			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I&#8217;ve been away a lot longer than I ever expected. As previously mentioned my computer has been extremely sluggish and I&#8217;ve sort of been avoiding it altogether lately. Strangely enough, without doing anything to it, it appears to be acting much better today.<br />
Not a whole lot going on in my life at the moment. <em>GM</em> turned 14 months yesterday and has 2&frac12; teeth on the bottom and almost a full tooth up top. He&#8217;s still not quite walking on his own, but he&#8217;s certainly trying. I&#8217;m starting to get a bit worried about his communication skills &#8211; or lack thereof. Besides babbling &#8216;dada&#8217; he really doesn&#8217;t communicate. I&#8217;m really not sure that this is normal, but he&#8217;ll be getting his next set of shots in the second week of July so I&#8217;ll be sure to talk to the doctor about it. </p>
<h4>Saturday 9: Happy Father&#8217;s Day Eve</h4>
<p><strong>1. How long since you have been with your dad?</strong> He lives in the basement, so &#8230; yesterday.<br />
<strong>2. How many siblings share your dad?</strong> one younger brother<br />
<strong>3. Will you see your dad tomorrow?</strong> definitely, we&#8217;re going to my brother&#8217;s for a BBQ<br />
<strong>4. Do you give him gifts on Fatherâ€™s Day?</strong> usually, but he never really wants anything<br />
<strong>5. Have you ever had a tough time in your relationship with your father?</strong> absolutely. we&#8217;ve been through a lot of tough roads, but are finally starting to see more eye to eye<br />
<strong>6. What was the last thing that you did with your dad?</strong> we went out for dinner Tuesday night<br />
<strong>7. Growing up, was your dad tough on you?</strong> yup, he was the disciplinarian<br />
<strong>8. Are you close to your father?</strong> yes, I would say so<br />
<strong>9. How long since you have spoke to him?</strong> a couple of hours</p>

<h4>10 Places Youâ€™d Take a Tourist to See in Your Hometown</h4>
<p>I live very close to Toronto, so here&#8217;s my list for the <a abbr="Greater Toronto Area">GTA</a>.</p>
<ol>
<li><a href="http://thedocks.com" rel="external" class="text">The Docks</a> &#8211; The most amazing place you&#8217;ll ever go. It has everything from a rockwall to drive-in movies, and all downtown!</li>
<li>Bata Shoe Museum &#8211; Not just for ladies, it&#8217;s a great history told in footwear.</li>
<li>Bowmanville Zoo &#8211; I haven&#8217;t actually been there myself, but I&#8217;ve been meaning to. It&#8217;s supposed to be more hands-on than regular zoos.</li>
<li>CN Tower &#8211; Everyone has to experience this!</li>
<li>Centre Island &#8211; Beautiful escape from the hustle and bustle of downtown. It boasts bicycle trails and Centreville for kids.</li>
<li>Hippo Tour &#8211; Again, I&#8217;ve never done this though did try (long story). It&#8217;s a bus that tours the streets then hits the water.</li>
<li>Eaton Centre &#8211; Shopping at it&#8217;s finest.</li>
<li>Shakespeare in the Park &#8211; A different play is put on every summer in High Park for donations. Make sure you bring a picnic and blanket.</li>
<li>Canada&#8217;s Wonderland &#8211; Not exactly in Toronto, but close enough. A great amusement park.</li>
<li>Ontario Place &#8211; A beautiful green space complete with a large kids area and concert venue.</li>
</ol>

		<description><![CDATA[10 Things Youâ€™re Looking Forward to in the Spring

warmer weather
green grass
birds chirping
getting out the barbeque
watching the flowers bloom
no more shoveling snow
putting the winter coats, hats, mitts &#38; boots away
sunshine
hearing the kids playing outside
spending time outside without freezing to death

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>So I&#8217;ve been away visiting my Mum with the little guy. I&#8217;ve gotta say it&#8217;s so relaxing being away from the apartment and it&#8217;s many stresses. Not to mention the fact that I have an extra set of hands when the baby needs something. We managed to visit all Mum&#8217;s friends and show off <em>Goober Monster</em> to everyone. We even got out to London and visited with my Gran. It&#8217;s so cute, since my Mum is Gran to <em>GM</em>, my Gran decided she wanted the title of &#8220;Great&#8221; for him.<br />
Upon returning I spent 4 hours in traffic to complete a usual 2 hour trek. Needless to say I was a weensie bit cranky when I finally got home. And of course I found that <em>Retard</em> was not exactly &#8220;normal&#8221;. He hasn&#8217;t had a drink since he was assessed and scared straight on August 28th, which <strong>is amazing</strong>. However to keep him from drinking he is taking Valium which gives him some of the same characteristics as when he&#8217;s drinking. Today though he was 100% unaltered (okay he had a couple of smokes &#8211; another thing he&#8217;s supposed to have quit) which was totally amazing. It was so nice to be able to trust him with the baby and just relax. I felt the knots in my stomach finally uncurl just that little bit. I really need this to continue and hopefully the fuss I made about how great it was to <em>see him</em> again will get the idea across.<br />
Since I&#8217;m feeling slightly random (as is probably obvious from my disjointed entry above), why not do a random meme?</p>
