I did it!!!

I quit smoking on my 35th bday, which was Nov. 18th! I actually woke up a non smoker, my last cig. was on the 17th @ 11:30pm. I am very very proud of myself. I have been a nonsmoker for 6 days now!! :):) Tired

Day 1) No real issues, no obssession with smoking or not smoking, no Nic fits, smooth sailing really which shocked me! Night time day 1, kept waking up, jumping legs while I tried to sleep, nervousness. Was a rough night actually. Tired


Day 2) No real issues, I think I had two moments where I wanted to smoke out of pure habit, wasn't even a nicotine craving. I didn't smoke though! Some Nervousness, tired

Day 3) Getting a little tougher... its all about the habit! The situations I was in all reminded me of smoking, was a mental fight. Some nervousness, tired

Day 4) Bad bad stress levels, nervousness... I was soooo irritated! Hardest day so far!! Picturing myself smoking was not good... did some breathing excersizes and went outside in the cool air to keep myself focused. Lots of coughing and chest clearning happening. Taste buds are exploding as well. Tired

Day 5) Not so bad today, just a few thoughts about smoking, coughing continues, odd reactions to some foods, like with the taste. Tired

Day) The odd craving out of habit... other than that not to much. Tired

WOOT! I am super happy about that!! :):)

Maera's 2nd Bday & Halloween

Our celebrations started out friday the 29th. Uncle Steve, Tressa, Tessa, Hope, Meadow and Trevin all came and stayed over. When all the kids were finally asleep the adults put up the decorations for the festivites the next day!
On the 30th, Maera turned 2! We had a lot of guests over, about 17 kids and their mum's and dads LOL. We had barley enough room to move in here hahaha. IT WAS A WICKED TIME though! :) The craft I set up went perfect, the pumpkin bowling was a hit as always!! We had pizza, YUM! Cake and ice cream! Maera's God Mom; Aunt Sam made her cake, it had dora on it! We had all the kids play drums and use their shaker that they made for the party craft and we made lots of noise!! The kids loved it!! I did too I must admit haha. Then Maera opened gifts (got lots of nice things too! Including Toopy and Binoo items that came from Montreal! Can't find it around here. Lots of dvd's, clothes and other toys... a small keyboard that she can play, a magnet drawing board with chalk board on the other side, which she LOVES! She got crayons and coloring books, and The fridge magnet alphabet pieces that she loves to play with @ daycare!!! She did really well for a 2 year old! haha.) For Maera's party I was Dora and she was Boots... I'll add pic's below!

Halloween night was awesome too! We put up some kick ass decorations, left my brother to arm himself with the candy and took Maera trick or treating! She caught on SOOOO fast! lol. She was knocking on doors and saying trick or Treat all by herself by the third house lol. She even said thankyou all by herself! Then she wanted to run to the next house! David and I were laughing at her telling her to slow down hehe. For only 2 she sure caught on fast!! We changed her outfit for trick or treating as it was chilly. She wore three outfits including the costume, which I've added a picture of below.
So overall we had an awesome weekend for a change, couldn't have asked for anything bettet really! So nice!:)
