Science & Peaches

Mistaya’s Science Project. Which peach will mold the fastest? She did the vast majority of this project by herself and her “partner” much less. That really ticks off this Mama. I adore her partner–the dearest, sweet little girl. However, she didn’t help the Mist as much as she should have.
It is 9:30 AM. And I have been running since I awoke at 5:45 AM. I have been up and down the mountain two times already today.
And most importantly, A big huge thank-you to my Mom, who was the best Granny ever! She looked after my girls and my Doe-Doe and managed to wash everything in the house! Thank-You my dear, sweet Mommy!
I am officially back from my Vancouver Lovers weekend and my lover is already back in Vancouver today! I really should have taken more shots of the natural beauty–mountains, giant trees, ocean. But, I was a lazy city-girl and spent the entire weekend in the centre of downtown. Completely unlike me–nature girl extraordinaire. But I so needed to pamper myself for the weekend. Shopping, swimming at hotel, movies in bed. “Slumdog Millionaire” very good but very disturbing–if you can handle “A Fine Balance”–the Novel by Rohinton Mystery, then you can handle Slumdog. The hotel dessert buffet was to die for! Usually, I detest dessert buffets–everything is blah. But this buffet at Hotel Vancouver-YUM! Everything tasted so good. From the Blueberry Crumble Tart to the Double chocolate mousse cups to the pineapple cheese cake-everything was so flavorful, textured and fresh!
Today has been busy. Peter left for Van by 6 AM. I went to the gym, made girls their breakfasts, lunches(scraps I tell you!), got Tabs off to the school bus. Chased and lassoed Pip and loaded her into the car. Drove Mist and her science project down to the school. Tabs called–bad cramps again! I picked her up from school, went grocery shopping as our cupboards are bare and I couldn’t even find anything for me to eat for breakfast. Now I am home. I must work as I am meeting my group to go through our presentation later this afternoon.
I bought $350 worth of Hilfiger Denim clothing for $135 while in Vancouver. An incredible sale! I love their jeans. I bought this adorable (1920’s) ABC poster for Pip but left it on the plane. Must call the VAG and get them to mail me out another one.
Am I up for this weeks challenges?
–ween Pip from her soother (I know, I know…how could it be that she still has one at night?)
–train Fernando to poo and pee outside and not in the house anymore!
-start hot yoga 1X per week–get my flexibility back to snuff. (I am stiffening up! I used to be rubber band girl–the spits both ways! Not so much anymore!)
–enrol Pip in Pre school for next year.
–get back to meditating nightly.
–make a substantial start on my term paper this week.
