Day 123........I thought that I'd already written a blog for yesterday but it appears that I am wrong.

3 Girls and 4 Suitcases.

Really, I could have sworn on the big book that I had written the blog yesterday, to be posted today but it appears that time really is zipping past me and it was actually Sat night that I wrote a blog and timed it for posting yesterday. Oh dear but never mind.
There was another little spat, yesterday-eek. Perhaps it's due to the increased female hormones around here but it feels like we are all a bit touchy.
Perhaps it's the approaching New Year or the fact that Bill's been missing in our hormone mix-who knows or cares. Probably not you, right? Yesterday, I had just a little overdose on the girls 'speaking' to each other and lost patience and 'did-it-myself' which sent Jen into a bit of a quietness because she doesn't like when I snap.
It took us a good while to get back to relaxing and chatting and laughing again and what I found amazing was that I actually missed the turning point. When my stubborn refusal to apologise disappeared, I do not know....it just did. However, apologies to my big girl, for not being an adult and allowing it all to settle quickly. It was back to being in the place of wanting to be right, rather than happy. I am so glad that I don't spend much time there any more.
We had been shopping and looking for bargains and I found a wee 'new home' gingerbread-type tree ornament, which I bought with the money Jen gave me for Christmas which came with the stipulation that it had to be spent on me. I am wondering whether I may manage to get through a whole year, without a single clothing purchase for myself. MMmm?

I always like to buy a Christmas ornament, when we go on holiday but we didn't get one this year and so I was glad to find a 2014 one which will remind us of our new life in Toronto beginning in 2014. We may even have a decent sized tree to hang it on next year. Jen and I went to Ikea, after the mall and they had some fairly decent ones reduced in price but I decided that it would just be one more thing to have to move, when we move again. Besides, I want that real one...the one I'd hoped for this year and didn't manage.
After catching the Ikea shuttle bus then the subway home, I headed down to the grocery store to buy some 'pop'. Not having a car makes buying 2l bottles a bit of a chore but on TTC pass days, I can jump on and off the buses with a couple of bottles in each bag and survive to tell the tale. Did I tell you alrady that I get my 2l of soda for less than 70p......good deal. Jens sprite is a few pence more.
When I got home, I left the girls to the making of turkey wraps and turkey 'n' cheese nachos and I was glad to put my feet up. I think that there is a little bit of turkey left but we have done a grand job of getting it eaten.
Andrew had a relaxing day off work, trying to deal with his now 'funny-sounding' voice. I didn't hear it but I can imagine. Hopefully he will feel better very soon.
The girls actually disappeared off to their rooms after our movie-Valentines Day (a bit early, I know) and  I managed to watch an episode of Elementary....love it, before heading to bed.
Whilst watching the show, I heard a bit of a 'crash' and knew that it was the PizzzaPizza tree falling over. I don't think that I will rebuild it. The boxes are still scattered all over the dining room. Will I keep them or will I not. Mmm? We are getting a $20 voucher from the company, for our design and so perhaps I ought to think of something new to build?. The voucher will buy our first Pizza of 2015-the company customer-service folk thought our tree was great.
Sleep is disturbed again but I don't lie awake. I simply wake up what feels like every ten minutes, think my thoughts and go back to sleep-lol.
Sending out big love to all,
Lxxx
