Wow! Its been some time since I posted. The days are flying by and the end of the year is near.
I am looking forward to the time off and the chance to relax and maybe finish the book I've been reading for almost 2 freakin' months.
I would like to wish you all a very merry christmas and a super happy new year. All the best to you and your family in 2011.
Take Care, Don't Drink & Drive, Stay Alive!

Good with the Bad
Call me a terrible person, why not, others have but I have one item on my list that really makes me go hmmmmm....
School, as a kid my parents may have darkend the school corridor a few times, no more than 5 times max!
Nowadays the parents are constantly at the school, dropping off, picking up, helping out, fundraising, you name it the parents are always there for one reason or another. Those of us who aren't at the school as much still find ourselves there enough times throughout the school year.
During those times we are interacting with the other mom's & dads of the children from our childs classroom or grade.
Now I have to say I've met some pretty cool mom's & dad's and I've been some humdingers! Oh you heard me humdingers is the best phrase I can come up with, I could call them twitheads but that just doesn't have the same affect. I find those are the ones who most of all try to talk me more, all the while I am conversing with another mom who is way more fun.
Please! Stop, your kid isn't very nice, no they aren't that good of friends from what my kid says, leave me alone! Sure a playdate, anytime, just call me, we are usually busy but I'll do my best....NOT!
Why is it nowadays when our kids go to school so do we?

Ta-Not
Oh the thought of sitting and wrapping gift after gift.....the daunting task that is fallen onto the woman of the house. Spare me please!
I hated the gift buying this year. People are becoming more and more difficult to buy for?
Plus the number of people who are still buying items for themselves!!!! WTF? Stop it!
My mother told me on the weekend that she bought herself and beautiful pair of red pajama's and can't seem to find matching red slippers, I said "well I hope you don't" and she got all offended because she wasn't quick enough to realize I bought her pretty silk candy striped PJ's with fluffly, pretty red slippers!!!!!! Duh people!
Can you say annoying?
I am the kind of gift giver who wants the show stoppers, I want to buy something for you that will make you say "oh my" and talk about for days.......that isn't happening this year. My MoJo completely failed me this season. Although I did not buy anyone junk or crap I just don't have that little kid/elf like feeling I usually get when I buy gifts for people, I am that person in the aisle with a big grin on my face thinking "oh this person is gonna LOVE what I bought them".....nope totally not this year. I don't have that loving feeling anymore :(
Maybe I need to put the tree up, although that isn't slated until next weekend? Who the hell has time anyway?
Our first party is on Friday night, maybe that is what I need to feel the Christmas Cheer.
Although I'm still not wrapping all those gifts by myself!!! I refuse.
My DD was a little upset last night when I said here wrap these gifts (for friends), gave her the paper, tape & tags and said 'have at r'......she cut the paper too short, couldn't hold it and tape at the same time and she cried and flipped and flopped around and realized "whoa mom is not having any of this", I just kept reading my book! She figured it out. Eventually :)

I'm Not!
I think I'm a bear and preparing for hybernation?
Lots of people would mistake me for a bear but honestly I think this winter I may really be one?
I am so tired, I am drug right out, knock down tired.
I went to bed last night at 9:30, out by 9:45 and still my eyelids feel like they have weights in them.
I "think" it has something to do with my new allergy shots I am receiving, the shit head Dr. has been giving me shots for almost 2 years and we finally discovered (because I asked) the cat allergin was NOT included in it! WTF? Awe man!
So I now have to go for the next 22 weeks to get caught up to my other vaccine, yes I said 22 weeks, pray to god I don't get sick or screw this up because that is a disaster, trust me, been there done that!
I am on week #3 of the weekly shots and I am so tired and wore out, my body is fighting so hard.
I am going to the gym, eating better than ever and taking extra vitamins to keep going, my god this might kill me.

Update
The good news is that I am still alive, I didn't realize it has been so long since I have blogged. Whoa!
Life has been flying by, I can hardly believe we are headed straight into December. What a whirlwind month this has been.
People just get crazier, the more hope you hold out that they will come to their senses....they don't.
Work has been a struggle, thank god I get paid to attend.
Life has been hard to manage lately but that isn't just my DD's fault it is mine as well.
I have dropped a few items from my schedule and that will help.
For those of you who know that my DD is now playing Hockey your probably thinking I'm nuts for adding another activity but to be completely honest I don't think I am, this is something close to home, it will keep her invovled in her community and it is a "active" activity.
I feel our children do not receive enough physical activity and my goal has to been put her in things that work her body. Without her noticing of course :-)
With the new dance level she is in she comes out of the studio drenched in sweat and her legs hurt, that is fantastic! I love it. Her little red cheeks and that big smile because she has so much fun. Yeah!
Horses - all that poop she shovels and the carrying and lifting of water and the riding is working her muscles and she doesn't even realize it because she is having so much fun! Yeah!
and now Hockey too, yep work her little body up, make her heart pump, something we should all have more of.
So yeah call me crazy but that is my update and I'll climb down off my soapbox and practice what I preach, its time to go to the gym for moi and work my body over!

Deep
I just had a very lengthy chat with my oldest brother. All I can do is sit back and say - "whoa dude!"
That poor bugger!
I feel so bad for him, he never thought life would be like this for him. All he wants is someone to love him. Since his wife passed away he has been on the eternal search for happiness - in all of the wrong places I might add! Geesh!
I can see all kinds of wrongs but who am I to judge, I love him to pieces and I wouldn't want him any different, he wouldn't be my brother if he was.
His recent conquest is not working out so well, which given the circumstances I predicted from the get go but hey! Not my call. Whatever, been down this road with him a lot.
He told me he was the "Leave it to Beaver kind of guy, who wants the house, kids and the white picket fence", I laughed out loud and said "um no I'm sorry you are so NOT that person, even when you were with T you weren't that guy, you are a "fast" lane kind of guy". LOL He agreed with me :)
Our convo got pretty deep, for me being the younger of two he commented on who would have expected it was ME giving HIM advice all these years? Yeah tell me about it, him being 17 years my senior I certainly did not anticipate that.
I told him a relationship is never easy and never perfect all you can look for is someone you can live with / tolerate. I know "they" talk about soul mates all the time and how wonderful it is to find them but honestly......lets be honest with ourselves....do you believe there is one person in this world you would love, love, love EVERYTHING about them? Really?
Now I know I am pessimistic, totally dude but come on?
Lets be real, nothing is perfect. I do not know 1 relationship where 1 or both partners *LOVE* everything about their partner. It isn't possible? Is it?
All we can do is hope we find someone who finds value in us and us and in them, who cares enough to want to look after us and us them, someone who has no interest in other companions - only us, someone who feels that sharing a life together would (for the most part) work out well?
Am I right? It is what I tell myself? What do you say?

Jerks!
People! OMG! People!
They piss me off.
Does anybody not think, can you say shit for brains?
There are people I'd like to smack for being so darn stupid and rude and inconsiderate.
If only you knew how stupid you look to everyone else acting like a little kid, how unprofessional of you. Grow the hell up and put on your big boy pants and deal with it buddy, you can't your cake and eat it too.
Now stomp off and go cry in the corner!

Is it?
4:30 yet?
My god this week is travelling so freakin' slow. I am so happy Friday is coming.
This has been the week from hell for my attitude. Talk about grizzly bear!!! Whoa Man!
Look the hell out!
I am tired, wore right out.
This is the last week of my being out 4 nights per week since September. I know call me crazy but 2 nights were for me! Kick boxing and Boot camp. Unfortunately they ended. How sad.
But I have to say I am grateful because I was tired.
I can't stop eating chips and now with Halloween here I am going to be royally screwed! Oh and those little chocolate bars......I eat 4 at a time. What the hell am I doing? Its been a long time since I've done that, my body is screaming for it, how do all of these other nut bars go on a "sugar cleanse"? I'd rather die than do that?
Crazy Fools!

Ugh! Ack! Eeek! No don't make me!
I can't stop eating and no I'm not pregnant!
My monthly aunt is coming to visit any minute and I am so out of it, dazed and confused to say the least.
I want chips and chocolate with a Dr. Pepper, in all honesty if anyone had any kind of food in front of me I'd naw their arm off. But I'm not hungry.
My pants didn't feel right this morning, I had to change them, double yuck.
I am tired, wiped right out.
I am fighting with myself inside aobut going to the gym, I made myself yesterday and did a piss poor attempt, pathetic!
I sit here and do not want to hit the gym today, it happens every month during this week but I refuse to let it bring me down and ruin my good ways.
Damn I really don't want to go, its cold outside and rainy, I could stay in and read my book?
Nope I'm going - I think?

I really hate that word but at this very moment I cannot think of one other word to describe how I feel.
I have a ton of work to do and have absolutely no motivation to do anything at all.
Damn I hate days like this!

If only.....
If men knew just how much women talk about them, their looks, their clothes, their smiles, their physical features or what might be or not be?
Whoa!
I just spent most of the afternoon assessing someone with 2 other female co-workers, what we think this person's attributes are.
At one point my Director walked by and asked me if my e-mail was that good, I guess the perma grin I was wearing was causing concern to some? I had a few people ask me what I was up to......
Woops!
Who knew women were so bad, we can talk smack about the guys too?
My sides hurt from laughing so hard and the shocking confessions that were told today.
I can't wait til tomorrow.

