Thursday! And tomorrow is a Pro-D day, so no school. I received a new memoir project notification last night, so I want to get onto that. I’m aiming to finish this one early (hopefully by Monday), but I seem to have a baby barnacle attached to my hip today. Fevers are down, but there are lingering coughs, sneezes, fleeing noses, etc. to be dealt with.

I’m tired. Not zombie-tired like yesterday, but pretty plumb pooped out. The energy train has slowed to a snail’s pace, but I’d like to at least keep it moving in the right direction. Forward glide…

The link is to a youtube commercial for the first version. We have the second and the graphics are even more peculiar (by a Belgian husband and wife team going by Eugene and Louise).

There are a couple of different ways you can play, and it’s good for all ages (Isak beat me with his keen kid eye, even though the knight in tighty whities had him giggling so hard it worried me). Hmn, I wonder if you can combine the two versions…

I’m really enjoying this goal, by the by. 15 months ago

Pictureka! is sort of like Where’s Waldo on LSD… you have 9 large, square, double sided panels covered in a mishmash of surreal pictures. Depending on what round you’re on, you flip a colored card over and try to find the picture on one of the panels… sometimes you roll the dice to see how many of an object (or type of thing) you need to find, sometimes you switch/flip a square, sometimes it’s timed, sometimes it’s a race…

We had our first game last night – it was fun and funny (we were laughing out loud), and rounds out the collection nicely. Thumbs up. 15 months ago

Thank-you, I really needed to hear that, it’s been a rather rough week. I’m glad the love shines through brightly – it’s very good to see it through other eyes, gave me sweet pause.

And thank you for your generous cheers, and gorgeously relentless images and words. Your sparkles, brightness, and hopeful voice (even when struggles rear their head) flicks glitter across even the grayest of days. Cheers to you!!

I hope you’re having a spectacular Wednesday, sitruunapuu!
^{I hope your fever has buggered off too. Or at least made for some fantastic dreams.}15 months ago

Around 2AM Iris started whimpering, and when we checked her she was burning up with a fever of 104+, miserable and glazed. We gave her some baby Tylenol and I rang the nurse line while M. started sponging her off with cool cloths and running a tepid bath. The nurse I spoke with was excellent, but it was a real toss up between waiting to see if we could get the fever down or rushing to emerg. in the middle of the night.

We decided to call our regular pediatrician’s service, which has a random doctor phone back, we just weren’t expecting them to take so long. We would have driven her to Children’s, but fortunately she responded to the Tylenol quickly, and the fever dropped even more (to 101) after floating her in the tub for about half an hour.

She seemed back with us mentally, playing (albeit weakly) a bit in the tub and giving the odd tired smile, and fortunately seemed thirsty, so had a good feed and fell asleep around 4:30. M. went back to bed to get a couple of Z’s before work and I sat up with her, turning a little damp cloth on her head and patting her when she got restless.

The doctor didn’t call until after 5AM, which I was a little annoyed by. He was an odd duck; seemed to have trouble listening to what I was saying (Ie. her behaviour, the fact that it was an under arm temp., Isak being sick earlier in the week, etc.) and he was babbling quickly, almost speedy. I think he was probably just one of those hyper smarty-pants doctors with a lack of social skills, but it was frustrating, particularly the interruptions when I was trying to share important information.

He did say that we’d done all the right things and that it sounded like it was something viral and under control, but if the fever continues we should take her in to be checked out. This morning (I say that like there was a sleep bridge, which isn’t so) I gave her another dose of Tylenol and got Isak off to school. Iris has been thirsty (a good thing) and is sleeping again, which seems like an excellent idea. Again, I’m hopeful this thing doesn’t drag me down too, but my defenses have probably burned down pretty low.

This is turning into more of a journal entry than a list of things to do… I don’t think I can do too much today. Rest when my Nightingale skills aren’t required? That sounds good. I wish I had some plush microbes to pummel.

Yesterday was the first time I’d been to an ice rink in decades, and Isak’s first time ever. The grade 1’s at his school all went, and I volunteered to go with them. I couldn’t believe they still have the same newbie skater bars as they did when I was a kid! I have vivid memories of flying around smashing into each other with those. There were lots of other first timers, a handful of kids who have had piles of lessons, and everything in between.

