Fall

Ive said it before, I'll say it again. I love fall.

I so miss Peterborough right now. I have been having frequent yearnings ( YES I said yearnings) to walk by the liftlocks on that path with all the pretty trees and gorgeous leaves and crunch all the ones on the ground and just breath in the relaxed atmosphere ( so like on a weekday....in the morning....).

Or looking all fall fashionista with one (or two....or three) of my favourite scarves walking downtown with some fancy hot drink, window shopping ( and nabbing one of those custard tart thingys at Nata's that are probably NOT weight watchers friendly but I.dont.care.) and heading to chapters to spend the entire day reading ( crunching leaves all the way!!! Though there really arent that many trees....but in my mind there are!)

Yeah Im a little homesick. Sort of.

But I do love Peterborough in the fall. And summer.

For thanksgiving, we ( and mom) are going to my inlaws. I'm looking forward to getting to spend some time with family. Its been a bit of an emo past few days. Im going to be making this: click here to see yummy goodness. Pretty sure the only 500 calories thing is a lie but Im going to make it gluten free and I will let you all know how it turns out....not like thanksgiving period is going to be weight watchers friendly but whatever. Its better than stocking up on mickey D's.

Speaking of WW, im down another pound. Yay!!! only 7 more to go to pre pregnancy weight!

Today we walked. S was walking with me, and kept looking at the leaves. There are a lot more on the ground than last time she walked and so she kept stopping and peering at them. She picked up a couple and looked at me like "what are these?" I told her she should give one to sister ( which by the way is what she calls E now - thanks to me i know). She showed them to her and then took them away lol. I gave E one and she ended up kind of eating it....lol. Great mother eh? We went to the library and when I took E out I realized that she had puked all. over. herself. Naturally I had no change of clothing but I knew if I tried to keep her in that stroller without giving her some freedom time we would all be unhappy. At first there were no other people around the children's section. There was a storytime class though that let out shortly after and suddenly there were people everywhere and I was like um...yeah...my child is covered in barf. I know what this looks like. I forget though that for the most part, other people don't really take notice of others because they are just as flustered as I am.

So the l ibrary has a computer for little kids with this near program where you can choose lots of different programs to learn .....stuff......I picked some alphabet stuff but of course S just sat there hammering on the keyboard. The library lady didnt seem to care so I let her. She's not allowed to touch any of our technology. Ya, I'm that kind of mom. It was really cool though. In a few months she may be more interested.

Potty training is....going. Its not as exhausting for the moment. The problem is that when we aren't home she forgets to tell me she needs to go and I forget to just put her on the toilet except when we first arrive or leave somewhere. Somehow I manage to miss her a lot. I suppose in time this will improve. She's right about needing to go when we are at home so I know she knows when she has to go. Maybe I need to take a couple of days and let her run around in just underware or something. Really don't want to clean up pee everywhere. Ugh.

I think I have written enough for today. I guess I'll get cracking on the coupon trading. Zzzzzzzzzzzz

Tomorrow hubbie had to take the day because I have a doctors appointment at 11 and couldnt find a sitter. Woo Hoo! This dr you have to wait for about an hour to see for a bout 2 seconds. So should be interesting *rolls eyes*
