The last two days have been fairly uneventful. I have been somewhat of a hermit and have stayed home with the exception of the quick dash I made to Wal-Mart today. My stomach has been giving me grief again and my energy levels drop as I tend not to eat very much for fear of pain.
The highlight of the day was my trip to Wal-Mart! I finally managed to get my hands on a Wii Fit. I have been desperately searching for one since we got our Nintendo Wii last week. Every day I made the same group of phone calls, Wal-Mart, Zellers, Future Shop, EB Games and even Blockbuster looking for one of these systems. Fortunately for me, my second call of the day resulted in a kind fellow named Ben at Wal-Mart holding the last of two they were delivered this week. Who only sends a Wal-Mart two of something?? Twenty maybe, but two??? I suspect that Nintendo has thousands of these sitting in a warehouse somewhere and is just drumming up hype by only releasing a few at a time. Lucky me I grabbed it! So tomorrow I will see if I can figure out how to set it up and start getting my behind in better shape.
With my newfound interest in blogging, I searched a bit and found a blog created by a 'loopie' friend of mine. For those of you who don't know what a loopie is, it is a term we use for people involved in toddler clothing web groups or loops. Anyway her blog is one of the most beautiful, inspirational yet saddening thing I have ever read in my life. If I manage to figure out how to link here, I will add it as soon as I can. It is called Resurfacing and is about her resurfacing from the devastating loss of her son Callum who was born still last year. This site brought me to tears, made me smile, and left me in awe of this woman's strength and courage through an absolutely horrible tragedy. Most importantly it is another reminder of how precious life is and how special and lucky we are to have the happy healthy children we do. Go spend time with your kids and tell them how much they are wanted and loved. I did - several times today.
Enough for today - go hold your children tightly and remember how lucky we truly are.