Watching Isak get out there I was reminded a bit of Bambie, but he’d built up his confidence a lot by the time we left, all smiles and apple cheeks. Everyone had an incredible time, I grabbed a schedule, and we’re planning to go back soon. It’s in walking distance from our house, and would work well on stir-crazy rainy days. 15 months ago

After a long night up with Iris slipping into whatever Isak came down with, I feel like my body is fighting it off too. I can count the hours of sleep on my thumbs, but this morning went surprisingly smoothly. I think yesterday’s talk was very productive for everyone. I also think if I can take good care of myself for the next few days I may be able to avoid going down for the count.

^{Note to self: Invent sneeze guards for babies.}

Heavy rain out today, rivers in the streets. I had extra appreciation for brightly colored umbrellas coming home to a cup of hot tea and a wee goodie from the bakery box. I also got to meet a school-friend’s preemie daughter who finally got to leave the hospital and is beauty in a small, sweet nutshell. Grateful for life, which is in chalk, not stone. Tired, but strangely refreshed, and glad it’s a short week.

^{PS – Thanks for all the cheers yesterday… it made me feel better about the fertilizer the morning laid down.}15 months ago

Today didn’t start off terribly well. While still groggy and prior to the benefits of morning coffee and sustenance, I was faced with fussy, whiny, belligerent behaviour that escalated into a full on tantrum with backup crying from #2. Patience eventually waned, I reacted badly (loudly), and am feeling like I bought a ticket on the crappy mommy train.

Calm heads and warm hugs prevailed before leaving for school, but I want to offer my own apology (I own my buttons) and have a good talk about bad behavior and reasonable repercussions. I know 6 can be a difficult age for kids, and we’ve had some huge changes in the last year – I want to do everything in my power to keep things running smoothly (and acknowledge that mommies aren’t perfect and can have bad behaviour too).

Now, rather than let the whole day sour, I’m going to shake off the morning and try to brighten the rest of the day. I’d volunteered for the ice skating field trip this afternoon, which should be really fun – I haven’t been in years, and this will be Isak’s first time. Although he missed a day and a half of school when he was sick, we made up schoolwork at home (Star Wars math and Alphabet Detective), which he did beautifully, so there’s a new game to be opened, something to look forward to. D e e p – b r e a t h.

• A Holiday dress for Iris! She looks very festive… I’m glad it fits! She enjoyed feeding herself cheerios for the first time.

• Isak got his long awaited freebie Honeycomb T-shirt in the mail.

• M. was home from work early with treats! Apple cinnamon tea, chocolates, and a nice bottle of wine. We lad a lovely, laid back evening.

• Salted caramels in the bath. 15 months ago

^{December 22}

• Mom is finally feeling better – it’s been a very tough stretch for everyone.

• Shopping at Lush, being dazzled by glittery gold citrus bath glory.

• Isak’s amazing Lego theater, complete with a flashing light brick behind the audience.

• A Very Long Walk until the sun went down. Coming home for ginger tea and Lebkuchen Allerlei.

• Watching an excellent documentary on Francesca Woodman (whose photos I’ve admired for ages) and her family, The Woodmans. 15 months ago

I’m surprised – I’m in Canada too, and we’ve been picking up the box sets at the library (hoping to grab the final ones tomorrow!). I love our library here, fantastic selection, it’s surprised me.

I’ve never actually tried Netflix… though I think it would be as easy as pushing a button, there’s even a free trial via the Wii. Do you like it? 15 months ago

^{December 19}

• Isak’s sparkly king collage on the fridge door.

• Temporary tattoo bassassery. I, too, have a jedi on my chest.

• Finding the boxes of decorations.

• Mailing my cards! I got some lovely comments on them from the postal clerk.

^{December 20}

• Getting our wee tree up, decorated, and lit with mini bright blue lights.

• Ordering some very, very cool items from ThinkGeek. I never order things online, and it’s really so simple to find something ideal and click. Much easier then bundling kids up and braving stores full of stressed people in last-minute shopping land. (Note to self for 2012…)

• Continuous Boggle games and lots of laughter.

^{December 21}

• Personal restoration time soaking with tantra bath salts.