Mornings Seriously Suck!
It is back to school and back to the grind of routines.
The last 3 days have been hell on earth and I'm ready to run far away. My patience (what little I had) are gone down the drain.
Day #3 of that hard headed kid having no TV at night.
Ack! Hear me running away screaming!!!
Please god help me!

Run Fast, Far, Far Away!
Whoa baby!
I am super duper moody, ever feel this way?
I mean I feel like a bear who hasn't eaten in days and someone stole her baby cubs to boot.
My mood is right off the charts, likely the worse it has ever been.
It is so bad I am thinking things and saying "OMG! You are horrible, calm down woman".
It is that bad.......the stupidest of things set me off. I just want to cover my head and go to bed.
God help anyone in my path today..........I don't like this at all.

The Angels want to my Red Shoes!
Elvis Costello sums it up very well for me, it is one of his first songs from 1977
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ab_IO-SlK5w&p=773F4F9F76361BCB&index=4&playnext=1
Oh, I used to be disgusted, and now I try to be amused
But since their wings have got rusted
You know the angels wanna wear my red shoes
But when they told me 'bout their side of the bargain
That's when I knew that I could not refuse
And I won't get any older
Now the angels wanna wear my red shoes
Oh, I was watching while you're dancing away
Our love got fractured in the echo and sway
How come everybody wants to be your friend?
You know that it still hurts me just to say it
Oh, I know that she's disgusted (oh, why's that)
Cause she's feeling so abused (oh, that's too bad)
She gets tired of the lust (oh, I'm so sad)
But it's so hard to refuse
How can you say that I'm too old
When the angels have stolen my red shoes
Oh, I said I'm so happy, I could die
She said drop dead, then left with another guy
That's what you get if you go chasing after vengeance
Ever since you got me punctured
This has been my sentence
Oh, I used to be disgusted, and now I try to be amused
But since their wings have got rusted
You know the angels wanna wear my red shoes
But when they told me 'bout their side of the bargain
That's when I knew that I could not refuse
And I won't get any older
Now the angels wanna wear my red shoes
And I won't get any older
Now the angels wanna wear my red shoes
Red shoes, the angels wanna wear my red shoes
Red shoes, the angels wanna wear my red shoes....
Mama bought a pair of Red Shoes, I may have sold my soul to the devil for them but who cares, I cannot wait to paint the town red in them. Bring on the parties!!!! I may find a way to wear them on Halloween! LOL

Huh?
What the Heck?
Try thinking for yourself sometime, you might actually appear way more intelligent than you actually are.....relying on everyone else makes you look stupid.

Ack!
OMG! I am screaming inside right now.
Please explain to me where people get off inviting other people to something when they have been the invited person in the first place?
My God people. I just don't get it. Have some manners, or at least ask the person who invited you if that would be alright and even though I would prefer to say no out of having manners I would say yes.
I invited someone to attend a free community function with me in the upcoming weeks, she and I have been friends for a while and I thought it would be nice to get to know her and her child better. She agreed we would travel together.
The next thing I know I am getting an e-mail from one of my other friends whom I am distancing away from because frankly I don't care for the kids behaviour, it is a pain in the ass and extremely annoying when told no. The last person I would have invited was that person and kid. Oh by the way I did NOT invite them, someone else did and then in the end that non-invited person says well why don't you (the person I did invite) travel with me and meet ME there? Um hello? WTF? So now I have to put up with you and said child AND travel by myself? How the fuck did that happen?
So I have decided to go and maybe I'll see them and maybe I won't, either way to hell with them.
Stop inviting other people especially when you were the invited person, it is rude. Some people don't care but I do, stop it.

So now I have to put up with you and said child AND travel by myself? How the fuck did that happen?
So I have decided to go and maybe I'll see them and maybe I won't, either way to hell with them.
Stop inviting other people especially when you were the invited person, it is rude. Some people don't care but I do, stop it.

Skool
It is back to the grindstone for another year, a big kid year, the big kids side of the playground, staying later at school, more clubs to choose from, senior choir - oh my and last but not least French Immersion.
I am so happy with the first week of school, it has gone by without anything negative - Hooray! That is a total bonus.
Every night I have been rushing into the bookbag looking for homework - NONE! Hooray! Yippee Yahoo!
She is even dressing more stylish this year, she is all upset with me because I only dropped off her new jeans tonight to be hemmed, they are 4 inches too long - eek! Short little bugger eh?
Oh well, she has some very cute clothes.
Although, a note was sent out today reminding parents that children must be dressed in the proper attire on gym days so that is totally going to cut into the cut jeans and tall boots but as soon as they tell me the exact days, I will follow the protocol :( the jeans and boots are so darn cute though.
A list of the clubs she is intending to join has already been made, she comes home at night singing french songs and babbling like a monkey about her fabulous days! I am so thrilled.
Now I hope I can make it through this year unscathed?
My little girl is growing up and I don't know if I am ready?

Come C Me
Its Election Time!!
We all know what that means with the annoying billboards, radio ads, tv commercials and the knocking at your door and lets not forget the "we missed you" door hanger.
Why come during the day, aren't the people you really want as voters are the average people who work and have kids?
I'd like to discuss my issues here.
The PC's say they want to re-visit the French Immersion Grade 3 program if elected. Are you nuts? Screw off and quite messing with our children's lives. I heard that and almost jumped out of the car while driving, I was cursing and swearing at the radio, I'm sure the person beside me at the light thought I was a sailor in another lifetime.
You want my opinion on French Immersion and Bilingualism in this province? Well I don't care, here goes. If you want a Bilingual province then so be it, stop segregating children by their geographical location, stop having a French District Board and an English, your drawing lines in the sand. You say you need the Bilingual numbers to go up well do it, every single child in the province of NB should be starting out in NB from Kindergarten learning both languages 50/50 with the exact same curriculum everywhere in this fine province, stop saying its about dollars and cents, yes it is about man-power and not having enough teachers but I know of 5 brand new teachers coming out of UNB who are all bilingual, that is fantastic!!!!! If I know 5 how many more are there?
If this province is going to be bilingual then be bilingual and teach our children fair is fair, children in Neguac would have the same curriculum as kids in Burtts Cornera 50/50 learning of both languages.
My other pet peeve is the MLA's fighting back and forth and wasting money and tax dollars, stop trying to undo and re-do everything thats been done, how about you listen to your voters rather than listening to your party, grow a pair and do what we put you in there to do, your job of representing us?
Phew! Ok I got it out. Deep Breath!

....and away we go
It is September already, can you believe it? Our summer has ended, what a bummer, I wish I had more vacation, I wish it did not have to get cold and snowy.
We are neck deep into our first week of school. My kiddo is tickled pink by her teacher, she is very happy with her classmates and loving every minute of it. Boy I sure hope it stays that way, this morning she was listing off all the clubs she plans to join, for the last 3 years she has been all huffy by the amount of other clubs only available to the grades 3-5, I had to keep reminding her she will soon be there and she can be in those clubs. Well now she is and I think she might join every single club going.
I love the first day of school, everything is new, the kids have a new start and everyone is so happy. Oh what bliss.
Now if we can keep it that way?

M-I-A
I am waiting for a text from my friend April to say she has arrived in the city and will soon be at my office. It has been forever since I've seen her, the last time I saw her was sometime in February!
I know since February, its been forever.
She still isn't feeling good, her tumour has her feeling terrible and she can't drive herself now, although the doctors will not remove it until it gets to a certain size. How frustrating, when she feels so crappy, it has lasted forever, she can't be her normal self and do normal every day things.
When a person gets any kind of sickness at all that lasts they sure do fall into a lot of problems and sitting and waiting on the medical profession to actually take action! It really sucks when your the person living this hell and family included.
So back to my excitement about her coming.......I wish she'd just call already!!!!
I have missed her so much, talking on the phone and texting and stuff is great but not the same as seeing someone, even only for a quick minute.
We never got to have our birthday dinners or anything :(
We are exchanging B-day gifts, gifts from our friend Lisa who was in Egypt who brought us both some nice goodies......I am just so happy to be seeing her!!
Yeah me!

Holy!
Why should it be so hard to go on vacation and even harder to catch up when you come back? It is day 4 of my return and I can finally breathe.
Did I mention after only being gone 2 weeks I am whiped right out, tired as hell.
I wonder if its because I'm working extra harder this week? Should that entitle me to double the pay?
I'll have to inquire about that?

