So I leave the house this morning in my little sweater for work because at 6am in the morning it is 0 Degrees Celsius out, and of course I am way too lazy to watch the news because that means that it is 5 minutes earlier I have to wake up and I am pushing it as it is. I am soooooo not a morning person. I am grouchy and unpleasant to be around. At 2pm the head honchos at work decided it is pretty crappy so they let everyone go home early. Yeah...got on train. Train sardine packed. Barely fit on train. Train goes 10 feet and then stops for 20 minutes. "What the heck?" Train starts again and more people just keeping piling on in downtown. "How many more people can fit on already full train?" Apparently more can. So now the train is so full that no one can move to get out on their stops. Haha.....That part was kinda funny actually (but only because I am the last train stop in the NW at crowfoot). So I get to crowfoot at 3:15pm. That should have only taken 30 minutes not over an hour, wow! So, yeah it is really snowing out there. Barely make it up the Crestmont hill to get Sterly beans and then slide right back down after he has been picked up. I finally make it home at 5pm. "Is it really 5pm, I left work at 2pm?" It really is 5pm. I park in the 3 foot snow drift behind our house because I have no other options. Get Sterling out of the car. Walk to the door. "Oh Crap!" There is a snowdrift on our porch that goes almost all the way up the door. If I open the door, I will have a huge pile of snow in my kitchen. Instead of doing the smart thing and walking around to the front door. Grab and shovel and shovel porch. Get in house. Home at last! And it is supposed to keep right on snowing all night and day tomorrow. Sounds fun, really excited to have the corner house as all the snow creates a huge drift right at my house entrance.
On other news: Sterling is getting fit for a wheelchair on Tuesday! I am pretty excited for him to own his own little moving mobile. But I do believe that I am only going to get stopped 'that much more' when I am out with him (which isn't a good thing because I am pretty anti-social).
Lastly: I really need to think of some way to earn money from home or my own business. I am not made to be an accountant and sit at a desk all day. Plus I super miss my Sterly. I am trying to think of a way to take what I love, refinishing furniture, painting, interior design and photography in order to make some fundage but not getting anywhere. I wish I was one of those people that wasn't so responsible and have enough nerve to just go out and start a business. Maybe one day! Anyone have any ideas for me? Probably not, but worth a try!

He fell asleep at lunch today at Dana's house. This may seem normal to other parents but this is the first time that Sterling has ever fallen asleep somewhere other then his bed or the car. So freakin' cute!

Sterling chillin at Dana's house, yet again. I have recruited Dana to take pictures of Sterls because I have been slacking. Well, actually I am just stealing the photos she is taking and posting them.
On sad news for Sterls: Another child needs to try out the midget wheelchair next week so we must give it back :(. Sad I know, he was absolutely loving it and I think he will really miss it until his chair comes in. I think that won't be for another month and a half to 2 months from when he loses the chair. I know it doesn't seem like that long to other people, but it does to me! I also know other kids need to this wheelchair too, but it is still a sad day! Good luck to the next child, Sterling has really worn this chair in for them. Constantly trying to run things and people over to entertain himself and which has ultimately lead to the destruction of my newly painted walls. Yes, my paint job looks about 10 years old from my knee down now, but at least from my knee up my walls are still pristine!
