15 Minutes Until I Have To Go And Get Samara Again

HOLY FRICKING CRAP it was COLD this morning. Poor Donavan Hates the cold.

The new neighbor came up first thing this morning to ask that we try to keep the kids from running as much as possible. She was very nice about it and she came back with an orange columbia jacket for samara. SCORE. ;) She needed a new jacket. Hers wasnt warm at all.

Iris picked donavan and I up. we walked teh stadium a bit then I borrowed her skates and totally went skating for the first time in forever. IT WAS SO FUN. I forgot how much I LOVE skating. Didnt even fall. (though there were some close calls.) I cant wait to go again!!!!!!!!!! Ill bet I ahve some sore spots tomorrow!!!

A friend of mine and fellow blogger has decided to stop blogging which makes me sad. She and I dont really talk much but before I could read what was new in her blog.

I found 2 old friends's (haha punctuation police.... and a spell checker please?) blogs. Theyre awesome people. I added them to my blog role on teh side there. Jenn Walker was my very best friend in Ontario and she was my very best friend after I moved. We fell distant a few years ago which broke my heart but it was my fault (Ill take the blame). She was supposed to come to NS and stay over on her way to somewhere else and stay with us (I was pregnant with Samara and living with my parents). It was all planned until my parents decided that that week would be a great week to go to the valley 6 hours away and go to Upper Clements Park. It would be cutting it close (we would be home like, the DAY before Jenn and her mom got here.) But at 17/18ish I had no say in the matter and that was that. Well low and behold my family had such a great time at upper clements they decided to stay an extra day. You can imagine how I felt. I had spent the WORST day of my life (Picture it: at an amusement park and the only ride youre allowed on is the paddle boat while your whole family goes on the rollercoaster adn floom over and over leaving you on a bench...) THEN when you survive that being told that it was decided that the family vacation was more important than what I had going on in Amherst the next day and so I was stuck there. I was so embarrassed over my family screwing my friend that I never really REALLLLLY sought Jenn out to apologise to her and her mother.

And so Jenn (If you ever actually read my blog) I AM SO SORRY FOR 6 YEARS AGO!!! And I understand if you were mad at me.


And so I have to go get Samara...

Everyone go check out Jenn and Mark. Theyre awesome (or they were in 6th grade... keep it up guys!!!!)

Oh Wow

Found another OLLLLLD friend on FB, one of my favourite childhood best friends (Right there with Jenn Walker from the year in Ontario!) Robin and I were friends in Dartmouth where I lived when I was 6-7. I remember her mother loved Bingo and she would take us to the hall with her and we would go to the Wendy's next door and get cups of water adn put all the free condiments in it and dare each other to drink it. I fell and skinned the HELL out of my knee on one of those excursions and BOY was my mother PISSED to know that we at 6-7 were allowed to roam free in the city while Robin's mother played Bingo.

:):):)

She is the only friend I remember bathing with. LOL. and I still have a glass cat she gave me.

Terry had brought home glass cats for laura and I and Ryan had gotten ahold of them and smashed them together. mine broke and I was so upset. The next time I was at Robins she gave me one off her shelf in her room. She had the coolest room with a Beauty and the Beast bed set.

So freaking cool

While bored today on Facebook I searched a few old names and sent a message (or 2 LOL).

Totally got a reply back adn she REMEMBERS ME!

This isnt a high school or jr high thing. This is Greenwood, 1994, I was 9 and she was the first in a long long long lonnnng line of children I would be told I couldnt play with. Celisha was a "bad Influence" and I didnt listen when I was hanging out with her. Oh and she gave my sister "the finger". Laura tattled, we lied, etc.

It was a crazy thing.

It was all:

me: Odd question but did you ever live in Nova Scotia?

her: Hi Lisa!!! Greenwood! its been a LONG time.


Is anyone else AMAZED when people they remember remember them?

and am I self imported becuase I think I am the only person with the mental capacity to remember old friendships?

Bah, Still excited!

A Day Like Many Others...

Except today I had subway. MMMM SUBWAY.

