Faire un effort

Ya the title of my blog today is French. Faire un effort - without making an effort. People reading my blog that don't know me may think I am french. Well I am not. Would be nice if I could speak French. I would love to be able to. Maybe thats why I am going to send Evelynn to a French school when that time comes (will only be too soon) or maybe I am sending to a French school because I see the benefits in it. Ya I think thats the reason.

Well I am starting to feel that about my job. Without effort. Thats not a bad thing just more like I know it so well that I can do a lot of it without even thinking. I have asked my boss to show some of the other stuff people do in the business so I have a better understanding of what goes on. I just want to learn something different. I love learning so much. I want to go to night classes but don't know what to take. Everyone has an opinion on what I should be doing but me. I am left confussed on which path to take. What is the quickest way to reach my goal. hehehe

Anyway, keeping it low-key tonight. I just want to do nothing and relax. I did play cards with Sara until 8. That is fun though, relaxing because I enjoy doing that.

I do believe Spring is here now. Today was a wonderful day. I hope it is nice like this on the weekend. I wish I could have spent more time outside but I have bills to pay and you don't get money to pay those bills by spending time outside. Unless you are a farmer and I am not. Or even a fisherman or grass cutter.

Well, I just want to complain a little about the health care we have here in our fine city. I am abit worried about my mom. You see she has been sick and in pain for sometime now. They are sending her for plenty of test and such, but nothing seems to be getting done about it other then referal after referal. They newest scare (well there are a few) being the large cyst they found on her left ovary. Well she went to the specialist today to discuss this and what her options are what the plan of action is. She goes there only to find that he hasn't recieved any of her information yet. The result being another ultrasound! Can you believe this! Now I don't want to worry people here and I especially don't want to worry her (she doesn't read my blog so I am ok there) but if this is bad and you kow what I mean by bad (c-word) they need to get a move on and quick! 'NOT' do another ultrasound (and wait for that one to get lost)'NOT' refer her to another specialist!!!! BUT get in there and fix her. I do believe that time is of the importance here!! This thing is the size of a plum! A PLUM!!!! inside of her. That cannot be good. My poor mom. She has all these health problems I really feel bad for. I think she is starting to feel like whats the point. She isn't even 50 yet but I know what she is thinking. I want her to care enough to put up a stink though. This is getting a bit crazy that it takes this long for anything to be done or happen. I would ask to go to a bigger near-by city or something. This is her health this is her life we are talking about. Now I know I do tend to be somewhat of a worrier, but really..the size of a plum! Do they need to see another picture of it to know what to do???

*sigh* What can you do what can you do. It really sucks. I just hope she can get better soon cause I am tired of her being in pain all the time and I know that she is too...

Busy Weekend

Time for posting. Lots of catch-up to do. So I left off with my girls night with April. We pampered ourselves and it felt SOOO good. My face felt so soft after the mask. I want to do it again. Maybe next time with more girls and a night where I can sleep in in the morning so I am not watching the clock. We watched What dreams May come. It wasn't as good as I remembered it to be but was still worth watching if you haven't seen it before.

Didn't eat as much junk food as I thought I might. Which is a good thing but I am wanting those corn nuts now. I have no idea why but I have been craving junk like mad the last week or so. Good thing I am going to the gym with Aleshia tomorrow night as I am thinking it is starting to show. Darn those chips!!

Sunday Evelynn and I went out to Grandma and Grandpas for his birthday. We brought the cake we worked so hard on making the day before. I must say it turned out well and I think I have a natural born baker on my hands.

Grandpa liked the presents we got him too. So new socks which are important and a must. Some cowboy movies and some chocolates (Evelynn had her eye on them) So nothing too much but really what can you get someone that has everything. Also when I asked what he needed or wanted he said he just wanted a visit. So really anything we did get him was above and beyond what he had wanted. hehehe

I picked Kenny up from the truck stop on his way home from his busy weekend. What a good girlfriend am I. Wait it gets better. Drove him to his parents house (about 15 -20 min drive) and he had forgotten his CD's at the truck stop. About 250 of them. So the 'good' girlfriend I am drove all the way back there to save them. And save them I did. Boy is he lucky to have me!! hehe

Bad news is when we got back to my house his car still wouldn't start even after he boosted it with my car. So he was very very bummed about that. Good news is he was able to get it going tonight with a little help from one of his friends. I do think he is going to need a new starter though. Hopefully he can get by a little longer until he can get a proper job.

