It's been 7 long years and this song says the way we still all feel...
We miss you.

Over for another year

2008-07-07T10:49:41Z

So Privateer Days has come and gone for another year, after a couple of hours of standing at the rides last night, I'm glad it's over. I took the kids over around 8, Breanna found her best friend and they did some rides, Josh went to hang out with his friends till the fireworks were over. The fireworks were great, they did quite a show this year. The whole time of the fireworks we were standing in line to get donuts, LOL, but could see the show perfect. The donuts were well worth it! Back to the grind today, a very busy day ahead of me, it's magazine day and Chris is still on vacation, not real sure how that's going to work out but we'll see, long as I don't have a day like Friday where every person that came in was pissed off about something and I took the brunt of it, ahhh, such is life working with the public. LOL

Custom Pens

2008-07-05T21:07:02Z

Anyone who knows me, knows that I have a bit of a pen addiction. At work I have quite a supply of pens that I have taken in from home, different styles and colors, I just love pens. I've found a great place on the web that I can order custom pens. Any style or color ink that you want, you'll find a great deal right here. If you have your own business, now is a great time to pick up some pens to give out to your customers, there's no reminder of your business like a pen, they get used every day, get passed around, in turn, giving you more business!

It's Privateer Days

2008-07-05T21:03:01Z

This weekend is Privateer Days here in Liverpool, the rides, the booths, the parade, everyone looks forward to it every year. The parade was this morning, I was working but did get to watch it outside the store, Doug took pictures from where he and Josh watched it, we'll see if any of Breanna came out okay. When I got off work we went over to the rides, where Breanna had to take a few turns on every ride that would make me puke. LOL I stood as long as I could and then started the fight to get her home, she doesn't quite understand that my back was killing me.

I came home, felt like a dirt bag from standing around over there, got in the shower, took some pills for my back and now I'm just planning to kick back and relax and do nothing, well, maybe there's a good movie on tonight. Tomorrow is my only day off this week, I have to run to Bridgewater to pick up a birthday gift, get a few things at Wal-Mart for Josh for camp, and maybe, just maybe, if I can convince my husband that 30 minutes won't kill him, go see my mother. So that's my very boring Privateer Days, first year I've missed Friday night at the bar and I hope the last, but after the day I had yesterday and being up early today and on my feet all day, I just don't have it in me to head to town tonight. Next weekend we'll be going out for Denise and Robby's wedding reception and the week after that, Jeff will be home, so I'm sure we'll get a night out while he's home.

Happy Canada Day

2008-07-01T17:23:17Z

Happy Canada Day! Not much going on today, I got to sleep in after staying up late to finish my laundry and some house work so I wouldn't have to do it today. Went out to lay in the sun for awhile at lunch time, came in and did the floors, went back out to watch Doug sweating his ass off washing the truck, boy she looks some good now!  Till it rains, LOL. Speaking of vehicles, congrats to my Jeffy on the birth of his new baby, a new Ford Fussion, I haven't seen pictures yet, but I'm sure she's a beauty. Of course, in a couple of weeks I'll get to see it in person, when Warrant Officer Jeff comes home, I'm so proud of my Jeff, he's done well for himself, not quite the little guy that I used to beat the crap out of every chance I got.

Breanna is driving me nuts with being bored, umm, how many days till school goes back? LOL The pool is quite cold after a few days of rain, so it's got the solar cover on it soaking up some sun, plus with her ear infection she needs to stay out of it for a couple of days anyway. So she's just going to hang off me till I got back to work tomorrow I guess. Thursday she'll go to Tina's for the day to get ready for all the stuff the Cheerleaders are doing over Privateer Days, I drop her off before I go to work and pick her up when I get off, should be a good day for all of the girls.

Josh will soon start to get ready for camp, he goes in 2 weeks, this is his 3rd year and he's really looking forward to it, this year they go out to sleep in the woods for a couple of nights with their instructor, learning some new things and using some of the things he's learned in his first 2 years.

Well hubby is out in the kitchen making supper, deep fried fish and chips, so I should maybe go give him a hand? Nawww, think I'll go curl up with my book, much better idea, right?

