But it sure looked like it. -Still on the Evelyn's bedroom project which had a deadline of March 2013... its still not done. lol - Had a bunch of accidents after Miley's head I banged my head, Chris wound up with stitches on his arm, I cut my finger really badly and Evelyn banged her head too... accident prone february !!

Big time. lol -I bought my roller blades, which I used like 3 times and decided to say eff that noise. Maybe when the weather warms up I will try again.

September 2013: -Miley started school. Junior Kindergarten -Chris worked 44 days with 4 days off. -Still no libido -Chris and I got into it a lot this month. -Seems like we fought this year a lot about his lack of help and assuming I should do everything, not assuming sorry, expecting that I should do everything around here.

Hes been working these shifts for forever now.

October 2013: -Miley had a random fever -Got Tiffany's liquor and marriage licenses for her -Went to the city to watch Tiffany try on her dress, and also Martine. There was a war that morning though between everyone. Well not everyone, but everyone against Tiffany because after pissing and moaning about us all being there to watch her try on her dress, she almost didn't come. Only reason she did was because everyone freaked out on her because we all made plans to be there! -Tiffany's wedding. Finally. Its all over. -My washing machine broke -1 year mark since I've had a sink (that works) -Incredibly busy with my photography business. Its neat that this has grown so much in the last few years. I started writing here when the idea of owning an SLR was just a twinkle in my eye. -Fought w/ Tiffany about the truth about me supposedly going to the bar after her wedding. What a dink. -Evelyn turned 2 -Halloween party at a friends house. Was fun! -Still incredibly busy with photo shoots!! -Both kids had colds -Realized that everyone pretty much has left this page. -Finally got my sink!! Hooray! -Evelyn's room is still in renovations -Chris got another new job, 15 hour days again, no days off sigh...

November 2013: -Random severe backache -Decided to put my computer up for sale -Kids started physically fighting lol -First ortho apt -Had a nice little road trip with my mother. Had a lot of fun, went to a movie, went to her friends and had some drinks, went across the border and ate dinner, did some shopping. Had a total blast. Simple, but needed. -All of us had a cold -Chris got the call about his current job in refrigeration. His current job called the next night to tell him their project was put on hold, so it all worked out. -Didn't realize that this job involved travelling and time out of town : sad -Him being out of town proved to be not that bad at all. -Back to the city for another ortho apt -Got my spacers put in between my molars, which hurt a lot -Chris spent lots of time on the shitty highways making me nervous -Gramma went for surgery in the city -My friend Barbara passed away. At 29 years old. It was horrendous, the funeral was horrible, and I feel so horribly for her parents.

December 2013: -Gramma home from surgery. Was a long and scary time. My mom was there with her, wish I could have been. -I realized that Chris and I get along when hes out of town. -City for another ortho apt. Struggled and fought the weather. -Miley had a fever and a 2 week long cold. Missed the last week of school then was off for 3 weeks.

So according to my diary this year, there has been a crap load of disagreements between Chris and I... the kids have been monsters and pretty much this yeah has really sucked, but I'm looking forward to 2014.