• A long walk that started with flying toy airplanes and finished with a sunset like melted clementines.

• A wonderful visit from a couple of our oldest and most favorite out of town friends. It had been far too long. Catch-up, good news, cocktails and truffles, hugs. 15 months ago

Yesterday I picked Isak up from school halfway through the day because he was feeling unwell, and this morning he was burning up with a fever. After some Tylenol and a tepid bath it started to drop, but we’re having a gentle, at home pajama day.

We curled up on the couch, had peppermint tea, and watched Clash of the Titans (the old one I’m sure I watched when I was home sick, decades ago). Hopefully he’ll be feeling back to normal tomorrow.

I’m very glad it’s Friday, M. needs a weekend, it’s been a rough week. We need to restore health, energy, and equilibrium. I wish refreshing and enjoyably productive weekends to everyone!

Done! 643,404 steps, 190 miles, and almost exactly a year later. I finished the game off today, building the final 6 boutiques and a couple of cars. I have to agree with HeadBees that a dramatic woot of some sort for finishing the whole island would have been nice, but so is seeing the old BMI descend.

Now I’m not sure if I want to continue walking the complete island (you can still search out daily rainbow spheres, switch to TV while walking, and record your stats), or start all over again with a new Mii. Either way, my final 2 miles today were very satisfying. This game was definitely worth picking up. I would love it if they came out with a new one… a world wander would be fun, get enough steps and purchase a trip to another country?

Hmmmmmn, now I need a new Wii exercise goal… 15 months ago

^{“Hello again. Can you see through a wall? Can you see through human skin? X-rays see through solid, or so-called solid objects. There are things in life that exist, and yet our eyes cannot see them. Have you ever seen something startling that others cannot see? Why are some things kept from our vision? Is life a puzzle? I am filled with questions. Sometimes my questions are answered. In my heart, I can tell if the answer is correct. I am my own judge. In a dream, are all the characters really you? Different aspects of you? Do answers come in dreams? One more thing: I grew up in the woods. I understand many things because of the woods. Trees standing together, growing alongside one another, providing so much. I chew pitch gum. On the outside, let’s say of the ponderosa pine, sometimes pitch oozes out. Runny pitch is no good to chew. Hard, brittle pitch is no good. But in between there exists a firm, slightly crusted pitch with such a flavor. This is the pitch I chew.”}

After a bit of a hiatus I find myself with a rainy day, a vat of mocha, a sleeping baby, a squishy couch, and the remote. Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh good. Good like firm pitch and cherry pie. 15 months ago

This morning I hit the storm under a bright red umbrella. I’m still drying off, and still in need of a not too strenuous day. My mood is up, but my body feels tired and achy. Iris is sleeping sweetly, so I’m whipping up a bowl-sized mocha then grabbing the remote and a cozy blanket.

Having a few days of sun last week is really causing me to look forward to spring – I’ve had my fill of the cold, moist, decomposing brown and gray days of winter. If we’re not going to have more white, delicate, sparkly days of sleds and icicles, then please, please, let’s get on with crocuses and cherry blossoms and fresh inspiration.

Too much to ask in the middle of February? I’d settle for more chilled gold sunbeams…

The most recent project I’ve been working hard on has been finished, sent (in the wee hours), and received, so I’m taking a day to relax and enjoy without piling on too much extra – I have plenty of catching up to do without stressing the camel’s back.

This is Isak’s midway point in the week, we’ve had all good work days so far – aiming for a new game! I’m just about to press some hot coffee and warm up some banana bread, hoping there’s a nap in the not too distant future.

Sometimes I like under-the-gun focus, but it sure feels great when you’ve done a job and can let it go. I feel a lovely lightness and look forward to the evening.

After a long night I woke to find Turkish delights on my keyboard… a cheery way to start Valentine’s Day. Last night the cards for the kids at school took quite a bit longer than I expected, but they were very cute, and Isak was excited about giving them out today.

It’s a rainy, rainy day… I have quite a bit of work to do (I made it until 4AM last night and then ceased to understand human language and decided it was time for bed)—hoping to finish and then have a nice evening with the ones I love…

Until yesterday, I had never seen snowy owls in the wild, but had heard (through my avid birder parents) that there was a group of them out in Ladner. Isak had spent the night with them (my parents, not the owls), so instead of picking him up at their house, we all met up at the area that they’d been seen.