Maggies place this morning for you make the difference. As I take this program for the 3rd time I realize that I rock this parenting biz. I dont need to learn any of it (again) becuase I already know. The program teaches about being more in touch with your kids, sharing new experiences and making the most of your time together. One of teh lessons if to make the important words stand out. And I so do. Such as, "Donavan dont hit your SISTER with that plastic bat, hit your DAD." See, important words.

After Maggies Place I came home (So exciting... I know). When it was time to pick samara up one of my better off friends was practicing the biblical lesson, more blessed to give than recieve. She brought over 3 bags of pantry items and some tissue. It was such an awesome thing for her to do. She also gave someone SOMETHING (shes got a strong newfie accent sometimes and occasionally I have been known to nod like I understand, case in point, today) and she gave another friend some books that her children would like. She is such a good friend, would do anything for a person :) More people should be like her!

Once Samara was home I tidied a bit. Samara was starving and having a pickyfit too so though she was huingry she would NOT accept the choice of sandwich I gave her. Aparently she didnt eat her chips for her lunch snack. Why I asked? The teacher would let her becuase she wouldtn eat her sandwich. Well hurray teacher. About time someone stood up to her picky, spoiled eating habits (besides me). Maybe next time she will eat the sandwich I lovingly in a hurry pack for her in teh morning 3 minutes after she SHOULD have left for school. Anywho... In short I wasnt sure what teh appropriate response was.... be angry that the teacher wouldnt let her eat teh snack I sent for her to enjoy at lunchtime or use it as a lesson to MZ PRISSYEATER that unlike what nanny teaches at her house the world doesnt revolve around what she wants to eat when. EAT YOUR MF SANDWICH OR ELSE is mroe often my response. (and if you take offense to me yelling MF at my 5 year old A) shut YO MF MOUTH... and B) obviously it is a dramatic reinactment.... therefore MF is used to suggest I was frustrated... though I may have said, if you dont want a freaking sandwich when ALL WE HAVE IN THE HOUSE IS BREAD AND YOUR CHOICE OF PEANUTBUTTER OR NONAME CHEESEWHIZ THEN YOU CAN STARVE! <<>>

In short I agree with what the teacher did and I informed Samara of that and WHY I agree'd with the teacher and am not going up in arms about it. (though despite her picky ways, my child is luckily a 'go with the flow' type and accpeted her no sandwich then no chips fate with nary but a IM STARVING complaint.)




Can I stop here and apologise for my shitty typing skills??? I dont understand it, I spend as much time on the puter as before (maybe even more now that Im actually DOING the project I should ahve started ummmmmm in the beginning of the summer.... ). I just suck... I am speedy Gonzola.



Once Kev got home, he was all like, GET YO MF BOOTS ON BIATCH! and I was all, YES YOUR SUPREME SEX GODINESS.

Once Kev got home we got ready adn all walked to the mall area. We went to subway (yum) Samara turned in ehr free kids meal slip and got a balony sandwich and juice box. (yes, i know), Kev got steak and cheese 6 inch and I got a FOOT LONG MONSTER of a veggie delight (with toooo much MAYOOOO) i only ate half and saved the rest for ohhh about an hour ago. YUM.

Then liquidation world.

Then Walmart.

Kev bought Fall Out 3 and got a littlest pet shop for Samara. She asked very nicely if wed buy her something. She got one with a little pile off poop, newspaper, and a scooped. TOO FRICKING CUTE. and wierd.

Then we went grocery shopping YAY and home again where we are now.



Remind me to tell you about my project, Lazy blogger is kicking in.


****** Yes I did say pile OFF poop and SCOOPED. It wasnt your imagination.

I know I am showing off now arnt I?

:)

Like my new layout? Thank you.

Cant take all teh credit. I undecorated my house from halloween after trick or treating andf the kids going to bed. then I was tinking I had to get rid of teh black and orange I had going on on the ol blog. Then I said nayyyyyyyy toooo layyyyyy-z.

The DEB changed hers to the pretty aqua greenyness. And so to keep up with the jones-es I changed mine too last night.

WTG me.


