My first dead cow

You may not know this about me (Jen) - but I have never seen a dead cow. That is - until today. I am referring, of course, to a dead cow that is still fully intact and looking like an actual cow. I never would have imagined that I would see my first dead cow from about 5 feet away. I also would never have dreamt that I would be innocently driving down Victoria Avenue in the city of Regina only to glance out my drivers side window and have a dead cow staring right in at me. The question of the day is then - should I have been surprised? There it was laying on its side tied to a flatbed truck, all big and hairy and with blood all over it. Maybe it's the city side of me but my stomach lurched. I'm glad Caden isn't old enough to have noticed it. Yuck. The farmers out there may be disappointed in me and if the guy driving that cow around reads this - could you tarp it next time? Thanks!

So that was my monday morning adventure with wildlife. :)

Hey yuck
Okay so a normal farmer does not just run around with a dead cow strapped to his truck...just for the record. I remember the first dead cow I ever saw and I swore off burgers for the whole summer. It is a trauma to realize that what we get in nice tidy packages at the store didn't just come off of a meat tree. So while this is the first comment i have made on your blog i think it was best for it to come from your country ...now stuck in the city friend.

They are here. They are really really here!!!

It was a cool day. Almost too cold. The kind of cold that makes you rethink your very existence.... Boy. I am waaaay to tired for that. So I will give you the un-dramatic version. So, we are getting bombarded with requests for an update and pictures. So I will oblige and provide you with all the gory details. Actually, there are no gory details. In what can only be described as an amazing answer to many prayers, the new Mooney babies were brought into this world with no problems what so ever. We entered the hospital at 10:00 in the morning and were taken to the surgery room around 12:00 noon. At exactly 12:38, the first baby, Dylan Michael was born weighing in at 6 pounds even. Then, also at 12:38, Evan Timothy also charged into the world weighing in at 5.2 pounds. Then, at 12:39 Liam David was born weighing 4.8 pounds. For those of you good at math, that is a whopping 16 pounds worth of babies. 16 POUNDS!!! And even though them just being born at 36 weeks and 5 days isn...

Did you know?

So, did you know that exercising regularly can help you have more energy!? Okay, so did I. And did you know that eating healthily also helps with that? As does going to bed at a decent time at night? I guess we all know that but I haven't been good at acting like I know that. I was getting frustrated. I was just so tired in the evenings. I wasn't having the kind of quality time with my kids or my husband that I wanted. I didn't feel like going out with friends in the evening. I was okay during the day but that's not when I am with my people, for the most part anyway. Sometimes, I would fall asleep on the couch before my kids bedtime!! If I wasn't asleep, I was lethargic and unmotivated. Just not the me that I wanted to be. It doesn't sound like much, but I just couldn't stand wanting to be intentional but not having the energy to do the things that mattered to me. And my kids are 9,9,9 and 11. That's old enough that I can't use the...
