Well I can’t say it got here quick enough but its finally August!

We move in 15 sleeps, my husband will be home in 14 sleeps! Let’s get a move on this! I’m ready to go!

I still have a bit of packing left to do! Not much but there’s a bit. I’m still working on a mountian of laundry that needs to be finished and packed. I’m ready to make this and start our lives fresh in the big city! Let’s gooo….

I was going to let my hosting expire but I decided to pay it at least keep it going another month! I think come September or October I will buy a new domain and start fresh. We’ll see though.

An idiot I know in real life knows this site address, and I know he’s creeping my life so… Hiiiii! :P

Anyways, welcome August! August 16th can’t come soon enough!

Well just so everyone knows I am alive! I don’t have the internet anymore… My mouse broke so I figured I might as well cut my internet off and have 1 less bill…

Well I guess now is a good of time as any to announce… We are moving. We are moving to the big city of Toronto! August 16th is the big day! I cannot wait.

I am blogging from my blackberry right now, they have a wordpress app…. Did you know that? I sure didn’t. Anyways, now that I have discovered this I can blog again via my BB until we are settled and with internet again in Toronto!

I can’t wait to blog about moving, and the experience of going from a small city with a population of 118, 000 people to a city with a population of 2 million plus! Its insane…

Hope I haven’t lost too many readers, I have a lot to blog about and share… I will be back tomorrow with a much better update! For now its off to bed I go!

Things have been pretty stressful to say the least. I’ve lost so much weight from stress and not eating right. Obviously I’m not bothered by it, but my body is. It’s not liking my crappy eating habits at the moment. I got on the scales and I’ve lost over 20lbs in the last month. HOLY MOLY! That’s a lot… I’ve complained a lot about losing the rest of my baby weight, but this wasn’t how I wanted to do it. Oh well. Now it’s time to start eating right again, and hopefully keep the pounds off!

We might be making a HUGE change soon. Well, we will be. It’s just a matter of time… When I find out I will for sure to post. Until then, you must wait and wonder ;)

There’s been a gross heat wave going on. I do not like. Yesterday I got a nasty burn on my shoulders and my back. It hurts.. :/ I of course put sun screen on the kids but NEVER remember myself. Guess I’ll learn.. and if not, I shall suffer.

Waiting to hear some good news this morning. Keep your fingers crossed. Soon as I find out I will post… eeee, I hate waiting to find out ANYTHING. I’m so impatient!

I feel like I’ve been missing a lot. I haven’t had a lot of time to be online lately, if you read my protected post under this you?ll know why. It’s been something else that’s for sure. But I am okay, the kids are okay and that’s all that matters.

Chase went to the vet’s on Tuesday. He got his splint removed. He also had an xray. He now has a Tensor on his leg with a little piece of foam holding it straight to just get it to where it needs to be - which will be 2 weeks from this past Tuesday at which time he will go back to the vets and have it taken off. Woohoo. He’s so ready for it to be off, poor guy. He is walking around in my backyard right now with a bread bag on his leg being held on by a elastic so it doesn’t get it wet LOL! It’ a sight!

Jordan has been involved in track and field for the last little while. Yesterday was the school’s big track meet. I was going to take the kids after my doctors appointment but it was overcast all day and was spitting here and there so I didn’t think they would have been doing it, today was the rain date. But they did it and Jordan got six ribbons! He got 1 for participation, 1 for 1ST PLACE! 2 for 2nd place, 1 for 3rd place and 1 for 4th! WAY TO GO Jordan Mommy is sooo proud of you! :)

I went to the doctors yesterday. I do have strep throat, again. I’ve had it over 2 weeks and was just able to get into the doctors. Hopefully the medicine I’m on will now get rid of it for a while… it’s not fun at all. Ugh.

I promise I’ll be better will blogging, a lot has been going on but I will make time! I will make time to comment more too, and have more giveaways RIGHT AROUND THE CORNER!!!!! Keep checking for those.. so exciting!

Right now I’m going to go check out ebay for some books. I need to read more and I can never find anything good in book stores with 4 kids attached to my side so ebay it is!

