Well today, we are slowly recovering from our sick weekend. Wait was it just the weekend!? Hummm... we are so mixed up with our days here. Carl doesn't have weekends off so we never keep those days straight.
Well at noon, the phone rings, "pack my bag, we will be coming by shortly!" he says from the other end of the receiver. What!?!? No, not again! :-( Well 1pm, he's here with the 30 foot long truck. They are off to New Brunswick! :( 10-12 hours by truck to get there. {sigh!} he won't even be back for my mom's birthday! :( We tried to calculate when he'd be back home and he might just might get here at the start of tuesday. They left at 1pm + 10 hour ride = 11pm. They sleep in hotel/motel/whatever/truck for what I care. Start unpacking truck at 8am + 5 hours to empty it = 1pm. then ride back home: 10h = 11pm monday night! So ok! maybe I calculated wrong at 1st! But oh, wait! Being that life always gets in the way with it's quirky ways. Add a few extra hours for the traveling say 2 hours each way and add 2 hours of labor once they are there = easily being back home at 5am! Well that's in fact being back at work. He'd then have to come home by taxi I suppose. "IF" he has the money for it! Which I assume he has, but wait, how weird is it that he never got paid this week... Humm.... Goo thing I'M taking care of bills! Oops! I did forget to pay one... At least we have money to feed ourselves while he is gone on the road.
Now this is the 2nd time he leaves on the road like this with no call before hand to at least warn us this will happen the next day. We were sick as dogs just a few hours ago and apparently Carl told his boss. Then this same boss decides to ship my boyfriend to the next province!? ooooh if I could just kick him in the butt... ;-)
Well Zoe woke up from her nap earlier and she was freezing, something was wrong. I ask her if she needs to potty and yes. We run to the bathroom and boom! diarrhea! :( Poor potty learned Zoe is starting this! I've suggested shee wears training pants 'cause well we know how it can get and I really am proud that she's succeeded the toilet learning. I just didn't want an accident to make her look down on herself. Anyway, she's been a very good sport about all this sickness! She's a real trooper. I think the extra popsicles make her feel good! ;-) Lucas is still pooping alot! I hope he beats this too. I am doing well, now I'll probably get constipated! LOL! My mom seams to do well too!
I've lost 5 freakin' pounds! That shocked me. Not that I'm trying to loose weight! LOL! But someone asked how much I lost and I had to check. In 3 days we ate almost nothing. My appetite is coming back slowly, I drank some apple juice too fast and I felt nauseated after. So I'm taking it slow, for supper tonight, we had pasta. I love pasta so it was good for my mind too! :)
I saw someone from LLL today, she's 9 weeks away from giving birth to her 2nd child, a boy. I was totally and completly in shock to see her so big. I didn't even know she was preg, I did know she wanted a 2nd child and fast. Her kids will have 15 months difference! WOW! Also next saturday she's getting married! What!?!?!? She always dreamed of getting married pregnant she said. Ah well... Guess I should be happy 'cause she sure seemed to be happy. I just ranted to her about Carl and how since the last time I saw her he'd gone from one job in import/export to a meat place and then this next job. She then concluded our lil'chit chat with a "goodluck with your moving guy" It felt like an exasperation. Guess I am too, ie. exasperated. LOL! What kind o'life am I living!? Ah well... guess some just get to be happier for more reasons than other.
Well that's it for now. I've subbed to a french Paint Shop Pro list and I'm having alot of fun learning about PSP. My creations are not astonishing or whatever but hey, I'm having fun here! :P
night *poof*
