Ah ha A Blog
Kev is at work (He had to go back in and fill the pool a bit) and I am here with hte evil children. I speedy cleaned teh livingroom to find my dead cell phone during a fit of ARRGGGGGGG. I need to do it more often.
Today was day 1 of church youth retreat at the hotel. It was a ridiculasly easy day. I had 12 rooms. Forst thing I went through and got their wet towels and other bathroom stock. then I was informed I had to gt the glasses too. Thus my second trip through. Trip 3 was making beds and cleaning bathrooms. Then lunch. (I started at 10 and lunch was 11:30. Good timing.)
Right after lunch I was sent to held fold in laundry with Kevs mom. Thanks to the aparently shit job I do with big towels I was demoted to bathmats and hand towels. After I folded a bit I was told to take towels and finish my stays. And so I did. Then I helped a few people and was done by 10 after 2. 2:30 we left.
Then Kev and I took the children to the mall to pick up my Twilight DVD. We paused at Coles and I bought 2 charlaine harris books that were on sale. They are from her other series. I checked it online and they are book 2 and 3 so tuesday I am going to see about getting the first. :D

Holy Farking Crap Anonomous Monkey On My Back
Okay so its been a week sue me. Im sure I am only hearding it becuase Kim blogged after 2 months but WHATEVER.
So Friday Night my parents took the chidren (Both DUNDUNDUNDDDD) and I went to Henir's girlsnight party. SO fricking fun. Drank wine, little girl talk.
Bought books 5 and 6 in the Sookie Stackhouse books. 1 more to go then I have to wait until MAYYYYYY. ACKKKKKK.
This is what I do these days while not blogging... read. alot.
ITS WARM IN HERE.
Waiting for house to come on.
Deb and I rocked yesterday. We went and picked up a record played/ cabinet to surprise Kev. She and I singlehandedly carried it to the freestyle, across my not shoveled yard adn UP THE STAIRS using GIRLPOWER. (I feel like I have been giving away free handjobs at the Pub today though, wow sore forearms.) When Kev ghot home he was happy surprised. But then we were irritated surprised to find that the platter on the turntable didnt spin. Talked to kevs brother the record collector and he said it sounded like the belt and after more looking and some onlines search I agree'd. Called henri, she called Bill and in a few days her knight in shining Cyrus the virus will come riding in to fix it. GO BILL.
Waiting to hear when I get to work again. SO MUCH FUN. (seriously, you try being stuck home with my demons... scratch that.... Samara is a GOOD CHILD (for the most part)... Donavan is the Demon.
And Now to facebook for a few then finding a snack for House.

Saturday
Samara went to Sherry's last night. Ive been having such a problem with her lately with defiance. I dont know what to do. She brought her book order form to me the other day and asked if kev and I could buy her this my little pony 2 book pack that comes with a little unicorn. It is 12.99. I told her that if she was a verryy good girl until next thursday (7 days from that day) then we would get it. very good girl means no more than 2 strikes A DAY. And she has to listen and follow what she knows are the rules. I was making muffins the other night adn she wanted to help. I asked her to watch the bowl didnt fall over while I was measuring other ingredients. She wanted to pour the milk so I gave it to her. She poured it and then she grabbed the wooden spoon and tried to stir it. The bowl tiped, pouring molasses mixture all over and in teh washer and her library book (one of the only plugs in teh kitchen is over the washer so thats where I mix). I was so frustrated but getting angry and punishing her doesnt work. So i sent her straight to her room and cleaned up. When I started the muffins again I wouldnt let her in the kitchen. I think maybe not being allowed to watch was better punishment that yelling.
I started really paying close attention to what I eat the other day using sparkpeople. Thursday I did great adn finished with calories etc to spare. Yesterday I went WAYYYYYYY over. Mind you i didnt worry too much. The didnt have a listing for plain ol chicken strips so I picked one out of the list and they didnt ahve one for penne noodles so again I picked one. And I plan on rocking the eating today!
Ive done some research and I am pretty sure I have Neurotic Excoriations. Ask me how I like that. I really dont want to medicate but if it doesnt get better or I dont get betetr self control I am going to have to go fight for a prescription. The last time I did this it was my stomach and the dr insisted it was change of weather dry skin... Before it was my stomach... Who gets dry skin on thier belly? Now it is the sides of my neck. It is to the point where my necklace is irritating me but i am not goignt o take it off. I really want to stop through the power of my MINNNNNDDDDD. MWHAHAH. Yeah, whatever.
Fricking cat is still puking. WHYYYY MEEEE. If she doesnt stop im going ti ahev to break down and take her to teh vet... but if idiot with an I doesnt pay then I realllly cant afford it right now. Henri suggested taking her in and paying teh extra 80 bucks and getting her fixed. Saves the cost of the office visit but she is so dehydrated that I dont think she would be up foir surgery. ANd then to add insult to injury Valentine was hairballing yesterday. My cats are assholes.
Donavan is shitty so I must go. BLeahc. At least he isnt puking I guess.