I totally forgot to blog about it! We had our tattoo appointment on May 26th to get matching tattoos and for my hubby to get his Chinese Character tattoo finished.. Well the 24th we got a call asking if we could come in earlier on the 26th because they double booked us. We couldn’t because of my hubby’s work schedule so we postponed it until last night. We were going to get matching Chinese symbols for “Strength” but I want to get that on my own as it has a lot of meaning to me, so we decided to get the tattoos above. Its a mix of Devil: horns, tail and Angel: halo, wings (him: devil, me: angel) If you know us, you know why. Then I have his initial P and he has mine J. Cute right? You can enlarge the photos by clicking on them! We both got them on our wrists.. Mine is on my left as the one I got 3 weeks ago is on my right, and his is on his right! Love them!

Jordan stayed home from school today. He wasn’t feeling well last night, so I stopped before getting our tattoos and got him some medicine and today hes still got a runny nose and he says his throat feels a bit better. Jayden was also not feeling well and he kept us up from about 330a. At about 4a after my hubby had been trying to settle him down I took him. He wouldn’t lay down though, so we had to make it work in my bed so he could sit, I could pat his back and he could lay his head on me. Finally at 5a we gave him some baby Advil and I got him to sleep in that position then slowly moved him beside me where he slept on his side until 8a. He’s still not feeling well. He’s rather cranky which is VERY out of the norm for Jayden.. it makes me sad :( Hopefully he will feel better soon.

Chase goes to the vet tonight. His appointment is at 430p… They taking his splint off, doing x-rays then we figure it all out from there. I keep getting told dogs heal much quicker than humans, I’m just not sure if he’d be to the point of having no splint on yet. He runs on it, he jumps on it, he hasn’t made a yelp or a scream since 3 days after getting it… We will see, I will for sure keep everyone updated!

Well, thats it for now. My hubby took the day off today in case Jayden or Jordan had to go see the doctor.. but I think they will be okay, so we’ll just enjoy the day being lazy and getting everyone some good rest! Enjoy your Thursday everyone!

Long time no blog! One thing about me I’m trying to change is the fact I can go a full week with blogging once a day, sometimes even twice but then all of a sudden I stop for days. I want to blog more, and I want to interact more with everyone that comes here. I’m also really bored with this theme already so I’m going to start working on a change soon.

Chase is doing really well. He does yelp, and scream at least twice a day because of trying to jump up on someone, or one of the kids accidentally bumps or bangs his leg. That is still really heartbreaking to hear. His screams and yelps are very loud and it takes at least 5 to 10 minutes to calm him down. I have been keeping a very strict eye on him though so hopefully I can stop anymore little hurts on my poor pup. When my hubby took him to our vet’s the day after all this happened it was a $20 visit, thank goodness. They just checked his x-rays and talked to my hubby about options. Continue splinting, Casting or Surgery. For now he chose the splint. We will see how it goes, and he goes back on June 3rd so we’ll see how well its gone and figure it all out from there. I can’t wait to get my bouncing puppy back!

Finally our weather has been beautiful like it should be. I sent my hubby out yesterday to pick up the kids some pools. The 3 older kiddos got just a normal little pool, and Jayden got his very own little baby pool. I figured since the older ones splash and get very wild in the pool it would be best to get Jayden his own. Good thing I suggested it because he just loves his little baby pool. Of course I made sure to take photos.. I’m a little irritated that the complex we live in changes the “Rules” whenever they feel like it and don’t even notify us, I had to hear from neighbors that we aren’t allowed more than a little children’s waiting pool now. I would have liked to have gotten a pool the whole family could enjoy. Not as big as the one we had 2 summers ago, it took up our whole backyard… and while that was nice, I wouldn’t have gotten that big again. But something we could all enjoy would be great. But instead we are stuck with these little kid pools. Oh well, that just means more trips to the recreation places for us to go swimming and have more fun away from home. We haven’t done that in a long time so it would be a nice family adventure. We’ve been going for walks, to the park and all that fun stuff for our family outings but it would be a lot of fun to get the kids out swimming or even to one of the 3 splash pad’s we’ve got in our City now! This summer is going to be a lot of fun and I can’t wait to share it with you all, my readers! I’m also going to be doing a new giveaway very, very soon so be on the look out for that!

