I was tired ALL day today. Just completely groggy. Kaitlyn got up early to go to floor hockey, which meant I was up earlier than usual as well. McKenna also needed to leave earlier to do some PAT test or something (forget what it's called, but all of the third graders in Alberta do it). McKenna also got to do inline skating at school today. So she was excited for that. Grant and I took the kids to wal mart today, just to get out of the house together. We bought a yellow shirt for each of our kids. We wanted to get them for when we go to Calaway Park this year. I prefer my kids to be easily identified in such a large setting. We are going to go this weekend if the weather is good. It is the Grand opening. The kids are very excited about that. Grant and Tyson napped when we got home. The grey weather totally killed me today. I am a person who does not take naps, but I was needing one today. Finally I decided to just let Catcher and Maiya play video games while I went down for a nap while Tyson was down....alas, the world seems to need me when I actually try to take one. I laid down and was instantly falling asleep when I hear Maiya calling from the livingroom "Mom, MOM...where are you???" then running down the hall saying it loudly. I was like "Sshh...Maiya, I am in here. I'm trying to take a short nap and Tyson is sleeping, so you need to be quiet". She left. I then proceeded to fall asleep...5 minutes later, Catcher comes running in..."Mom ,I need....". I can't even remember what he wanted, but I was like..."Just wait until I get a little nap". Fell asleep again....phone rings. Aaahh!!!! The phone proceeded to ring 2 more times apart from that.. and when that was done, Tyson woke up. Maybe this is why naps leave me more tired than I was before. Sheesh! Grant left for work and the kids came home after that. Kaitlyn came home asking if she was allowed to have a boyfriend. A boy in her class is interested in her, and was hoping to ask her out. Yikes! Am I ready for this? I said no, not until she is older. I did say that she was welcome to hang out with this boy with her friends and things though. She asked about "making out" with boys...Aaaahhhh!!! I said "No. This is not the right time for that. She needs to mature more. When did my baby grow to this point already?? It's like a blink of an eye! Before I know it, she will be off and married. Well, I am just going to put my feet up and relax. I'm going to watch the movie "Taken". Though it looks like an intense movie, so I don't know how relaxing that will be. It looks interesting though.
