Stressing

See????????   I am here again!!!!!!!! 2 days in a row!!!!!!!!!!
I need an outlet.  I am soooooooo stressed out because of my job..  I have a love/hate relationship with it and I am not sure which way is going to rule!!!
I also heard today that corporation........."the man" believes that anyone in upper management should have great fear over losing his (not a mans world anymore kids!).............OR   HER!>............... job...  Imagine people using the fear of unemployment to "motivate" another to be successfull??....................I'm sorry..WHAT?????
Let's just say that went in one ear and out the other. 
The love part of my jobs??........Great perks!!!!!Awesome travel!!!!!!!prestige!!!!!!!!!Money!!!!!!!!!!Culture!
The hate part????  Expectation of being able to move mountains on a time budget!!!!!!!!Unrealistic goals I put onto others!!!!!oh and did I mention I see others in my position going on stress leave by the TON!!!!

LALALA

I have too much time on my hands!!
I have entered my baby in the Regis and Kelly beautiful baby contest.....  Yep...I have been watching Regis.........every morning....just to see if my baby is on it..haha
I am looking forward to going back to work in a strange way.  It won't be that bad, I work 5 minutes from my house and it won't be hard to get back into a routine again.........I hope........
 
I will be around talking and thinking adults again,  People that will answer a question with more than just ..
yayayayayayaya babababaqbababa mamamamam pssttttttt
Yeah!
 
I am really loving the nice weather that we have been having lately It's too sweet.  I wish Winter would end and spring would begin already.
 
Changing the subject....
YEY!!!  Liberal minority government is gone for now... and if Our Conservative leader doesnt get carried away and become a dufus like Doulton(heehee) did than the liberals won't be back any time soon.........  I just hope I see some sort of difference and that Mr. Harper proves every one wrong....that he is not the first cloned W. with bad hair.
 
Well by for now
January 14

Phew! It's been a while!

And 2006 begins!!!!  Any New Years resolutions???????  I have the typical cliche'
1.Look like Katie Hudson for summer....ha ha ha ha ha ha H H a HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAA!
2. Buy a Mercedes-Benz 500 suv  HEE HEE HEE HEE HEE HEE HEE HEE!!!
 
Geeze, I mine as well be as unrealistic as possible if I am going to kid myself eh?  Why do we even bother with resolutions when many of us don't follow through with it?  Oh who knows funnier things have happened!
 
  So I hope all of you had a great holiday and are getting back to the "norm"'s of life.  I know that I will be getting back to the norms, as I go back to work in 44 days.........Boo hoo!  I really enjoyed my year off and I am going to miss just hanging around and doing those "house" things.
I never was very good at the house wife life but I am going to miss it anyway. 
I got my first french manicure since I had my baby and I have a facial scheduled for next week..yay!  I guess I am looking forward to returning to the work force but I know that it will be challenging because now I will have a whole new routine to get use to...........C'est La Vie
 
 
On a totally different topic.........
8 days left until voting day!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
HELLO PEOPLE!!!!  Please vote!  I really don't care who you vote for(actually it does concern me greatly but I really don't feel like a political rant right this moment!) just get your butts out there to the polls and make your voice heard!!!!!!!!!
 
January 23rd!  see you there!

And the angel said unto them, "Fear not! For, behold, I bring you tidings of great joy, Which shall be to all people. "For unto you is born this day in the city of David A Saviour, which is Christ the Lord. And this shall be a sign unto you: Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, Lying in a manger.

Santa is gearing up!!

Can you believe that it is almost time for Santa to come to our home????????????  I am in such shock...It has just creeped up and is surely going to bite me in the ass.  I am typically a Christmas eve shopper...............<head down in shame>....So is my husband.......Oh well,  tis the game...
 
We are driving up north for x-mas this year and not looking forward to the drive.....poo....poo....poo  Here is hoping for dry weather..........I am looking forward to the family though...They haven't seen baby since the summer and she is just too cute and brutish......My little mini me...
 
Well my daughter is calling for help with her snow man... eeww I guess that means that I am going to have to go outside.........
 
Hey.....I actually did a first yesterday.......................
 I shoveled my drive way for the first time in my entire life.....WOW!!!...  I only really did it for the supposed cardio workout.........I think that my husband just said it was a cardio workout so I would do it........oh Well.....I did it......my first and only shovelling experience...(except for the other kind of shovelling heeheehee......that kind of shovelling I likey)
 
P.S.    Don't forget to tune into the great christmas comedy tonite on every canadian station at 8:00 Eastern........
 