So Monday cooked a yummy dinner of chicken, noodles and beans. Evelynn loved it and kept wanting more. She really is a good eater but I am sure you can tell. Gave her a bath and read our books. She went to sleep just fine.

Played phase 10 with Sara and Kenny although Kenny dropepd out to watch CSI. Well so he says. I think he quit because he was losing. Sara ended up winning again. She is awesome at that game. It is a lot of fun.

So now...going to get ready for bed. My head hurts and I am really tired but atleast I was able to post today!

Can I Eat It?

Going to be another quick post as I have things to do. Gilrs night. April is on her way over she just stopped at the bulk barn to pick up corn nuts. You can never have a girls night in without corn nuts! Yummy!

So last night after Evelynn went to bed April, Joe, Chris and Mark came over for a few hours. Mark came to put some things onto my computer and to give me all of our old pictures. Which was awesome. I know hoave newborn pictures of Evelynn and pregnant pictures of me and all sorts. Thank you Mark! (he doesn't read my blog but it was nice of him) I spent an hour after they left looking at all of our old pictures. I cried. Evelynn has gotten so big and has changed so much. So much has happened in the ast 4 years it was kinda like a time travel. Just i could feel those moments again by seeing them.

Did Stag and Doe talk. Got a lot planned so that feels good. I think it is going to be the best Stag and Doe ever. I am not just saying that either.

Evelynn and I did a lot of baking today. made cookies and a cake. Grandpas birthday is on Tuesday so we made a cake for thta. We are going there tomorrow. Was a lot of fun. Had a good day with her. She has been in a good mood the last couple of days. Just makes life a little easier and a lot more fun.

April is here now so I am going to take my shower and put some face masks on and we can chat and eat and watch girly movies. Was hoping to make a longer post but that didn't happen.

Until next time...

Post without a Post

Wow, it has been sometime since my last post. I either haven't had time to post or have had nothing to post about. Let us recap my week. Monday and Tuesday nights I had Evelynn. Spent those nights with her. After she went to bed on Tuesday night Aleshia came over and we played Phase 10 with Sara. I was the first to get through all 10 phases but Sara had the least amount of points so she won the game. That game is awesome so tonight I went out and bought it for our house. We are so playing it tomorrow night until the cows come home. Or 11 o'clock whichever comes first.

So it is now almost midnight. Kennys car wouldn't start when he went to leave my house tonight. Bummer. I gave him a ride to Dresden because his band is leaving from there early in the morning to go to Ottawa. I really hope his car will work when he comes back. I don;t know what he is going to do otherwise. He left me his keys so I am going to try and get someone to look at it. Either Joe or my dad if i can get him to come over this weekend. I really hope it is something simple and I can get it to work for him before he gets back. Wouldn't that make me the best girlfriend ever!! so let's all cross our fingers!

Ya so so much for the recap as it is now too late and I want to get to bed. Signing off...Tanna

Cats in the Cradle

I swear I am going to kill this cat! Sounds horrible but thats the way I feel. Please someone take this cat. Why must it try to make my life harder. It always, always wants to go into Evelynn's room when she is trying to fall asleep. Of all the rooms it can go into it has to be that room. Drives me crazy!!

Anyway...Had an OK night with Evelynn. We made some pictures before bed and when we got home from work/daycare we drew on her chalk board. She was drawing me and then the sun and moon. Was very sweet. I love to see how her drawings are changing and looking more like things now. She is becoming very creative.

She went to bed alright other then Meow waking her a few times. She ate a nice dinner of Shepherds pie. I love to eat dinner with her and have her sit at my table. She is such a big girl now.

Nothing else really to report. Did my time at work today. Ended up talking to April for the last hour +. Thats it. Now I am going to put my P.J's on and try to get an early night for one. That is my goal for the week. Take it easy not be social (other than Wednesday) and just plain ol' relax. As much as I can anyway.

Until next time...

Nesting

Saturday was a long day. Not that I didn't enjoy it but sometimes there needs to be an end. Went Shopping with Aleshia and April. Was really a girls bonding sort of day and I had super fun I just wished it didn't take so long. Was supposed to go to a party with Kenny and hang out with his friends for once but we didn't get back until too late. I tried to get Kenny to go and just meet me there but he didn't want to. I feel so horrible and like I really let him down.

