Just Catching Up

So the month of April is almost done, and May is only a few short days away.
The sun has disappeared again, even if spring has come to stay.
The birds are chirping in the trees, and pollen's blowing through the breeze.
The fore cast says that it just might snow, which only proves to me,
We are here in Canada, the most exciting place to be!


K, so maybe I'm feeling a little silly. I just find it very funny how yesterday was +20, and today we are supose to get snow. Oh well. The kids are enjoying the weather, which is great. They are getting back into their active little selves. my youngest is able to play along this year. So very cute watching her older siblings push past her on the way to the slide . . . there have been a few minor incidents. Ironically, it's the older brother that ends up getting hurt the worst in amongst his crew of sisters. My husband is working on the deck. We now have stairs from our house to it! No more leaving the house, walking around the fence, then to the deck. Although, my daily exercise may plumet since I no longer have to make the extra 30 foot trek, but BBQ-ing will be much easier!

On another personal note, this is something a fellow Facebooker posted this morning, and I feel obligated to share. It is regarding some of the risks to the new Gardasil vaccine. This is something they are offering to grade 5 students here in our area. And truthfully, I think more study needs to be done before a generation of young girls are damaged. I know many people have already gone and recieved this vaccine, however, if you have not started yet, please do more research. I had a conversation regarding this vaccine with a friend the other day, and i mentioned that there have been about 30 deaths, the response was "ya but out of how many? that's not alot." Which is true, considering the many girls that have recieved this vaccine, that isn't a big number. However, it's too many. That is 30 young women that have needlessly died. If that was my daughter . . . .
Anyways, here's a video link http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=msoyRYSoSJk
There is much, much more info out there! Look it up! You'd research the car you'd like to get or the computer you'd like to upgrade to, why not research the vaccines our children are getting.

Anyways. As always, I hope you all enjoy your wonderful day. And Happy Earth Day!!!

Would you nurse her in the park?
Would you nurse him in the dark?
Would you nurse him with a Boppy?
And when your boobs are feeling floppy?

I would nurse him in the park,
I would nurse her in the dark.
I'd nurse with or without a Boppy.
Floppy boobs will never stop me.

Can you nurse with your seat belt on?
Can you nurse from dusk till dawn?
Though she may pinch me, bite me, pull,
I will nurse her `till she's full!

Can you nurse and make some soup?
Can you nurse and feed the group?
It makes her healthy strong and smart,
Mommy's milk is the best start!

Would you nurse him at the game?
Would you nurse her in the rain?
In front of those who dare complain?
I would nurse him at the game.
I would nurse her in the rain.

As for those who protest lactation,
I have the perfect explanation.
Mommy's milk is tailor made
It's the perfect food, you need no aid.

Some may scoff and some may wriggle,
Avert their eyes or even giggle.
To those who can be cruel and rude,
Remind them breast's the perfect food!

I would never scoff or giggle,
Roll my eyes or even wiggle!
I would not be so crass or crude,
I KNOW that this milk's the perfect food!

We make the amount we need
The perfect temp for every feed.
There's no compare to milk from breast-
The perfect food, above the rest.

Those nursing smiles are oh so sweet,
Mommy's milk is such a treat.
Human milk just can't be beat.

I will nurse, in any case,
On the street or in your face.
I will not let my baby cry,
I'll meet her needs, I'll always try.
It's not about what's good for you,
It's best for babies, through and through.

I will nurse her in my home,
I will nurse her when I roam.
Leave me be lads and ma'am.
I will nurse her, Mom I am.