Totally
Totally what?
Heck I don't know. I am totally sorry my vacation time is almost at the end.
I am totally sorry I have wait another 2 weeks before my dad has his biopsy and I see he is so sad it makes me want to cry, he also looks sicker than he was, can the mind play such nasty tricks on you? I see it, the others do not.
Am I totally sorry I have no family to talk to this about? Hell yeah
My time as coaching ball this summer ends on Sunday, another thing gone for another year.
I have all of the school supplies and clothing purchased and I don't want to hang it up or put it away.
I am totally something.....

from this day forward.....
Here I sit at a such a sense of loss I feel like I've been punched in the gut and left for dead. The news I was told late last evening has kept me awake most of the night tossing and turning and thinking, all I do is think and my brain is going to explode, it will not turn off about what I should do, should say, shouldn't do, shouldn't say, I have not a clue. I do know I have to stand up and deal with what the coming months have in store for me, regardless how heavy my heart is.
My father is being scheduled for another biopsy on his throat, 11 years later and here we sit again at the same time of year. 1 day before my vacation. I had the same reaction as I did then, although the information the doctor gave us 11 years ago is as clear in mind as it was the day he told it to me.
He said we were very lucky to have detected it in its early stages because people with throat cancer rarely survive, radiation is the only form of treatment unfortunately we can only perform radiation 1 time on the same spot, the likelyhood of it returning is very high if he does not quit smoking. The next time he won't be so lucky.
Here we sit again, waiting for a call from the hospital for him to go in for a biopsy, I know I may be jumping the gun but I've expected this news for many years, it has been laying low hoping I would forget, but I haven't.
Mom & Dad leaned on me a lot last time, I went to every doctors appointment, the doctors would call me after hours to answer any concerns or questions anyone had, I was his voice he didn't have. The day they made the plaster cast in Saint John to prepare for his radiation we sat there and watched, we drove him to Saint John on Sunday evenings and dropped him off to the hostile for his week of radiation and every week was like the first day of dropping your child off at daycare, it hurt every time. I do want to point out 1 or 2 siblings took him or picked him up a couple of times.
They have once again asked me to be the "spokesperson" for all appointments and doctors information in order to get it correct and not miss anything. *sigh* do I feel stressed and given too much responsibilty? Hell Yes. Do I think I can handle it again? I have no choice, everyone else would prefer nothing is really wrong and he's tough as nails and will out live us all. I'm sorry but that isn't true either.
So before I tear up again......I'll finish this post.

Bun in the Oven
No! Not me! Don't get all cute or nuthin', totally not me.
We have friends who have been good friends for at least 10 years if not longer, we played ball together, partied together, you name it.
This couple has 2 children, who at the time were 6 & 2, boy and girl.
The little girl who is the older child struggled in school and the little boy was quite a handful (it was always chalked up to being a boy), the girl on the other hand the teachers stepped in and said "she should be medicated" and wouldn't you know the meds brought her right down off her ADHD? Or whatever they want to call it.
Through the years she has left home, been terrible and her parents blamed themselves, said it was their parenting and they both took course upon course on parenting, they spent many nights in night school at UNB and so on.
Fast Forward to 10 years and about 4 mths ago this little girl had a baby girl by a man, I said MAN (who is almost 10 years her senior) who has been married before and has no job or none to speak of that I can gather? She is living with her parents, graduated from high school (barely) and has a baby 4 months old.
I see just now (her baby is 4 mths old I said) and she posted on her FB that she is PREGNANT AGAIN and happy about it!
Holy Phawk!
Are you mental? Really? For the f'ing love of god please! Did you ever think who might support these children other than everyone else but you my dear child? You are a child raising a child, what the hell?
I am flabbergasted! AND to top it all off, people are congratulating her! Are you f'ing serious people?
I want to say "what a shame". That would be my response, sorry to hear that are you giving it up to a family who can raise it and afford it because grammy & grampy have no more rocks in the backyard to ring out on you?
Ok I'll jump down from my soap box but all I can say it is that young woman has a lifetime of difficult days ahead of her, because if she thinks that loser jerk sperm daddy is going to stick around to see these kids through their first 18 years of life she is sorely mistaken.
Forever is never forever!

U Spin me Right Round Baby - Right Round!
People are the following:
Inconsiderate
Uneducated
Rude
Unsensored
Nosey
You name it. Lately I've come across all kinds.
I am selling stuff on kijiji and these fools truely think nothing of offering me $5 for something I have $20 listed on. I stopped replying to those messages, not worth my time one little bit.
I had one person ask me if I had anything else to sell because they'd like to have first dibs...well how about you look at what I already have then we'll talk?
Another told me they could buy something I had cheaper on E-bay I offered they go right ahead, enjoy the duty and shipping charges! They bought from me!
Then I have the others that I need to say are wonderful, so easy, fast and polite. Genuinely recognize a deal when they see one. Those are the people who make it way easier to sell to.
I have received personal messages and FB notes asking me if I'm getting out of crafting all together? Nope, totally not, I just am not using the stamps and inks and they are going to waste so I might as well receive some of my return back and use the money for other gains in my life currently.
What really hurts is the fact I have spent close to $1,000 in the past 7 years on those supplies. Holy Moly!

Let me Tell U
What the hell is up the clothing industry? I mean really, why the *F* can't you get your sizes standardized, who are you fooling, really Double 0? What the hell, its nothing!
It would be nice to know exactly what f'in size a person is because I am sick and tired of going to rack and feeling really good about myself knowing I can wear a 14 and then trying the fuckin' 14 on and can't get it past my thunder thighs! That is just cruel!
I went to Value Village yesterday becuase everyone else is sick of watching me yank up my pants or watching them fall off of me.
I went ready to the dressing room, I tried on 13, 14, 15, 16's, I had a huge arm load and came out with 4 items that fit, 3 pairs of capri pants whose sizes were 13, 14, 16. What a stupid thing to do, make all those sizes different, my body is the same but my pant size is not? um why not?
Then I made the huge mistake to try and find a pair of jeans, I wanted to run out of the dressing room like I was on flaming fire!!! Likely with the f'in jeans around my f'in ankles because in the jean world I also have fat ankles too! Oh and even fatter calfs! Which would have only sent me face first into the dirty VV floor trapped under the kids clothing rack with stupid skinny jeans around my ankles and bright yellow panties to be seen by every person there!
I was so pissed off by tring on jeans yesterday, and no I did not find jeans to fit my fat ass!
I don't care what anyone says, size does matter, there is a reason Jerry Seinfeld cut the tag out of his jeans. It wasn't because he was vain, it was because the jean companies and every fashion person out there kept fucking up the sizes!!!

4 Real?
People really do suck don't they? How rude, ignorant, idiodic can people be? Then they are all allowed to go out and pro-create, just like that.
Snap! Kids, you idiots should never be allowed to teach kids anything.
Sunday night this happened and I am still pissed off!
For those of you who have never volunteered, you have no idea what kind of time it takes away from me nor what is involved to make anything successful by, it takes up my time, energy and lots of stress!
Sunday night we had a game, it was a fabulous game. After every home game and practice we have treats that are supplied by the local businesses or parents such as popsicles, freezies, fudgcicles, etc.......
We had a parent donate a full box of XL Mr. Freezes, 70 of them, we cut them in half for the kids, they are now all gone and we are going to move onto popsicles, by the way, my freezer if full of treats for the kids and I can't put my own food in my f'in freezer, but who really cares right?
So Sunday night my DH was packing up equipment, crouched down on the ground when a kid and parent walk past and must not of haven seen him, do you know what they said? You are never going to guess.......they said:
"all that work for half a freezie"
DH turned around but all the parents and kids were standing there so he isn't sure who it was, I was livid when we got home and he told all of us coaches what was said.
It was a mother who said it.
You ungrateful bastards! If it weren't for the kids I'd totally not be doing this, other teams don't do that, when I was a kid you paid your money for the coach to teach you how to play ball not to babysit your kids and give them treats!
I'm still pissed.
The phone calls to coaches and businesses, ordering trophies and ball cards, planning and doing line ups, practices, etc......really????
PHUCK!
Please someone make me feel better!

Dreaming
I am dreaming of my vacation, I was suppose to be starting my vacation today but we ended up changing everything because we received a fantastic deal on a condo and couldn't pass it up so I now have to wait 3 more weeks before I have some time off.
My DH is in the back yard building a sugar shack today with his day off, what is a sugar shack you may ask? Well its where you produce Maple Syrup. Yes, he is building a little shack where he has a steel drum stove and a great big pop that the lines attached to trees will drain into the pot and boil. In the past years we've only tapped a few trees and made enough bottles for ourselves and a couple for family.
Basically DH wants a place to have some men hang out and drink. A guys hut if you will.
We also made a fire pit in our back yard. I say we but not really, it was all him. We had friends out Saturday night to enjoy a bonfire and roast mashmellows and make s'mores. It was a lot of fun until it rained on us but that was fine, the cool water felt great.
Stay cool my friends! Enjoy your week.

Yes, he is building a little shack where he has a steel drum stove and a great big pop that the lines attached to trees will drain into the pot and boil. In the past years we've only tapped a few trees and made enough bottles for ourselves and a couple for family.
Basically DH wants a place to have some men hang out and drink. A guys hut if you will.
We also made a fire pit in our back yard. I say we but not really, it was all him. We had friends out Saturday night to enjoy a bonfire and roast mashmellows and make s'mores. It was a lot of fun until it rained on us but that was fine, the cool water felt great.
Stay cool my friends! Enjoy your week.

P
I am very dehydrated from yesterday, I worked out, had ball practice, drank a coffee, drank 2 beer and got very over heated, now I am trying to recouperate today so tell me....
Why is it I am drinking so much and pee'ing all the time, why isn't my body absorbing it? Why?
Inquiring minds want to know?

