bloggy gloggy
Here I am.
Ack. have I complained about this cold yet. I cant get rid of it. Keeps getting worse and worse. This morning I am coughing up chunky shit that makes me want to vomit. Literaly. I was gagging at the toilet for a good little while first thing.
Did awesome on wiifit last night. worked out for 30 minutes straight (YAY). I warm up with the balance games then do a run (usually short distance) then cool down with a couple games and end with a yoga pose. Well last night in the spirit of somehting new I went for an island lap run. HOLY 14 minute jog batman.
I felt great afterward. I wonder how actually jogging and getting somewhere would be. LOL.
Talking about batman, donavan disclosed to me this morning that he is actually clark kent. and yes he is superman... and batman.... and robin too. Way to be in a few places at once...
(In truth he says yes to everything! nothing funnier than asking him in front of his nanny (betty) if his daddy beats him adn calls him bad names. Donavan gives a sad face and says, very quietly, "yessss". Sometimes youll be a yup... But if you ask him if he pooped hell generally deny it and give the cat a hard look. Funny dude.
Ive implemented a new system to TRY and get samara to get along with donavan. I call it the NO SLEEPOVERS. If shes mean to him or trys to exclude or abuse him I tell her that her next sleepover (at nanny's or sherry's) is going to be cancelled. She generally makes up a game for him then.
I had a dream last night that work underpaid kev by 100$ and didnt pay me at all. What a time to have a dream like that! (then it all turned to sex). Sheesh...

TODAAAAAAYYYY
Well Ive been creating lately and feeling awesome about it. (Plus alot of reading).
Tuesday I bought the next book in my Southern Vampire Series. I re-read the first one again (Dead Until Dawn) and then followed directly by teh next one. (Call me Henri, I have finished number 2!!!!) I am dying until I can get the next ones... Seriously, if jackass miraclulasly pays me afterall I am buying them. (Because I deserve it, right???)
Few days ago I crochet'd a baby girl beret. It is so fricking CUTE. I cant wait to start one for Samara. I also made (am making) a pair of handwarmers. First time ive ever followed a knitting pattern. I was touch and go with purling so it was start and stop to begin with... But I managed to actually finish one then start on the second (ME! who never finishes anytrhign!!!!) The second is actually almost done.
Samara had a cute funny moment today. She and I watched Dante's Peak. All through the movie she kept saying that she thought so and so would die. and so and so and so on... then when the movie ended adn everyone was okay (cept the nanny...) she said, "I knew it would be a happy ending..." Umm no kid... you thought they were all going to die slow deaths. She was saying how volcanos are only make believe and happened a LONG LONG time ago... I figured it was a good time to teach her a little about earth so I told her there were volcanos in other places... She asked me where... I couldnt think of anywhere right then so I said I didnt know... and she promptly informed me, "thats because they happened a LONG LONG time ago..." Well duh. She is so funny to watch movies with.
We watched Gran Turismo the other day. It was an awesome movie. WATCH IT!!!! (lol) Troy is coming over tonight adn I guess theyre watching it again. LOL. I am waiting to watch pride and glory (or whatever)

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.

Got 20 Minutes, Might As Well Blog
Donavan is freaking out in teh kitchen. He was up before 7 this morning. Little brat.
Speaking of Brats, Samara has not stopped. She has decided suddenly that she is the boss and we are all just mean. Back talking and being disrespectful constantly. She went to bed last night at 6pm and got up in the same mood. I found somethign that worked this morning. I told her if she said 1 more rude, disrespetcful thing or talked back I was taking her "lady" away. Lady is her favourite stuffed toy. She stopped and didnt say another rude thing all morning (after teh mrning from hell literally.) I told her she had to go clean her room after school and if she didnt then I was taking Lady for that. And if she kept going it would be crawling doll the next day then rudolph and so on and she would earn tehm back on days she wasnt rude.
Ill let you know how it goes after school.

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?)

Wow
Samara's room visibly done. (all thats left is teh hell that is under her bed!!!). Her toys and Donavan's are all in there neatly. And the boxes labeled usuing our new printer :)
All the ornaments off the tree (cept the star cause it is too high haha). The living room looks like a livingroom again. All of the bags of paper and boxes are gone. (Well if i get the chance theyre in the porch waiting to be taken out.) I think kevin thinks I leave the bags out there on purpose to annoy him but really it is just too hard on everyone for me to try to sneak them outside. Especially since Donavan wont take a nap. (Beucase he is evil. too true).
Got some good information off teh net last night on creating meal plans. I cant wait to have money to get groceries and officially start. 2009 will be our year to get healthy.
Put my turkey in this morning. I wanted to put it in last night before bed (around midnight) at 250 then turn it up this mornign to finish but kev insisted that it would dry it out cooking that long blah blah blah (Becuase he has cooked a million turkeys in his days, right?) and so in the oven it went at 400 this morning. And if we all die of food poisoning I hope his case is worst and he really suffers then it WILL be "I told you so."
Got our xmas gifts from Laura last night. She got me socks and a shirt, donavan a musical cookie jar thing, Samara a movie, playdoh and a game to hook to the tv and kev a screwdriver thing. I wasnt expecting anything from them (as I am not acknowleging her as family anymore... But i guess it was a nice gesture, I am too bitter to think otherwise... Like WOW a shirt and socks! Should we take that off teh $2000 she owes me?!?!? See, bitter. Not so xmas-y, right?)
Kev got me the last 2 twighlight books for xmas. Right before I gave in and bought them figureing that they couldnt be too bad. LOVED them. Loved the first, liked the second, loved the 3rd, okay on teh 4th. I wish they didnt end and am hoping the author writes mroe, maybe on others' stories? Donno. Now to get charlene harris's whole series. MWAHAHA.
Now to go gag my shotty daughter before I am tempted to beat* her for insolence. GRRRRAWWWWWWWR.
*no I dont beat my children... just torment them... lots of torment...

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.
Monday, December 1, 2008
...
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.

At The Endddddd
I finished rug number 2. Number 1 was a red bird to see if I had the attention span to finish one. I did. Number 2 is for my parents for xmas to go on the wall. It was a rose using wool and wooly yarn. It turned out awesome. Today I am going to draw up number 3. My Ode to Kelly. LOL. I think as soona s i pull apart my new black coat and the brown I will probably borrow Donna's machine to cut it all. I have 4 pairs of scizzors and in that only 1 pair is usable becuase teh others are SO DULL from cutting wool.
Bought an Art Attack with Neil Buchannon book yesterday SCORE. I cant wait to get some paint and try some crafts out with Samara. Shes been copying a few 1 dimentionally the last 2 days. Creative bugger.
Bought 2 new bras from Additionelle friday. size G38! My actual measured size is H36 but they didnt ahve it so they improvised. I want to post NICE BOOBIE/ bra pictures but would that cross a line? HAHA who knows. Im so proud of the girls right now. HAHA.
Well I should go put pants on. Henri and her kiddies are coming to walk to mcdonalds with us. I realized i have a pack of those coupons abd they expire today!

Samara To Donavan
"Youre such a baby. No baby toys allowed, baby."

Ode To All Of The Things I Have Lost
One thing is a crochet magazine from teh 60s that kevs mom gave me. I want to crochet something (and if it goes well I want to crochet a few things) but without that book and so no pattern it will be hard.
On another note.
I am finding myself way to stressed and short with Samara lately. I am going to try to slow down and be a better parent to her. I think maybe she is acting out because she isnt feeling like shes getting enough attention lately? I doint know?

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.
