it's beginning to look a lot like Christmas

and I have to say, I was slightly horrified on Tuesday when I realised that Christmas eve was a mere 3 weeks away. I'm not exactly finished. I'm having a hard time with my family. The man is easy enough I suppose, and the boy is easy, but the family I was born into, not so easy. Not so helpful with the ideas and such. So, they're all going to get something, but I'm not sure yet what it will be. The man is in charge (theoretically) of shopping for his family, so I (supposedly) do not have to worry about that.

We did have a snow day on Tuesday though, as did most of the province, and perhaps some others. I had a terrible sleep though, and not because I was SO EXCITED to have the potential day off, but because the man is away, and I am not really supposed to be shoveling massive amounts of snow in my, you know, delicate condition. I had this fear that the snow would stop overnight, they'd get it all cleaned up, and there would be school. And I'd have to call in, what, pregnant? That would be lame. As it was, I did manage to sweet talk somebody into clearing out most of my driveway, but we're going to have to work out a more reliable solution if the man is going to be away regularly. I didn't go anywhere that day, except outside a few times with the boy, who had a great time walking and falling down and getting stuck in the foot and a half or so of snow and then yelling "Hawp! Hawp mum! Guck!" We also had a good time with him jumping off his sand and water play table that is covered in snow and so now is basically just a table to jump off of. I took some really cute pictures of him airborne and smiling, I'll put them up on his site eventually. We're supposed to go get professional type pictures done tomorrow morning, but apparently the boy got into an altercation with some toys on Wednesday morning and has some scratches on his face. I have to wait and see about that, because Superstore doesn't retouch their photos, and I am not paying money to have photos of my boy all marked up, nor would I be keen to send those photos out to friends and family. A bit annoyed about the whole thing really, not because it happened, because that happens, but because it was not really explained to me fully and now I may have to cancel the picture appointment last minute, which is annoying for me and for them I imagine, and there will be no possibility of rescheduling for before Christmas.

I should really do some work now. Oh, we went to see Enchanted, and it was actually really funny. Much better than I had expected. I do have the song from it in my head though, and that's pretty annoying.
