And the Daycare was...

We went yesterday to check out the possible new daycare. The woman was amazing to open on a Sunday for us and she was so incredibly nice and she has been an incredible support this past week and a half. The Kid seemed to love the place and they have a padded room for recess which is awesome. I wish I could have a padded room (and insert jokes here). We spent over an hour talking as the Kid ran around. I was sending him telepathic messages to try and look intelligent and brilliant. Instead, he ignored my pleas and ran against a wall. Hey, it was padded! Awesome! After the long talk I asked if she would be willing to have the Kid at her school and she said yes. So it looks like we will start January 13th. Well, the first couple of weeks we will need to bring him in for just an hour or so so that he can adjust- they leave it up to the Kid to decide.

I have a feeling that within the first 10 minutes on the first day, he will be running in and playing. It was so nice to finally sit down with a child minder who seemed to really know her stuff. When we mentioned things that our current daycare has kvetched about she shrugged and said "So". And when the Husband pointed out that it was considered not normal for kids to line things up she said "Says who?" I wanted to hug the crap out of her. We will continue with our current daycare (gonna cost us) until he is completely integrated into the new one. The Husband isn't completely convinced yet but he will get there. I have my work cut out for me; note to self: purchase new push up bra and buy coupon for local strip club.

And now I can finally announce my kind of awesome news! I wrote a little post for one of my favourite sites ever (Just Say Jenn) and it was posted just now! I am plutzing over here! If you want to read it and check out her awesome site; here it is. (Better link here http://www.justsayjenn.net/) I am pumped! And yes, yesterday was finally the moment I hit rock bottom. Ta da! It happened (cue quiet sobbing). Now I really feel I need to kick my own tusch!

Happy Monday!

A Key Word Post

Image
I didn't have anything specific to post tonight because nothing terribly exciting happened over the weekend. Which is actually a good thing. That means it was a chillaxed weekend with no need to look up divorce lawyers or boarding schools for toddlers. So, that means that I will write things based on some key words... long story short, lots of short stories. So here we go! The daycare: This morning was my morning to bring the Kid. By 8 he was in his coat and shoes and I was in my fake fur vest and heels. We headed out and rounded the corner and walked through the front gate. He jumped out of his stroller and headed to the front door. It was locked. I tried a couple times to open it and the Kid started to whine. One of the providers came to the door and explained the daycare was closed for the day. Apparently it was staff development day and someone (the Husband) did not see the signs up last week that they were closed today. I apologized and tried to call the Husband while tryi

A Tova Movie Re-cap: Bram Stoker's Dracula

You all like that I am reviewing films that are over 20 years old, right? I'm like Grandpa Simpson. Today's post is a re-cap of one of my all time favourite Halloween movies EVER. And it isn't just a Halloween movie.. it is so much more. It is Francis Ford Coppola's Bram Stoker's Dracula. I remember exactly when I saw this film for the first time. We were at my Godmother's cottage in Quebec and my parents and I and my brother headed to the video store. I stood in front of this VHS cover and stared and stared (that's how I would let my parents know I wanted something back in the day. I was not allowed to beg for toys so in my brilliant infantile wisdom, I concocted a full proof plan. I would stand in front of a toy (probably a My Little Pony) and stare and stare and stare. I was subtle. I still do this today at jewelry stores.) I was 12 years old at the time and had graduated from being fascinated with witches to vampires. Puberty, guys. I was OBSESSED wi

The Way Some People Find my Blog and a Challenge

Image
Now, I am not sure why people read my blog. O.k., there are some reasons that people read my blog... they are interested in autism, they like my use of gifs, they are my friends and want to support me, sometimes I make them laugh, they want to see if they are mentioned in it, they live in Vienna and want to know where I go so they can avoid bumping into me... I don't have a sophisticated stat counter on my blog. The only thing I can really see is the number of page views, which countries those page views are coming from and what people search for and somehow end up on my blog. So I decided today to post the most common terms that bring people to my page. And some of them are amusing. Pros and cons to living in Vienna : This one is pretty understandable. I did a whole "pros vs. cons" post a while ago. I think if I had to move to a new city I would most likely type in the same thing. As well as, "average price of alcohol".