July 1st Eve

2008-07-01T01:00:55Z

Which means tomorrow is a Holiday, day off, yay! After the day I had today, I need a day off, it was busy, with me having 100 other things that needed to get done, along with looking after the customers, needless to say, it didn't all get done, so it will have to wait until Wed. I was ready to just walk out today, fed up, pissed off, you know...

I had to take Breanna up to outpatients tonight, she's had a sore ear since Friday, we've got drops now so she should be getting better by tomorrow. Better would be a good thing, she's cranky as can be, even more than normal. LOL

No big plans for tomorrow, some sleepin in, my back has been very bad the last few days and I'm not sleeping at all, just doze off for an hour or so and wake up, it's hellish. Our town doesn't do July 1st celebrations anymore, it will all take place on the weekend for Privateer Days, fireworks aren't till Sunday night, which is pretty stupid in my opinion, people have to work on Monday, was much better when they were on Friday night. I have to work Saturday but hope to get out of the building long enough to watch the parade, since Breanna is in it. And Sunday we have a car wash and bottle drive for the cheerleading group. They are having the rides for the kids again this year, last year was just a big waste of money, just a few rides, most older than we are, I don't hold out much hope for it being better this year, which sucks, Privateer Days used to be a big for the kids, now, not so much.

Wilmington real estate

2008-06-29T17:06:01Z

Are you looking for a great investment or maybe a new house for you and your family? If you are looking at buying Wilmington real estate this is the place to start, and to finish, your search. Just looking at the main page, you can see dozens of houses that are to die for, just that first kitchen is enough to make my mouth water! And the bathroom of the featured property? Well that's bigger than my bedroom alone! I've always said, my next house will have a huge kitchen and bathroom, those are my main reasons to buy a house!

It was a busy week

2008-06-29T02:36:53Z

I'm very happy to say both kids passed with flying colors. Josh left Jr High with honors, the Principal's Award, and a few other awards. Miss Breanna passed with all A's and B's, not a Cin sight, Yay! Some of my Pharmasave Kids also Graduated this week and all did very well for themselves, I'm so proud of them!

Last night we went out to celebrate Denise's up-coming wedding, a few girls met at Meikka's for drinks then we went to the bar, had a great time, I love girls night, we need to do it more often, now if it just didn't take me days to recover...LOL

The weather for the next few days is rain, so tomorrow I have nothing planned except sleep and housework, in that order. The floors need to be washed, a job I can say I hate, have no reason why, I just hate it.

Monday it's back to work, with Tuesday off and then work till Saturday.  Chris is going on vacation for a week on Friday, I may just lose my mind in that week, I'm very worried about the fact that he looks after so many things that I haven't been trained to do, so I guess I'll be telling lots of people to come back in a week!

Anyway, it's late, the kids are asleep, I guess I should head to bed ;)

Soaking up the sun

2008-06-22T18:36:24Z

Or I should say, I was soaking up the sun, right now it seems to have gone away, with rain in the future I think. I should have known it was going to rain, we have to go to the city, it always rain when we go to the city, so much easier when you have a truck and can't put things on back of it. LOL NOT! So yea, Josh has an appointment at the IWK tomorrow to see if they can do his surgery this summer, the only thing that could go wrong is that the Dr might decide that he has too much scar tissue, due to all of his operations on and around his belly. It will suck if that happens, he's looking forward to getting it done, life will be much easier for him.

Yesterday was my second day alone at work and it couldn't have gone much worse than it did.  I messed the computer up to start with, never did get that fixed, so that was a bad start to my day, then it was dead, I thought I'd go nuts, right from that to having   7 people standing in line waiting to buy new phones, only one left, which wasn't too bad considering.

We bought a new bed Friday night, well we got the box spring and mattress, the frame will be here in a week or so, Doug decided we needed to get the mattress just to see if it would help my back and as of this morning, it didn't, I guess there's just no help for it. I hope to get rid of our old one today and have had a couple of calls, if the first person doesn't soon contact me, I'll call the second one back to see if they want to come and get it.

Yesterday Breanna and I went over to DL's for Miss Megan's 9th birthday party, 4 girls, 3 teenagers, 2 dogs and DL and I, we didn't even get drunk but it might have been an idea. It was nice, the first time in, forever, that her and I have sat down for a couple of hours and talked, I miss that so much, it was just like old times, except a lot more noise involved. LOL

Well I guess I should get away from the computer and go start supper, beer can chicken is on the BBQ, new potatoes, carrots and pasta, so much for the 5lbs that the Wii Fit just told me I lost. LOL

1 down 1 to go!

