Tiggy! Tiggy! Tiggy!

Feeling like the cat has taken over the family as the newest addition..still not sleeping...but working on it...Darren is trying to frantically finish the scratching post...

Life here was suppose to be a little slower...but no luck...we are doing respite with a young lady for the month, Wednesday's I have an extra 3 kids in the morning for a total of 7 under 9 yrs...good they I like all the kids! kids haircuts, grocery shopping, getting ready for camping, swimming and oh ya...I think I have a new job to start in September...I'll fill everyone in more latter.

We'll I have an early morning so I'm off to bed.

Adventures with the Swabey's
Okay here is my exciting revelation/ lesson for the day...I think I learned how to link...here's my try...this is a friends link...they have just sold their home here in Canada left behind family and moved to Ireland...all for the Lord. A little crazy but that is why we love them so much! Check it out!
Rain Happens

Now if only I could figure out a few other Blogging tricks!

Oh ya - I almost forgot...went to a Passion Party last nt...the lady who did it was awesome...very proffessional yet made it very fun! Darren was so cute when I got home...he had obviously not really listened when I told him where I was going...his eyes were just a twinkeling when I got home...As he looked thru the catologue he said " I had not idea where you were going... this looks great!!!" So note to women out there when in the mood to spend $ men will never complain when you buy from this company...most women there said husbands had said buy whatever you want!!

All I will say is it was a wonderful nt with my man...even if I only really saw him after 10pm...hee hee (note: no pics will be forth comming!)

Made it thru the nt!!! Not sure where she slept or what she did all nt...all I know is I got some sleep, kids got sleep, hubby got sleep...we are all a little happier today!

I have 4 kids right now (none of which are mine...). 2 yrs, 4 yrs, and two sixes. Boy do I have alot to get ready for daycare!!!!! The two year old is into every cupboard...the 4 yr old is exploring every room and the two sixes think it is all so funny!! Tiggy? hiding under the couch!

The girls should be back soon...so I'm off to make grill cheese sandwhiches and then off swimming at the "Y" this afternoon with 4 of the six...never dull but I am really enjoying it!

Feel like we have our third child...and now I'm pretty sure...NO more kids!! hee hee...I rolled on Tiggy last nt (1 am) - really freaked me out...then I spent 45 minutes trying to convince her to sleep on the chair in the living room with the really soft towel...went back to bed only to be awoken by Mickala...as Tiggy had attacked her legs at 2am...(now been up for one hour) Tiggy is now in full "Hey - everyone is up and it's party time! - lets play" mode...took another hour to convince the cat she was not going to sleep with Mickala either...(read the cat book on ideas to get some sleep ....ended up using the waterbottle to warm the spot I wanted her to sleep in...) -back to bed at 3:45am.. woke up to 7:30 am to Makenna crying as Tiggy was now attacking her in her sleep... Tiggy then chased Makenna into my room where she decided my bed felt like a litter box and pee'd on my nice bedding...clean bedding on the way!!!
So worked on nail trimming this morning...been putting that one off...but did get 3 nails done...only a gazillion more to go...Kitty litter on my feet is now feeling pretty irrelevant!

Thanks Lori and Diane for the Kitty tips...I'm hoping that by the time she's two she'll let me (and the kids too!) sleep thru the nt.

So here is the newest addition to our family "Tiggy". Not sure where Darren will sleep tonight when he gets home from up North?! So far my biggest complaint is the kitty litter under my feet when I go to the loo...other than that - I'm in love! (and I think the girls are too!)

Unhappiness in relationships, according to Dr. Gary Chapman, is often due to the fact that we speak different love languages. Sometimes we don't understand our partner's requirements, or even our own. We all have a "love tank" that needs to be filled in order for us to express love to others, but there are different means by which our tank can be filled, and there are different ways that we can express love to others.

Found it interesting that I wanted to answer yes to the "gift" questions...but obviously need the other more...hint...I still love gifts!!
