Getting it done!

Bathroom is cleared out (toothbrush and cleaners nonwithstanding of course). Samara's room is done (besides bed, stand vith vcrs, and drums. Hallway closet is next to mark off my list ;) )

Lisa is supposed to coem and look at teh tv stand. She wantst o try to get in it her car with seats down. I hope she manages it, it would be a huge relief to have it gone!

We're getting sherry's car later to take a few boxes up and get everything ready for tomorrow with the truck!

A bit more garbage to go out, plus a couple things on roadside for next weeks spring cleanup.

I am so excited. The siren call of the computer isnt even too distracting today! Cant wait to get it out of the livingroom LOL.

The plan now that Donavan is gone until I move:

Today:

1. wait for woman to come and get toy
2. fill 1 garbage bag in back porch
3. get samara
4. check is garbage was taken
5. IF YES take out garbage so far. IF NO fold and put away laundry in everyone's bags
6. dishes
7. finish up and tape 3 boxes
8. start supper

This Blog Silence Deafens Me

Is that even how you spell deafen? Looks too weird.

Had my ladies over last night for drinks! Super fun! I got super smashed. I find that occasionally I have teh urge to go out and drink and make a fool of myself. And I find that if I plan an occasion where I can do that then I can curb the desire for a long time. Here what it comes down to. I hate being drunk and I hate eing hungover. And I SUPER hate going to bed drunk. SO when I start feeling like everyone else ym age is out partying and I am stuck home all the time wasting my youth then all it takes if 1 evening of overdrinking and being ill to make me thankful that I am more mature than those who do that. So thank you hangover. I can go back to being a social drinker.

Packing is going well. I am really seeing a difference now. The computer desk adn area is still the same but everything else is A-1.

:)

Well, Kev wants the computer so I am going to go start supper. Shake n bake chicken and mashed potates with boiled veggies. I am going to tape some boxes and try to get a little less freaking out adn a little more Zen... Like my new lucky bamboo.

So He Wanted To Show The Place

I pretty well figured that.

The whole packing and cleaning as I go isnt working for me so I have moved to another strategy. Room to room. (If you say I told you so or duh Ill smack you.)

Ive started in teh bathroom becuase I scrub bathrooms for extra spending money LOL. I cleared it out and I am going to go scrub in a few minutes.

Then the hallway, then samaras room.

Ill let you know how that goes.

UGHHGHG

LOL

Yesterday my freaking landlord called 4 times. I didnt feel up to it so I didnt answer. This morning I bit the bullet and called him. no answer. Way to push back teh inevitable.

Donavan and I were both away wayyy early. He just finished an epic tantrum.

I ahve some cleaning and a bit more packing planned today. :)

8 More Sleeps

8 more sleeps until the big move. I am so excited... can you tell?

Teaching Donavan manners was a huge success until he asks for a drink. I have been trying to get him to say drink please but instead he says, "Want drink now, want drink now." Ah well. He says please when promted and automatically says thank you. And he says sorry when he should. He also replied sorry when someone else says it.

More packing and cleaning today. Plus my mother is supposed to come and pick me up to take me and get my birthday gift. Pretty sure she is getting me clothes again this year. I need to call Betty and see if she'll keep my crazy baby becuase Mom doesnt want to take kids.

Party here is in a few days. I cant wait! It will be so much fun. :D:D Drinky drinky.

Samara is wearing a shirt with an apple on it that says, "Bite me." I wonder if that is inappropriate for school? Probably.

Donavan "want drink now!"

Wow, I am Exhausted

Wednesday morning. (Not including today...) 9 days left!

Plans for today...

Finish laundry.

Finish dishes and start a box of them.

Small book shelf cleared off and put in the pile.

It doesnt sound like alot but it will make a big difference.

Hopfully UCC is in today. If it is then Ill try to hit the bank if my mother comes with mroe boxes.

EA Sports messaged back yesterday. He submitted a refund and well have it withen 10 business days. I am really hoping they are on teh ball and we get it earllly.