Monday & the days prior
Good Morning Blog World!
It is Monday again! How did that happen so fast?
I am not going to complain about the rain, it allowed me a full day at home yesterday, I never went outside once, not once! I got lots done, had a nap and enjoyed the day!
Saturday the kids softball tourney was cancelled due to rain, some parents were a little suspicious because it wasn't raining when they cancelled, but lo n' behold by 9:30 it was pouring! Good Call Coach Bobby!
I suggested to DH that we skip over to houlton so I can get some Green Mountain coffee and 100 calorie bagels, he then suggested lets go to Presque Isle and take your parents, they want to use their new passports! *Groan* ok!
My Mother! April calls it babysitting, I call it annoying. That woman puts me on edge before she ever arrives. She talked the entire trip over, when we were in Centreville she kept saying over and over that these people celebrated on July 4th, I said "where do you think we are mom", she said "USA of course", I said "do you recall giving a nice uniform man your passport yet", she said "no did I miss him", I said 'um no, we are still in C-A-N-A-D-A", she also questioned if he would give the passport back to her? Um yes.....(she was serious)
When we drove through Florenceville I pointed out the McCain Factory to her and she said "why is there one here? I thought they were only in Florenceville? "MOM we are in Florenceville"
OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I have no idea how many mindless stories she told me about this person and that person whom I have knowledge of them what so ever, although I should know them, even though they just moved back from timbucktoo only years ago because they went to school with my older brother, oh yes those people, yep know them.
Me reading a book didn't even slow her down, she kept right on talking and asking questions. Good Grief.
We purchased bats for the little kids, we were in desperate need of new bats, I told her what we were buying them for, she picked them up from the trunk to move them and said "M they are awfully short for you aren't they, how do you bat with those", I looked at her stunned and said "MOM I already said they aren't for us", "well who are they for then, why did you buy bats your not going to use", DD finally piped in and said "grammy they are for my team".....!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
OMFG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
On the drive home through Bristol she says "Jack are we in Millville?, nobody answered her, until DH says "nope we are coming back the way we came, this is Bristol", she says "oh I never been to Bristol before" Really never?
I know some of you are laughing your arse off thinking of all those other past stories about my mom and I. I am thinking, how sad is it that I get that upset when I am around my mother even before she arrives? While I have friends out there who are best friends with their mom, or no longer have a mom to go to? My mom and I have never had the relationship like some of you were or are so lucky to have. I have never been able to confide in her or ask her questions, half the time she can't remember my name (seriously).
I am green with envy over the mother/daughter relationships you all have with your moms! You are so lucky, I feel like my mom is an alien beamed down from outer space, she is a shell of a woman who has no beating organs inside her body. It is all make believe and her sole purpose is to annoy the hell out of me because we are so different.

The Other Side
I have been spending every single weekend at the barn. My DD is in love with the girls and horses and owner of the barn, Saturday had us at the barn at 8:30 AM and I had to drag her out of there at 1pm.
That darn kid would not leave, just one more stall mommy please, just one more horse to lead mommy please, just one more to feed mommy please! OMG kid!
Her toe got stepped on by one of the baby horses and she never came crying to me? What the heck? She didn't want me to make her go home! Her toe is all green/yellow from the baby horse.
Her "mentors" calmed her down and told her she was ok and that happens, if the mom horse had of stepped on her it would have been way worse, that made her feel better - go figure?
Then as she finished her lesson Gunther wiped his tail and hit her right across the face and in her eye, that made her cry, I was in the barn and missed that too (good grief) they put the cold hose on her face and that made her feel better.
I have to say these girls at the barn are very common sense, they don't get upset easily and they really are fabulous role models to the younger girls. They don't mind hard work, they love the outdoors, pain comes with the hard work and are very friendly.
ahhhh! This is the kind of girl I want my DD to be.

Whacking Stick, Space Balls and Butt Heads
When did I piss the gods off so bad that they decided to shine down on me today?
There was no consultation, it just keeps getting worse and worse!
Why me?
I've been such a good girl?
Fuck this sucks!
I got into work early this morning, working away, catching up, getting shit done when all of the sudden a manager comes in and "informs" me I have a room mate now!
Oh no who?
Who? Are you Serious? FUCK!
I'd rather rack my fucking eyes out and walk on hot coals then share my office with HIM!
Well guess what?
Gloves are off!
Game on dudes!
Fuck! Did I mention how much this is going to suck?
He is wearing a head set to talk to people, are you serious? Fucker!
Yeah that is totally not annoying.
He came in and in an effort to be funny removed my name plate and put his up, I told "have stick will use it". ha, ha, ha funny, so funny - no I'm fucking serious dude!

Check out the Birthday Cake
I want to send out a great BIG THANK YOU to Hollee for this absolute gorgeous creation!
Although I haven't tasted it yet. I'll keep you posted on that front :)
It is a BIG surprise for my Sister-In-Law's Birthday tomorrow, it was based on her own kitty Belle. She will love this!

Almost, not Quite
It's the last week of school, thank the good lord.
I am sick and tired of the girl drama.
I hate all girls, they suck!
I hate whining children!
I hate tattle tales!
I did what I said I wouldn't, that makes me mad!
It is time for the end of year to come and it couldn't come soon enough!
Bring on the last day of school so summer can really begin.

Owen, Owen, Owen
OMG! If I heard this kids name once I heard it 1000 times!
We met Owen and his family last summer at Jellystone and I wanted to stab myself in the eye. The dad never stops saying his name, he is a challenged child, I am not sure to what degree, either way the parents need some parental coaching.
Just my luck, their camper was beside ours - f'in perfect! Saturday AM 6:55 am, guess what I heard?
Owen, Owen, No Owen, come back Owen, Owen, Owen, Owen, by 7:45am Saturday morning I said to DH "I am so close to telling him to shut the fuck up, go over to the child you moron, stop just saying his fuckin' name!!!"
While in line waiting for the hayride they were behind us. How perfect for me! Yeah Me! NOT
Owen ran to the mini golf area and they "never noticed", a young couple were golfing when Owen ran up and grabbed one of thier golf balls and ran away, the young couple were like WTH? The mom says "did Owen take their golf ball?", the dad "I don't know, Owen did you take that golf ball?", I chime in, "yep he did"! The dad, the moron he is went over to get Owen and started walking back to the line, the mom said "have him take thier ball back", oh dad did he let Owen throw it at them, just missing the guy? As they started walking back the mom said "have him say he's sorry!", he runs over and the dad says "sorry"!!!
That's nothing, get this, Sunday AM as we were packing up, DH & DD watched Owen run over to someone else's camper and climb the stairs and barge into their camper, the woman was screeming get out, get out! She must have been changing! Owen ran out holding his ears!
Like come on! Had that been our camper, I'd be pissed! If your not going to watch him close enough to keep him out of other people's camper then tie him to the f'in tree, its not like you watch him close anyway!
He ran away often all weekend and they never bothered to look until 10-15 minutes later. Wow can you say trusting?
Wow!

PumPed
I am ready to hit the ball field, last night was our registration and I was a little worried if we'd have a full team or not but lo and behold our reputation preceeds us, we had many return because they love it and some new ones from word of mouth.
Every parent who came in raved about how much their kids loved it and how much fun they had last year and the parents were very happy with the way the program is run.
What a nice thing to hear when you only ever hear about the negative stuff or how it can be run differently.
Good grief people, it is a volunteer job and I give 110% to the kids. What more do you want?
Whatever! I do it for all the right reasons, because I love teaching the kids the skills and seeing them do so well makes me so happy. Kids are amazing creatures, and I think it is so sad when kids say "I can't" when we all know full well they can if they just try, I remember I had a teacher in grade 3 who wrote a note home to my mother saying "Melanie says she can't whenever she is encouraged to try something new, I do not allow those words in my classroom, we want the children to know "they can do anything".
I have adopted that motto, there is no such thing as I can't, although my DD rolls her eyes when I say that and that Practice makes Perfect! But it really does.
I have 19 amazing kids, some who haven't played before and others who have played all 4 years with us. We have a rocking bunch of kids who I suspect will rock the ball field this year.
Play Ball!!!!!!

Boot Camp Hell
I just got back!
I took a hot bath to soothe my poor crying muscles.
The instructor informed me that my dirty looks didn't scare her one bit, she only upped the push ups higher or made us do the plank for longer or she added extra time onto the jump squats...what an evil bitch......
Whom I think is awesome...that 24 year old little bitch almost made me cry tonight....damn she is good!

I'm thinking of lots of things......
I have lots of things going through my head right now, not 1 thing in particular I guess, so here are some highlights.
- I have a new dress on today that my DD picked out for me and everyone loves it, that makes me feel very good
- My dress is 2 sizes smaller than it was last year
- Thank god for Crystal Light lately
- My free weights have doubled in the past few months - yeah me
- I feel much stronger, my shoulders are looking defined - yeah me
- I love roasted veggies
- I do not enjoy talking on the phone at all anymore
- I don't like nasty annonymous comments, thats not nice at all
- I love big gawdy jewellry lately
- Shoes, Shoes, Shoes....I can't get enough
- I wish I were still at the concert, I wish I could do it all over again
- I miss Glee already
- My new favourite series is Nurse Jackie on HBO, it is AWESOME!!!
- I hate paperwork
- I wish I were scrapbooking right now, I put a bunch of pictures onto my USB key last night in anticipation to print some
- I wish I were at the gym right now too, but I can't do both can I? At the same time?
- I love my DD's new dresses she bought in the USA, they are so cute
- I love my new lunch bag, it looks like a purse but fits everything perfectly
- A co-worker tried to steal my lunch bag on Monday, its that cute
- Customer Service is important, Business Owners should make that their #1 priority!

RaIn
I know we need it but darn it all it puts a damper on my plans when there are outdoor activities to be had.
I had organzied a community Bike Rodeo for all the young kids in my area through the RCMP and school so our kiddo's would receive their certification on bike safety.
Darn it all!
Oh well, no badge being earned for that this year........
Darn it all and the worst part is I still have to take my kid to the meeting because they only have 1 week left.