It will be filled with lies, deceit, corruption, bribery and some good ole wholesome bull-sh@t..........
 
 Starring..Paul Martin..as the king of Idiots
               Steven Harper..as the bad bishop
                 Jack Layton....as the Joker

On the 1st day of christmas....

Today was baby's 9 month appointment............YEAH!!!  She is too cute.  She is already doing the standing, cruising, bruising.....  (and ..boy do I mean bruising.................her new nick name is bruiser!!!) oh yeah and eating....everything...she can get her hands on.......  She got the clean bill of health and won't have to go back until her year appointment...........
NNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!That just means that I will be at work........................  I knew that this year would come to an end sooner rather than later........but I just don't get why the day's seem to be flying by so darn fast.................hhmmpp! 
 
As for christmas..I am starting to get excited about the whole thing.......yey!!  The only thing that really bites is the lack of biting I have been able to do...........................There is just too many calories in EVERYTHING....... I think that I should just quit food all together...................And I really need to add that I am really also starting to HATE any and all types of CARDIO workouts....................................hhhmmmppp!
 
Oh!!!!  Last rant....................................(for today anyway)..
.............My husband is a BOOB.............His head is now for sure........................A great big bald boob!.......  He was volunteered by his boss to get his head shaved (with the boss) if they raised enough money for a charity in the area.........
...................They raised enough money............................And now my husband is bald.........llike a babies butt......................it is a little strange to wake up in the middle of the night and see an eerie glow from his side of the bed........hhhmmm talk about new and different.....heeheehee

Baa

 Well, I finally gave into the fa la la la la la la la laing....
and put up the christmas deco's.  Not all of them, we dragged one of our storage tubs out (we have 3 plus all of the tree stuff).....................But we still aren't going to put up a tree this year..........I figure that since we are going away it just makes no sense to me to put in all that work just for a tree that we aren't going to put stuff under........I hate wasting my time..............It seems pointless................................................................
We put lights on our palm tree in our house.............a tree is a tree is a tree........It's a Charlie Brown christmas!
 
I did bake some cookies and stuff yesterday.................that was fun......mind you it would have been a whole lotta mora funna if I could of ate any..................................................... 
What a time to cut out the white...............................Oh well...............I have just been smelling my husbands breath when he eats something good..................If I close my eyes really tight it's like I am eating it.....HEH!
 
I also cut my daughter's hair.......................(in a previous life I was a hairsylist)............She is 6 and it touched the top of her pants..........It was nice ..but a royal pain in the ass trying to get out the damn nasty knots.........................................
 
She hates it and me right now...................I think that it is tooo cute..it is at her shoulders and flippy.....Oh well  C'est la vie!
 
Now if my other daughter could just grow some hair we would be set!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
November 29

Wow!!! Long time no writy

Olah!!!!  It has been far too long since I have been on the blog.................
 
Christmas is coming and I haven't even put up my deco's .........(I normally would have started  at 11:13 am on Rememberance day).........I think that this is the first year EVER that I havn't been in the spirit AT ALL!!!!  I should be so excited about it because this is the first year in many, many, many, many years that I havn't had to work through the season.....So I should be enjoying it right???????????????????BA HUM BUG... 
 
 
TIS THE SEASON TO BE GRUMPY FA LA LA LA LA LA LA LA LA
 
my husband is really confused.................................He is usually the  one that grumbles and grunts whenever a christmas song or commercial comes on the tele.........Now it is me that is throwing a sock at the tv and burying my head in my pillow..........................................BAA!
 
We are travelling away this year for christmas so I don't see what the point is to put up a tree.  I don't even want all the little nicky nacks up either because then we just have to turn around and put them back in a couple of weeks......HUM!
  My husband is fine with the tree but apparently everything else goes up..
................BUG! barf!!!!!  I would really like to get excited really I would.......................................Looks like I will be doing a whole lot of pretending!!!!!!   FA LA LA LA LA LA LA LA LA
 
 
 
 
 
 
WHERE ARE YOU CHRISTMAS?????????????????????????????????????/

Politics!

