Before we get knee deep in what we\u2019re up to, we\u2019d both like to send out a Happy Mother\u2019s Day<\/b> to all the mothers we know. Today is a special day where we get give a little back to those who sacrifice the most for us. Especially when you consider how we get here\u2026 and then add on the years of turmoil we give them from that point forward. \ud83d\ude42<\/h3>\n

This week was a\u00a0 very busy week to say the least. I had something to do every single night this week, in addition to my day job. But the good news is that all of it was fun. We\u2019re still knee deep in the renovations and that planning is still fun. We\u2019re excited right now at what we have come up with for the kitchen through Home Depot<\/a>. The wall can still come out between the dining room and we can still have cabinets we like and not be absolutely broke in doing so. One night we spent at Rona<\/a> and another at Home Depot. Two hours both times. As soon as we have a picture of the design plan, I\u2019ll try and get it up here to keep the progress in a place that we can look at years from now and laugh or cry about.<\/p>\n

Also this week was The Strokes<\/a> show at the John Labatt Centre<\/a> downtown. Opening for them was The Most Serene Republic<\/a> that I was quite excited to hear we\u2019re added to the bill. I got hooked on them when they were an iTunes Music Store\u00a0 \u2013 \u00a0 Free Song of the Week and also from one of the shows on CHRW<\/a>, which the host loves them and plays them quite a bit. They were fantastic. But The Strokes\u2026 I was a little apprehensive about how they might be live as the do have that low-fi, kinda-we-don\u2019t-give-a-shit sound, and I was worried they\u2019d come on stage all coked out and would suck. But, they did anything but. They were loud, tight and played all the right songs. It was an incredible show. Not a lot of witty banter in between \u2013 just great, loud rock. I was reminded a lot of when my brother Greg & I saw The Ramones<\/a> right here in London (at Kiplings no less), back in \u201992.<\/p>\n

And tonight we\u2019re going to see Hawksley Workman<\/a> at Aoelian Hall<\/a>.<\/p>\n

And this week I also procured my tickets for Wilco<\/a> at Centennial Hall<\/a>. And Dashboard Confessional<\/a> at the John Labatt Centre. This is shaping up to be a great summer for me and musicians I like. The best part about it of course, is that I don\u2019t have to leave the city for it.<\/p>\n

Oh! Next week, we have a long-awaited and much needed visit with our good friend Mary-Ellen<\/a> and we finally get to meet the most important man in her life, Baby Joshua!<\/p>\n

As you can see from John\u2019s post we had a very busy week. It was a week of back and forth decisions on the renovations but we are finally at a place where we are really happy with the design and the materials, now we just need to finalize a contractor to do the construction. The drama continues\u2026<\/p>\n

Well today is Mother\u2019s Day – in the last 12 years this has been one of my saddest days of the year, my mom\u2019s death changed my definition of this day. It makes me so sad that I can not tell her face to face that I love her with all my heart and that I miss her. This year is especially difficult because this was supposed to be my first mother\u2019s day. A few tears have been shed over this realization but we hope more than anything that this time next year I will be holding a child of our own and celebrating Mother\u2019s Day and that this day will make me happy again.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
