did because I wanted to make sure they could change my cheque. Turns out they couldn't cause they were only offices and stuff like that... I got a text from Sara Ann saying

BUGZY ! I'm trying to call and there's no answer... I'm super worried !!!

I hope je panique pour rien. Call me !

I was on the phone with my mom when she wrote this so I didn't see it right away ! When I hung up I saw it... And another one !!

I was still sleeping ! I tried to call you and I also called Nicole's !

What's up ?? I'm worried Call me ASAP !!

WOUppps ! Didn't wanna freak her out but I guess I did !!! So i texted her my situation and then called her after she mentionned it would be easier to just get an account done with another bank or something. So we talked a while and I reasured her ! Bahahah! So my drive to Mississauga was a fail because it was just worthless. I texted Nicole to tell her I was going to open an account here and to ask her where I should go. She mentionned PC was good and free and they were partners with CIBC. So I went to Loblaws in Oakville to open an account and I knew from then on it would be easier for everyone because Nicole wouldn't have to physically write a cheque every week and she could just set up a tranfer or just do it online and deposit directly in my account. So I was thinking everything was finally going to be ok and I would still have time to shop a little afterwards. It was 12:30 and I only had to go get Kennedy at 3pm so I was fine. At least I thought I was.... As I was finishing my things with the guy from PC, I got a text from Nicole...

Hey Lyne ! Just got a call from Curtis' school and apparently he is not feeling well.

As I was about to answer and say "Ok I'll be there in 15minutes, I'm coming"... She added :

Said he wasn't sure if he had his medicine this morning. Do you remember if he did ?

OH MY GOD ! I almost died... I texted her and told her he didn't ("How stupid am" I thought). I just told the guy "Ok I have to go" but the only thing left was to create my pin so I did it in a hurry and went flying out the door. As I was about to faint in the van she texted again.

No worries ;) (I was relieved when I saw the smily) Would you be able to pick him up within 30 minutes ?

He's in the office and can wait a while.

So I said I was on my way ! And right as I started the van, my phone buzzed with another text !

Ok Lyne, so the school called again and turns out he wants to stay.

There is a medieval presentation and Mr. Coady said he had no problem with him staying

and that he'd keep him close by. So no worries, you don't have to go.

See U later :)

I just sat in the van for about 5 minutes grabbing my head. I suddenly had a huge headache. I couldn't believe I had forgot about it. I knew it wasn't all my fault because he usually takes it on his own but... I still have to check and remind him... And I completely forgot about it. Needless to say I didn't want to do no shopping anymore... Maybe it would of helped but I just wanted to go home. I didn't really have any cleaning to do but I still did some just to take my mind of things and calm down. And at 2, I watched Ellen and felt much better ! At 3, I walked over to get Kennedy and when we got home, I prepared snacks and Dylan's hockey stuff because he had practice at 5 and we all had to hop in the van as soon as the boys would get home. Nicole was only going to be home later. When Curtis came in the door I asked him how his day went and he said not too bad. He said the afternoon was much better and that their presentation was awesome. I was relieved ! Dylan had a sandwich and we left for the arena.

When we pulled in to the parking lot, Nicole texted me

How's everyone doing ? Is C boucing off the walls ? :P

He was actually pretty calm and fine ! His medication usually wears off by that time anyways so it was ok. She said she'd be home around 6:30 so she'd make pizza ! When we came home, the Jackmans were there and had supper with us ! It was pretty fun. We had a glass of wine and when they left, Nicole and I were both played out. She put the kids to bed, we talked a bit and she said not to worry about what had happened today... Her and Tania (the last nanny) had already forgotten more than once... So I went to bed thinking my day seemed worst than it actually was. And I had a thought of my whole week and figured it was a pretty good one overall ! But I was still glad it was the weekend !

This morning I got up around 9, just before they all walked out the door for Dylan and Kennedy's hockey practices. I talked to Jean-François, showered, had lunch and wrote on my blog :) They came back around 12:30 and had lunch. And now they are about to go to Dylan's hockey game so I think I will hop on since I never saw him playing a game yet ! And I have nothing else to do !

It's snowing down home and I kind of wish I could be there but... I am still happy to be here :)