My Day From Beginning To End
Got 2 phone calls while I was gone. First from the school... I was thinking GREAT. Samara has Lice. Awesome. (It wasnt about that, It was just her homework book that we had forgotten). The second was from the lady I had been councelling. She was thanking me for my wonderful information :D:D GO ME. That was really wonderful :)
Had left over pasta with donavan for lunch. Did Turbo Jam 20 minute workout. I think tomorrow I am going to try another one. Make myself a schedule and mix it up :):) I am going to make a meal plan too, tonight, because YES!!!! Kev gets paid tomorrow.
Picked up Samara, Kev came home, Made MORE PASTA for supper. LOL. I ate a LITTLE bowl of it. I had english muffins (2) with jam while I was waiting.
Now I am going to play on here while I wait for 6ish. The I will bath the babies.

All About The Good Intentions...
Is it so bad that I encourage nudity in my babies? I know I feel gross if I wear a maxi pad for a week, poor babies stuck in thick diapers constantly ;) Yes babies pee adn poop but by donavan's age its not like they do it constantly. And I have Samara to tell me when he goes. (She is all upo on teh hosuehold news).
Hard to believe it is 2009 already. I am still writing 1999 when I write the date. That is scary.
It is Friday, Kev is back to work tomorrow, Samara back to school Monday. Monday I ahve to get my ass up extra early, bundle both children adn walk her to school. Save me.
Lets end on a painful note.
Last week I was playing with donavan while he was relaxing on teh couch. He grabbed me by the back of my hair and pulled me down (I thought for kisses... Nope). He straightened the oehter hand and WHAP DROVE his fingers up MY NOSE. Talk about POURING blood. My eyes were watering my nose was gushing adn I was laughing from the agony of it. Dont try it at home...
Beat that for the horrible treatment you get at home. (If youre goign to step up to teh challenge though I think you should note that not even an hour after I got a phone call and instead of passing it to me or putting me on the ready, Kev threw teh phone in a funny way, making it land, end down, on my shin bone as i laid on teh couch. Mean. (Did you like my commas?)

SHOPPING DAY
OVER IT, Just needed time.
Kev stayed with donavan so i could take samara to school and then we took donavan to his moms and went xmas shoppng. We were completely done teh kids by lunchtime. Painful money later. Xmas is but once a year though, right? ;)
All thats left is a few things for my Mr. O'Regan, somethign SMALL for ryan, sherry, and Kevs gotta shop for me. YAY finally I will ahve gifts under the tree. MWAHAHA.
We watched DeathRace tonight. It was GOOOODDD BUTTTTTTT a little rushy to the end. Youll know what I am saying once you see it. One minute movie, teh next DONE type deal.
Im finishing xmas gifts (or trying to). Everytime I think I am almost done I add somethign to it. I have a couple scarves to do, 2 rugs to finish (UGGHHHH HAHA) and A TON of knitting left.
Well back to knitting.
Wish me luck.

