Oh how I've missed you!!!!!
Last week I really felt disconnected from myself. Although I really, REALLY like having other people read my blog, I can't deny that it's more of a release from myself. A cheap form of therapy. :)
Anyway, I have to much to chat about. My folks were up for 2 weeks (leaving this morning). We had a really great visit, lots of special times, especially with E. Last week is kind of a blur. I am certified in First Aid, that's exciting, and a relief. Glad to know I can help E in an emergency. Friday night DH & I went to Steve & Rhonda's for a visit (which the grandparents watched E). Poor Rhonda has a rotten cold so we all just vegged and watched movies on their satellite and projector screen (way cool!).
Saturday DH & MIL went shopping and Mom & Dad, E & I went shopping separately. DH got some really nice clothes for his B-day. Mom & I got some stuff from Blessings (religious book store). We all met up at Jungle Jim's with Gemma (DH's cousin) and Aunt Sandy. Gemma's b-day is coming up so we had a nice meal together and sang HB-day. It was fun. Mom, Dad, E & I went home for naps while the rest continued shopping. E was passed her window for a nap and wouldn't go down so we watched a movie. She's feeling rotten because her 4 eye-teeth are coming in. I feel bad for her but it was hard keeping my cool. She was very sooky and would cry if I wasn't holding her. Made for an interesting weekend. Saturday night we watched The Secret (that's a separate blog in itself). It was awesome. Will talk more about it later.
Sunday we went to mass, came home and hung out. E did go for a nap, thank goodness. After we all got up, the guys went to the garage to check out dad's brakes. Mom made a yummy meatloaf while I watched/held E. She finally settled down after dinner. It was a tough day. In the evening, we watched An Inconvenient Truth. It was a eye opener for Mom & Dad. It makes me proud that Canada's contribution to the problem is only 2.3% vs. the U.S. 30.3%!! Still we need to make changes within our own home. I'm going to buy more energy efficient light bulbs.
So that's about all my news. Keep your eyes out for another blog about The Secret.

Drugs, drugs, drugs ;) Give E some and that should help - if you haven't already. Poor things, teething is tough! There is also 'natural' stuff you can get camilia (sp?) that I found helped.
Great that you had such a nice visit with your parents and a great weekend. We really enjoyed heading up there and esp eating your YUMMY dip! I need that recipe!
Interested in the Secret too, can't wait to hear more.
Have a good day!
How come the disconnection do you figure? Company? I sometimes feel like that after a big crowd leaves. Not that I wouldn't have them stay with us, but feel like that at christmas sometimes ....
I can't believe how behind I am on blogs and how out of touch I feel. I've really missed you and hearing about your life. I'm getting back on track today.
Sounds like you really did have a great visit with all the folks and had a really nice time. I'm so glad for you. It is nice to connect with loved ones and hard to do across the distance.
I can't wait to see an Inconv. Truth. It won an Oscar and I've just heard awesome things about it!!!
Can't wait to read about the Secret. Saw about 5 mins of it on Oprah and was bummed that I missed the rest. REally intriguing.