2008-06-19T23:27:24Z

Josh's last day of school was today, where he wrote his last exam, which he says, was easy, I hope. LOL So he's done until next Thursday at noon, when they have their graduation. Breanna has school tomorrow but they are having a fun day and then on Monday they do their last day, which includes a show by the Liverpool Priva-Cheer Club, which Breanna is in. She wanted to go to the city with us on Monday, we have to take Josh in for his consult about having a cecostomy, but since she has to be in the show, she'll have to go to school. No big deal, we are coming home soon after we get out of the hospital, it's prom night at the High School and I want to go see my girlies all dressed up, I can't wait to see all of my Pharmasave Kids. I miss them so much, we do get to see each other at times but not enough to have time to chat. So I'll go armed with my camera and get lots of pics of them. Breanna can't wait to go with me and see all of the pretty dresses.

Not much new going on, again, I'm lacking in being a daughter and sister to June and Wendy, I just can't get over as much as I want to, I hope to get there on Sat. or Sunday. I haven't been sleeping more than 2 hours at a time because of my back, so when I get off work I just want to come home and fall into my chair with my heating pad. This is my weekend to work so that makes it 6 days in a row, I'm not loving that part of my job. We now close at 2 but it still makes it hard, especially with the kids out of school for summer and I'm never at home. Anyway, if some changes have to be made with my schedule, we'll worry about it then.

For now? I'm off to a warm bath in my Aveno, I got a sunburn last weekend and now have a wonderful rash from my sun allergy. Grrrr

Can Someone Please Explain...

2008-06-13T23:07:37Z

How does this happen so fast?

TGIF!

2008-06-13T10:51:08Z

I'm so glad it's Friday, I need 2 days off. I've been in bed every night this week before 10:30 and am still dragging ass when I get up at 6:40, sleeping in tomorrow is going to be heaven!

Not much in the way of weekend plans, tomorrow I'll go to Bridgewater and go see Mom, we are invited up to Meikka's after supper for drinks and some games but that will depend on how much energy I have, if it's like the last few days, I'll be in my jammies and in my lazy boy.

Other than that, there's lots of housework that has to be done, I'd like to get out in the sun for a couple of hours, nag Josh about exams, LOL. Tonight is his prom but he doesn't want me to come to the school so there'll be no pictures from the school, I told him that was fine, I'd wait and go to the Sr. prom, where the kids want me there. heheheh

Today at work will probably go by quite quickly if it's anything like the last couple of days, so busy we don't have time to think, not that busy is a bad thing, busy means we're making money, which makes the boss very happy! LOL Anyway, happy Friday everyone!

Liverpool Priva-Cheer Closing

2008-06-13T10:30:05Z

Miss Breanna, Most Sportsman

2 more days...

2008-06-12T11:01:31Z

I think I can, I think I can...LOL Can you tell I need it to be the weekend? Working 6 days last week and only having one off has knocked the crap out of me. So many things that need to be done. I had a call from the home last night, Mom's been having a teary week, well that's probably because I had to work last weekend and poor Aunt Barb has been sick as a dog for almost a week, so she didn't get up this week either.  I told Tanya to tell her I'd be there Saturday so chill. I need a clone I think. Right now it would be great if they called and said they had a bed for her here in Liverpool, so much easier. Then we could run up for a few minutes a couple of times a week, much better than trying to find 4 hours or so to go. So yesterday at work went okay, I told the boss that I would not, ever, put up with that shit again and they can leave it for me to work out, but if it happens again, I will go ape shit on the punk's ass. LOL Such tough talk from an old woman eh?

