Film – Leap Year and Sherlock Holmes

I am a sucker for romantic comedies, so I was really glad to see this film though it is entirely forgettable. I was going to write more about it, but then I had to go take care of the children, and it has been over a week since I started this post with some profound thoughts I had about rom coms in general and this particular instance of it but it just doesn’t sound as interesting now as it did then. I also went to see Sherlock Holmes yesterday and it was nice too.

Chris brought an article about sleep and crying babies to my attention. It is very true. More so, even when Owen isn’t crying I am listening to the noises. It was like that with Trevor too. In fact, until Trevor was big enough to get out of his bed and walk over and wake me up, I was always listening for him in my sleep.

Even though I am not going to have a good night sleep for another two years, I am really enjoying spending time with my kids. We went to the pool this morning and Trevor loved it. I spent some alone time with Owen in a failed attempt to go to a thesis defense a girl in my lab was doing. Both boys are asleep now and I miss them though I am exhausted.

Film – It’s Complicated

I am getting back into Mom at Home mode. I have gone to a drop-in at the Early Years Center and Playgroup and Stars and Strollers this week. I missed the Story Time at the mall, but that was because I had a doctor’s appointment. I had a Belly Dancing class too, but I don’t know if that counts since this was a kids free event.

I am doing well, but that is because I had help around the house since Owen was born. I do have a mommy brain. I can’t really think of anything other than my kids. Oh right, I did go and check out the store that sells cross-country skiing equipment, but I am not at the point yet where I got anything I am currently missing, so I don’t know if that counts.

Oh the fun we will have!

This is the point where I usually talk about favorite moves of the past year, but I really haven’t seen too many movies, definitely not enough to make a list. The past year has been strange and though I managed to do some fun things, most of the time I was really tired, partially from work and school, partially from being pregnant.

I don’t really know what to expect for the next year and I do not want to make any resolutions. I will spend most of the time taking care of Owen and Trevor. Trevor loves being outside, and I want to encourage him so I will try and get him to be outside as much as possible. However, I will also have Owen with me, so this might prove to be difficult from time to time.

I want to work on getting back into shape. I did pretty well during the pregnancy, but I still have far to go. The challenge with this is that I do not want to overdo it and end up in physio like I did last time. I am hoping to do a lot of biking, which will be challenging because Owen will still be too young to take on the bike. I also want to do some cross country skiing, but how I am going to manage that, I have no clue. I probably won’t.

I need to finish my thesis. I have been making very slow progress over last six months.

What I will probably be able to do is spend time with my boys. I just have to make sure I am rested enough to be able to enjoy myself.
