Unicorns!!!!!!!!!!

Well here we are day three

The children are all tucked up nice in their beds sleeping *crosses fingers* Lately I've been using naptime to eat, watch a video series ( that i'm enjoying very much) on prayer and blogging. Its feeling so much  more fulfilling than watching netflix and cleaning the kitchen.

Today was one of those weird days, where you are walking around, enjoying the sun and the nice crisp fall air. Side note : Fall is so deceiving. It makes you believe the air you are breathing is fresh and clean. You go from the summer, enduring the oppressive, hair poofing humidity, feeling like you are in a constant sauna ( asthmatics everywhere cry!) and then suddenly the air turns and holds the sharpness of the impending doom about to come ( ahem winter) and you think "oh! the air! its clean!"
Lies. All lies.
But I still enjoy it.
Side note over.
So I'm walking, enjoying the sun...and i start to notice that people are looking at me Smiling. Not in the "oh my gosh your kids are so cute! are they boys or girls? are they twins?" kind of way. Its an odd smile. One I can't describe. I start to think....is there something on my face? Do I have trails of boogers on my beautiful pashmina that I have watched videos about how to tie in 30 different ways and tried about ten? Are my children doing something weird? Is there something stuck to my butt?
I have no answers.

Today's excursion was to the chiropractor.
If you live in the durham region and need a chiropractor, go see Dr. Natalie. I LOVE Natalie. If we didn't meet on a professional level we would be great friends. I'm about 6 months older than her, we both like old school blue rodeo, she cracks my back and I make her laugh. If it weren't for her I wouldn't have been walking at all at the end of my pregnancy with Elisa. She also kept Elisa's copious amounts of spitting up at bay. Now I know some of you are probably freaking out over the fact that I took my newborn to a chiropractor, but honestly, massive difference. Elisa is also my second child...so...you tend to be a lot more relaxed the second time. Anyway, I do actually have a photo of Natalie adjusting baby Elisa when she was about 2 months old, but since I took it for the scrapbook and did not ask her permission to post it in my blog, I won't be posting it here.

Up until school started up again, I hadn't been bringing the children with me to get adjusted. I've been braving it however with them. Its not a far walk -about 20 minutes. I always seem to be late though. So I've walked there three times now, and every time, Sophia has a total meltdown. I think she thinks I'm being tortured or something. Last time we went, Elisa sat quietly in the corner, picking Kleenexes out of the garbage can and tried to eat them until Natalie noticed and took them away. This time she sat in the corner screaming. If you know my Elisa, you know shes happy 90% of the time. Like, you prematurely wake her from a nap and she grins at you. Not today. She just sat and screamed. Sophia was clinging to my foot with one hand, clutching her bottle with another and shrieking like a banshee. She alternated between grabbing my foot and hovering at my shoulder. Not even this old man or ten in the bed would console her. Absolutely ridiculous. As soon as we left the exam room, everything was roses and buttercups again. Maybe they are scared of the spine model.

Id really like to get inside my kids heads sometimes. It'd be wonderful to know what the heck they think is going on.

There is something else I'd like to blog about but I have been sworn to secrecy by the powers that be. I will say....that there is a certain product I'm doing a review survey for that I used to think tasted horrid but now suddenly tastes nice....I will share it later on. If I remember.

So last night was weigh number 3 ( and yes im using this blog as well as a means of keeping me accountable - though I have buddy Leanne for that - I have to keep her proud ha ha!). I didn't gain, didn't lose, but that's cuz i used my points last week on terrible things. SO this weeks goal - protein, protein and protein. Probably less bananas too. Better those though than chocolate chips......

Also, I need some help. I usually send my sponsored child a gift. I'm not supposed to but I do. I pray over that package like mad, that some idiot in the kampala office won't be a douche, steal it and take it home to his kids or sell it. She always gets whatever I send. Now I'm all out of ideas. I have sent lots of math books ( her parents at first sounded like they thought I was wasteful cuz I sent clothes and jump ropes. Once I started sending educational books they loved me heh) clothes and jump ropes, colouring supplies etc. I sometimes feel bad because they aren't supposed to get things that aren't totally flat and I think the other children probably get nothing and Alice ( thats her name, Alice. You can tell from her pictures that shes got 'tude. I love it) gets stuff. Anyway, I need to send very soon if she's to get it by Christmas. So any ideas would be appreciated.

Ok, here is it again dear seester :
