A bumpy day

With kids, every days have their moments

Some sweet, some not so sweet. but it is ok, you can start all over again the next day. every days seem to look alike and melt into one an other. you'd think i'd remember exactly the day she cut her first tooth, or said mama. it's a great moment and it cheers my heart and make me greatfull for having 2 beautiful kids. but i don't quite remember when it happens. everything seem to happen so fast and i'm constantly in a state of sleep deprivation that make it hard to remember. that's one reason i try to take a lot of pictures and sometime little videos too. Here's my most recent one.

now a bit of venting. yesterday my mom tell me that she has to go see her brother to try to get a dent out of the corner of her bumper. it happened in the church parkinglot while she was in church. no one bothered to come forward and she has a $500 insurance deductible before the insurance pay for any dammage. so last night i was reminescing of the good old days when we used to have cromed metal pumpers. it was the real thing, you bump into an other bumper, no big deal, very little chance it will be visible. nowdays, you only look at a bumper cover and it get dammaged, what the use of bumpers? especialy that often time they have to be replaced and they are not cheap.

i guess i'm gonna find out the price of one very soon myself because comming out of my parking spot at the bulkbarn, i reared on a nice new black honda and made some nice horizontal scratches on its bumper. ironicaly, we were just arguing about our difficulty paying our bills and falling behind. so i had to make it worst by being responsible for an accident. Didn't help that both kids were hungry and fussy. but no less, i decided to find the owner and tell him the bad news. so i started with the pot and pan store and it didn't take 2 minutes to find the man who owned the honda. i'm very greatfull that he remained calm and was a kind type. we exchanged name and phone numbers and he said he'd get an estimate and call me back. i also gave him my insurance policy number but he seem to want to save me money and try to get it fixed without going through the insurances. he think it might cost around $125, i hope he's right. He was also kind enough to let me know he was going out of town for a few days so i wouldn't agonize by the phone endlessly. I already feel bad enough :/

am i the only one who can't run away from a parkinglot dent? i mean, my mom got hit at church, you'd figure it should be an honest person? and the time before that, she got sideswiped when she was parked in front of my house, we suspect a neibor, but that's just a suspicion, we didnt' go check their vehicule to see if they had a matching scratch pattern so we're not gonna dwell over it.

since i can't go back in time and undo my mistake, and there's no sense brewing those depressing anxiety causing thoughts over and over, i will try not to think about it too much untill i get more information about it. after all, it could've been much worst.

so a bit of heart warming stuff.... just before we left the house, DD was in her snow suite at the top of the staires, waiting to be loaded in the van and Owen was at the bottom of the staires, with his jacket and boots on when he decided to escalate the staires with a mentra. Ti Soeur (lil sister). he get to her, say hug, gives her a hug, say kisses, and gives her kisses, then say "j't'aime fort fort fort!" that was so cute! i tell hubby that Owen never said that to me like that. " j'taime fort fort fort". and Owen proceed to do an encore for his little sister hehe.

yesterday, he went to his bed on his own for his nap and bedtime. we used to struggle with him and now, even when he doesn't quite go on his own, he still goes with ease. wich is quite a change and a nice one at that. he's also getting good at putting his toys away, with a bit of help. but it's nice that he usualy do most of the work in collecting the scattered pieces. and he is starting to wistle. i was quite impress. Vivian is sitting on her own fairly well now and she's always so smily. I'm so greatfull to have them. oh did i already say that?

We almost lost Owen's glasses today at costco of all places. we coudln't quite remember if he had them comming in the store. but i noticed he took off his tuque and stuffed it on a shelf. DH picked up the tuque then i said, didnt' he have his glasses too? DH was gonna backtrack the whole store, when i asked Owen, where's your glasses? and he turned to the same shelf and pulled them from the wired rack. Good! we don't have to spend an hour searching and having to pay for new glasses after all, altho it was a close call. cause i almost didn't make a case of him not having his glasses on, cause he could've taken them off in the van or we could've forgotten them at home. and that's what i was willing to think at first. but i wanted to make sure.

for quite some time, i've been going to bed way too late, and although before christmass i had started working out, with a few bad cold, it got put on hold. yesterday i decided to get back on track, work out and go to bed early, so i did my workout around 8pm and stepped away from my computer around 9:30, took my shower and then knitted on my scarff for a while to relaxe before going to bed. it was nice and i wanted to stick to it, but not tonight. today was a bit much for my liking and i just want to vedge. wierd how 24h can bare more to write about then 10 days. i will try to get back to my resolution in a day or 2.

Chantal, my brain decided to go on vaccation but didnt' give me any notice.