It is pouring so I am working out samara walking with roberta and mackenzie to school. WETTTT.

LOADS DONE TODAY!

Short day at work today. Tawnya came home with me and helped out with cleaning. She is a far better cleaner than I am and alot got done! I finally got some boxes (Thanks Mom ;)) so big packing plans for this evening. I want to take a nice chunk of of whats left so Id best get started.

Have I Blogged Yet Today?

Went to Maggies this morning. Very interesting ;)

11 days until the move!!!!!! OH YEAH.

Donavan finally snapped out of his mood. FINALLY.

Pay day tomorrow, I finaly see where we are for cash.

Things are hostile on the child support front, Went and got some papers today. We shall see if I see any money this month. Then it will be time to mail them out. I was as lenient as possible and I believe that I was very understanding but really. How much is enough? THIS MUCH.

What to pack now?

Have I Said Recently How Awesome I Am??

I am getting it done chunk by chunk! I am stuck on the random junk right now LOL but I will solve that problem soon :):)

I need to get rid of the tv stand as a priority right now I think... I should clear it off a bit and take some pictures...

Well off to discuss with Kevin.

Look At Me Go!

WOO HOOOO

Got all of the stuffed toys down from the shelf and gone through. I filled 1 clear bag with special ones and put it on the pile then got a great start on Samara's closet. I snuck in some block play with donavan and went through Samara's barbie box. There is so much barbie stuff floating aorund I think I am going to leave that ones out. I am thinking Ill put the kids other toys in packing boxes and use the totes for blankets and clothes etc. :):)

Dishes to be done and I want to go through the junk still in the livingroom :):)

After a nice game of dynomite. :)

A Little Little Else To Do Blog

:)

Plans for tomorrow:

1. Get up
2. Laundry change around
3. Feed the kids (!!!) and I breakfast
4. Computer time half hour :)
5. Fill 1 clear bag with Samara's stuffed toys (start with the high shelf in her room).
6. Bring out 2 boxes from the closet in there and tape them
7. Rest
8. Dishes all done and put away
9. Plan our meals for the remaining 12 days (!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!) from what is in our freezer/ fridge. I want to use as much grocery before we move then get a big order to start us off on the 5th.
10. Clean out said fridge. Scrub out veggie molder.
11. Laundry changeabout.

Well, we'll take it from there.

:D:D

tired and headachie. Yay.

:):)

Ill get my go back tomorrow but for tonight I am resting :)

I am still proud of my pile adn i sold 2 baby toys on fb so far. More going on tomorrow.

I had boxes all lines up, sherry was bringing them but her car wouldnt start so theyre in the parking lot of the wandelyn waiting for things to fill them LOL.

Tomorrow is toy day.

Oh What A Beautiful Morning!

I asked samara to close off the kitchen and bathroom and keep half a 5 year old eye on donavan so I didnt have to pull myself up just yet (At 7AM). And I laid there adn donavan ran in and out and I planned and plotted.

I was thinking!!!

I need a way to get samara across town to school everyday for a couple weeks to a month once we move. I am not going to yank her away from friends and her first real teacher at the end of the year. New school next year, not midway (I always hated midway yanking). I want a bike for summer... WELL, I could get a bike and trailer to haul children the 5th when we get paid!!!! I will get samara to school and get exercise pulling the 2 kids daily. GO ME! Now I am more excited than before. Its the little engine that could attitude. I think I can I think I can!!!

I am out of boxes, sherry didnt get to the boxes yesterday but she is doing it today and my parents are supposed to drop in with my birthday gift today so I am going to see if theyll help me get boxes. I am so proud of how I am doing packing. So far I havent deviated from my plan to keep boxes organized at all.

While I wait for boxes I have big plans.

I am going to charge my camera batteries nwhile I go through the kids toys. Once it is charged I will take pictures of the toys worth selling, I also have a big bag of clothes of donavan that Im thinking about putting on kijiji. Normally I am a big fan of hand me downs but I am planning on saving for somethign big... TV BIG. FLAT SCREEN TV BIG. MWAHAHAHHAHAHHAHHAA. And every doller helps big! I am so fricking excited!

