No Mo!

Today is a balmy 9 degrees and the warmth is making me giddy with happiness. Yesterday was not so nice. I had some run-ins with some receptionists at a clinic that made me so frustrated. I kept repeating myself and they wouldn't listen or even make eye contact. At one point I wanted to shake one of the girls and say "Honestly my 1 year old is a better listener then you are! Please listen to everything I have to say before you judge me!" Instead I pretty much let her walk all over me as usual. It kind of ruined the rest of my day. 

But today I woke up and felt way better. I had a great workout and a nice shower and hung around with Rory for most of the day.

This afternoon I was supposed to visit teach a sister in my ward. Rory was not excited to go as I informed her she could not bring her Princess (Sleeping Beauty doll) and her Mimi (Minnie Mouse) and her Lala (Elmo) with us when we went. The sister has cat, which I am slightly allergic too and I didn't want cat hair getting on Rory's toys. As soon as we got to the house Rory got excited because she recognized that this was the house with the cat. Unfortunately, the sister had forgotten that we were supposed to be visiting and asked if we could come back another time. Rory was so devastated when she realized she had to get back in her car seat without getting to play with the cat. She kept reaching for the door crying "No Mo!! No Mo!!" (No cat!). Sorry kiddo.

Its been really busy around here lately. Jade, Jared and Jared's dad came to town for the weekend. Jared and his dad spent the night and then went boarding in the mountains on Saturday. Jade stayed with us. I loved having her in town! We went out for Vietnamese, and went shopping at Dollarama (really thats the only store we can afford!! Saving for a house is hard!) Jade also played with Rory. Rory loves her. At the end of the day, we asked Rory what the best part of her day was and she said Jade. (Actually she said Buzz first but thats her go to answer so it doesn't count. She hadn't even watched Toy Story 1, 2 or 3 that day! I know, record!) Having family here reminds me what I'm missing out on, living so far away. Sometimes thats really hard for me.

But on days like today with the sun shining and the snow and ice melting away from my parking spot, I truly love where I live. Chinooks ROCK!
