And the cold rages on...

Well maybe raging isn't appropriate but it is still lingering... I am still stuffy and some what miserable... my poor family. But everyone knows that no one can be as sick as a man with a head cold...

Well I am continuing along with my J.K. Rowling marathon I am on to the sixth book for the third time :) I believe I have read them in succession at least twice so this should be the third time. I am looking forward to the final chapter in the series. It will be bittersweet I think as even though it is technically a children's story very few other stories have captured the imagination like it. I find that I a really looking forward to the upcoming movies and how they adapt so much into a film that can be seen in one sitting.

I have been thinking a lot on my own novel and if it will ever come to fruition... I think I just need the discipline to sit and write which admittedly I am lacking right now as I have so many other distractions at the moment. Well that and my drive can be waning at times... well most of the time... fourth child syndrome I guess...

Anyway I am off to blow my nose for the ninety seventh time today...

Later...

UGH!!!!

Well got my second cold of the season. I am miserable....

Why is it that as soon as you get motivated to start doing some good things something pops up and puts up a road block for you... I mean I was just getting on the exercising band wagon again and BAM I get a cold which makes it near impossible to breathe. I was just going to get working on the basement and well hammering and cutting ain't going to happen with a head cold.

Time to hit the orange juice big time me thinks...

Trying to do more...

Well I started working around the house on Sunday. I have a lot of projects i want to do. Dianna is gently prodding me, not though words but through actions which I am OK with, she knows not to nag me :).

Anyway, I got a huge curtain rod put up yesterday for some decorative drapes in the living room... Need to think of something for the Dining room, probably the same look but different drape colour... I dunno... I also took down the horrible wall and door I put up in the basement. It really looked like crap and the door didn't hang right, so down it came...

I need to look at doing some other stuff around the house like paint the boys bathroom and the upstairs hall too. Then I can hang some photos and stuff too :)

I need to exercise tonight too, I haven't since Friday... bad me...

It's funny though the more you do, the more time you find to do it in... I always thought I had no time to do anything... I think TV is to blame... yeah TV that's it... it has nothing to do with me being lazy with a laptop permanently attached to my fingers... I need to limit my 'net time I can get much more done :)

Well I excercised last night...

Not too much but enought thta I feel it today. I hadn't done anything since before Christmas so I was looking a little pudgy :) well not really but I felt like I was.

Funny thing was I have had a bad shoulder for a long time now and it was getting better when I was exercising regularly or atleast it seemed to be. I stopped and it is a constant ache that has been getting worse. Hopefully I will see some improvement in it within the next week or two...

Soooo anyway what else is going on with me...

Not much lol it's all about my kiddos :) Eldest went skating today and got into a grade one reading class earlier this week. Youngest cut an additional tooth (yea we are up to 2 now) and it looks like it won't be long for two more. He is also saying a few more words his speach hasn't developed as quick as the eldest did but youngest is more of a doer than a thinker...

Very different kids that's for sure

meh...

OK I thought I was going to start a new blog and categorize things and to all kinds of wonderfull things. Well that was nothing but greif, for starters with the "new" blogger I can't import my old posts which irritates me, kind of unfair don't you think blogger people? Granted I am not the most blogg savvy person out there but it bugs me anyway... And I don't like it one bit :P

So anyway I have cool news! My little guy has been bumped into a special reading class where he reads with some grade ones and he says it's a really cool time and he has fun :) I am going to reward him too :) we are going to take a trip to the toy store and get him something to show how proud I am of his progress.

New Year has come and gone...

Well it is the begining of another year.

Makes me feel old to see the years going faster and faster. I know it's all just a perception of reality and that time is a constant. Just that each year becomes a smaller portion of your over all life. I sometimes wonder if I will get the chance do complete all the things I would like to in my life time...

I really should sit down one day and write out what things I would like to do, I mean what really matters to me. Sure seeing your kids grow up healthy and happy and get married and have kids is a given. I am still mulling over the thoughts in my head regarding a novel I want to write. I don't know if I have the discipline to see it through, I get side tracked so easily it seems these days...

Happy New Year

Well another year has past...

You know what I don't feel any different. I still have the same fears i always had, they are just a little bit more numb than usual due to the copious amounts of booze I have forced down my gullet in an effort to give everyone the idea that I am a carefree spirit with the same hopes and joys that they have for the new year to come. There is no big change coming there is no pot of gold at the end of the rainbow....

Just the same old same old that we always did before. I guess that's what makes us a sentient being that we have hope even though we know the game stays the same unless we make some drastic changes to the rules....