Anyway..will talk about what I did. We drove to Sparta to check out the candles. It was so awesome and amazing will want to go back forsure. It was a lot cheaper then I thought it would be too. I stocked up on some candles. I love to burn candles everyday.

We then drove to London. Well tried to. We got lost and I think we were very close to Woodstock. We were able to find our way and hit the shops. Got some new clothes and some sun glasses and a new purse. Everything a girl needs. I am very happy with everything I bought. Some new pants for work and a pair of jeans. Hard to believe but I am now a size three. I am smaller now then before I had Evelynn. I never thought this would happen but I am very happy with it. Hence the new pants. Most of my pants are size 9's. My small ones are size 7's and I have a few 10's and 12's. So nothing really fits me anymore.

Well finally got home. With a pit stop to Marks to check on Evelynn. She had a rash he had called me concerned so I went to check her out and called the Nurse line. Everything was fine and the rash was gone within a few hours. Whew. I am glad it wasn't chicken pox or anything nasty like that.

Erica and Justin were down from London so I got to see them. Really happy about that. Love those guys and I know I have said it before, but we do not get together enough!


We all went to the Nest. It was very dead at first (which we are still fine with) But quickly picked up. Had a blast saw people I knew so it was a good time.

Sunday mornings. I usually clean and did that today. Well went online, cleaned, went online, cleaned..yadda yadda. Going to clean some more when I am done my post too. I am going to make a cheese cake today and home made Shepherds pie. Yummy. it is going to be a good dinner. Also will be watching Greys tonight. It better be a new one because after the Survivor thing this week I don't think I will be able to handle a re-run of Greys!

(trying to add pictures and for some reason they wont upload. Will have to wait and try again later)

More to come

For all of you who didn't think I could do it. Who had no faith in the whimp named Tanya. Well I have proven you all wrong. It is done. It is awesome. I am tougher then I thought. I did not chicken out. I will post picture very shortly but I haven't taken any yet. I also don't have the time. I have less then an hour to get ready and showered but i can't do anything before I have my coffee. I better get moving now the coffee is brewed. Hopefully I will be able to write tonight but I really don't think I will have a chance until tomorrow.
peace out y'all!

Life before me

So...as you may know, I did not post yesterday. Really I wasn't going to post tonight either. I have nothing interesting to write about. I am sure you all want to know the details of my grocery shopping but I will spare you. It was uneventful.

Watched some tv when I got home and now..blogging.
I am sure that if I had Evelynn tonight I would have had something nice or maybe even funny to write about, but I don't and I wont have her until tomorrow.

Well, talking to Erica right now about getting my tattoo this weekend. I am really excited about getting it but at the same time scared. I don't want to whimp out. I wont but i am a little chicken. My lunch bunch moms are really upset that I am getting a tattoo but I am trying to tell them that it doesn't change who I am and I will still be the sweet ol' me. I am sure I will be able to handle the pain though. I am tougher then I think I am. April says I am the strongest person she knows...but I don't think she means physically. But pain is all mental hehehe.

Anyway if I did whimp out (which I wont) and end up with only a dot I will just tell everyone that was my plan and I got the whole world. Just like Phoebe did on friends. (Thanks Vicky)

The title to this blog is Life before me which is intended for Evelynn really. It is really funny how one little person can change your life so much. Sometimes the thoughts do cross my mind of where would I be now if I had never had had her. I wouldn't want to be there I can tell you that because I would never give her up for the world (even the on the most testing of days) but you do wonder. My guess..if I had to guess would be that I would still be working at the daycare or that I would now be a teacher in some school. I don't think I am missing out on anything super exciting. I would not have become rich or famous. I am rich now. Rich with the love I have for my daughter and the love I receive from her. (I know it is cheesy but so very very true)

What did my life consist of before her? Well nothing too different from what it is now other than my focus. No longer is it on myself as number one but as Evelynn being number one.

Future plans...yes I do have plans for myself but they are more for the benefit of Evelynn. I want to make lots of money to be able to put Evelynn in all sorts of fun activities. I want to be able to put a good roof over her head and food in her belly. I want her to wear nice things (don't have to be name brand just clean and in good condition) I don't want to worry about coming up with money for school trips or books. So, not about me but about Evelynn. I know money is not the answer to life's problems.

