The Petting Zoo

Sam had a great day at the petting zoo just down the road. We went with her playdate friend Angelie and her mom. There was a nice park and a train ride too. We all had a great time!

Evening Stroll

Here we are on a windy evening walk yesterday...fall is definitely here!

I Was Tagged!

I was tagged by Lala and supposed to post 5 weird things about me...so here goes....

Five Weird Facts About Me

• Wayne tucks me in at bedtime every single night.... just like a little kid. I cannot go to bed without being tucked in!
• When I want to go back to 'simpler times' I drive around with my 80's country music cranked up.
• I love Kraft Singles wrapped around dill pickles for snacking on.
• I mumble to myself when I putter around (ok maybe this goes beyond weird)
• My favorite movie of all time for years used to be Grease 2 - the cheesiest of all time. I watched it 19 times when I was 14 years old. I idolized Michelle Pfeiffer's character and wore black jeans all the time. I can recite the movie script word for word to this day. I saw it out on DVD a few years back and bought it, so now I can watch it even more...lol!

I Want My Career Back

For a while now it's been hard to be at the computer for more than 5 minutes. Sam finds me sitting here and wants to climb up and plunk on the keyboard so I have to delay answering emails or blogging. I find myself gathering toys or anything to distract her and then sneak away to only be able to turn on the computer. Then I give in and surf all the kids sites and let her interact and dance to the music. After seeing that it's worth it. lol

Anyway so I thought I'd post something quickly as now she doesn't seem as eager (for a few moments). I'm all better from being sick this month, I just take it easy in the day. I did a bit too much yesterday (I can feel my chest tightening up and I get short of wind). It's raining here and cold so a good day to nestle inside and relax.

I'm focusing more on my career again these days. Now that Sam is older I can concentrate on getting back into my makeup biz. I'm already booked for 2 weddings which is really exciting. I feel like the old Heidi I used to know. I much prefer to work on set though and what I find really frustrating is I can't accept anymore gigs in film yet. That's until I can find someone to look after Sam for long periods of time. I work usually 3 - 6 weeks, come home on weekends (if out of town) and work 16 hour days. This just doesn't jive with our lifestyle yet and probably won't for a little while longer. This year I've already had to turn down 3 offers - that's a lot of cash. I hang up the phone as I bang my head against the wall.

Back In The Saddle Again

I'm all better and followed up with the doctor to make sure it was ok to be back to work, etc. I've fallen so behind in everything around the house and running errands, but I'll have to really take it slow so I don't wear myself down again.

I just want to say a HUGE congratulations to my best friend Tracy and her hubby John who just had a 7lb. baby boy yesterday morning. His name is Luke and we cannot wait to meet him! I held off going to the hospital yesterday in fear of spreading any potential left over germs, but now that I have the 'go-ahead' I'll be visiting tonight. Sam has a little new friend - YAY!!

Still Recovering

Since the weekend I've come down with pneumonia. My cough was still as bad as when I first went on the antibiotics last week so I went back to the doctor. He didn't confirm it with an x-ray but heard my raspy chest through his stethascope. My rib cage was in so much pain from coughing Monday too, I wssn't surprised to hear I'm this bad. I'm now on a longer and stronger dose of meds plus a puffer. Today I feel so much better than I did 3 or 4 days ago. I'm barely coughing but still have a deep rasp in my chest. It will take a while to heal. I have not left the house and have only done the necessary things around the house. I called into work again this week, which makes it a month now since I've been there. After all of this I'm getting my annual flu shot and hopefully it's the last time I get really sick for a long time. This year has been really bad for me health wise, but that's what happens when you have a baby. Hope you're all well out there, I'll take a blog walk soon!

Labour Day Weekend

We brought home Sam's toy wagon from Gran's last night and before bed she decided to give Max a little ride around the house.

My cold is almost better - I ended up on antibiotics during the week and still have a bad cough, but I'm feeling much better. Hopefully we can get to a playgroup one of these days.

In the meantime our long weekend is keeping us inside until the rain stops. Sam's keeping busy coloring at her little Dora table and with other things, while I get caught up on my house cleaning - one room at a time is all my body can handle right now. Say...does anyone want to come clean my home? LOL