I'm going to try to get out of work at about 4:15 today, it's the closing for the Liverpool Priva-Cheer club, Breanna thinks I can't come, so she'll be happy to see me there. We decided last night that she's going to do 2 weeks of swimming lessons this summer, she can swim like a fish, but she taught herself, she'd never go to lessons. This year she wants to go, so we'll do our best to get her there. One of the weeks that she's going to go Doug will be on vacation, so that will be easy, the next week will be a little harder but I hope that Sally will help us out. There's also an art camp for a week that she'd love, it's in Brooklyn and would get her out of the house and give Josh a break for a week, it's every afternoon till 4:30, he should actually have had surgery by then I hope, so he won't have anything better to do. LOL

Well I should send her out to the bus, looks like it's going to be a hot one! Have a great day people!  DL, see you later when you visit! :)

Good Hump Day Morning

2008-06-11T11:10:27Z

I don't have to be at work till 9 now that I know what I'm doing in the morning. LOL So that gives me a few extra minutes, I've got the laundry done, supper started, the dishes are done and Breanna is out waiting for the bus, this is how mornings should be! I love having everything done so I don't have to do it when I get home from work. Speaking of work, yesterday was quite a day. One of the teenagers at work has a hate on for me, he's rude and just a total ass. I gotta tell you, I don't take that shit from someone my age, let alone a kid. If I found out one of my kids spoke to someone the way this kid does, well let's just say they wouldn't be leaving the house, for a long, long time. So yesterday this kid was more than rude, I was pissed, my blood pressure went through the roof and I told Chris that chances were, I wouldn't be sticking around for that shit. So either someone does something about it, or I'll be looking for another job.

The end of another weekend

2008-06-08T23:16:36Z

It was a pretty nice weekend, today started out quite cool, with the fog hanging off the coast a little too close.  I wanted to get to Bridgewater today to pick up a few things but with the housework needing to be done, Josh needing to study and clean his room, I didn't get anywhere, maybe one night this week when I get off work. I didn't get up to see Mom since I had to work yesterday and haven't heard anything for a few days, so I hope she's behaving herself for a change. The latest struggle is her wanting to go out for drives with her "friend" Vernon, I don't like him, he creeps me out.  Mom doesn't know right from wrong, he lets her smoke more when he takes her out and I'm scared to death that he'll let her drink, that's one mess we don't want to deal with. After talking to the administrator of the home, a real sweetheart who is wicked good at her job and with dealing with Mom, we decided to put an end to their outings. Tanya agrees that it's not a good idea, things can happen, and we don't need to deal with that right now.

A good thing about the weekend was that I did my first day alone and think I did quite well, the morning went by very fast, the afternoon drug by, but I did sell 5 phones, go me! LOL DL came over to visit and of course, that was a busy time, so we didn't get much chance to chat.

So after 1 day off, tomorrow it's back at it. Tuesday I have to go have my B12 shot and get some blood work papers, one for me and one for Breanna. I can't understand why she can't lose weight and I'm starting to think there maybe more to it than her not eating right. The kid is on the go all the time, on the trampoline, at Cheer, you name it, so she should be able to lose some, she can't get a pound off. She's getting discouraged so we'll get her blood work done just incase.

Anyway, time for a bath and watch some TV.

Women's Ass Study

2008-06-03T21:06:37Z

Women's Ass Size Study

There is a new study just released by the American Psychiatric
Association about women and how they feel about their asses.
The results are pretty shocking:

1. Only 5% of women surveyed feel their ass is too big.

2. 10% of women surveyed feel their ass is too small.

3. The remaining 85% say they don't care; they love him; he's a good man and they would have
married him anyway.

Well it's about time!

2008-06-01T18:13:39Z

It's June 1st and I'm happy to say, it's a nice spring/summer day out there! I just came in from an hour of laying in the sun, so by tonight I'll be covered with a nice rash, that will last a few days and drive me nuts (not a far drive) but then I will be able to go out in the sun the rest of the summer and not react to it, weird.

've had a headache since Friday morning at 5am, I hope it soon decides it's time to move on. Went to see Mom yesterday, much better than last week, no screaming matches, thank God.

Today I took Josh to town for play practice, he's doing lights and sounds for it, went to Pharmasave to visit and shop, went and got a new pair of jeans for $17.00 woot! Then finally made my way to June's to visit with her and Wendy for awhile. The rest of the day will include some housework, finding something for supper and getting ready to work the next 6 days, yes, it's time for me to start working Sat. Sucks. I've loved having the weekends off, and once I start working on Sat. I don't have a day off through the week, so everything has to be done on Sunday.