Hope everyone has a great Tuesday!

Well I hope everyone had a good weekend. I know I did!

Yesterday morning I went with my neighbor and friend’s mom to the Casino! We originally planned to go to Bingo but at the last minute decided on the Casino. It was my first time going and I wasn’t sure what to expect but I had a blast. The slot machines are so much fun! I only took $35 because it was what I was taking to Bingo… and I came home with $25. Within 5 minutes of us being there she won $50…. and right before we left she won $80. I’m jealous of her luck, but it was so much fun. Next time I’m going to be taking more money lol.. Its way too much fun, and although it can really be addictive thank goodness I don’t drive and its like 30 minutes out of our city! I hope to go once a month or every few months just to have some time to myself. My hubby goes to his meetings, so I’d like to do something too.. but in moderation. Losing money isn’t something I want to do weekly! :)

After the casino I came home and had a great day with the family outside. Jayden napped for a bit so we brought the monitor outside with us and hung out on the lawn. The kids wrote on the driveway with some chalk, they were running around and having a blast. The weather is incredible and will be this whole week. I’m glad, but in a way I hope for rain or something so I can get the things I need to get done inside done.. the nice weather hinders me from doing what I need to do because I always want to enjoy it and take my kids out to enjoy it.

Today we were suppose to be heading up to Jordan’s school at 330p when school let out for a meeting with his teacher. But she litterally just called me 10 minutes ago to tell me we’d have to switch it for Wednesday as she had to leave right after school today. UGH. I was a little upset because my hubby is getting off work early for it, and the kids Jordan rides his bike to school with know they don’t have to meet him as his class after school because we were going to go up there and get him. So, instead we are just going to walk up and pick him up.. we’ll let the girls ride their bikes and that way we still get in a family walk!

That will be fun… Well, I just put the kids down for a nap so they won’t be grumpy for our walk or be too tired… so I should get my butt in gear and start some more laundry, and I need to dust/wash all the glass in this house! Hope everyone is having a great Monday.. I’m still feeling like crap, this cold doesn’t seem to be getting any better.. so, perhaps you all are having a much better day than I am!

I am sick still. It’s awful. I can’t even breathe out of my nose, and my throat is rather scratchy and I sound like I could lose my voice at any minute. This is not fun.

This morning we had to walk over to my mother in law’s to visit with her and my hubbys Grandma before they drove her back to Toronto. It was a good visit we stayed about an hour and a half. The girls and Jordan rode their bikes, and I pushed Jayden in his stroller there and my hubs pushed him on the way back. It was a great walk, we need to do family walks more often. I love them!

After dinner tonight I decided to make some banana chip muffins. I searched and found so many recipes and got a general idea for recipes, the one I really liked used plain yogurt.. I switched it for unsweetened apple sauce and shockingly they turned out amazing. I didn’t have muffin cups, so I just greased the tin and they don’t look as good as they taste but, YUM. I’m so glad I made them! I will post my recipe tomorrow!

Well, I want to run and have a nice bath. My tattoo is healing nicely but its rather sore so I won’t be able to have it in the water too long but I am frozen so I’m going to have one anyways. Before I go though, a friend of mine posted this video on her facebook and I just had to share it. How beautiful, sweet and cute is this? Not to mention the message it sends, and the message they say at the end of the video..

Great message. Now if only everyone would listen, and perhaps change their views/opinions and be a little open.. the world would be a much better place.

If you need some diet pill reviews which I strongly suggest to anyone in the market for diet pills please, please always do your research and read about anything you are going to take!

Have a great Saturday everyone!

Well today started off on the wrong foot. I don’t understand why people feel the need to be ignorant and inconsiderate. Really, I don’t think it’s that hard to be a civilized human being.. am I wrong? I’d like to rewind and go back to the weekend please… I’m over this day.