How could anyone stay sad or tired on a glorious day like today!?!?!?????!?!?!?!?!?!

My washer is banging in teh background adn the sound is screaming, "GO LISA!!! YOU ROCK!!! GET SOMETHING DONE!!!!"

There is a half full of blankets box in the hallway calling for me to go through our clothes. Leave out outfits for 12 days and pack teh rest. How many pairs of jammies does everyone need, really?

Wha'dya Mean I am Out Of Boxes?!?!

Guess packing will resume tomorrow.

Bonne Fete A Moi!!!

I am officially 24! (I figured if I blogged it then I might MAYBE remember my own age this year. Last year was a little too wierd!)

Angela brought me over a cake adn some cupcakes she bakesd for me yesterday for my birthday! She is such a thoughtful person. :):)

Kev is still sleeping, he wants to spend mucho money getting me what I want so he is waiting until tuesday to get me a gift :D:D Sounds good to me. LOL. Samara wished me happy birthday when I dropped her off at the crossing guard.

Donavan... is donavan. haha.

More packing today. I think I am going to go through my books again before I put them away for good (or for moving to our trailer to be mwahaha). It is a good time to go through my collection and see what I am missing for authors and series's. There are always books that I wanted but forgot to buy and such.

A book I ordered from coles is in so maybe I can talk my handsome man into a walk later. Samara is in school :)

The countdown is on, 13 days! 13 days deb!!!! 13!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Tawnya was over yesterday and we got a good bit done in the kitchen and then the bathroom shelves. Now we are just figuring out what is coming and going and such. I think I am down to 2 boxes (lol) so Ill need more of those for sure, sherry said shell bring me some after work so its the waiting game there ;)

I am really waiting for the ceiling to crash, you know that scary feeling where everything is falling into place AHHHHHH!!!!

Quote

Kev: Well Im going to go poop.

Donavan: I'm coming!

SO EXCITED!

WE GOT THE TRAILER!!!!


HOLY JUMPING!

I am moving buddies. MOVING. to aTRAILER!!! I always wanted a trailer to live in (Arnt I sad? HAHA). I cant wait. I am packing slowly but WE ARE MOVING IN 14 days! 2 frigging weeks!

A Tuesday At Work

Worked today.

HOme now.

How exciting am I?

Met my new childcare rpovider for donavan today. I think itll work out great. (Until the end of may anyway LOL).

Making hot dogs for supper.

Miht watch a movie tonight.

Waiting to hear from my parents if tehyre taking the kids tomorrow night for me.

If they do I think were heading out.

My Birthday s friday, Big 24.

Having a party the 25th. HURRAY.

(Hoping everyone makes it).

Gotta go check teh dogs.

Hey Deb, Wanna Babysit?????

Ugh

This whole find a babysitter everytime I work thing sucks. I need to find and settle on a babysitter. Deb has been my bestest and most reliable but she works unpredictable days too during teh week and her hubby is supposed to go back to work (or already did?) Which puts me back to crazy no babysitter land. UGHHHGHGHGHG.

There's Betty but I think DOnavan runs her ragged and I hate asking her because I dont know if she is agreeing because she thinks she cant say no or because she actually wants to. ACK. LOL.

I am trying to catch roberta on fb to see if she wouldnt mind taking samara home with her after school until kev gets home at 3ish. I work monday and tuesday. I always hate asking people becuase I feel (again) like I dont know if they are becuase they know I cant find anyone else or becuase they want to and I know myself I hate feeling like I havvvve to do somehting (like with my parents lol).

Theres lacy but she can only watch him if Matt is working days becuase when he works nights he works untl 12 and wants to sleep in.

Maybe I should ask Karen if she knows someone... BLAHHHHHHAHHAHHAHAH

(I am still going to call you deb! LOL).

Wanna Bet?

Was that a challenge, my friend?

