Home Is Where The Heart Is

Posted by Janice On February - 28 - 2007

And I’m about to get a new home. Last night hubby and I put an offer on a new house. The scary part is that it was accepted. Uh Oh! Now we have to move AND sell our house before May 31st. Umm did I mention I’ll be 8 months preggers when we move and we have a toddler? Gosh – what was I thinking? I must be Nucking Futs! Oh well – here’s a LINK to a slideshow of the new house!

To say I’m scared is putting it mildly. We have a ton of work to do to make our house market ready – something we should have been doing for the past 2 months… You know – painting, de-cluttering, packing etc… But we work well under pressure :grin:

The house is AMAZING! The driveway fits 6 cars + 1 in the garage, it has 4 bedrooms, 1 1/2 baths, finished basement with a gas fireplace, large eat-in kitchen, living room with French doors (I’ve always wanted French doors), and here’s the best part: It’s got a 28 x 14 ft in-ground pool! I LOVE swimming – so much so that I was a lifegueard during my university days. Oh man – I can’t wait to move!

Daddy Rob to the Rescue!

Posted by Janice On February - 26 - 2007

Up here in the great white north we just got our third dumping of snow today.  It just so happens that today is the first time I’ve ever had car trouble – a flat tire – while I was at a conference – instead of being safely 7 km from home at work.  Great – just freaking great.  So I calmly pulled out the one-time use, roadside assistance card good ol’ hubby bought me when he found out I was pregnant (gotta love his practical gifts).  I called the number on the card, then flipped the card over to find out that the card he bought me in December 2006 expired in December 2005!  Yep – Crappy Tire sold him an expired card (no wonder it was on special!).   Anyways my next call was to good ol’ hubby to ask him who I should call to fix my tire.  The kind wonderful loving man that he is left work and rushed right over to rescue his pregnant damsel in distress. Isn’t he wonderful?

Update: Pukey McShitty

Posted by Janice On February - 25 - 2007

Alright – after 7 days of non-stop shitting and the occasional puke thrown in just to keep things fresh, Sierra is feeling mucho better – no thanks to good ol’ Telehealth Ontario . I called Telehealth Ontario a few times – each time they told me her diarrhea wasn’t a concern until she’d been doing it for 14 days straight. 14 f’ing days! OMG! After changing 6 shitty diapers yesterday I had enough and I gave her some Kaopectate that I got from the drugstore. The kid has not pooped since! Awesome! She had a bit o’ gas – but wow! It’s such a relief not to have her suddenly break out crying “poo poo, poo poo!” anymore.

Cross Posting – Anyone?

Posted by Janice On February - 23 - 2007

I’m back – sort of, maybe, who knows…. I’m thinking about reviving my ol’ www.justjanice.ca/cosmogrrl site – but keeping my Vox blog still alive by cross-posting.  Step one is this test post to see if my cross-posting plugin works…

About Me

This blog is about me – Janice, a wife, mother, employee, runner, softball player, internet addict and a completely obsessed New Kids On The Block fan. My blog title is about my running, as at the time this blog began back in 2004 I was a running mother-to-be, training for a 1/2 marathon. Part way through the pregnancy running became too uncomfortable for me leading me to slowly back off on my running. Now a days “Mom On The Run” is a reflection of how busy life has become caring for 2 completely adorable, yet “spirited” little girls while my hubby travels A LOT for business, though I do still run on occasion.
