Funniest ad placement

Funniest ad placement of the day... all these "pullups" ads right next to an article that discourages use of ... pullups!

Well, my voice is slowly coming back.. though I have discovered that singing will overuse it in sheer minutes... but the kiddo is coughing and all... so we missed the second gym class in two weeks. Damn. So much for him getting out and social and all. But this week we are going to a friend's cottage up north on Wednesday... snowshoes for me, sled for the Dao... I think there is about 4 meters of snow there. And on Friday we are going up north in a different direction, to visit my friends up there in the countryside. Sliding this time. yay!! Lots of running around.

And boy, have we got snow. We are headed for a record snowfall this year. Right now it is beautiful, white and sunny, but wearing my patience. They haven't even passed with the little snowplow thingies on the side streets, so it is a meandering path carved by pedestrians (on top of 1 foot thick snow), between mountains produced by digging out front paths and parking spaces. Very hard to walk other than single file, which is not so simple with a dog on a leash, and a kid in a sled. And where people have dug out their front walks, they make a dip where they meet the foot higher public sidewalk, and the sled keeps tipping kiddo sideways into their front walks. It takes ten minutes to go a block, where it should take two. Very trying on mama.

But my watch band broke, so we had to actually venture out of our little home/park/home two block comfort zone. At least it was a fruitful trek.

On other news, the time has changed, and we are all wonky. The Dao's internal clock has NOT changed, so he is not getting to sleep on time, and all the new "sunshine hours" are eaten up by the fact that he wakes up from nap at 4pm or later instead of 3pm (his body thinks it IS 3pm). Oh well! Too much sun anyways: had to break out the sunglasses today, and usually they don't come out til June!!

Back to work....

Books for Future Clutterchild

  • Andrea U'Ren: Pugdog

    Andrea U'Ren: Pugdog
    Pugdog just wants to be a dog, not a GIRL dog. Adorable illustrations, but a bit of overkill with the poodle ending. (****)

  • Rigoberto Gonzalez: Antonio's Card
    Antonio is nervous to show his mother's card with his two moms after the kids laugh at the butch one outside school one day. Nice to see a butch mom. Extra points for being bilingual English/Spanish. (****)
  • Peter Parnell: And Tango Makes Three

    Peter Parnell: And Tango Makes Three
    Another beautifully illustrated book about gay fathers, in this case, two male penguins in the zoo, who raise Tango, their baby from egg. My only problem, "it takes 2 to make a Tango". drat from the single mom point of view. (*****)

  • Latifa Alaoui: Marius
    Wonderful french canadian book about Marius, whose parents are divorced, and his mom has a boyfriend, and his father does too. Beautifully illustrated by Stephane Poulin (*****)