It was slightly rainy as we headed along the path by the water, a place I remember going for a long walk with M. in the past. Isak was the first to see ones, excited when they turned their heads to look at him. We ended up spotting nearly two dozen! They didn’t seem perturbed by us at all either, which is nice. They’re beautiful, and big – the wingspan can reach 5 ½ feet! I’m glad I don’t need to survive on 1,600 lemmings annually.

It was definitely worth the trip out to see them.

And Bam! The end of the weekend lands with the realization that I fell asleep last night when I probably should have pushed for an all-nighter, I was just exhausted from a very busy couple of days. Today will be filled with the striking of keys and other people’s stories – I’m working on a particularly interesting memoir, I wish I could share details, but alas…

The weekend was filled with many good things, and an underlying momentum that kept us busily moving forward, ticking things off our weekend list left and right. Isak had a wonderful sleep-over with his grandparents, we enjoyed a grown-up dinner out Saturday, and a very smooth early bedtime last night.

This morning has started fresh and early. I’m feeling energetic, and will now, without further linguistic procrastination, fling myself upon my list for the day.

I feel as though I’m keeping a pretty good balance with this one. I’m still keeping on top of a first things first list on weekdays, which I try to keep well stocked with things both playful and productive.

This month I’m making an extra effort to streamline the productive focus; push myself a little further than usual and then let go and have fun when it’s play-time, relax without unfinished list guilt. 15 months ago

But it really took that long. It was a neighborhood drop-in clinic on a busy morning, and it turned out I had to wait to see the pediatrician and the regular doc separately, with wait time for each. I would have left if she’d melted down after her visit, but she was chirpy, so I stayed for mine. Next time… appointments with my regular doc (who was away with hip surgery).

(Hoping the recent whooping cough outbreak near here doesn’t come closer, we’ll be back getting more shots.) 15 months ago

^{I swear I will catch up eventually. I swear…}

^{December 13}

• Hitting the local bakery for some fresh chocolate chip banana bread. I got the very last loaf!

• A slice of the above with coffee crisp cocoa. It was a decadent day.

• Yesterday’s shot drained me somewhat, it was nice to be able to let go of some things that can wait and relax with a book.

^{December 14}

• A bright, bright morning.

• A new fleece lined baby cozy that makes for happier walks.

• A sparkly party invitation that left pink iridescent glitter here and there.

• Isak’s love of math.

^{December 15}

• Good healing thoughts for a dear friend having hope filled surgery.

• M. cleaned out the entire mail rack, so that knocks a pile of clutter off my list.

• Putting on some energetic music and doing a house-tidy dance.

• Making a card for the teacher.

^{December 16}

• The morning pajama party with firemen and pancakes.

• Our Big Night Out that we’d been looking forward to for months might have ended when my parents got food poisoning and couldn’t babysit at the last minute, but a dear friend saved the day with a last minute Friday night kid-care offer. She totally saved the day. I have some amazingly generous friends.

• Dressing up and getting out to a fancy grown-up dinner at a lovely restaurant, complements of the poohbahs at M’s work. Hours of fine wine and conversation, a sumptuous leisurely dinner, and we even made it through the tiramisu and cappuccino before we got the expected home heading call. It was indescribably nice to make it, particularly after we thought we’d have to cancel.

• We came home to find the kitchen decorated with festive red and green pipe cleaner chains and happy kids. A really wonderful night. 15 months ago

And this week’s new game (not being strict about boardlessness) is… Scrabble Slam!

Lay down a 4 letter word, divvy up the rest of the deck of letters, then see how fast you can slam down letters in one of the 4 spots to create a new word. Pretty fun… good for quick thinking, practicing spelling, learning new words – fast paced and fun but after several games we decided to switch to Blokus. 15 months ago

Away we go towards a busy weekend. Work, swimming lessons, banking, library action, recycling depot, garage purge, house cleaning, general catch-up, more entry headway, and tomorrow my folks are coming over tomorrow to babysit (an early Valentine’s date) and then take Isak for an overnight with them, there are a lot of things to squeeze in.

Fortunately I was up relatively early again today and seem to have caught some spare air…