Well Mr. Martin you have been exonerated!!!!  HHmm  Yes, the Gomery report was released today.........................(after Mr. Martin himself got to read it in private and detail throughout the night.......................just to be sure he didn't have to start up the jet at 3:00 am and sneak to Barbados)....And low and behold Jean Chretien and his cronies shoulder the responsibility for the scam.   ...................Liberal Assholes....................(excuse my outburst)...........We all joke about politians being crooks but to actually have an investigation to prove it??????................OUCH!......It makes me feel so warm and fuzzy inside to know that my tax dollars lined the insides of that son of a bitches pockets and his buuddiieess!!!!...........Now Paul wants the RCMP to take the riens at this point for charges and such. 
Pulease..................................and as for an election???????????????ah Yeah!!!!!!!  Paul must take Canadians for a bunch of idiots...........does he think that we forgot that he was the finance minister...during the start of the adscam...........and that he wouldn't have noticed 5oo+ thousand dollars missing at one time...........(not to mention the millions not mentioned).................................Bring on the election.......................Christmas eve or not.............I hope those Liberal assholes hurt themselves when the door hits them  on the way out!!!!!!!!

Oh Boy!

So my daughter's 6th birthday is coming up on the 26th of this month.   1st she wanted to have a Halloween party at the house.......and she only wanted to invite 13 kids in her class....which I guess seemed alright....Until I found out that there was only 16 kids in the class.........How mean would that have been...  At 6(almost) she has already begun to start the "cliche".  I don't think I really remember cliches when I was her age or older for that matter.  I just loved school.  I had lots of friends and I am pretty sure that everyone was friends.........or not.....Thinking back I think I do recall a few girls crying once and awhile because of something that might have been said or maybe they werent included in a game or two.  Actually girls are really mean and at a young age. 
  I know my dad likes to tell stories about how much a bitch I was, but I don't remember it like that.  There were sometimes people that I just didnt' like.  Why?  I cant' remember.  I just don't think that I was ever that bad.
  I don't want my daughter to be mean to anyone, yet she is already very vocal about some of the kids in her class.  She doesn't want at her party.  One boy she says is a bully and makes kids cry..one of the girls she doesn't like because she farts in class and her hair is always dirty..(poor kid) and then another girl because...
....to my horror............isn't very pretty................I was stunned, I immediately sent her to her room.....I know that I am not that type of parent.....where did this come from....It makes me sad to think that this girl is already being judged on her looks and she is in grade one.
  I quickly informed my daughter that looks are NOT everything and I really tried to get her to empathize with her...to no avail...........
  I don't know what to do....with her...not the party.....I have booked it at one of those crazy playground places and am just going to let the host/ess deal with all of the class.....(which by the way I am inviting)
  My daughter was alittle pissy that I was going to invite everyone, and if she disagreed...she would be spending her b-day with just us.  No party....
 
I WOULD LOVE SUGGESTIONS OF ANYKIND AS TO WHAT I AM DOING WRONG OR HOW I CAN CHANGE HER THINKING A BIT.

Today is the day the we look at what we have and stop grovelling that it isn't enough, and realize that we are lucky!!
 
  I don't do that enough and I really need to start looking at what we do have.  We are lucky!
  So enjoy your family, your turkey (or what ever it is you are eating) and love each other!

I saw my breath!

This morning I took my daughter to the bus, with baby of course, and when we stepped out side....we saw our breath........I love this time of year.......I love dressing her for school..............She though is getting a mind of her own and starting to hate what I am dressing her in.........'cause the other parents always comment on how good she looks.....I guess that is doom in her eyes......Whatever!
 
  So baby is now 6 months and she is too funny..........she loves food....I can't feed her fast enough....she has been trying to grab the bowl from my hands to .....I don;t know........inhale it?????  The neighbours are probably thinking that I must abuse her............'cause boy can she YELL!  ..........cute
she just hollars....over and......over and.....over and................geez!..Never mindd that I am always wearing what she is eating...........She has these nostrils that project food out like a hose.............................Dr. says that she is just "gifted".....yea!  How gross is that!...............how endearing is she........picture this.......she really is quite beautiful....(I know I am not just bias as we cant' go anywhere without people telling me to get her into modelling....bald head and all)..........big light blue eyes.......a head that looks bald but she has beige/red hair (?????  mailman????)   huge dimples...................smiling at you.................and green peas shooting out of her nose into your face..........ain't it grand!....
It is even prettier when she has carrots and peas or blueberries......hhmm.