Cause Here I am. Blogging again.

About what? (You ask). How about movies?

Went to see the fast and furious this week. It was awesome movieness. I love Vin Diesel. (lol).

Yesterday teh easter bunny brought Point Break anda documentary on Friday The 13th. We watched most of the doc last night. It is awesome.

I bought stand by me for kev this week too.

I think today I will watch Twilight with Samara :):)

Well now there is a catastrophy... Pat Pat Rocket's batteries have died... GASPPPPP

The More I Blog...

The less I hvae to say.


LOL


Kev is back to work (I work tomorrow and Wednesday.) I really want to get something big done while he is gone today. I plan on making Chili (Which is always pretty big LOL). I want to do our dvd shelves. It has been awhile since theyre were neat so why not. Plus I would like to go through our clothes. We all have FAR more than we need. FARRRR MORE. If we had less clothes then less would ahve to be put away. LOL.

I would also like to get our fridge cleared out.

Those are my plans.

Easterrrr

:)

We have survived so far. Sherry took teh kids for a couple hours and we had a good nap :)

I am cooking deep fried pepperoni for supper. Might as well fo fat for the holiday, right :)

Easter Morn, Hour 2

I have survived getting up ay 7 when Samara came in and I ahve survived hour 1 from 7-8. (Kev gave i about 20 after 7). Now he is in bed until 10-11 then it will be my turn. And I am thinking that I will be taking samara with me. She came home from Mom's with a nasty cold and woke up this morning with a nasty attitude.

I think I am going to go make myself some tea and change teh cat little box. WHy? Because even on Easter teh crap doesnt end. MWahahah get it? crap, cat box. Not funny.

TodoToday

:)

I made up a new word...

My todotoday includes

Charge teh batteries to the camera.

do 3 sinks of dishes. (to free up counter space of course.)

Blow out eggs. None of us really like hard boiled eggs and the idea of leaving them out like my family always did on Easter grosses me out so we blow teh eggs out and then paint the shells. Theyre very breakable but samara was awesomely gentle last year and I think only 1 got broken.

Making cookies with the blown out eggs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I should get to these things soon. Terry's birthday is today and I wanted to include some cookies in his gift.

I absolutly need a shower today and I would like to lay down for a little bit when Kev gets up. I am really sleepy and I would hate to spend my day this way.


I tried my new tea last night, MMMMMMM it was delicious.

The Truth Hurts

Yep. I am all alone in my quest for a tidy house. I just need a game plan now. WHY OH WHY.

Whenever I think of cleaning I want to just throw up my hands and give up. It is a horrible depressing feeling. And it is even worse that somethign so stupid as maintaining a tidy house is enough to make a grown woman (me) feel this way.

Ugh. How lonely.

There is nowhere I can look that is tidy. Or clutterfree. (Or particularily clean for that matter). I truely am a suckidy suck of a housekeeper.

Then after wanting to jump out a window to avoid tis lonely task I get filled with rage. Absolute black rage. And I want to break things and though stupid shit out... A caseless cd that floated from the top of the computer tower to the printer adn now has been on the floor all day. Am I the only one who has seen it? If now is the cd some "test" of is 'she going to pick it up' to be rubbed in my face later? 'look how long THAT has been there!'

Then I shake my head and tell myself that that is paranoia talking. And obviously feeling like that doesnt help anything.

Know what also doesnt help? Thinking about cleaning that pile of papers and shoes and rug behind the chair that I am looking at. And so I will go and clean it but before I have finished the depressed sadness is back and I think about the awesomeness that is me crouched behind the rocking chair on a Friday night while home alone with Donavan who is in bed. Then I can think about how this is definatly not what I was expecting ever. A week before 24th birthday, on GOOD Friday all alone cleaning up a pile of crap (not literally thank goodness or I would be running for a razor blade, i swear to god!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!).

**********************************************************************************

Not a cry for help or anything, put away your crisis helpline books. Just a friendly example of how something so stupid as cleaning my livingroom can give calm and collected me an anxiety attack.

