Joining the Panty Parade....
































*sigh* Someone else has decided to join the panty brigade. Sweetie insisted on underwear today... I was hesitant to let her loose with no absorbent material whatsoever but didn't want to discourage her interest either. So we went with it and just tried to stay on top of her all day. She only had one peeing accident, unfortunately, it was on Daddy's lap during story time. And then there was another incident that didn't involve pee, but other than that she did ok. Sarah (formerly known as White Bunny) played an important role in reminding Sweetie when it was time to go. If Murray or I told her she might or not go BUT if Sarah said "it's time to go pee!", she would drop whatever she was doing & say "OK Sarah!" and race to the bathroom & get the job done. Oh the power that rabbit wields!!! If only she was more diligent in her duties as trainer...

Murray's feeling much better today, especially after sleeping in til 10am!! However, my early rising paid off, he felt guilty for lounging in bed all morning and was on the job the rest of the day, playing with the kids, getting their lunch, putting away toys.... I think in the end I got the better end of the deal! I was able to get a bunch of my duties taken care of for our upcoming clothing sale, update my lists, respond to vendors inquiries etc plus catch up on some of my email.

The highlight of the day was talking to an expectant mom of triplets who lives in another part of the province. It was strange to think that 3 years ago, THAT was me, not knowing what to expect and so glad to talk to someone who'd done this and managed to survive!

My grandmother's sister passed away this week so M&D drove Grammie down so she could go to the funeral. They're spending the weekend & then coming back here tomorrow to pick up Jordie. This meant no Friday visit for the girls (and me!) but with all the extra help I'd had earlier in the week it didn't seem too bad as the week went fast (although the last 2 days felt longer, it was only 2 tough days instead of 5!)

Hopefully next week we'll have her back, I need to get cracking on the clothes I've got piled up, waiting to be sorted and priced for the sale. There's only a little over a month left and I'm away for 2 of those weekends and going to an all day crop next Saturday and Murray will be away for his big marathon for a few days in there too.

Training is still underway. He's usually doing about 70 miles a week, but with the bad weather this week he "only" logged 48. What a slacker eh? He's not as psyched about the race as he was last time. Being sponsored by his company seems to have turned it into "work" instead of running for fun. He's feeling the pressure to perform really well so they will feel they got their money's worth and that's taking away from the enjoyment a bit. Once he gets there, he'll get more jazzed though. There's alot of hype in the city that he can feed off of!

Ok when they are ALL properly trained up, then Uncle BBB will come and visit. Already have a Neice ( and now a new nephew) to pee on me.

All the best from sunny ( well it was once the rain stopped) Afghanistan