My focus is also on being a good loving mother to Evelynn. To find activities we can do together like our nightly dance or trips to the library. Lovely mommy moments (as i call them)

I do still find time to enjoy myself (and it is not all that hard when I only have her 50% of the time for now) so this post totally went off to nowhere and I don't even know what I was trying to say. Everyone knows I love my daughter, I know I love my daughter and most important she knows I love her.

At least I got my post in and don't feel like I have been slacking in the posting department.

Library = fun

I know this is late but I haven't had much time to write. Saturday my computer was in use by the lovely April. She started her very own blog so I can bet she will be over very shortly to do another post. She really is an amzing writer and I am thrilled she has found an outlet she enjoys. I love to read her work and hope she will post some of her poems. awww creative April.
So...Saturday. Big day. Took Evelynn to the Library for the very first time. I knew she would love it and I was right. April went with us too and I think she had almost as much fun as Evelynn. We read a lot of potty books (as I really want this to be done with) and lots of animal books. I enjoyed it and am looking forward to going again with her. Nothing like a free outing. Evelynn didn't want to leave and was asking on Sunday if we could go to the library again. I think it was a big hit.
Saturday night after Evelynn went to bed April, Joe, Aleshia, Kenny and of course Sara was here. We played some poker and I totally kicked butt. The least likely one to win won. I was impressed and amazed at myself. Of course they will tell you they weren't trying but we know the truth. I am just a natural! hehehe
Played phase 10 which is an awesome card game. Aleshia brought it. I played it once before when i was pregnant so it was a while back. I quickly caught on and really had a blast! I hope we can play it again soon. This time finish it. Maybe this weekend we can get together and play. I sure hope so.
Ok..on to Sunday (this isn't taking as long as I thought maybe I will still be able to get to bed early....earlier) Well Sunday was not such a good day with Evelynn. I don't know if it is because she was feeling under the weather, didn't get enough sleep or because she is two. Let e tell you she was really really moody. I had to give her a time out for trying to kill the cat. I put her in her room and she really freaked out but stuck to my guns (which i need to do more often but it is really really hard) After that she did listen better. Until we went to Teppermans (I will get to that in a minute) We made some cookies which were fantastic! Loved them! I love to bake with her because it is so cute and something she really enjoys doing (making happy mommy memories) She ate a big lunch and had a tiny nap (only an hour I could have used longer) Watched finding Nemo and then Mommy (I) had the great idea of going to teppermans. I just had to look for a new couch. I found one! It is awesome. It is huge! It is sooo comfortable. Most important it was cheap. Only $450 for a brand new couch. I is a lazy-boy one too so the two end spots have leg rests that come out. I am in love with my new couch! well when we were at Teppermans it was hard to keep Evelynn still and holding my hand. She was pulling on my arm and falling on the ground and just being a real....
So I was not too impressed. I gave the Mommy look sooo many times I thought my eye would fall right onto the floor then and there and I could die of embarrassment. Well of course that didn't happen but I can tell you the embarrassment was there. It is done and over with now and I have a great couch. My friends no longer need to sit on the floor! (Yes my friends would rather sit on the floor then my old couch, thats how bad it was.)
Onto my least favourite day od the week! Monday. Work, work, work. Got it done and over with. It actually was a slow day which I was surprised about. Mondays are usually one of the busiest days. My parents had Evelynn from 12:30 on because Ann had the day off. So I drove to their house. Finally got my chilli dinner and Evelynn actually liked it this time. I loved it. My Mom makes the best chilli. I think Evelynn had a good time. They played outside a lot today and got super muddy. All kids love to get muddy. Good thing was her coat was washed when I got there. Good ol' Grandma! Evelynn didn't want to leave and actually wanted to spend the night. I don't know what would have happened if she was really to spend it..maybe we will have to find out soon. She is getting to that age I think and hopefully she will like to do that and not be any problems.
Well I really need to get some rest so until next time...