Finalllly got my maintanence last night... too late to get anyone to take me to pay it, thank you very much.

fate would have it i am never going to be my landlord's favourite. after maggies this morning im going to go to the bank (PLEASE DONT BE TOO COLD) then I am going to let him know it is here ;) Then let him know I am not going to be ontime like i thought i would this month. No sirree. It sounded like a good idea to borrow 200 from kevs sister on tuesday and that combined with kevs 500$ cheque would pay our rent and I could pick up 50$ worth of stuff we need... Except we need too much. DIAPERS and MILK top begin with. theres 20$ plus wipes, 25$. plus god knows what else for 2 weeks of broke again. Nahhh.


well gotta go get samara to do her homework and dress everyone.

(Plus read teh online paper... remind me to call and cancel teh subscription today)

Beware... I am Blogging again

Or dont beware ;)

Donavan is sittign in teh toybox playing with a barbie and samara is waxing poetic about a sunfllower that died at my motehr's house. while I work on a Pogo badge. I think my neighbors downstairs are fighting (she said she was going to kick him out after the weekend so maybe?) or theyre laugh? maybe? The upstairs neighbors kept kevin up last night again with their outrageously loud music. a day in the life and all i guess. ive been up foir an hour and a half and i havent done anythign but make the kiddies toast. I finished my book last night so today I shall be searching for another one to read. Ive been on a historical romace kick lately. its a guilty pleasure. The men are so big and strong and the women (in johanna lindsay's books at least) defy convention by being absolutly strong and independant.

Ive been trying to get ahold of a friend of mine for a week now. GRR. LOL. I feel like i am bugging her or somethign when i call. its hard to say if she even knows ive been calling. LOL. her man doesnt give messages and aparently he is the type who RUNS to the phone to see who has called.

I guess ill go and call her again LMAO.

:)

Yesterday was such a great day I had to blog about it...

Starting with the night before:

Kev had a couple guys down to have some beer. I was bored out of my tree alot of the time but it wasnt that bad I guess. Any excuse to stay up late and have people around.

Yesterday morning Kev came in and woke me up at around twenty to 8 in the morning. He was up so he figured I must be too, right??? He wanted to go for breakfast and maybe stop by angela's yardsale (way out by the soccer fields...). We got up, chucked donavan in the stroller and headed out. Sherry'shairdresser neighbor/ friend was haveing a yardsale too so we figured we would head up by there and take a look. I spent about 5 bucks...

The highlights:

-Fur Real friends kitty for a quarter. it has batteries in it and it works. It is about the size of Valentine and reallly looks like him... Ive gone to tell "him" to get off the table a few times last night... Donavan keeps hauling it to the catfood/ water to "feed" it... So cute.
-walking barbie dog.
-3 books, bus driver from the black lagoon, corderoy, and a kids bible story book.
-2 anne geddies pictures. a small one of a baby sleeping on a high pile of towels. I put that in the bathroom on top of the shelf thing. the other is bigger and it is the teddy bears picnic. I hung that in Donavan's room by his bed.
-a wiggles guitar
-some fairy wings

Then we headed to mcdonalds for breakfast. It wasnt bad. LOL. what you get is what you get.

After mcD's we walked (in the scorching heat) to Brentwood to Angelas yardsale. Kev got a few vhs's and I got a beauty and the beast sheet for samara's bed, a cabbagepatch bear (Furkids or whatever) in great condition with ALL of her clothes, and a book by Tami Hoeg that I havent read yet. Yay.

Then to Walmart where we got kev a new pair of shorts finally. Then the mall where we met up with Kelly and had a fast chat. then A&W for lunch/ SO FREAKING expensive but i love it in there. LOL.

We stayed home the rest of teh day :):)

Today some cleaning... starting with more clothes to hang out. Yay,,,, :P

:)

:):)
I feel great today :):)

I tidied teh livingroom a bit, put on some music, got dressed... MAKE-UPED perty and am now ready to get things done.
I was signed up for a morning thing at maggies tomorrow but Henri and I made coffee plans so well have to miss the maggies thing this time.

Stephanie is supposed to come over today toget her hair dyed. Hopefully she shows up early becuase im thinking around 3 i might pack up my boy and head for sherry's so Donavan can play in his pool :):)

Well Off to do a load fo laundry and some dishes...
