ouch.......

My hip is hurting me tonight. I think I did too much today...lifting mattresses...moving drawers, sweeping and clearing out Lauries room....carrying huge sacks of garbage and clothing and baskets of laundry......and now my hip is yelling at me that I did too much.

I have SPD Symphisis Pubis Dysfunction...actually I have the more severe form of Diastasis Symphisis Pubis......but most people haven't heard of that.....

It's a condition that starts during pregnancy and can sometimes continue afterwards. Luckily I only have real problems if I do too much....or if I do something in a certain position (pushing a shopping cart or pushing a vacuum cleaner etc......that movement causes me problems.....

I normally don't worry about it but I always know that if I walk too far or do too much during the day, I will pay for it come evening!

Tonight is one of those evenings!

I can't be bothered to go out for date night tonight....maybe we will go tomorrow instead......I have started dinner and we will eat at home instead.....new (baby) potatoes, carrots, beans, maybe corn on the cob..... and veggie balls....Susie wants sweet and sour sauce with hers but I think I may make gravy for everyone else...

Fly



even yummier if thats possible!!!! :)

Not as yummy as you Lloyd (of course) but yummy all the same :)

The new Matt :)




Still yummy :) after all these years ;)

Zoom!!

Words don't come easy....to me...... :)

Bardo one step further....



This was the UK's entry into the Eurovision Song Contest the year after Bucks Fizz won........I liked this song and still remember all the words :)

Ask me about the math or science I learned in school and I don't remember a word of it, but ask me all the words to any of the 80's songs and thats EASY :)

special moments.......

Searching for that big happy moment in life, how many special little moments we let pass us by?

Afternoony stuff

Derek just left...he did some more work on the ceilings...filled some holes around the place and did some wiring...he actually electrocuted himself...he had switched the electric off but there must have been some still going through the wires and he got a shock...he was ok though...until he stubbed his toe...yikes...I hope he drives home carefully...obviously not his day!! He's coming back tomorrow.

Sam and Abigail played with the playdough for a while.....Abigail has been dressed as a fairy since 8am this morning.....at that time she even had a flashing tiara on her head!

Susannah and Laurence have cycled to the mail box...first time this year.....Susie asked if they could......school finishes at 2pm on Wednesdays.....

The children came home with bits of string tied around their wrists...they ahve to leave it on for all of Lent!!!! They are complaining that it is itchy...it is supposed to symbolise the fact that Jesus died on the cross for our sins.....I have never heard of the string thing before.......my ex MIL would approve I am sure.........

Susie brought the books home that I ordered.....one of them puzzled me so I checked the order form and as I thought...I had ordered the wrong book DUH!!!! I should have ticked the book above! Oh well.....I am sending another order in tomorrow for some Easter themed books........

I have cinnamon twists baking in the oven and they smell so so nice!

Susannah starts swimming lessons with school in a couple of weeks...she can swim well but she is excited about going swimming anyway...........

Tonight is date night......I'm not sure if we will go out or not though.....we'll see....maybe we will check out the farmers market at the garden centre...or maybe we will go out for dinner....not sure yet....

Spread a bit of butter on your knife!

We have run out of Olivio and so this morning I resorted to using the butter that I buy for baking......toast with real butter...OMG it has been sooooooo long since I've had toast with REAL butter!!! Mmmmmmmmm Sam LOVED it and ate his and then came and stole some of mine! So I made more :)

So not good for you but soooooooooo GOOD!!!

Kathy.....isn't it you that buys real butter for toast as a luxury??? I know someone who does...who loves real butter...

Well I have to say it is sooooo much better than Olivio......

Van Gogh

Last year we studied the life of Dutch artists Van Gogh ....we spent the week of his birthday learning all about him and then creating our own works of art...we also studied sunflowers and planted sunflower seeds...

This March the Muttart Conservatory is having a Dutch Celebration and a Van Gogh Impersonator will be a part of it....I think we will definitely go along!

Sunday, March 25 – Cultural Event

· Musical entertainment, crafts and fun are planned during our Tulip Time event. See the delightful Wooden Shoe Dances and listen to the Harmonica Rascals.

· Children can search for wooden shoes and enter to win a great Dutch prize.

· A local plant expert will speak on Edmonton’s’ tulips--how to grow, where to plant and common questions for gardeners.

· Plus, tulips throughout the Show Pyramid and Temperate Pyramid will be featured including new and unusual varieties from Holland.

· This year celebrates the wonders and art of one of the most famous of the Dutch painters Vincent van Gogh. Watch for a special tribute to this distinctive artist, with our van Gogh impersonator and informative talks.

It's snowing. Again.

Orchids

There is an Orchid show at the weekend in Edmonton...I wonder what the chances are that I can persuade Lloyd to take me.......as well as the Orchid growers competition, there is a sales hall, photography and painting section and talks......

I'd like to go. (hint hint Lloyd!)

I wonder if you can take cameras........

I would LOVE to belong to something like this......a group of women who get together monthly to chat intimately about their lives.....

Oh and Christie a little further up the blogger takes a walk and stumbles across a letterbox! This is something I am DEFINITELY going to do this Spring! I wnated to last year but never did! I am going to hide my letterbox by South Cooking Lake! You and the children can be the first to discover it :)

10 minutes to go.......




Ten minutes before the children had to leave for the school bus, Chris came into my room and whispered that there was a moose in our wood.....so I grabbed my camera and headed up to Susannahs room to take pictures.......by then it had headed through our wood towards the road....so I went to my bedroom window and waited for it to walk up the road...which it did.....and I got these pictures of it walking past our gateway....it was just getting light so the pictures aren't fabulous and I was a long way from the moose in my bedroom lol but it was exciting to see the moose.

The children walked down for the bus and I watched them from the window pretty sure that the moose had walked on and away from where they had to wait.....

The dogs are out now so it won't be coming back this way today.......
