• I am loving the snarky #grammy tweets. There is nothing like being able to make fun of celebrities. #
• if you can get away with wearing some bandages to cover up, perhaps you shouldn't. #pinkwhatwereyouthinking #grammys #
• As stimulating as the grammys are, I think I will watch them in bed. G'night everyone. Have fun being snarky. #
• Hey everyone @bobsandlol & @thekerplunks are playing the olympics! Robson Square 13/14 for @bobsandlolo & 27/28 for @thekerplunks #kidfun #
• just catching up on an interesting conversation about the olympics and protesters. I think there were some interesting points on both sides. #
• I am a little worried that the anti-poverty-comittee will ruin the torch relay through Van. How is being destructive helpful to anyone? #
• Do I need to worry about bringing my kids to see something that should be a cool memory? #torchrelay2010 #
• I didn't think today would start w/ a trip to the walk-in clinic to get a cat scratch cleaned out. Bad mommy wasn't quick enough to stop it. #
• The headache I thought I got rid of is back in full force. #thisdaysucks #
• Aidan is having a much easier time with Mario Kart for the DS. He is actually finishing races by himself. #
• I will be so happy when idol is back to the top whatever. I am actually embarrassed for people. #
• The meltdown is reaching epic proportions. A's been crying & in his room for 15 min now. Because I am MEAN & want him to play w/toys not DS. #
• Let me be clear, HE was the one who put himself in his room. #preschoolermeltdownsarealittlefunny #
• ok now the other one is melting down. Time for a reset and an audiobook. #
• sigh, as I expect a wakeful night I am heading to bed for some bad tv and sleep. #

• The Age of Persuasion is on now. Slogans are the premise. #
• in port moody we just saw someone walking their parrot. can I just say wow. #
• Things I never thought I'd say. *I need to tweet about the parrot being walked.* #
• I don't know about anyone else, but I am kinda enjoying the spotlight show. I thought I would hate it. #
• I need to be up early, so I had better get some sleep. See you on the flipside everyone. G'night. #

Ok I lied. I will most likely talk about sleep because it is ruling my life right now.  Well I suppose it is more likely the lack of sleep that is ruling our families life.  The sleep issues are making even Anthony think about moving sometime in the nearish future.  We still need to get away from the sillieness that is the rental market in the time of the Olympics, but come the end of February we are seriously looking for a three bedroom place.

It is here that I insert a big sigh.  I love Vancouver, and I love the area where we are living.  I want to stay in this area or at least close by.  I know that this means for three bedrooms we will need to up our rent by a significant amount and I am not sure we should. I also want to be able to give the boys a little bit of room to themselves. I want to be able to let Quinlan learn to get over the little wake ups. He needs to be able to learn to sleep through the night.  I need him to sleep through the night.  Anthony needs him to be able to sleep through the night. How much is having an extra room worth?  This is what I am not sure of.  How can we justify a new place when we have such a good deal here.

I suppose the next question is do we really have such a good deal here? The floors need to be replaced, badly.  The kitchen and bathrooms really need to be gutted and redone.  The place really needs new paint,  and a myriad of other small and larger fixes.  If we get our landlord to fix any of these things, not only will we be really inconvienienced (and where the hell would we put everything), but he will up our rent.  If we are going to be paying more in rent then we should have more space.  I don’t think  I am being unreasonable. Then again maybe I am.

• Finished 1st day of level 1 shred. Is it more or less effective to use a 22 lb toddler instead of hand weights? #
• Going caching early tomorrow so off to bed I go. I think I will ignore the huge pile of laundry not learning to fold itself on our bed. #
• Had a good games night with friends. I shot the sheriff but I didn't shoot the deputy. #interestingcardgames #
• Oh the life of a parent of a toddler; one can't tell them to go back to bed or to play in their room. I should go to bed. #