Monday again? That was fast!
2 days are not long enough to have time off from work, how are we suppose to have fun and be able to clean and cook and do laundry? Without naps apparaently?
This past week I cannot get enough sleep, I am tired all the time, even though I am still going to the gym regularly, eating right and all that good stuff I am so tired, except for GLEE night I was sound asleep no later than 9:30 and the weekend wasn't all that different either.
I could lay my head down right now and have a quick nap too!
I think I need some red meat in my diet, I haven't had any in a few weeks and I find when I'm not eating it at least once a week I feel this way.
So its Monday again and here we go again, another fun filled week of school and work! Luckily it is a short week for me and I am looking forward to that!

Hallelujah
My foot is finally healed!!!
Unfortunately Jeanette caught what I had, plantar fasciitis.
Last night at boot camp I was able to run and jump and use my foot in my old sneakers like I used to, hallelujah!
I am so happy, although now I have 2 toes on that foot that want to go numb when all the time my foot doesn't hurt.
I have to go to the doctor today for my allergy shot and I plan to mention it. Its been going on for some time now but I thought it would go away - well it never does.....
Honestly, at this point I don't care, I am just so happy that my foot no longer hurts and I no longer need to worry about my arch supports, although those suckers cost $400 and many appointments I don't care, my foot feels great!
Yeah Me!

In & Out
Been going here and there and finally I have found my salvation, some time off for good behaviour, silence is bliss.
Currently I am planning to do a little scrapbooking, finish off the book I've been "trying" to read for 3 weeks, actually I think it was a month yesterday?
Remove all of my winter clothes from the floor of my closet, throw some items out, vaccuum the downstairs, and just feel like I have accomplished something in this poor neglected home.
Lately I have been very scatter-brained, running around like a chicken with my head cut off and I don't like that feeling at all, I want my OCD back where I know what I'm doing, I have a list, I can sit down and focus long enough to make a list, just do some things for myself.
I started a boot camp and Monday night was way better than last Monday - it was so tough I couldn't walk upright until Thursday! Although I didn't think she worked us as hard I walked up the basement stairs and cried out in pain last night, Monday night was all abs and butt, well my butt cheeks and back of my thighs ceased right up, I have individual muscles back there that I did not know I had until last night........oh my gawd!
Today is better, I still know they are there but not as much.
I am so looking forward to the coming weekend, we are kidless and we are only doing "couples" stuff, we decided to give it a try and see how it works, rather than us doing individual things?
Its been a long time since my hubby and I were a couple (as opposed to a family). I expect we will be very rusty at it but who knows we might end up finding a dirt road a making out?
Shhhhhhh, don't tell him I said that! He'll expect it.......

Another Day
My title was going to be another day, another dollar. It still could be, I felt like I wanted to blog but honestly I have nothing to blog about, odd eh?
There is lots of things swimming around in head but nothing worth even talking about.
For once I have nothing to complain about, life is ok.
Life is moving along on the freight train of life.
I would love to sit down and Scrapbook right now, but I keep coming up with excuses as to why I can't, well one is that I'm trying to work, the house needs swept, the counters need cleaned, the deck chairs and stuff need to come out, I need to neatly put away my winter clothes, I need to get rid of some clothes and socks, my dresser is a disaster, and the list goes on.........
How is it - all of the sudden I have become someone who was always on time, very organized, things were all figured out to someone who walks around in a fog all day long, arrives late to outings, and never has a enough time to turn around?
Did I get off on the wrong stop?
There is lots of things swimming around in head but nothing worth even talking about.
For once I have nothing to complain about, life is ok.
Life is moving along on the freight train of life.

Mother's Day like non-other
Happy Mothers Day to all you moms out there, I hope you all had a fabulous day!
My Mothers Day was weird and wonderful to say the very least!
It all began with a full ziplock bag of markers crashing down onto the floor outside our bedroom, what a way to wake up, I thought the house was tumbling down. Luckily it was only markers, darn ziplock bag!
I was "informed" to stay in bed.....although my darling daughter had other plans, she made me get up! The nerve of her! She led me out to the hallway where she had colored a great big peice of cardboard that was 4' x 4' with Happy Mothers Day Mom! I love You! You are my Queen!
Well whats a mom to do? How sweet, and she did it all by herself.........awe.....you know it is because of that these little aliens make us think we can get through another day, all the heartache and headaches are forgotten when they do these little things.
After breakfast and presents I spent 1 hour curling my daughters hair, it was her first communion day and I had bought her a flowy gorgeous white dress for this special occassion, although everyone thought I "over spent" on the prettiest dress there I really didn't...Ebay is my best friend when it comes to finds, the dress only cost me $17 CAD shipping and all, her little white high heel shoes cost that much! She was all dolled up to say the very least. She was adoreable.
After all the hub bub of that we headed over to my mom & dads. I had bought bouquets for both mom's that DD gave to each, when we went to mom & dads mom was waiting for us at the door and DD had her flowers behind her back, and flopped into grammy's arms, grammy was so happy she grabbed DD and hugged and kissed her, as I walked in I said "Happy Mothers Day Mom" and she grabbed me and hugged me
Yes read that last line again........go back again if you have to.......you read it right, she hugged me!!!!
I was stunned, shocked, I hugged her back but was in total shock. DD grabbed us both and gave us a "bear hug"........ok wow! um that was weird. My DH poked me in the ribs as we walked in further.......I didn't really notice I was too stunned.
She was very teary yesterday, apparently my dad told my DH that we were first to show up today, it was 3pm when we got there! My brother from Toronto called her and they talked for almost 2 hours but her other children never came! Ungrateful children! How sad, but no surprises there.
After we left, DH brought it back up and he asked me when the last time was I remember my mother hugging me......I couldn't tell him, it took me almost 1 hour to answer and the last time I remember was when I was 4, dad was leaving for another operation in Toronto and I was crying because daddy was leaving and she picked me up and hugged me and said "daddy will be back next week". That is what I remember. 4 years old!
I called my BFF and told her, she has known my relationship with my mom forever, her mom was like a "real" mom to me from the very first time I stepped in her home. She said "is your mother terminally ill". I busted a gut. Because that is exactly what went through my head after it all happened, that something must be wrong.
Either way it was a good day! I am not going to complain I am just going to "remember it forever!"

Chin Up
What a week from hell!!!!
My tire is flat!
Damn it, my dad suspected it "might" happen...well it did.
Thank goodness my SIL is around to use her vehicle (never thought I'd say that huh?). Well I am, I would have been scrambling around on Tuesday when the tire went flat the first time.
I am waiting to talk to my dad about it today, DD has barn work on Saturday where I am dropping her off and going to get my groceries. I can't impose on my SIL for the vehicle on a Saturday, that isn't cool so I'll see what my dad says, worst case scenario I'll have her take me over tonight to get DH's truck, I'll drive that.
I don't want my dad to have to change my tire to the other rim without help, it is a big job and its not fair for him to do it and he won't let me help. *groan*
I might put the donut tire on myself tonight - I haven't changed a tire since I was 16 so it should be fun, especially since my dad put the nuts on his air compressor! oh boy! The neighbours will hear a sermon for sure!
No spectators please!

Therapy
Retail Therapy always does the mind good, not so much the body all the time but when you find clothes that fit you well it sure feels great.
Especially when you end up with 2 outfits for $100, can you say Happy Mothers Day to myself?
It was exactly what I needed.

Atta-justment
Do you ever just walk around pissed off?
This has been the weekend from hell for me. So much for me relaxing, I get into trouble when I relax and try to do things for myself because I over extend myself or put my own shit on the back burner and I'm the one who loses out.
I am sick and tired of everyone "wanting" something from me.
Yesterday had me on a play date for 3 hours, during the exact time I wanted to be at a Zumba event! WTH? I understood the play date to be a drop off for a few hours, which was perfect that DD was in town with me we could do groceries afterward and enjoy our time together. That was so not the way it played out, which is fine whatever, I like the other mom and she is funny but ...... in the end the girls wanted to play elsewhere which meant her home or someplace else. Off they went without me.
I rushed to hit the tail end of the event and realized it was all really old ladies? hmmmm? Ok so I left and as I was coming onto St. Mary's Street this lady in a car was coming right toward me talking on her cell phone in MY lane.....she made no attempt to move, she was way over, I was sure she would move, she didn't until the last minute we both swerved and I went BANG on the sidewalk and I was very upset but not once did I think to get out and LOOK? I have no idea why?
I decided screw all this I'm going to see a movie by MYSELF!!!! It was wonderful, it brought me back to centre.
I rushed off to pick up DD from her play date and go get my few groceries. As I was walking in an older gentlemen was walking by and commented on my tire, my hubcap was destroyed and sticking out, my tire had a little piece of rubber hanging from it and my rim was BENT! Luckily no air pressure was lost but I then decided to rush off to my mom & dads to get it checked to be safe. DD pleaded to stay there for a longer play date! I could have killed her, she wouldn't stop! You can only imagine the railing that child received on the way up the highway, I was freaking, thinking my tire would burst on our trip up, I drove 50 the whole way. Oh it was terrible!!
Hubby called at that very moment to tell me he was safe and sound and at his destination and he asked me where I was I burst into tears.....no you know I'm not a crier but I was so upset and frazzled and mad at myself for being a dumb woman and not thinking straight and not doing what I had intended on doing that day and yadda, yadda.......I was not in a good place!
I got to my dads and he hammered out the rim, luckily no major damage!!!! Its all good now.
DD wouldn't leave grammy & grampy's house then, I was exhausted and my allergies are killing me, I want to rack out my eyes at any given moment lately. I was so mad at her!!!! I lost it on her and flipped out! Ungrateful, not thinking clearly children will put me through the roof, for her to even to open her mouth at that point was all too much for my nerves!!!!
Which brings me to today.......my allergies are even worse, I'm horse, I'm tired, I have no groceries and that child wants to go, go, go! I am tired, my eyes are burning, I sound terrible!! I took her to Sunday School and she begs to go play with 2 little girls afterward....OMG! Not again! Their mom suggests they will come out later......all I wanted to do was sleep, really I did.
Out they come and my stomach is terrible, all upset, I think its from my nerves and they wanted to go on a bike trip on a side road nearby, this chick was not leaving the house with my poor belly in a mess! Her kids cried that they weren't leaving the yard, I pretty much said "fine pack your bikes up and leave then, if my house isn't good enough"...their mom calmed them down and they biked but every 2 seconds a kid was at us for something...WTH? I was very nasty to my own kid and in the end they did leave and my kid ended up in her room, do you know what she asked me?
Can I go to Sam & Becky's house for a little bit?
WHAT? REALLY? This kid hasn't got a clue has she? She has lived with me for 8 years and still doesn't know when to keep her damn mouth shut? WHAT? O-M-G! In order to save her own life I sent her to her room and shut the door.....I didn't dare go near her, I couldn't.
I feel absolutely terrible for the way I acted, but I'm pissed off! I just mad.
I wanted to scrub my floors, I have no idea when the fuck that is going to happen, I need a GD haircut, the woman comes to my door, no time, no money!
I'm drowning in my own to do's that I can get to-done!
I just want to read my novel and not be interuppted.
God save me!
I think I need a serious Attitude Adjustment?

