What a day yesterday was. It all started with Sam being a complete twirp... While I was in the washroom, he climbed up on the kitchen counter and I caught him playing with a big butcher knife. Later, I showered and just as I was conditioning my hair, Eli knocked on the door to tell me that Sam took off his diaper and pooped on the floor. I quickly rinsed off and went to clean it up. While I was cleaning it up, he PEED on me! Ugh, what a horrible way to start a very busy day.
I got to watch my dear friend Kirsty's kids yesterday morning. We haven't seen them in a couple of weeks and the two youngest had a hard time for about 20 minutes, but we had a blast once they felt comfortable. I just have to tell you how much this friendship means to me... It's so neat to have a friend with kids the same age and sex as mine and since Kirsty's a stay at home mom too, we get to see each other quite often. She has an uncanny ability to make me laugh and I really feel like we have the same ideals and values. I love her! I was so happy to help her out by watching the little darlings... A couple of pics and a video of the boys playing together...

Things kind of went downhill after lunch. Not only were my parents leaving Medicine Hat for the last time, but another friend of mine, Jodi, was moving too. Both Mom & Dad and Jodi wanted to get together at roughly the same time. It was pretty stressful trying to nail down times to see everyone and in the end, I never did get to say goodbye to the Eason family. Mom & Dad met the kids and I at a park and then we headed over to the house for our final goodbye. I really didn't expect to have such a hard time. I was fine until I was strapping the kids in the car and hugging my parents. I've only lived in a different town than my folks for about 6 months of my life and it's very hard to think of having no family any where near us. Mom & Dad have always been such a huge support to us. They've been here for every one of my kid's birthdays. They know my kids better than anyone else in the family. I cried and cried all the way home and still have some tears in my eyes now. I feel pretty alone now. We're 3 hours from the nearest family member now, six hours from Mom & Dad. I have a feeling that we won't see much of any of my family now since the 'rents are gone. Boo. Makes me so sad and isolated. The folks are planning a visit in October over Thanksgiving, so I'm looking forward to that time a lot... It'll be the first time anyone from my family has stayed in my home! Trev also told me that we can try to get up to Edmonton to visit them between now and Oct, although it's unlikely.
A positive note from last night... Kirsty called me to check up on me and she cheered me up and made me laugh so hard I was crying... good tears this time!!!
A pic of Mom & Dad and the kids from yesterday... I wanted to do more, but they had so much to do.