Keepin' it real

YEAH! It's Friday! I love the weekends. I am really excited about this one too. Looking forward to speding some Mommy daughter time with Evelynn. Should be lots of fun. She just amazes me with how much she knows and how smart she is. She is growing up so fast. there isn't a day I am with her that she doesn't blow me away with some knew knowledge. One of my fave parts about being a Mommy. I am not stressed like I was when she first came back. Everything is back to normal if not better. She is going to bed without any problems at all. Sleeping longer. Being more creative with her pictures and art. (she draws a lot of pictures of me now and they are sooo cute. Although i never knew I had sooo many eyes. hehehe) Not to say there are not a few areas that need to be worked on. Like having her clean up after herself. Mostly toys cause she doesn't mind putting her dishes in the sink and cleaning the table off. She actually asks to do that. Potty training is still in process. She did pee pee at Anns twice today which is exciting! Ohhh and listening to me when she is hurting the cat. Poor Meow. She picks her up by the neck and I end up freaking out trying to get her to put Meow down. I swear one of these days she is really going to cause some damage. Lets hope not though.
So April came over today and we watched Malibu's Most wanted. April fell asleep half way through and is still sleeping now. I tried to wake her but..well you know.
I was a funny movie and i actually enjoyed it. I wouldn't have picked it out myself to watch but now that I have seen it..it was alright.
Tomorrow night Aleshia is supposed to come over for a visit. I am excited about spending sometime with her. We don't see each other enough. I think anyway. So I think we might play a boardgame or something. That should be fun. April might come and I will ask Sara to play. Hopefully no Police get called as you know how we like to party. I hope the dice rolling doesn't get out of hand. geez
I suppose I should wake April up now and go to bed myself. Need my beauty sleep.

Rock stars Girlfriend

Just wanted you all to know I am a rock Stars Girlfriend. Or better known as a GROUPIE! hehehe. Kenny has been doing a lot of shows lately and has some cool ones coming up. The one in Ottawa should be awesome and I am really excited for him. The cool thing is they are renting a bus and taking a bunch of their fans with them. Yes they have a following. They are a really cool band and some day some how I am going to learn how to make my blog play music (I know if can be done) and will add one of their songs on here.
The whole title to this blog is a joke though. Kenny said it at dinner and I told him I would use it for tonights title. I am a lady of my word. What can I say?
Well for tonight Kenny came over. Had a nice quick dinner and just chatted. I enjoy talking with him. Was talking to him about how I want to get a tattoo so badly. I have wanted the same one for 10 years now so maybe i should get it. I really don't think I would regret it. What is holding me back more than anything is the pain. I am worried it will hurt way too much and I will either look like the biggest baby there ever was or I will whimp out half way through and be stuck with half a tattoo. :(
I really do think that I will get one this summer for my birthday. I want stars on my feet. Just three. But I saw this tattoo when I was looking tonight and really really liked it. So I dunno what to do. I think I just need to bite the bullet and do it. Get-her-Done. Or so to speak.
I have Evelynn this weekend. I am really hoping it is nice out so we can spend lots of time playing outside. Should be a fun weekend with her. I believe April is going to come by to spend some time with Evelynn since she hasn't since she got back. Aleshia said she would come by one night to watch a movie too. Will be nice to spend some time with her. I hardly see her enough. I also want to start my Spring cleaning this weekend. I should go through my closet because 90% of my pants are too big now. Which is a good thing but leaves me with little to wear. I wont be seeing kenny until Sunday he is too busy for me!! hehehe just kidding. He has stags and does and such to go to. Sundays = Greys days. Hopefully it is on this week. Wasn't on last week.
Ok I think that was a long enough post hopefully some of you managed to read it all.

