Twitter Weekly Updates for 2010-08-29

By Gwen, on August 29th, 2010
  • I love how well Quinlan is playing with the fantastic track we set up yesterday. So quiet without Aidan fighting him. #
  • I can't believe it is only noon. Why did Anthony get boys who slept in and I didn't. :( Well I guess 1 did. :) #
  • on hold with @virginmobilecan trying to get my e-bill account number. @anthonyfloyd got 14 texts w/info and i got 0. WTH? #
  • Also? I am much happier when I have an approx time frame for on hold. Easier to deal w/the wait when I have an idea of how long it might be. #
  • So after waiting on hold for at least 40 mins to get my acc # w/@virginmobilecan, I am now on hold again to see where the $ I had went. #
  • FDUCK! Q!@!@! @!@T¸o #
  • I was just dropped by @virginmobileca again.I am so not happy this morning. I just want to get the money from my prepaid account transfered. #
  • This was not what I wanted to be doing for two hours with no resolution. #
  • I think the boys deserve a treat for being so good while I have been on hold. #
  • OK Now I am pissed. I was supposed to be transferred by Trayna @Virginmobilecan & I was effing dropped again. I started over 2 hours ago. #
  • Boy number 2 down for a nap. Mama number 1 might do the same on the sofa whist boy number 1 plays. #coldssuck #
  • Now comes the fever portion of the cold. I hope it is not a throat infection. #
  • trying to get the house clean before @AnthonyFloyd gets home. Kitchen is clean but I am running out of steam. #
  • Aidan: Mommy! @jiangomeshi is finally returning to Q! It has been a long time. [maybe Jian's youngest fan? #
  • So my husband @AnthonyFloyd & I disagree on the tastiness of pumpkin pie & whether or not it is a reasonable breakfast food. #ithasveggies #
  • All this talk of pie is making me hungry & I now have a plan. 1 week of different kinds of pies, all homemade & healthy. #foodrevoloution #
  • I think it could be a good idea for home made icecream. Then you control the ingredients. @bfmom @AmberStrocel #
  • Fall must be in the air, back to school, pumpkin pies, and oh, how much time before Word on the Street? #ILoveFall #
  • At the play palace. Lots of fun! http://campl.us/h4O #
  • I like most of our bike rides except the last 1.5 blocks. Those, they kill me. Hard to balance the bike in the granny gear w/Q on the back. #

Twitter Weekly Updates for 2010-08-22

By Gwen, on August 22nd, 2010
  • First minute to myself all day. So what do I do? Check twitter of course. #
  • The zombies ate my brains. It seems like the night for it. #
  • Sigh, the boys want to go to the beach, I want to go to bed. The thought of baking with no shade has very little appeal. #
  • Also the thought of running after a toddler has even less appeal. Think I can get away with the wading pool on the balcony? #
  • FTR it is ok with the boys to have the wading pool on the balcony w/boats & shovels & buckets. Woot! Now no worries about the sun, shade FTW #
  • God I hope the trip to the pool is worth the hour of getting ready. #sofrustratedalready #
  • Had lunch. Now onto the swimming. :) #
  • Aidan is now a fish and Quinlan hates the water. It is looking more like the hair/eyes and water genes are evenly distributed. :) #
  • I love that quinlan tells me in no uncertain terms when he is hungry. Aidan still doesn't always do that. #brotherssodifferent #
  • I am thinking of having several versions of Personal Jesus as my ringtones. Johnny Cash for serious calls, phonebooth mix for family etc. #
  • Boy # 1 still asleep. I'll give him 15 more minutes till I wake him up to get dressed. If I didn't have an appointment I'd let him sleep. #
  • I think boy #1 has his first migraine. #sucksthatitishereditary :( #
  • Had a good long talk with my cousin Alex. It is hard to imagine that I used to babysit him as a toddler. #Iamsooldyetsoyoung #
  • Not only do I not have a school supply list, but there are no PD days listed for Tennyson on the VSB site. I need to plan. #Schoolsatrssoon #
  • The school website is a disaster. Where is the actual information? School supply lists, calendar, actual links? #
  • Has anyone in a Vancouver school got a school supply list for kindergarten? I'd like to be prepared. #
  • Anthony's grandmother died yesterday evening on what would have been his mother's 61st birthday. He is heading back to NS tonight. #sucks #
  • It wasn't unexpected, but still. The boys & I are staying in Vancouver because 3 cross-country flights in <3 months is too much for the kids #
  • Off to pick up the fabulous pics from @Bopomopics. Wait till you see the one of Quinlan in his @Chillmonkeys hat! #
  • Seriosly thinking of this as a modeling headshot. Now you know why it is so hard to say no! http://twitpic.com/2gmxx9 #
  • .@AnthonyFloyd Aidan wants to go to bed when Quinlan does. I think I will oblige. #
  • Let's play Words With Friends on the iPhone, iPod Touch or iPad! My username is 'Gwen Floyd'. http://bit.ly/2qbpQ #
  • So I should really put me and my sore throat to bed. #thisweekendmightreallysuck #
  • Heading out to CApilkano Susupension bridge. Yeah priviledge pass. :) #
  • Never type in a hurry. You heard it from me first. #typosgalore #
  • Time to go down for reset number 1 of what I think might be many. #missedthesleepwindow #
  • I am taking this cold to mean that if there is a god, she doesn't love me right now. #moviedaytomorrow #worstsummerever #