Bean Peace ~ A poem by Drew K.
A mystery wrapped in brown,
A fragile enigma,
Enveloping the senses,
With the earthy steam
Of a bean.
The mind wrapped in warmth,
The essence of dark roast,
Heating from within,
The senses thrill,
With every lingering
Sniff of the aroma
In the mug
A fragile enigma,
Enveloping the senses,
With the earthy steam
Of a bean.
The mind wrapped in warmth,
The essence of dark roast,
Heating from within,
The senses thrill,
With every lingering
Sniff of the aroma
In the mug

The Unvailing
Here is our sheep costume...what do you think? Poor Hawk, all the other horses laughed at him......he was a good sport though.

This mom has lost her MIND
I feel like I am literally livin' la vida loca!
I will be so glad when Brownies, Dance, Sunday School and the other activities are done for the year, oh but wait......one activity goes all year long.....horse riding! Ah yes.
But that one makes me happy too.
I love spending time at the barn, I love the fact my daughter feels she isn't "pulling her weight" when she doesn't go, I like the fact her work ethic is strong at such a young age.
Seeing my child shovel crap for hours and smile while doing it makes my heart warm, to her it isn't gross, smelly or weird. She enjoys scrubbing buckets with scum, brushing down filthy horses, crawling under them to wash their bellies and of course jumping in the hay mound with the other girls.
Unfortunately, I am allergic to everything in the barn but the horses and it makes me feel horrible for most of the week, whats a little wheezing?
Our first show is this coming weekend, just for fun but a lot of work. We won't have our usual horse so that was a little nerve racking until we met him last night, our little dirty horse is as friendly as can be and we instantly fell in love with him.
Our first class is "costume class", well not knowing a lot about it I hit the internet and quickly found my mission.......I am still not 100% we can deploy the mission as well but I'll do my best, which will include less sleep but hey, it will make for an amazing scrapbook page doncha think?
I guess I'd better gear up for spending my summer at the barn! Oh well it could be way worse. Plus I get to ride every now and again too, which is music to my ears...........
Thank you Value Village for having almost everything I needed to do up this costume correctly.

I'm Going to Hell 4 this.....
As you all know I no problems with my daughter enjoying all kinds of music, lyrics, etc....to an extent, Buckcherry, Eminem, etc....are out and haven't been introduced but I'd like to show you the lyrics to our new fav song......
Bowling For Soup - Hooray for Beer
I was lost and down
Before you turned my life around
I never knew a love like this could happen
And they said I was too young
But when I turned 21
You gave me hope that's everlasting
Now everything is going my way
The sun's shining all around me
Bells are ringing and the birds are singing now
I wanna tell the whole world
Hooray For Beer!
I'm really glad you're here
Let's make this moment last
You feel so right
Wanna be with you all night
Shout it out
Hooray For Beer!
Hee, hee, this morning my SIL were laughing our butts off while the kid sang at the top of her lungs and had no idea what were laughing at then said "I love this song Mom"!
It is a very catchey tune?

I am not in the business of making this blog anything more than my domain to come and give my thoughts and share my stories with the blog world.
On that note.......has anyone made vacation plans yet?
Better get on that, I just spoke with someone who has 30 nights already booked for camping!
Wow!
Did you know Ree Drummonds blog http://thepioneerwoman.com/ makes a substantial amount by writing a blog, just the ads people pay for alone gives her a sweet little nestegg.

I SAID CHOCOLATE!!!
Yesterday my husband planned a small family get together to celebrate my birthday. How sweet of him, even though he bought steak, potatoes, veggies and told everyone they were coming for cake? Luckily they hadn't eaten yet, he told them 5pm.
Men! Why can't they just tell people what they are planning, just say it!!!
Anyway....where was I?
Oh right, cake......as we all finished our meal my husband brought the cake up, now in our house everyone gets cake, everyone but me gets a vanilla cake, his family are all "vanilla" people, in my eyes I don't want cake if it isn't chocolate.
I look down and say "vanilla cake? why vanilla, that isn't my choice of cake?".
He says "well...........its a long story but after I got home yesterday from doing groceries and put them all away it was 7pm, I then realized I didn't buy a cake for you and took daughter to grammies house and drove like a maniac to town hoping and praying you didn't come home early and meet me on the road, you would have bee suspicious had I not waved or pulled over, I was back home in under 1 hour with the only cake sobey's had that wasn't a huge slab, I looked for chocolate but there wasn't any".......
WTH? No chocolate? Now I know your all thinking, "now Melanie my husband wouldn't make a special trip to town just to make sure I had birthday cake, be nice".
Whatever!
I'll buy my own chocolate cake - today! I will not be gyped out of my chocolate birthday cake no matter what he did to get me a cake period! He could have gone to another store for cake??????
Sorry, I want, what I want and it was not Vanilla Birthday Cake!!!!!

Thanks but No Thanks
Since last September I have been encouraged to become a "volunteer" with the ______ unit and as you can likely guess I am.
I have to say my standards for how things should be are way to high. I know it must be shocking for you to hear that but yes I set the bar high on what I want.
Now last year gave me some reservation about the entire group and how it was run, after being on the behind the scene trip these past months has sold me to the fact I don't want to be a part of something that just isn't right.
Poor planning, poor communication, poor attitudes, and down right nastiness amongst the leaders is totally unacceptable. I will admit I've held back a lot of my disdain (yes I have honest) I can't any longer, especially when the main leader called to ask me to become a leader officially next year.
I told her I'd think about it.
Honestly I wanted to say "are you crazy lady" right there but I chickened out.
I am totally not doing it and my daughter will not either, the group is small, only 4 girls and 13 girls in total from all levels. I have no idea why all the leaders feel all the girls should do the same damn things, why would little kids do what bigger kids are doing just because their a small group? Why go through the badge earning stuff when you can't even earn the badge? Plan your own crap!
Mind you this is totally my own opinion, maybe I'm missing something but I don't think I am.
To top it all off, if anyone has ever been involved in something their own child is they know how difficult that line of parent / leader is. I want to not be involved in something my kid is, she won't stop bugging, she can't stand the fact other kids want to do good deeds like clean up and such, last night she tried to overpower another kid for the garbage can to clean up after I asked the other one to help and cracked her head so hard on the basement column I thought for sure she had a consussion. Not to mention she sulks when she doesn't get her way in front of everyone!!!!! Totally unacceptable. I know she is a kid but as a leader your own child can't pull that shit, it isn't cool and embarrasses me!
I think its time to move onto something else or nothing at all?

I am totally not doing it and my daughter will not either, the group is small, only 4 girls and 13 girls in total from all levels. I have no idea why all the leaders feel all the girls should do the same damn things, why would little kids do what bigger kids are doing just because their a small group? Why go through the badge earning stuff when you can't even earn the badge? Plan your own crap!
Mind you this is totally my own opinion, maybe I'm missing something but I don't think I am.
To top it all off, if anyone has ever been involved in something their own child is they know how difficult that line of parent / leader is. I want to not be involved in something my kid is, she won't stop bugging, she can't stand the fact other kids want to do good deeds like clean up and such, last night she tried to overpower another kid for the garbage can to clean up after I asked the other one to help and cracked her head so hard on the basement column I thought for sure she had a consussion. Not to mention she sulks when she doesn't get her way in front of everyone!!!!! Totally unacceptable. I know she is a kid but as a leader your own child can't pull that shit, it isn't cool and embarrasses me!
I think its time to move onto something else or nothing at all?

