Happy Mother's Day to all of my favorite Moms! We are heading up to Doug's parents for supper tonight, Doug and the kids got me a pink hoodie, ya know, I love my pink. The kids and I went up to see Mom yesterday, she was a little cranky. LOL She kept calling the her room mate a bitch and saying she wants to come back here. Well she will get to come back, we just have to wait for them to have room for her, could be next week, could be next year, who knows. We took her a plant, a shirt, housecoat and perfume. Breanna got 4 new Webkinz on the way and almost lost them, Mom thought they were for her and kept thanking her for them! Poor Breanna was trying to tell her that they weren't for her, she just brought them in to show her.
Work is going well, I got a new cell phone the other day, with all the bells and whistles, so I've spent lots of time trying to figure it out, adding features and playing with them, I love it. I'm sure in a few months they'll have something new out and I'll want that instead. LOL

Like most people, I hate Monday, there should just be some way of making it go away, can't we just go Sunday, Tuesday... sounds like a plan eh? Today was the normal kind of Monday, long and well, just long. And here I was basking in the thought that there's a long weekend coming up and bang, I'm told that no, we aren't closed on that Monday. Nice. So now I don't care that there's a long weekend, if I can't have it, neither should anyone else!
We all know that our computers forever need to be upgraded, we no sooner up grade one thing and it's time to upgrade something else. One thing we keep on top of here in our house with our computers is our system memory. It's always better to have too much memory on board, than not enough. We ran into some problems with Josh's computer when it was getting low on memory and just one short visit to Buy.com fixed that problem for us.
So the new job is going okay, I made it through the week without driving Chris to jump off the bridge or kill me, that's a good thing. Last night I went out with the girls for a bit but being tired, having this cold for 2 weeks and my back was killing me, so I didn't do any drinking and called Doug to come and get me at 12.
Today I got up, took the kids up to see Mom for an hour or so then we did some shopping. Came home for supper and then Doug and I took the kids fishing. No fish to be seen, well, there was this one, but man it was an ugly sucker and not a fish to eat, so he got tossed back in.
Tomorrows plans are to take the kids fishing again, drop in to see June and Wendy since I haven't seen them in 2 weeks, since I was sick last weekend, go to the drug store and get Doug a card for his birthday, which is on Wed. and start shopping for Mom's Mother's Day gift. That will be weird, after 6 years of not getting her anything. And I have a hell of a time picking out a card, ya know what I mean?

How things can change in just a week eh? I no longer work for Pharmasave, this wasn't a sudden decsion but it did happen quite quickly. I applied for another job on Tuesday, had an interview on Thursday, got hired on Friday, gave my notice and finished on Saturday. Now don't think that I didn't give notice, it was their choice that I was done on Saturday, I offered to stay as long as I was needed. So yesterday was quite a day, I worked with "my kids" and they were sneaking around all day, i knew something was up but I was still very shocked with what they did. At about 3pm they got me to go on cash and up they came with flowers and a teddy bear for me, yes, I cried. I love those kids and I'm going to miss them so much. But on with life and on with a new job. As of, well, some day this week, LOL, I'll be working for Aliant. It's in another store, seems like a great staff, no intimidation, no nights, no heavy lifting, I can't wait!

I don't mind this kind of Monday though, I have the day off! I got up and got Breanna off to school and then headed back to my bed for a nap and I actually had one for a change. Most times I'll lay there and think of all the things I need to do, then get back up, not today though. Not much on my list of things to do today, do some housework, make corn chowder for supper, finish the laundry, just the normal stuff. Had a great weekend, Friday night when I got off I came home and we got ready and went out to the bar.
There were lots of people out and about and there was quite a bunch of us that showed up from the old 545 Air Cadet Squad. There was only one important person missing, so of course, he got a phone call around mid-night, after many calls to 411 because the operator couldn't understand us at the bar. LOL Oh Jeff, we missed you babe but July is coming and Jack will be home again, we'll do it all over again when you get here.
Saturday I didn't do much, I was so tired, I didn't go to bed till 4:30 Sat. morning. And Sunday was back to work for the afternoon. I have to work again next Saturday because I took last Saturday off, but that's okay, it was worth it.

Are you looking to update your kitchen? It's spring, so it's time for some renovations! One of the things you'll want to buy is a new set of kitchen faucets. I've done some shopping around and just love this site, the faucets they have are all beautiful designs, it's hard to even decide on a set with so many to choose from. They offer many different styles, colors and prices, and with free shipping on all orders over $99.00, you just can't go wrong.
I love coupons, I'm always logging into my favorite coupon sites to see what they have listed that I use, who doesn't love to save money. One of our favorite past times is watching movies, we watch a lot of them. So I was quite happy to come across the Blockbuster coupons. Now you don't even have to leave the house to rent a movie, it's as simple as logging on and picking out what you want to see and they send it to you, when you are done, you put it back in the envelope, send it back and wait for your next movie to come, can it get any easier than that?
Yes, I'm still happy it's Friday, even though it's my weekend. Only because I'm not working all weekend. 3 friends are home because their Dad passed away last week and since it's been forever since they've all been home at one time, we're going out tonight. We all went to Air Cadets so I'm sure it's going to be like a little 545 RCAC reunion, minus one very important person, Jeff. I've tried, so hard, to get him to come home but he can't. Between DL, Josh and myself, we've been bugging him all week. Poor Jeff, I know he wants to come home so he's probably ready to kill me. So I'll work till 9 tonight and thanks to Blair, I don't have to go back till Sunday, love you Blair!!!
I'm typing away on Josh's computer. Last night Breanna and I went for a walk after supper and came home to find out that my moniter blew up while I was out. So I have to wait for Doug to get off work tonight and he'll go get it replaced, the good thing is that it was still under warranty, so it will be free. Free is good.
This morning is grey and rainy but it sounds like it is supposed to clear up before this afternoon and we're in for a nice weekend. Josh has his first paintball game of the year tomorrow and he's very excited about that. It's the first time he gets to use his own gun and he can't wait to see how it works in a game.
Well since I have laundry in the wash and some in the dryer, I better go get at it so I can get it all done before work. Why can't I just win the lottery?? Grrrs

Well, seeing as it's Monday, I'm not too sure what's so good about it, but the sun is out and it's supposed to warm up this week. So I guess that's a good thing. I got up earlier this morning that I usually do, I'm trying to get up earlier and start walking before work, either outside or down on the treadmill, but we'll see how that plan goes, I'm so not a morning person, I like to sleep in.

