Today is Thursday - one more sleep and it's Friday!

It's been a terribly long week. I had promised myself I would not work overtime to catch up on everything at work here that I missed while I was off, but I worked 2 hours OT so far this week. I did get the month end done (sort of), which was a bonus. I was really doubtful it would ever happen - as I was truly overwhelmed with work when I got back. Just sat here this morning talking with one of the office staff and found out - this one certain backstabber in the office (who shall remain nameless) did his usual, talk about himself...and tell everyone that I don't work hard enough around here. I want to cut his b@ll$ off - what an a - hole. I should start counting how many smoke breaks he takes...and for how long he goes out for them. I think it would add up to 2 hours a day...when I take about 10. ***i am entitled to half an hour break a day! WTF?! GRRR...i hate office backstabbing, brown-nosers. Makes me seriously think about working for myself. I hope someday this can happen. I hope Dennis' business does really well and i can just work for him. He'd make a great boss. haha! Mom and Dad, I didn't tell you yet, but Dennis is 100% self employed now. He no longer works at that High Tech company in the city. He got a nice severance package to keep him going till his business gets off the ground! Pray for an abundance of work for him! :-)

I watched Premonition last night, that flick with Sandra Bullock. Great movie.
And...i did this layout to relax last night. I love it.

** Special thanks to Sandra L, for the chipboard (I used up the rest of it from that kit you got me and special thanks to Brenda G. for the stickers I used for the PICNIC title - i knew those would match this kit perfectly!**

What is wrong with kids these days?

Bullies leave disabled teen for dead in fire.

I read this article this morning and sat here with tears going down my cheeks. I have a cousin with spina bifida and he is one of the most cheerful kids I have ever met. What is wrong with kids these days? They have no respect or concern for human life other than themselves?

So i read in the article, the kids were let off with strong warnings from the police. What ever happened to making the parents accountable for their children's behaviour? This world is really '*'ed' up.

Man it's getting cold out...

Can't believe there was thick frost on my windshield this morning. I am not looking forward to winter. I friggin' hate this cold weather. I don't even have my fall boots yet!! It's my annual tradition, but i haven't had the chance to get them yet.

The kids and I hung out this weekend. We cleaned, grocery shopped, and watched movies. We ordered chinese take out on Saturday night...with enough food to last for two dinners! Jory and I snuggled on the couch and watched "While You Were Out" on Sunday morning. It's friggin freezing in my house...Jory's little feet were like icicles up against my legs. That little bugger kept rubbing them up against me just to make me laugh.

Same old...nothing majorly exciting. I love hanging out with my kids though. That was fun guys!

Been a while...

It's been a while since I posted, so thought I'd give a quick update. Ain't much to tell...it's been the same old routine that it has been since school started. I get up in the morning, take out the trash, sweep the kitchen floor, make a pot of coffee...go to work...sit at my desk for 8 hours staring at the monitor and punching in #'s, then i go home make supper, clean house, do laundry, make lunches, help kids with homework, make tea...crash on sofa around 8, fall asleep...get up and go to bed.

Fun eh? It's so friggin' exciting I can hardly stand it.
In a twisted sort of way though, my routine gives me comfort. At least I have my kids and a roof over my head and I have a job so I can feed them. Some things you simply can't help but be grateful for, even though there ain't much joy in the routine.

I'm having an off 'sleep' week. It goes in patterns. Some weeks i sleep really well, and other weeks, real crappy. Well this week is a crappy one. Can't fall asleep and even though I eventually do I can't seem to stay asleep. I wake up feeling like a zombie. GET ME SOME MORE SLEEP! I had a migraine yesterday from about noon until i went to bed. I still have a slight ache this morning, but it ain't nearly as bad. Maybe if I take some tylenol now it will curb the escalation. Who knows.

Lost is on tonight...season premiere! Been waiting all summer...the kids can hardly wait. Should be a good one.

I browse Post Secret every Sunday...this is the one that I liked.



I'll make sure I buy a couple of lottery tickets this week.
When you feel like you got no hope, it kills ya...
i'm sort of there...
no hope...
no life...
and who really gives a ***k. (Because everyone else has problems of their own...who has time to care about someone elses's?)

/i dunno

ACK!

I got a freakin' cold! This sucks. It's sucks to be me today.

Our phone is dead

Yeah...we had an electrical storm on Friday evening and this huge lightning bolt hit right near our house. (Scared the bejeebies out of us). So now we have this extraordinary amount of static on our phone line, making it non-functional. So i call Bell, and they can't come out till next Thursday (how freaking crazy is that??? I got no phone and they can't come until Thursday??). If you'll be trying to call us, you'll have to call on my cell #. Also...we don't have internet...

I got fed up with them. This happens every friggin' time we have a storm. SO......I called Rogers and amalgamated ALL my communication services with them. On the 20th, we will have new phone service, Rogers Cable Internet (i'll have a new email address) and bundled all our other services. Can you friggin' believe it...I'm gonna save myself $70.00 a month!!!

Why didn't I do this a long time ago??
Our phone # will be the same! Yay...I've only had it for like 18 years...It'd be weird having a new one. HA!
/over and out.....

All these Bills, what shall I do with them?

I'm so bloody serious. I have more bills than I care to have at the moment. Came home, MBNA on phone...two payments behind...a hefty lawyer's bill, ($600 f*n smackers), 1 payment behind on everything else.

God, can't I just win the lottery once?? ARGHH!