My Brother, Husband & South Park
Sunday night my brother & his girlfriend from Toronto called to wish me a happy birthday...um ok but your a week early I told them?
K: was like "huh, no it was Friday wasn't it?"
Me: Um no its this coming Friday
K: "Really? I thought I missed it, whose birthday in the fam is the 10th"
Me: Well Friday was the 9th and nobody's. Mike is the 15th and I'm the 16th
K: "oh wow! We didn't miss it M".....
LOL I couldn't help but say "K you've never been early for anything so you can mark this one down you are the first to wish me Happy Birthday this year" ha, ha, ha
He asked if he could add that information to his resume......funny guy.
On that note, late last week K joined "BookFace" and had lots of questions. Now when I received the friend request I almost fell off my chair, my hubby was shocked and said "you told me he'd never join"........well he did.
He had tons of questions to ask me about it and the security settings, etc.....very funny since he has a computer science degree but whatever!
He then says "did you ever see the FB South Park episode?" He then proceeds to laugh his butt off trying to tell me all about it. Too funny! Who would have thought he watched South Park? Totally not his style but come to find out he even watches the Trailer Park Boys, hubby almost fell out of bed when I told him that one, we both figured it was "beneath" him but a good ol' boy from the country can't resist either show......no matter how high they climb :o)
So I'm now chatting with M about this and that and her little chipacado (B) when K yells "hey its on right now you two, say bye"......
Well ok then....I have to say my brother is so funny that way.......that boy will be late for his own funeral but he can quote TV, Movie & Music lyrics & lines like nobody else......I wouldn't trade him for the world!

Practice What U Preach(er)
Did you hear the news today? Didja?
So that Mr. Little who for the past 8 years or more who has refused to pay his taxes because they are going toward paid abortions......yeah him.
He is going to jail - federal, the big house. Which all this time I've been saying to myself pay your GD taxes like the rest of us, who says YOUR taxes go toward abortions, they don't sit aside my money or your money specifically it goes into the big melting pot of all "their" money dude!
So it has come to light that he is Catholic and his Arch Bishop preached to the people in his pews to do this, go forward and refuse to pay your taxes as it is YOUR money paying for these sinful abortions!!!
OMFG!!!!!
Records show that the Arch Bishop PAID HIS TAXES!!!! WTFH?
That brings me back to a mass we sat through last fall at our very own church when all of those senior's were hanging out at Morgantallers (sp?) clinic in Fredericton and I thought it was odd. At that mass, our priest during his service "encouraged" parishioners to protest "with their signs" at the Abortion Clinic in Fredericton, it was during "Family Mass" with all of our children sitting in the pews....WTH man, I looked at hubby and thought if my child turns to me and asks what is abortion I will stand up in mass and tell him to shut his fuckin' mouth because children were in da house!!!! Dude think!!!!!
So that next day when we drove by I commented "any of you see any Priests there?"
Nope me neither!!!!
There is a reason the phrase Practice What You Preach rings so true because it is.

Almost Died
That is what I thought anyway. It was last night about 2 hours after our yummy ham & potatoe scollop dinner.
I had been looking so forward to it until I was praying to die.
I completely acting like a fool all weekend long, I ate cream cheese, cheese, milk chocolate, more cheese, dill pickle dip with sour cream & cream cheese and to top it all off I put Carnation Milk in my potatoe scallop!
What the hell was I thinking? I wasn't apparently!
I was so sick my body rejected the dairy like never before, my husband thought he was going to call the ambulance while I was throwing up, crying, laying in a puddle on the floor. I thought somebody was stabbing me from the top of my ribs to my pelvic bone, I honestly thought the pain would never stop, it barely gave me any rest between waves, it was much like labour contractions.
I had a fever, chills and was exhausted, I still am today, my body is worn out from all the fighting it did last night, my head hurts, and I'm totally afraid of food today so far I've had 1/2 cup of coffee and got scared about the caffeine, some honey, almond crunch cereal with lactose free milk, V8 Fushion juice and apple sauce.
My stomach is sore today and I fear it will take me well into the weekend to get all cleaned back up again. It is such a set back for me. I have been so careful and in only 4 days I messed it all up royally.
I am so stupid to have done this to myself, I felt so dumb I couldn't even justify staying home today because it was all self inflicted and just having 4 days off doesn't look well to call in sick now does it?
I can't wait to go home tonight and have some white fish or soup, nothing to scarey for me.

Not So Good
Its Monday, but we only have 4 days of work
It is day 4 of my pounding headache - ouch I can't figure out why?
Why can't just one morning be peaceful and everyone do what their suppose to?
Supposedly my hubby is writing phone numbers in the snow as I type this, with his finger he said?
Some things are better left unsaid.
I dreamt all night long but can't remember any of them only that one included my brother I don't speak to
I slept wrong last night and the left side of my neck has a kink in it, oh does it hurt, I also have throbbing pain up and down the back of my neck.
I need a tanning bed, I'll wait til 10am.
My house has vowed to have fish every night this week for dinner, well at least 4 days, then we will weigh ourselves. My lunches will also include fish. It might be the jump start I need. Tonight is trout.

Wait For Me
It is the end of March already!
Where did the time go? I feel like it slipped right past me. On a good note April is coming and so is the warmer sunshine. Oh how I love warm sun shining down on me.
With April brings more birthday fun, longer days, more sunlight and more house parties. Our last kitchen party was a few weeks ago to celebrate a friends birthday and it was so much fun, the guitars came out and it was 2am before we left, having that much fun who would want to go?
Softball season is coming up and I am looking forward to that as well, a new older team will be molded into their skills and friendships even deeper. Oh how I look forward to the ball field that is currently under 2 ft of snow.
I have a few to do items on my list for the warmer upcoming weather, I sure hope I can get them all accomplished.

- more outdoor biking
- concert(s)
- USA
- new sandals
- new shorts
- more toning & tuning up
- weddings
- birthdays
- and possibly some remodelling when we are busy.
phew! That tuckered me right out.
Oh how I look forward to the snow disappearing....

I Sit Here
Listening to the goings on around.
What a crazy world live in.
I am now known as the Kevin Bacon of SNB. Apparently I can relate myself to just about anybody you want to talk about. Inside or outside of SNB. It really shows just how small of a world it really is.
They all laugh at me now and say "you know them right". Well not exactly but I went to school with their daughter/son, or I worked with their mom a few years back.
Connections have been made, the web has been weaved and its pretty cool if you ask me.

EOWOW! That was close....
I think I may have tampered with my girly bits at lunch hour today...tampered as in damaged the skin....I was tanning and well um I think I may have been a few minutes too long for those regions of my body.......I'm kinda pink like.
I sure hope its gone by tomorrow......I can feel the heat.
You can all cheer now, I've moved into the 20th century when it comes to tanning.

The Things I See
It has been an interesting week to say the least...oh the things a person can see when out and about in this crazy world.
- hey man, take your hands out of the front of pants while trolling the gym....ewe man!
- you, you, & you on texting while driving - stop it, I don't want to die
- why do idiots with dogs think it is ok to have the dog lose in the car and sitting on your lap while driving? You can't see and the dog can't drive?
- KIDS are not safe in the front seat, especially those who can't see over the dash! Even policeman's kids
- How is it nobody can see the bigger picture of a processes in life? Dumb asses I can't produce products by waving my magic wand...its broken...screw off!
- When you go to a restaurant with a child and they give you the order, why turn to me and say "now will her meal be from the kids menu"?
- How can the smartest of people be so f'in dumb about everything? Paper is face down on the f'in fax machine!!!!! See the sign? Where'd you go to school?
- Don't complain about being unorganized when its your fault you are
- Added information to any request is a bonus long before we get into a back and forth messages. Just give all the info in the beginning to save us all time
- Time wasters are just that, don't you have anything else better to do and if your so fast I wonder if your any good at what your suppose to be doing?
- If I am the only person on a machine at the gym why do you feel you need to be in the one right beside me, does it make you feel better?
- Not wiping down the equipment like the rules state make me wonder about your hygene in general?
- Hey Skinny Minny checking your ass out in the mirror...its small we all can see in your super tight shorts.......is it the first time you've looked today? I didn't think so..guess thats why you think the rest of us want to see too
- As much as I enjoy you standing in front of me flexing your muscles young man I have to laugh at the same time....and say thank you! Now bend over too, cuz I'd like to see that too.
Happy Friday Everyone!

IN-freaking-SANE
I dislike this time of year very much, both hubby and I go flat out for March Madness!
Its that time of year when government has budget money left over and they spend it like crazy, it happens every year, every year has hubby working 16 hour days and me going full tilt to make sure everything is ordered and arrived on time.
Luckily this year is a little slower than others but again, my days have me tied right to my desk. It starts just after Valentines Day and goes straight to April 1.
Then after that I have only 12 days to receive the invoices and send them to be processed or else we'll get our fingers slapped.
Can you say stressful? ugh

Luck O' the Irish and all that crap
Happy St. Patty's Day my blogger friends.
Did you wear green today?
Yesterday I was at my doctors office and a couple came in with their 6 month old baby. She was so adorable in her little bear fuzzy suit, big blue eyes, strawberry blonde hair, all smiles, a tooth and a grin.
To think my little girl was that size and that cuddly.
How said it was to think that the day before she turned 8. The baby years are all gone for me and that too is very sad.
The mom must have seen my envy shining through and offered me to hold "Mia". I was thrilled, she coo'd and laughed at me, we tickled and teased...oh how much fun she was and she snuggled right in.......awe.
When the nurse came to get them I warned the nurse not to hurt her and she couldn't promise anything - it was needle day.
I got the hell out of dodge before that all started.....eek!