15 Minutes Until I Have To Go And Get Samara
Went to Maggies place today for teh turkey cooking. It was yummy. Donavan had a great time. He was the only child in care so him and Heather took a walk around the track at the park across teh street.
Samara went to a farm for a class trip today So hopefully she had a great time.
Im supposed to go shopping in Halifax with my mother tomorrow, hoepfully A) the weather holds and B) she doesnt invite Laura.
Normally when something is planned she will spring laura on me last minute and i will either complain and shell tell me itll be fine, etc, etc or I wont complain but by the end I will swear never to do it again. They will gang up on me or rather against me and I will not only feel like but I will be the odd one out. Just thinking about it makes me GRRRR ish. LOL. This will be the time I will follow through on teh never again. If laura is involved I will have a magic flu that will be gone by friday. Dont doubt me. ;)
9 more minutes.
Kev called and left a message hell be coming home at 2. Im hoping hes getting a drive. Then I wont ave to take donavan and the stroller to the school. LOL.
I MUST CLEAN.

The Food Gathering
Thursday Morning The ladies I went with picked me up and we, after stopping for gas and coffee, headed out of town. We hit Truro first where one lady did a little food costing for soup at the BulkBarn. I took advantage of that and picked myself up some hot lips candy and a few candy type things for xmas stockings.
From there we hit the Truro mall. We split up (one lady seperated) and then we did a bit of window shopping. I picked up a few more xmas things at Zellers (I know, I rock the window shopping). We had a small bite at teh small food court and I bought myself an AWESOME pair of slide on sneakers and a cute pair of earrings for kev's xmas party. From there we headed to our destination. The Debert Hospitality Center.
It was an awesome place. An old military/ airforce base with "pods" for barracks. The whole convention was held in the 1 building with the rooms on one end and teh kitchen/ meeting rooms on the other. The "pods" we were in were all named after aircrafts flown by the canadian airforce. Haha I couldnt pronounce mine so Im not going to bother trying to type it. We were given 2 keys. One opened the door to the pod and the otehr your room. You went into the pod and to the side was a common area with kitchenette and seating and cable tv. To your front was a frightening set of steps (lol). youd go up a small flight and on every landing there was a door on either side of you and a "Water closet" with either a toilet or a shower, and always a sink and mirror, depending on whick floor you were on. There were 8ish rooms per pod. We were in 5 and teh other 2 ladies from amherst were in 8. The rooms were tiny with 2 small but kind of comfie beds.
The first seminar I sat in on (there was usually about 3 to choose from) was on community gardens/ children's gardens. It wasnt bad but wasnt the best I saw.
I went to the food mentor speech of course becuase I was there on teh food mentor's buck (lol). I cant wait for the training to become a mentor myself.
As the point of the 2 days was supporting local and food security (by supporting local, makes sense) we were told that all of the food we would be served was out of a cookbook called "Simply In Season" by Mary-beth Lind and Cathleen Hockman-Wert. (More about that in a few...)
The meals were AWESOME! Delicious and fresh and WOW. Soups, and Veggies, and meat and meat alternatives. There were snacks between sessions, delicious homebaked in the galley kitchen goodies. Awesome fare.
There was a speech by the minister of agriculture Brooke Taylor where he announced the 2.3 million dollar inititive to help people buy local by supporting local farmers markets in the next few years. Awesome news!
A few of us ran to Masstown and grabbed a bottle of wine or 2 for teh evening. We gathered our wine and a bit of local cheese and healthy crackers and headed for a room where we joked and chatted until about 12:30am. Then off to bed.
7:00 came SUPER EARLY! we were downstairs as a group for breakfast by 20 to 8. It was delicious, scrambled eggs, pancakes with local maple syrup, buscuits, wild blueberries. YUM.
Friday morning I went to the presentation on breastfeeding and a more breastfeeding friendly NS. I thought it was a panel discussion... I was wrong. LOL. It was a type of panel in that the speakers were seated at the front while waiting to speak. Low and behold I was one of the speakers. Everyone else had a powerpoint presentation prepared, I had nothing. LOL I super winged it. I was told afterward that I did a great job. Its a bit of a blur. HAHA. I always liked public speaking though so I had a good time.
I sat in on a session by the author of Simply In Season, Mary-Beth Lind. It was an awesome presentation about buying local and preparing according to season. So inspiring in fact that I bought the book and plan on making it my new year's resolution to start cooking according to season and buying local where possible.
We had another delicious lunch then a presentation from Av Singh on growing your own vegetable gardens. It was very interesting and informative. :)
Then home to my loving Kev who missed me very much. then the kids got home... DUN DUN DUN.
Donavan is teething. nuff said.