Id best go do something horrifyingly boring like dishes with no partner to dry them with me and try to calm the heck down.

Today is the day

We're taking the van out,

Terry is coming to pick up the baby and I (wish me fricking luck).

I already ahve a strike against me. (lol). I forgot to get the carseat from sherrys car last night so well ahve to hit her house and get it. UGHHHH (facepalm). Ah well. You win some you lose some.

On the brighter note.

This is step 1 of us having a vehicle!

Cleaning House

I know, Yeah right.

Anyone getting tired of me talking about cleaning (or not doing it)? Know why I always do? Becuase I am obsessed with the idea of a clean house. I am starting to accept that it si an unattainable goal. and I hate those!


I am quite pleased with the kitchen the past few days though... LOL

Flauntingggg

;)

I just put in the turkey. I named him Gibblitt.

Donavan is repairing his shopping cart and I am on the computer listening to music. All that she wants just came on. I tidied the kitchen some last night. I think I prefer cleaning in the evening.

I have high hopes of date night going forward tonight as planned. Some time out with Mr O'Regan will be nice.

Dreamt last night that we broke up but were both living with sherry in different bedrooms and leading seperate lives... Then teh dream became something about bootleg sex toys... I kid you not. Very wierd stuff... Is my subconsious telling me to dump kev and invest in vibrators? Hmmm... That might be worth looking into.

(joking.)

((or am i?))

Kay enough of that.


Next song is:

Hollaback girl... skipped it. Then slow shania twain one. Skipped. Sober by pink is actually playing.

Watched lie to me last night. Cant wait for 2 week til its on again. When oh when will someone confront her about her husband? UGH.

I need to get more organized. I was up early this morning btu still late egtting samara to school. Sheesh.

Down But Not Out

;)

Date night was postponed due to last minute babysitter challenges. (lol). Now I am here with a whole night ahead of me (and Kev too but if he plays warhammer he no longer counts...) What to do what to do. I dont want to watch a movie. Lego Starwars but I just finished act 5 and only avhe act 6 left (LOL) and I want to hold off on that... Ill probably read and stuff myself. MMMMM stuffed.

Turkey tomorrow. Some more cleaning perhaps. Samara has a trip to the Sugarwoods with school so she has a fun day ahead of her.

:)

Coffee anyone?

To-do Tuesday... Ermmmm Wednesday... LOL.

Next up.

Put away left overs.
Make room in fridge for Turkeyyyyy Gobbler.
Find colours for Samara to make wrapping paper for Terry's gifts.
A load of dishes,
Transfer laundry
Go through Jackets. Wash winter ones that are going away!!!
Go through mittens and such. Keep 1 set per child Just in case. Put away rest.
Gather dirty laundry to 1 spot.

Yea. Thatll do.

Holy Crazy Baby Batman

Woke up at 8 this moring totally pooped and my throat in ain. Not sore but pain. It was the same yesterday. (its feeling much better now thanks lol). I was tired!!! Donavan didnt go to bed last night until we did and he still tried to play. Not acceptable behaviour... I ahve 2 days/ 2 nights before teh birth control comes off and its been awhile! (but thats a rant for another day...). Hit the mall to pick up my step father's b-day gift, the splash pants for samara that I had forgotten 2 days in a row and finish easter. Plus groceries. Put donavan's new doggy backpack leash on him and left the stroller. Surprisingly it went well. He held my hand walking but when he wanted to drop my hand and explore while I was talking etc then he was able to safely without leaving my sight. It was awesome.

He was crabby mind you and threw a few random fits but I ignored it... Mind you I got a few dirty looks in zellers standing in line when I A) held the leash tightly so he couldnt reach the display then B) he ran at teh displays and landed on his butt yelling bloody murder. Mwhaha I am a terrible momma.

From the mall we walked over to superstore. He didnt want in the cart but I grabbed his legs so he couldnt climb out. See... meanie. Grocery shopping went quite well.

