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?

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?
