Fred finally gave in and agreed to the purchase of a PVR- Personal Video recorder. It is amazing! Fred and I admit to being tv addicts. There are many shows we follow, Prison Break, One Tree Hill, CSI, Criminal Minds, House, and there is more but I will quit my list before people decide it is time for a intervention. We have found ourselves staying up a lot later now that shows have made there return for the season. We don't watch the shows at the earlier time as we are busy enjoying our children and then after we put them to bed we are free to watch, but have to wait for the show times. Monday is like the best TV night and there is 3 of our fav hour long shows and 3 would like to catch 1/2 hour sitcoms. There is no way we ever get them all. Tuesday there is only one show and Wednesday only one and soon one on Thursday. Nothing Fri-Sun. Now with a PVR we can set it to record the shows we want and now we can watch them at our leisure. Spread them out over the week. The machine is so great that you can set it to record only the new episodes of a series. LOVE IT! It also holds up to 125 hours of digital tv. And it lets us skip commercials.
I just proof read this - We sure like tv - maybe we do need a intervention!

I miss Fred
I feel like Fred and I haven't really got much time together as of late. I started working at the end of July and generally work 2 nights a week and all day Sat. Over The summer Fred took on a side project developing a room in my aunts basement. It ended up taking a little more time then anticipated. So on nights I wasn't working and the day of the weekend I wasn't working Fred would be up at her house. She lives across the city! There were quite a few times we went with him, so at least we spent the travel time together.
The immediately after he finished the basement job, his parents needed his help on there deck. So now he has been trying to go over there as much as he can. He has been going on nights/Saturdays when I work and taking the kids but also on Sundays after Church. He is very glad to be able to help and is enjoying spending time with his dad, however he is tired. He doesn't complain though-doesn't say a word. It is me that is starting to grow weary of this. I want to spend more time the four of us, I would also like to have some one on one with Fred. This Friday we are going with a couple of our friends to a comedy night. I am really looking forward to it. Perhaps we will be able to go for supper before or for dessert after.
I guess I am really starting to feel the impact of what my working has on our family. All of a sudden time is a commodity. I don't know how people with kids manage when both parents work full time. I guess most of the time the kids are in Child care of some fashion, I don't think it would be possible if not. I know Staying home with our children is the right decision for us and I wouldn't want it any other way. Working nights and weekends around Fred's work schedule is the only Way to make that possible. And I feel very fortunate to have that option - it's just a adjustment for us.

Falling Apart
Seriously I am only 29 years old- I can't imagine life at 65. My body is falling apart.
For over a year now I have had a permanent spot of tenderness on my forehead. I have had a xray and two ct scans and they can't find anything. It went away for 2 days and I was so excited and then it came back.
This summer I broke out into a full body rash twice and so I went for allergy testing last week. Turns out I am allergic to a lot more then I thought. Mold, Dust, Horses, a handfull of trees- theses are the more serious ones but I am allergic to a ton of other stuff just not as bad.
My arm that I broke this summer is not healed as good as I would like - I still get a lot of pain. If I am crawling around with the kids, or pushing them on the swing there is a fair amount of pain.
I have had tonsillitis 3 times in the last two months and now the Dr says I need to have my tonsils out. He has referred my to a throat and nose specialist and I am waiting for a call.
I have had a fairly bad jaw for quite sometime. When I was 15 I received a kick to the jaw while playing soccer and it has been bad ever since. It used to only bother me when I got bonked in the jaw or when I opened really really big while yawning or at the Dentist. Well it has been getting worse and I have been trying to ignore it but I am afraid it is time to get it checked out. It is now clicking all the time. Whenever I chew..click click click. Time to get it looked after...