  • So after a very expensive summer I finally find a place that looks perfect for us in Kerrisdale. I guess I need to win a lottery. :P #

  • Check out the newly live @chillmonkeys site with the cute models. http://bit.ly/9Kk4Qo Oh, & maybe buy some Canadian made hats for boys. :) #
  • My iPhone has apparently shipped. Of course Canada Post doesn't seem to know this yet. :P #
  • Also, Quinlan is already down for a nap. I am not sure what this says about how our day is going to go. 2nd nap whilst Aidan is at daycamp? #
  • I will! RT @BCCHF: Tomorrow is #miracletreatday! What blizzard flavour at DQ will you treat yourself to on behalf of BC Kids? #
  • Figured out why Q is cranky today (and is on his 2nd nap) fever. Still low grade but enough to be a bit of a pain. #nomoresummersickies #
  • I feel for my little boy with a fever on a hot day. I had to wake him to go get his brother from day camp. #feverinthesummersucks #
  • Sigh, wonder what is going around. Aidan is having a very hard time playing a game where Mommy might win. I think it is time for a nap. #
  • Yes I have confirmed it. Aidan also has a fever. They should be fun at an open house tonight. #summerfeverssuck #
  • Treehouse to the rescue. Are We There Yet? featuring New York. Aidan and Q both watching. #

  • La Belle Patate on Davie? http://bit.ly/cUgbJg RT@feliciaday: Quick poll: What's the best poutine in Vancouver? #
  • So another open house tonight. I am not sure if I am hoping for or against this one. The stress of moving right now might not be worth it. #
  • RT @BCCHF: Today is the day! It's #miracletreatday! All proceeds from Blizzards sold at DQ in BC go towards BC kids! #
  • Blizzards have no calories today! It is #miracletreatday at all DQ's. Proceeds go to @BCCHF and benefit all BC kids. #
  • Do I save myself & bring A to day camp to let them deal w/his meltdowns? Or do I force him to take a nap now & forfeit daycamp? #conflicted #
  • Part of the fun that is miracle tret day. http://twitpic.com/2e3irs #
  • Weird, that is why I am getting comment on an old post. FB is not getting my posts till a week later. #facebookfail #
  • So do I wake the boys to go star watching? Hmm I guess not. Totally gonna do it when they are older. #meteorshowersrock #
  • Waiting impatiently for my iPhone to arrive. @CanadaPost please hurry up. :) #
  • iPhone is here. Whew! #
  • x-box playing a dvd, netbook on lap and iPhone on knee. Too much technology? #

  • waiting with the boys for Anthony to get some food. then home and nap. #
  • How, with lack of sleep and going to bed at 7 pm last night, is Quinlan up right now? Trying playing in the dark to get him back to bed. #
  • It feels like I have been up for ever . . . wait, I have. I am enforcing nap time at the Floyd household. #
  • "Mommy I wasn't chasing Quinlan, I was chasing a monster that was chasing Quinlan." QED: He wasn't disobeying me. #thelogicof5yearolds #

  • Just in case anyone thought I actually sewed the kobo cover, think iron and fuse tape. :) #
  • I like that Aidan knows that Q (the show) is being hosted by Terry O'Reilly of the @AgeofPersuasion today. He is an @CBC junkie. #

  • RT @AnthonyFloyd:Fun doing biz int'l. Q on a form: Do you employ child labour? Boss' kid put together Lego airplane for us, does that count? #
  • Quinlan just bit himself. I swear this is better than me biting him. Now he just needs to equate biting with hurting. #
  • Is it wrong that whenever I hear or see "Musical nooners" by @cbcvancouver my mind goes to a totally different place than intended? #
  • I can't believe I am so unmotivated. Ok, getting out the door now. See you soon. #
  • Quinlan has developed a little boy sense of humour. He is now trying to feed me imaginary food with a backhoe. #surroundedbyboys #
