It's Okay to Take a Nap
Debra Sansing Woods

A celebration of motherhood, It's Okay to Take a Nap illustrates the joys, struggles, and triumphs of being a mother. With reminders to moms of simple reassuring truths - like how you deserve a break and how you are a queen, not a maid - this book will strengthen and empower women while at the same time assuring them that their sacrifices to be a mother have not gone unnoticed. Simply and beautifully written, this book is a wonderful gift for any mother.

NEW CAR SEATS!

Oh yes... And they're nice!
I took the girls over to Toys R' Us and let them pick out the car seat of their choice (within a bunch that I placed on the floor for them to choose from.... Lets not get crazy here!! *L*)...
Zoë was first... She was debating between the
OR

Hard choice! The brown and pink is adorable while she's used to the Eddie Bauer one is like the one she's grown up with.
After much testing (even Emma helped out here) and going back and forth on our decision Zoë chose the Eddie Bauer one. This was also after I mentioned that the cushions that she would be leaning against when she fell asleep had more foam on the Eddie one than the Alpha one... She was sold! *L* (We no longer use the head rest thing that holds it in place when you're an infant... I'm sure you can all guess what I'm talking about).
Then it was Emma's turn! She was deciding between the

OR

Now... The Evenflo one come with 'activity lights' on both sides of the head so she'd be able to read books, color, etc. while on trips on just on our usual trip back and forth from the city on the highway... It also comes with cup holders and snack holders all in one! BUT the Turbobooster has flowers on it!!! Humm...
She chose the Evenflo Booster Seat! *L* And in that exact color. There was a beige/brown/tan one but she didn't want it!
An extra bonus:
The wonderful women working in the Babies R' Us section allowed me to Register for a Baby Registry so I could save five bucks on Emma's chair (heck, why not??!)... So in case you were all wondering, my due date is tomorrow! *L* Just in case you'd like to view my registry, here's the info!
Two ways:
1) Go to Babies R' Us and click on 'Baby Registry' on the right hand side (you'll see it in the purple)... Then you can put in my info as such:
Registrant(s): MISTA ZAUGG
Registry #: 40913411
OR
2) Got to this link that will take you directly there!
As you'll probably see, I have nothing on my list! Actually tried it out today and I had 43 things on my list from when I was having Zoë! *L* Imagine!

Music - Part 1

So I've always been in love.... *AHEM* I mean, I've always loved Michael Bublé's music... But yesterday I actually took some time to sit down and make a play list for my page here (which I really do hope you enjoy at least one of the 36 current tracks on it)...

This is when I came across this wonderful and amazing song... Where have I been all this time??!

Here it is!

Everything

You're a falling star, You're the get away car.
You're the line in the sand when I go too far.
You're the swimming pool, on an August day.
And you're the perfect thing to say.

And you play it coy, but it's kinda cute.
Ah, When you smile at me you know exactly what you do.
Baby don't pretend, that you don't know it's true.
Cause you can see it when I look at you.

[Chorus:]
And in this crazy life, and through these crazy times
It's you, it's you, You make me sing.
You're every line, you're every word, you're everything.

You're a carousel, you're a wishing well,
And you light me up, when you ring my bell.
You're a mystery, you're from outer space,
You're every minute of my everyday.

And I can't believe, uh that I'm your man,
And I get to kiss you baby just because I can.
Whatever comes our way, ah we'll see it through,
And you know that's what our love can do.

[Chorus:]
And in this crazy life, and through these crazy times
It's you, it's you, You make me sing
You're every line, you're every word, you're everything.

So, La, La, La, La, La, La, La
So, La, La, La, La, La, La, La

[Chorus:]
And in this crazy life, and through these crazy times
It's you, it's you, You make me sing.
You're every line, you're every word, you're everything.
You're every song, and I sing along.
'Cause you're my everything.
Yeah, yeah

So, La, La, La, La, La, La, La
So, La, La, La, La, La, La, La, La, La, La, La

Good Afternoon??!

So how did your afternoon start today? Lunch? Chats with friends? Work? Laundry? *L*

Mine?

With a bang... A LOUD bang!

You see... I'd been asking Tyler for days now to go and see our house... I hear that my dishwasher had been installed and just had to see it!!! *L* Dorky yes, but I've NEVER lived in a house with one! This is HUGE for me!!! *L*

Anyways, we had a viewing of the house we're in this morning from 10-11am so we left before then and grabbed some breakfast as a family of four! Imagine! (Tyler is working nights right now)... The we went to Caster Town where Tyler picked up the four caster needed to make his dolly type of thing to move the playhouse we placed in the yard last year (it weighs about 600lbs and is on stilts... I'll post photos below...)... After that we went for a drive... That's what Tyler said we were doing... And we ended up in Leduc! YAY! I have the best Husband around!!!

So we're driving down the main street not far from our neighborhood when a van in oncoming traffic decided to turn left right in front of us...

BANG!

My poor, poor van.... My poor, poor children! Emma automatically said her head hurt (she's in a booster seat now remember...).

We get out of the van and check our children before even giving the driver of the other van a glance. Once we knew that they were okay but a little shaken up we turned our attention to the driver of the van.

He said that he thought we were in a turning lane. Nope, we were in the straight lane... the turning lane had it's on merge lane to our right into the Leduc Common area.... WE were in the lane that is supposed to go straight... And our light was green.

Nice guy though. He's 60 and this is his first accident... Ugh!

So we pulled in the a parking lot nearby (since we were taking up the whole intersection), traded information, called the Police... Started a file with them over the phone and then headed over to Leduc's RCMP branch where we filled out more information sheets and such.

Then we went to our Insurance Company as it just happens to be in Leduc (no actual planning with this years ago! *L*)... While Tyler dealt with that I took the girls for some furniture shopping (what else are girls supposed to do in this situation??!! *L*), looked at our house (OHHHHHHHHHH! Soooooooo sweet! Dishwasher in, counter tops in, flooring in... Carpet was being put in!!!!) and grabbed a drink and a cookie before picking up Daddy (who is now going to be late for work! Ugh!)....

I know that I'm going to hurt tomorrow.... Tyler will as well. We could feel it right away. I'm sure that Emma is going to feel the stiffness kick in over the next few days (I hate this for her!)...

So now my van has to be taken in (and more likely will be having a mini-vacation at the repair shop for a whole new front bumper, alignment check, etc.) and we'll be sharing the car.... Which we're very grateful to have as an option. I just wish that I could say to Tyler 'Nah, take the car, we'll hang out here tonight' but instead I have to drive him every day (and, of course, he's on night shift so we'll be picking him up at 12:30am...) just in case there's viewings of this house.... Grrr...

Oh! And I have to buy new car seats... Now. We weren't actually supposed to drive home with the car seats we have but how are we supposed to get anywhere? We don't even live in Leduc yet! *L* Now I'm on the panic to find someone to watch my girls for a few hours so I can buy new car seats tonight and not have to worry about it tomorrow as we have our days packed full for the move stuff.... Ugh again!

Yup... That was my afternoon. The accident happened at 12pm... Great start to the afternoon!