Anyways, My Mother’s day was good. I pretty much had a full Mother’s day weekend. It was good. Saturday morning I woke up to french toast and sausages in bed! My hubby had let me sleep in, and he brought me breakfast in bed. How sweet. We all just hung out and I had to take Jordan out to get him new indoor shoes for school - again - even though I just did what? a month ago.. That kid’s feet grow like crazy. I came home and had an awful migraine so I just laid around on the couch being lazy. My hubby was home so he just picked up and watched the kiddos while I rested. Sunday, I woke up again later than usual… I came downstairs and get handed 2 cards and a box of Chocolates! I was surprised as I wasn’t expecting anything because my tattoo is suppose to be my Mother’s Day gift! Jordan had written in my card from the kids it was adorable, and my card from my hubby was beautiful. We hung out all day, Hubby had a roast in the slow cooker which we had last night for dinner.. I made some jello and Chocolate chip cookies.. It was a great weekend!

Jordan made me this beautiful photo. It’s laminated and has his hand prints as flowers. I totally cried when he gave it to me Friday after school. At the top it says: “#1 Mom, Happy Mother’s day! Love Jordan” and on the bottom it says: “I might be a handful sometimes but know that I love you and appreciate everything you do for me!” I’m very sentimental and these types of things really touch my heart. My kids mean the world to me and I really don’t need a day like “Mother’s Day” to appreciate being a mother and having my children, because I do everyday. I’m so thankful they are in my life, and I created them (with help obviously!) I am so full of love for these 4 little human beings, I can’t even begin to describe!

Jordan also made me this little video, it’s a poem he wrote really quickly because he wanted me to have a video of him up on my site too… Aw:

He’s just too cute for words! I really have great kids. I know everyone says that about their kids but, I really do. At least I think so, and that’s all that matters:)

Not much bothers me when it comes to the internet. I will admit I’m very hesitant about putting my children’s photos on here untagged, but other than that not much else gets to me. Until today when I decided to check my “Statpress” and I checked out what people are searching to get to my website, and search terms for my website and when I saw “whois amommysramblings.com” I was rather irritated. Sure, it comes with putting it all out there on the internet but seriously..? What are you looking for? Today isn’t the first time this search term has been searched either.. What do you want that isn’t on here? If it isn’t written on here, then take the hint… PRIVACY PLEASE.

Did you think I wouldn’t spend the extra $6 a year to get private whois? What are you trying to find.. my address, phone number?? and why? Why not leave a comment or shoot me an e-mail if you have a question or comment instead of 3 different times within 30 minutes searching “whois amommysramblings.com” . . . Unless you are trying to be a stalker in which case, have fun. I don’t put up with any of that crap.

This is a website for me to just vent, write about my day, share things with other parents, etc. If you really need to find out my private information I feel sorry for you. Online creepers are the worst. Here’s what you should do creepers: Turn off your computer, open your front door, go outside for a walk! There’s a whole world out there away from your computer.

Now with that said, How was everyone’s weekend? It was pretty great here. Yesterday was calling for rain but it didn’t rain until the wee hours of the morning this morning. So yesterday we spent the majority of the day outside, in our backyard. The kids just love it and I love sitting there stress free without worrying about chasing them around because our backyard is fully fenced in, with a pretty high wood privacy fence with a lock. I much rather have them out there instead of out front because people sitting in cars, blasting music or not watching their kids all over the place really gets to me. Backyard it is.

Jordan had a great time at his friend’s Birthday party. I’m glad, I knew he would because its a Party plus hello! It was at Chuck E Cheese. What kid doesn’t love a little bit of Chuck E??

Before I end this… I might need a lawyer soon for online creeper, but are you in need of some Mesothelioma lawyers? What a crap thing Mesothelioma is. Hopefully if you are in need of one, things go well for you.

Anyways, I’m working on another giveaway coming up. I am also doing the draw for my random comment giveaway soon.. Get commenting people for your chance to win! I’m loving that everyone is enjoying my giveaways, I love doing them just as much as you all love winning them! Have a fantastic Monday everybody!
