It was Super Bowl Sunday and we were having Chinese New Year at my In-Laws, so I cooked through it.
When I was done I sat in the walk-in for 2 hours, peed in a cup, and got diagnosed with a bladder infection.
Bladder infections are not nice so follow all the rules of a vagina. Wipe front to back. Don’t hold it. And the one no husband is going to agree with… Sex = infection so just say no. 😉
2. Kids say the funniest things don’t they?
HBear tried the free trial classes for the Penticton Swim Team. She loved it! On Sunday when we were at her normal swim class there was a swim meet going on. We went a few minutes early so we could watch a bit. I said “see that could be you! Winning medals and training for meets, maybe even the Olympics one day!”
“NO! I don’t want to win or go in the Olympics! It’s not nice to win or be the best. I only like to do things for fun so nobody’s feelings get hurt!”
Are you my kid?
This is a problem. All things are not created equal. If you don’t have drive, ambition and a competitive spirit, you won’t make it out there! This will come up again I’m sure lol.
Not every kid thinks like HBear though. At her birthday party a few months ago we had 1 of her friends come flying out of the bedroom where all the girls are playing.
“What’s wrong Sweetie?” I asked
She replied “honestly, I don’t like it when I’m not the centre of attention.”
Ok then. I heard Ninja chuckle in the kitchen while I thought about a response. “Hmmmm well it is HBear’s birthday and sometimes to be a good friend you have to let your friend shine” I said, very proud of my answer.
“Actually my Mom says I’m a star and nobody shines brighter than me so I think I will just stay out here if it is ok with you?”
Lol
We were listening to my song the other day. FourFiveSeconds. It is my take on the world song 🙂 and HBear said, “what does he mean by talking trash?” So I said “he means people are saying bad things or talking garbage about me”
These girls just blow my mind! Lately there has been a lot of fighting. SBean is loud so she usually gets into the trouble lol but HBear is quiet and sneaky. She pushes SBean and continues to poke at her. SBean is very independent and hates when HBear takes over. SBean does NOT know how to share. So we tried to separate them. “OK girls if you don’t like playing together, SBean can play out here and HBear you can come up to the table and do art.”
NOOOOOOOOOO! I want my sister! I NEED my big sister! I want SBean!!!!
They are completely crazy 🙂
SBean is going through a faze… I hope. She is bossy and controlling. When she doesn’t want to do something or something is not going her way she YELLS “No and No!” SBean it’s nap time! “NO and NO!” SBean let’s try potty! “No and NO!!” When she is happy or likes something she YELLS “Yes and Yes!” SBean do you want to go in the hot tub? “Yes and Yes!” SBean are you ready for dessert? “yes and YES!” LOL We may have a problem that we may need professional help with lol.
Yesterday was Valentine’s Day. We had a great one! We “celebrated” Saturday by cooking a delicious meal together and watching the Oilers vs the Jets 🙂

Yesterday when we were done dinner and dessert (Krispy Kremes from my MBesty!!!!)
HBear went to the bathroom. A few minutes later she began screaming “Mommy!!! Daddy!!! Come here quick!” We raced in thinking she was hurt.
She was sitting on the toilet pooping while brushing her teeth! She smiled and said, “now this is what you call multitasking!”
BAHAHAHAHA
No, I did not say that. But now I really want to go through the second one with a fresh eye and see if she should watch it… I can only imagine the questions when they sing Let’s Do It For Our Country! Lol
3. I don’t have a pet. My Sis had a rough time last week as her dog was running so fast he popped a nail off. There was a ton of blood and poor Lenny had to be sedated and was in pain. 🙁 Pets are hard (hence why we don’t have one). My SIL used to talk about her little puppy like she was her child. She always started it by saying “I know it is nothing like having a baby…” But really, it is! They just don’t talk back lol. My SparksBesty has 2 HUGE dogs and 2 kids HBear’s age and SBean’s age. I am envious of people who have dogs. I miss having a dog. I have been bringing up the subject quite a bit with Ninja and Dad… Until… This…
2. Attempt initial brushing to remove excess hair (so as to not plug the drain of bathtub).
3. Chase your dog around your house for ten minutes trying to get him to stay still for brushing.
4. Outwit him by corning him in a small area such as the space between the front door and the freezer.
5. Wedge self in small space also (wrap leg around dogs body to mitigate escape risk).
6. Commence brushing.
7. Attempt to parent small child from confines of small space.
8. Give up, reasoning that attempting to rescue the entire Costco size box of arrowroot cookies, is not worth giving up the stronghold you have on dog.
9. Remove grocery bag of fur.
10. Grab five cookies from kitchen floor and collar of dog.
11. Steer perpetually hungry dog away from cookie disaster in kitchen by holding five cookies against his snout.
12. Bring unsuspecting dog into bathroom.
13. Shut door, slip out and grab seven towels, then go back in. Take off your pants and shirt.
14. Note fear building in dogs eyes.
15. Attempt to wrestle 110lbs of dog into tub. Knock over bathroom toys, garbage cans, and dislodge toilet seat in process. Lose two cookies.
16. Soap dog and consequently lose hold of dog due to slipperiness of soap.
17. Attempt to maintain control of situation by holding onto fur as dog leaps out of tub, and fall into bath tub yourself.
18. Glare at fucking dog.
19. Wrestle 110lbs of dog into tub again, and rinse. Lose last three cookies (note that you’re screwed if he jumps out again).
20. Pre-towel dog in tub, let dog out of tub, and provide second toweling, let dog escape from bathroom shaking and tossing copious wet fur onto walls as he retreats.
21. Jump into tub and rinse self with bucket because there is so much hair it won’t come off in shower.
22. Begin cleaning: Unclog drain of bathtub (plunger bathtub if manual hair removal will not suffice), pre-wipe walls, fix toilet seat, put garbage back in can, and put toys away. Wait for walls to dry before vacuuming because there is too much hair for mere wiping to be effective.
23. Upon leaving bathroom, note that dog has eaten all the cookies on kitchen floor, including what may be parts of packages.
24. Resist urge to pour glass of wine.
When chicken is ready, dice them up and add to salad. Top with almonds and cheese and drizzle dressing all over.