I am obviously home now and I put the groceries away. I wanted a turkey dinner so I picked up a bird and the trimmings. In a few days itll be turkeytime. gobble gobble!!

The house is super messy with alot of laundry in transition. That is my plan for today. Plus I am planning on making a few batches of bunny chocolate chunk cookies. MMMMMMMMMM.

BLOGGY

Went to Maggies today. Same ol. LOL. Lots of cleaning to do today. I want to stay up on what I have done already. I just suck at cleaning! ugh.

Donavan pooped... Guess I should go change him.

If I Dont Update I Can't Complain That Noone Else Does!

GRRR what a cranky morning. Donavan woke up and immediatly started crying... and crying... and crying. I got him some tylenol and then threw myself at the computer in an attempt to wake up. LOL. Now I am kind of dressed and kind of awake. I am planning to go to the kitchen, clear a spot for the coffee perk and get at it. First I am starting with folding laundry. I need to find and wash my black tank thing. I think Sherry and Tawnya and I are hitting teh gym today and if I even want to think about jogging etc then I need more support for the ladies. After the laundry has been started I will clean the livingroom. Mucho cleaning to do. After teh livingroom comes the kitchen. I want to make some chocolatey chunk cookies and coconut macs today. Big plans for me who hates cooking and baking. Supper tonight will be spegetti and garlic cheese bread. Yum.

I ahve packed most of teh boxes my good buddy got for me. Believe it or not the books around here have filled at least 5 boxes so far. I eventually need to go through the bags and boxes of books I havent read yet and weed out books I have no interst in reading.

Kev and I have a date planned next week for the fast and furious. he isnt intereted in seeing it but since I am not the type to force a boyfriend to see a chick flick I htink he has decided to give in a bit. It could be worse for him. Mwahahaha.

What else to say?????? Ummmmm....

Let's Try This Again

Another day another to do list. I tell ya, the work never ends.

No call yesterday (:( ) Maybe today??? (CROSSES FINGERSSSS) Ah well. Regardless. Thanks to Deb there are boxes here so I have been tryig the whole "put it out to the universae" thing. I am organizing by packing things that dont need to be out basically. I put all of the knick knacks from the dining room in a box and I started in Samara's closet organizing things there. Today I am going to tidy the livingroom and and box up my papers and binders and workbooks and such. Things that are there as a refernce but not often used. Then more Samara's room and I asm thinking kitchenware that isnt often used. (we all have that stuff eh. haha). I am thinking about re-subscribing to the paper as my next step becuase even if we dont get a call I want to be on it completely. I am tired fo teh attitude that we are stuck here/ catching up/ etc. Nope. If the oportunity knocks I am jumping all over it. And with my new resolve I am embracing some facts. a) We have 2 cats and b) we do want a dog someday. SO tehre world. LOL. That sint to say that things arnt negotiable. LOL. I am just at a point where I am sick of feeling like I shouldnt do things (like turbo jam) becuase we have neighbours beneath us. I would like to be able to take my kids out to the yard without going down a flight of stairs and dealing with lack of yard and no safety there.

Arnt I terrible, using my blog as a means not ot clean!?!?

Clarlotte is supposed to be coming this afternoon. I am so excited. If she can help me with my dicipline problems then great. My kids think I am a joke. Samara definatly doesnt respect me. for example we never go to a store without kev. Samara never bugs for a treat. yesterday at price chopper was the first time I ahve dealt with "can you buy me a treat?" "no" "why not, please, I want one, why not why not whynot." etc in forever. It was scary and annoying.

Donavan is dancing to sharing the night together by dr hook... HAHA funny. I got him singing the mini mini mini miniwheats song too.

Started watchig te Sex and the City movie last night. I ahve about a half hour left. it is LONG. I love it though!!! I miss the show. I used to watch it religiously before Kev.

This is turning into a long one, isnt it?

Kev and I bought feather pillows (he is pillow obsessed). I hate mine. I am going to trade my feather one for his other regukar one I think. The feather one hurts my neck.

Well Ive run out of topics. Off to clean.