Are you getting "mature"? Man, I hate that word, just tell me I'm getting old! Anyway, if you are having some trouble reading fine print or just reading the news paper, I have just the site for you to pick up a great magnifying glass. No more squinting to try and read that recipe or the instructions to something you are trying to put together, just use your new magnifying glass and it's all good!
Spring is here and with it comes the want to get back in shape, lose those pounds that you put on over the winter. One of the ways that you can get back in shape is to pick up one of the great treadmills that they have at ProForm. I have a treadmill and love it, I'm the first to admit, I won't go for a walk if it's raining out, or if the flies are too bad, or if it's too hot, but having a treadmill in my basement means that I never have an excuse to not go!
Having a teen age boy in the house leaves Mom always looking for new products that treat acne. I've come across a natural acne treatment that looks promising and I think we might give it a try. Along with helping heal breakouts, it also helps prevent them in the first place, bonus for any teenager. The way I look at it, teens these days have enough things to worry about without having to worry about how bad their complexion is from acne. So if you too, have a teen in your house that is having this battle, give it a try, or if you yourself have acne, it might be the right answer for you!
Can we have a re-do? Please? I don't want it to be Sunday night, I want it to be Friday night, where's the re-wind button? It was a long week last week of watching Josh to see if we would have to go back to the city with him, the headache lasted most of the week but is better now, so I guess it wasn't the shunt, thank God. That's the worst of shunts, the not knowing until it shows up on a CAT scan or MRI. The last time his shunt broke he didn't have the normal symptoms of a broken shunt, the ones that had been drilled into my head since I had him. So we just go if there's a chance and be happy if it was a wasted trip. Didn't do much on the weekend, had plans to do lots of cleaning but I kinda got lazy and didn't get as much done as I would have liked. It didn't help that yesterday it was all rainy and crap so we didn't feel like doing anything except lay around with a book and watch TV. Next weekend I work so I had to get my being lazy in this weekend. The home that Mom is in this morning called last night so she could talk to me since I didn't go up and then they called this morning to tell me she wanted me to bring her a pack of smokes, ummm, NO? I'm pissed off enough that she started again after all of this time, I'm not going to go running up every time she wants some. So she can wait till Thurs., I'm sure they'll get them for her, they got them for her last week but got the wrong kind, LMAO, oh well!

Josh has had a headache for a few days so after a trip to the Dr and a call to the city, we were on our way to the IWK. It was clinic day so we didn't have to go sit in the ER, thank God. By supper time we had seen the neurosurgeon and he had a MRI and shunt series x-rays. The Dr was worried because when he pushed in on the bulb on the back of his head, it didn't fill up as fast as it should. But when the tests came back they looked okay, so now we just wait and see if he gets better or worse. The Dr said he has made mistakes before when it came to shunts, LOL. Josh still had a headache this morning but he said it wasn't as bad, so I hope it gets better. He hasn't had his shunt done for almost 5 years so it wouldn't have been a shock if it had to be replaced but with what we went through last time, when he bled out on the OR table and was in there for 7 hours, I'm not looking forward to having it done again. So now I'm off to work and hope I get to stay there for the day!

Do you have trip in the planning stages like we do? Do you need a new set of luggage before you can go on that trip? I've been looking around at sets ever since we made plans to go away next year and one of the sets I love is the Swiss Army set. You can't find a better quality set and the price is just right. So if you need a new luggage set, hop on over to the website and see what you can find.
Now this is a great topic for me today, I was actually looking for bedroom furniture today when I was out. Breanna is in desperate need of a new dresser. So of course I don't buy right away, I have to come home and see what I can find on-line for a good price and this is one of the websites that I came across! I have found some great sets that I'd love to have for my bedroom, it's soo hard to choose when they have such a great selection of deals!
The weekend finally made it to us. Now it's flying by so fast, will be Monday before we know it. I think it's time for a vacation. Yesterday at work was very hard, one of my co-workers and friend, was let go, it's just not going to be the same without her there.
I was home on Thursday with a temp. of 102 and this damn pain in my back, off to the side, it's not the same as the pain I usually have in my back. Besides that, I didn't feel sick, weird I know. But I was back at it yesterday, with 2 days worth of work to do.
Today Breanna and I went to New Germany to see Mom, she's doing great, loves it and is not as needy as she used to be, which makes our lives much easier. We took her some treats and stayed a couple of hours, then we went back in to Bridgewater to find a birthday gift for Carolyn, across the street.
Came home and had some supper and then took the gift over. After that we came back and tackled Breanna's room, OMG what a job that is. I've put it off for weeks but now it's done, and my back knows it!
Tomorrow Breanna is supposed to cheer up in Milton for the Special Olympics, she's got a cold so we'll see how she is tomorrow, not sure if she'll make it or not.
Then Monday I'm working 1-9, I asked Michelle to switch nights with me, I was supposed to work Wed. night but there's a meeting for parents of kids going into LRHS, akkkk, Josh is going to High School!! Hold me!!!