Catch-Up

I haven't had time to post since Monday night. I feel so bad becuase I wanted to post...but life got in the way. Which is a good thing. Just really watched too many movies this week that ended too late. Watched Mr & Mrs Smith on Tuesday and last night watched Walk the Line. I will start with Tuesday.
Well got sent home from work on Tuesday because I was feeling ill.Bit of the flu realy. I feel all better now so thats good. Tried to sleep when I was at home but couldn't. Tried to twice. Atleast I got to lay down and relax though and that is important.
Had Evelynn Tuesday night. When I was cooking dinner we worked on puzzles and I was really impressed with how well she did. She is so smart it really amazes me.
After Evelynn went to bed April came to watch a movie and just to relax. So we Watched Mr & Mrs Smith like I said above.
Last night I had to take my phone in because it wasn't charging. I need my phone it is the only phone I have. It is being sent away for repairs. Looks like it is the battery which sucks. i have only had it since October. They gave me a phone to use while mine is being fixed and it sucks. So cheap and small I want my phone back!
So usually we do Karaoke Wednesday nights but no one was feeling up to it. April feels like she is starting to get a cold and Kenny has been super sick. I told Kenny to come over so I could take care of him and cook him dinner.
He came and he was soooo sweet! I swear he must have read my last blog but he says he hasn't read it in a week. I called him at 7 because he was supposed to be here at 6 and I was worried something had happened. Well when i called he said I am in the driveway do you want to meet me outside I have a surprise for you. Well of course I wanted to!
He got me some lovely flowers!! And picked out two girly movies that he knew I wanted ti watch before! How sweet is that!. So we had a romantic night (with Sara and April) Gosh he is so sweet. The card read basically (not going to write the whole thing) 'Thanks for being you and making me feel the way I do." AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW How amazing is he!! Ya so I am still riding high off of that! So we had a romantic night. Just the four of us! Dinner was great and everyone but me had to do the dishes (I cooked so you know how it goes)
Ok well I am just happy I had time to put something down. Tonight I hope I will have time to write another blog so I am not writing a fast one in the morning before work (again)

When Harry Met Sally

AWESOME awesome movie! I really did enjoy it. I didn't think i would like it as much as I did. I finally saw the classic and I understand why it is a classic. Glad I have it in my DVD collection.
Why do I love romance soooo much!!? I want to be romanced and swept off my feet! I suppose any girl wants that really. Can those things really happen or is it just for movies? Kenny has done some pretty romantic things I must say. I think spontaneous flowers and cooking me dinners are all pretty romantic. Really I have nothing to complain about.
So put in another day of work. 9-5. Felt ill in the afternoon but got better by the end of the day. Maybe it was just because I was so tired. Meow the cat kept me up all night. How can I love her and hate her at the sametime? She really does drive me crazy..but then there are those moments when she is such a sweetheart I think how can i get rid of her?! But I have to think of the room mate. Evelynn too. Evelynn is a bit rough with her at times and that is not good for Meow. I think she might be too young to deal with a kitten. I really don't know where she gets that mean streak from because I know I wasn't like that with animals and I am sure Mark wasn't either. Since he can't even kill a spider.
Had a great night with Evelynn. She was a lot of fun. Took her shopping after work for some groceries and she did ok. She got to sit in the cart if she sat on her bum. Near the end she started to test and the rule was if she wouldn't sit on her bum I would put her in the seat. Well I followed through and she ended up in the seat. She screamed and cried but I stuck to my guns. Other moms and ladies iin the store were looking and smiling at me. I knew what they were thinking. Been there done that right. The bond of motherhood right.
Well after we got home and had dinner we do a nightly dance. I fill the sink to wash the dishes and turn the radio on. We dance and shake our booties. Mommy washes some dishes and watches Evelynn dance and join in off and on. This is becoming my favourite part of the day. I love our nightly dances and I know Evelynn does because after dinner she is asking for dance time. Feels good. I just keep thinking i am filling in some good childhood memories she will be able to look back on and remember.Special mommy time.
Bedtime. No problems there at all. Read our books and off she went. the I watched my movie. Matt was over he liked the movie too. I think Matt may be pregnant but he isn't sure yet. hehehe He is retaining water. HAHA
well time for bed now.

Saturday night

Well another weekend in the bag. They just go by way too fast. Well to be honest so does life. SLOW DOWN!
Anyway...Saturday night was a lot of fun. Went to a stag and doe with Kenny and Sara. Sara and I didn't know anyone but it was Kennys cousins stag. Met a lot of his family there and I am sure i will see them soon when we go to the wedding. They were all super nice. I was really glad Sara came too. We had a lot of fun just being the silly girls we are. hehehe
After that we went to the nest just to see if we knew anyone. Kenny's friends band was playing there. I had seen them once before with Kenny after our first date we drove by a bar in the middle of nowhere and happened to see they were playing. Funny we just happened to see they were playing again. They was really good. The are called the Whalling band (i am pretty sure thats it)
Sunday..I went out for breakfast with Sara, Kenny, Matt and his friend from Hamilton Aimee. Was a lot of fun. Good laughs. Also I made a bet with Kenny that I could finish my plate. I totally won! No one believed I could do it. It was hard and I don't think I will need to eat for the next week. But I showed them HAH!
After breakfast / lunch (since it was at like 1) i wanted to have a nap so badly. I tried really hard but after an hour of trying to fall asleep i gave up. Just couldn't do it. I am not good at napping!
Went to my moms for dinner and to get my income stuff ready and all together. Going to file it on Tuesday and I really hope that i get stuff back. I could use the money.
Thats all folks. Need to rest for Monday morning. Yuck.