What I Know 4 Sure
- I love my daughter
- Mommies are never ready for the change in life when they grow up and get bigger
- If I could go back in time I would have held her more while she slept
- Doing the right thing doesn't always end up the right thing in the long run
- Getting older each year is not something I enjoy at all
- Living life to the fullest isn't always as black as white as people think
- Nobody ever said life was easy - good thing, they would have been lieing
- Its a shame when someone's house burns down and so devestating.
- When family members are estranged it is a very weird feeling
- Losing touch is hard to do
- Winning the Lotto is way harder than we think
- Clothing of any size sucks and is expensive
- Reality TV has me hooked
- If I don't scrapbook soon I might burst from the built up stress
- Feeling guitly about missing the gym is a good thing

That is No way to Start
I can finally put all of the events of this morning together and finally laugh.
The morning started out with hubby leaving at 5:30, he thinks waking me to tell me the alarm is set is a good idea.......nope not so much!
The alarm goes off at 6am, I so don't want to get up, my head is stuffed up and that totally sucks.
I go to the bathroom and begin getting ready. My lovely and beautiful daughter saunters in to pee and informs me she is headed back to bed at 6:15 am. Oh hell no.
I say "don't think so, here wash your face it will wake you up". I am still going back to bed. I look at her with one eye make up'd and say would you like to say that again little girl? No response, if it were warmer and night time you would have heard crickets.
As she walks out I suggest she get her clothes on and meet me in the kitchen in 5 minutes....and lo and behold she does! Super!
I offer her an egg, she says no
I offer her cereal, she says no
I say then what will you have? She says yogurt, I say yes and something else, get your yogurt
She gets it and says "ewe its whole wheat"....WTH Yogurt cannot be whole wheat? Its not WW its pumped with fibre, the peach skin is left on the peach chunks, she says "I'm not eating that YUCK".
I say you are eating it, you requested it when I did groceries this week, how was I to know, I had no idea...eat it NOW! She grumbles and groans but eventually eats it, then announces she wants an egg.....sorry stove is closed, no egg now, too late, you said no to my first offer, next?
She wants cereal but once its poured she's full - quel suprise! I tell her to be quiet and eat half of it. Now I'm grumbling.....
All of a sudden I have a huge pink string hanging down my pants, I pull it, and pull it and pull it, I say WTH? Finally it rips off. I go finish my hair, come back out to eat my cereal and I ask the child to go brush her hair and teeth...she said "I don't want to". Which only pisses me off more.
If I wanted a piss poor attitude I would have called my mother to chat so you child aren not pullin' that shit today or any other day on this nasty I hate mornings bitch!!!!! (I thought to myself).
I then inform her that her birthday this weekend..I don't want to, riding lessons ... I don't want to, anything you want? I DON'T WANT TO! Put that in your pipe and smoke it cuz the little bit you gotta do doesn't even compare to the crap we have to do so when we ask you to do something you'll do it and you'll do with a grin on your face or the next time you really want something I won't WANT TO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You got me? Capice!
I head back to bathroom for a pee and that stupid pink thread is all over me, what the hell? I pull it and you know what?
Its the elastic band of my panties, nothing was left of them, all elastic was gone, I had unravelled half of them. Sigh....off I go to change them. I am running late now at this point.
Luckily the child is ready to go.
We get out to the car and I dont' have a watch - crap!
I go for my cell phone and its not in my POCKET - SHIT!
Can you guess where it was?
On the bed when I changed my underwear it fell out of my pocket so I ran back in for it.
That was my morning.....are you tired yet?

Week #5 of a 6 Week Program
Well I am almost there of my basic 6 week gym program. It has been working but I am stuck and totally getting tired of doing the same things 3 days per week at the gym. My foot still has not healed and that is pissing me off royally.
WTH? F'in heel won't heal.
I miss my aerobic classes but I must say I do love doing weights I enjoy them, the bike is becoming my new hatred. Its boring me and I don't think my stamina has gotten better? Well it has but it hasn't, does that even make sense? Regardless I'm starting to hate the f'in bike. But with this bum foot its all I can do for cardio...crap!
I have a few more goals to make for the next 6 weeks, I still have a ways to go but I am doing it slowly but surely, there is no doubt this will work, it is working, but like I said it is bitterly slow and some days I just want to say screw it and eat a big mac and other days I eat so well and work so hard at the gym that I feel and look like a million bucks. I think my brain is totally messed up and somewhat bi-polar when it comes to the gym work.
Why is it I want to sabotage myself? How does that make sense?
I feel better when I eat well? So why does my brain say "eat those chips, order pizza! So what if you'll get heartburn and upset stomach, have a headache for the next 2 days, I don't care, EAT THAT FOOD - ME WANT THAT FOOD!"
What the hell is wrong with me? I have litterally had to go to the gym and hurt that bitch inside of me who wants to eat all the wrong foods.
God Damned Bitch is trying to ruin me!!! I won't have it! I won't!
Take that! You can Kiss my soon to be hard skinny a$$!
WTH? F'in heel won't heal.

What A Waste!
OMG! I just wasted 3 hours of my life on a Saturday night no less watching the "The Real Housewives of...." series.
I cannot believe it. That show swallows me up.
It has to have the dumbest women on there, it has fantastic women peppered (surrounded) by malicious idiots looking for their 15 minutes of fame.
WTH?
So there you have it. Me on a Saturday night eaten alive by the Real Housewives series...watching the fights and yelling......whatever!
I think its coming on again? C ya!

Cleaner
Ok so lets try to keep my new post cleaner than my last......I guess I was on a high when I wrote that...hee hee......nuff said.
Can you believe its freakin' March already? Wow, I cannot believe it.
March Break!
This is the week for my daughter and I to come out of our comfort zones, we have a few things planned for the week to try out for the first time. She is curling and and we both are going skiing.
I hope we don't break any bones, that would totally suck!

Somethings Working
Great News!
I have lost a total of 17 lbs since last October! That makes me so happy. I have almost met my first goal, hopefully by next week my first goal will finally be met, I set my timeframe too soon the first time and figured I could have lost 20lbs by Christmas. What the hell was I thinking? That total set me up for failure. I see much clearer now and realize that could have never happened unless I ate nothing but lettuce for 2 months straight and that is no way to lose weight properly now is it?
My inch loss is awesome too, a total of 5.5 inches over all.
I am looking forward to go dress shopping for a special event in September.
My newest goal will be having to buy new undies by next month, and likely new pants since most of the ones I own right now will come off without unfastening them.
It makes bathroom breaks that much quicker now :o)
Happy Monday!

Purgatory Hell
I am very upset right now. I just heard that my best friends uncle is lost at sea along with a young fellow.
I am very sad to hear this and I can only hope it isn't what I think it is, the outcome will be celebrated not mourned.
How can this be?
In all the years my friends husband has fished I have never even realized how dangerous it truely is, I have only ever thought it was hard yucky sea-sickening job. Never once did I think he'd never return home from a day at work?
How does one deal with the news that your loved one may never return home? That you may never know what happened to make them not come home? That a physical body may never be "recovered", you will never see that person again alive or dead?
How the hell is that possible? Can you even wrap your brain arond that concept? I don't think I can?
They say no news is good news but today as I sit here at my desk twitching I surely do not think that.
Please if you are reading this, keep those fishermen in the front of your memory, think about them as if they were your loved ones, how would you feel, what would you do, sitting in this purgatory of waiting and hoping?

Augh!
I am frustrated........with many things, the list is long but I am......
Have you ever felt like everything is driving you nuts?
I try to get things done and to no avail I keep hitting a brick wall.
The more I run on the hamster wheel the less I accomplish. WTH?
I could scream! I just might.....but right now, I'm going to lay in the tanning bed and maybe the Vitamin D will suck the nasty mood out of me.

Wanna touch?
Oh I can feel it.....my muscles are beginning to emerge from my flab....oh yes they are and my bum is so tight, its lifting right up on its very own!
My legs are leaner and meaner!
My arms are beginning to buff up.
My hip bones have come to life and I've got ribs.
But man my ass is looking good.....I've even had a few comments and slaps from it.........
I like this

Backed Off
I have been so sick the past 6 days that I thought I was going to die. I wished to die at some points throughout the nights because I figured it would easier than living in the agony I was in.
From what you ask?
The common cold I say! Although from visiting the clinic yesterday I have been informed this is no common cold, this cold is N__A_S_T_Y! From my neck up I filled with bacterial infection.
I have both ears aching, my sinus's, my mouth is filled with canker sores, my eyes were running infection and my throat hurts like hell (but not strep throat hurt).
I am one hot lookin' peice of crap right now folks.
The doctor told me I could have never fought this by myself and had I not been seen it would have become a whole lot worse, she's had to hospitalize a few people because they waited too long to be seen, because they called it a "cold".
So I may have wanted to die, I in fact could have. Thats some crazy shit!
I now have some high-powered meds kicking this crazy ass cold right out of me, its my first day back to work in almost 1 week and I am thankful to be back in some kind of routine.
In the last 4 days I added up the hours of sleep I had and it was between 8 - 10 in total. I was exhausted.
I am on the up hill climb to feeling better, thank you god for saving me because there were times in the past week I prayed to be taken away......