...
Ian sent the maintenance today. I am very surprised becuase I wasnt expecting it until saturday. We will be able to pay rent ON TIME (ish) this month!!! YAY! Way to get caught up!
I am a sucky cleaner so I didnt get much done at all as usual, better luck next time??? LOL. I managed to clean teh YUCK and crap from under the dining room table at least. seriously though I didnt do much else. I took the dirty clothes from the bathroom and straightened up the toilet paper. I folded the clean clothes and put the washer clothes to dry and more dirty to be washed. Now I am waiting for the dryer to stop to start teh cycle of laundry over again. Always a blast. Gotta pick Samara up too.
HOPEFULLY Samara doesnt have pink eye!!! Hung out with the pink crew yesterday so I am more cautious today. Last night she was playing with her eyeball in the mirror (pulling the bottem lid down) and she scratched/ irritated her eye. This morning she woke up with a swollen eye. It wasnt bright pink but now I am thinking, "OH GOD WE'LL ALL GET PINK EYE!!!" LOL. No big deal though ;)
Freaking rain. Thats all I can say about THAT.
Ever Get Tired Of Hearing I Can't Clean?
Donavan is coming home after school adn I cant wait. But I would like to have it a bit tidier before he gets here!
Plus Im trying to find kevs msi card. BLECH.
Wish me luck!

Donavan Gets In On The Video Blog Thing
To elaborate:
My landlord is supposed to pick up my late rent today (this morning). He passed us as I was walking Samara to school. No word since so I am thinking maybe he thinks I went out and therefore wont be home???
I would like to go uptown and search out some new wool today but it is FREAKING FREEZING out. So my ass is staying home.
My parents bought donavan new boots yesterday too which was awesome. my kids are ready for winter. Today I am going to search out all of our hats and mittens. Samara lost 2 hats in teh house yesterday. GRRR. donavans main hat is missing and kevs toque and my hat are awol too. Im goign to see if i cant fin d a needle and thread to bind my completed rug today. Right now I am working ona rose wallhanging as a christmas gift. shouldnt take long to do. I have so many plans but NO WOOL. blah.
Kev and I are finally sharing a bed again LOL. mind you donavan is there too but at least kevs not on the couch. We have a tiny double bed. it super sucks. even when i was single I had a bigger bed.
Christmas parade is tomorrow night. Half of me is excited cause I love parades, the other half is horrified becuase the noise of it gives me panic attacks. explain that, eh.
Well, shit to do and all.

Is This My Child?
but she doesnt want to stay... I would be all about sending her except that she puked in her hair (on her braid). I rinsed her off last night but she needs it washed and so home she will stay.
Ive got a tired headache and somehow donavan got into kevs cologne. I am going to be the one puking, ugh LOL.
Kevs supposed to be off today but he has to go in to workfor a few hours to finish something He is off tomorrow as well.
tomorrow is a meeting of the BFI. Baby friendly inititive. Its awesome. I cant wait. Im going to see if angela will watch donavan though. Its a little early to expect kev to on his day off.
And I forgot. Im meeting with donna on our mysteriuos project beforehand. UGH. I shoiuld get somehting done on it today.
What is it, you ask again?
should I say tell you later again?
Basically I am helping her facilitate a program on the way that media presents women to children (girls) and how to spot the signs. et :)
Go feminism.

A Day Like Many Others...
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....
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.

We're going to sherry's for turkey dinner tomorrow. Kevs brother will be there with his kids. Kev and I ahve agree'd we need to prepare Samara for his neice Kassidy but how? its so complicated.
Well off to tidy.