In the water I am beautiful

I cannot believe this. I cannot! Let me tell you..today the landlord came over and basically told me he is going to be kicking us out if he gets another complaint from the (insert swear word here)people next door. We all know that will happen cause all we have to do is sneeze and they complain. The landlord was saying I know you like to party and blah blah..which is so not true. We don't party at all! we don't have people over. It is really not fair. Also the reason they were banging on the wall Thursday morning I guess is because we were sleeping and Robert was up on his own! Really give me a break! we were both up. This is just crazy. He said they were going to call CAS on us and we are lucky they didn't. I said I didn't care because we weren't doing anything wrong and they would look silly. He said that what he might have to start doing is just showing up and I told him I wanted him to do that then he could see how NOT loud we really are. He was talking like he would catch us throwing a huge house party or something.Give me a break! Why are we getting such a hard time here!
So they time has come to move. I think we have no choice really.
I had wanted to write about the fun night I had last night but instead I get this crap. Leaves me speechless really.

Clang Bang Rattle!

Ok, this is strange! I am not sure if everyone is aware of the typ of people I live next to. (I am in a fourplex) How they don't like us to talk after 9 and if we do they bang on the walls or call the cops and also call the owner so we get a talking to about talking.
Anyway..so I wake up this morning and sara is feeding Robert in the kitchen, I am at my computer with the morning coffee to get me started and then I hear some banging..really fast banging. The cat comes running into the livingroom. I had thought Sara was doing it to scare the cat away. She walks into the living room and goes..what was that?! They were pounding on the wall! I don't know why..but I know they were because next thing they were pounding on the livingroom wall and then up the stairs. It stops for a minute.
I am standing in the kitchen now talking to Sara wondering what is going on because we are not making any noise. The wall starts pounding again! Pounding so hard my picture (a big wooden one) was jumping and I really though it might fall.
This is just crazy! There is no rerason for that at all. For all they knew one of us could have been sleeping. So When the landlord comes tonight to get the rent I will mention it to him. Not like anything will be done about it (Oh more pounding??? WTF?!) Anyway...not like he will do anything about it even though we are the only ones that pay rent everytime on time.
Some peoples Kids!! (and no it is not the kids doing the pounding!)

Over the hill

Well hardly. But it was my stepdads last day of work on Tuesday. So we went for a nice meal today. It was yummy and I ate way too much. I had two plates of food...but it was sooo good and I just couldn't help myself. (and it wasn't like i filled them both heaping tons either) I bought my dad flowers which he thought was sweet and couldn't believe there were for him. and some puzzle books since he will have some more free time and I know how he likes to do them. He had some beer before he got there i guess, and I could tell. It was funny because he never ever drinks. I am just glad to see him in a good mood and having fun.
After dinner Kenny and I went to Matts house. We picked April up on the way. Our weekly singing contest. We are branching out though. I guess on Friday we are going to sing for real in front of people. Well I am not but they are. It should be a lot of laughs. April and I are going to have a dance off. hehehe not really.
anyway..i am tired..my bed is calling me and I am sure one day soon I will have time to write a real blog.

Sing for the year!

Anyone who actually reads this may be wondering where I have gone to. I have just been busy so unable to post a good blog. I don't have the time to right now either as I need to get ready for work. Hopefully tonight if it is not too late I can post a longer blog. I am having dinner with my parents and their close friends tonight and then going to matts to sing our hearts out. Matt, Kenny, April and I. Maybe Sara but i don't think so.
Evelynn seems to be getting better. Sara and Erica watched her on Monday night and she actually went to bed for them. I was really surprised. Happy about that. She slept until 5am. So good.
Hopefully she is turning back into her self and getting back into the routine.
Must run for now.
