Right now, my throat is killing me. I really hope that I'm not coming down with something. Even Sean tonight is being VERY fussy - the first time he's ever been in a mood like this. And I've tried taking his temperature - but he was screaming, so since it was borderline, I gave him a little bit of infant tempra (like tylenol). This is the first time he's ever been this fussy!! He keeps eating though - but I'm afraid to give him too much to eat - for fear of him spitting most of it back up (which happened the other day when his eyes were bigger than his stomach!)

Today I dressed Sean in another onesie that I "made" for him. (Made meaning printed a graphic "design" on iron-on's and transfered it to the onesie. Didn't made the onesie from scratch):


This one reads: "I only cry when ugly people hold me". And he's even demonstrating his "cry" face - even though he's laying down in this photo!

Today I had the pleasure of having a cleaning lady. I did end up helping her out a LOT but we got a LOT done, and I am super happy with how sparkling clean my house is! I still have a few last things to fix up before the "party" tomorrow (more about that tomorrow - because I need to explain the reason behind this "party" in great detail - but I don't feel like describing what a Pidyan Haben is - until tomorrow that is).

I think I'm going to see if my mom's housekeeper's friend wants to come every month or so and clean up my house. She told me she has a full work load, but there is always cancellations, I'm sure.

It feels good though, to be in a sparkling clean place.

Today I'm listening to: Daniel Powster's Bad Day. What a good song! I heard it on TV the other day just after he was being interviewed, and what a great song! If you haven't heard this song, you must go listen to it!

I just got a notice of suspension from the government of Quebec for my maternity leave - seems as though I forgot to send in my ROE (Record of Employment). Silly me thought that my work was sending it to the QPIP (Quebec Parental Insurance Plan) but then again - why would they? It's not them going on maternity leave, and this is a new program - it's no longer associated with Employment Insurance - or Unemployment Insurance either. Grrrr. I have 10 days to mail it in for anything to happen. It's already addressed and sealed in an envelope, stamped too! It's going out tomorrow - so that it's in the mail first thing Monday morning for the first pick-up of the week. I hope they get it on Tuesday, and then I hope that I still get paid this week. It would suck if there is any delay! Gosh - no where in the application process did it mention that I had to mail in my ROE! If they had marked it CLEARLY I would have totally done that over a month ago when I went on maternity leave! I found on their site where it mentions that I need to mail it in - but boy are they not clear!

God bless my Fisher Price swing. Sean's finally asleep. After about 4 hours of fussing, he's finally down for a few hours (crossing fingers - I hope!)

I'm going to see if I have honey, I want to make myself some tea for my sore throat. I really hope (crossing fingers again) that I am NOT coming down with something.
