better

Well I guess it's better tonight. I talked to Carl a tad more. He thinks it's a good idea if he went away for a few weeks! WHAT!?!? Can I take a few weeks off as a mother!? NO! So how come he gets to take some time off!?

ARGH! Of course this is what I asked. I just didn't expect that he'd agree to it...

The kids went to daycare this afternoon. It was nice to see the other moms again! :) I went for lunch with my mom and without even thinking about it I had a vegetarian lunch! LOL!!!! It did involve whipped cream as dessert though! ;) Went to the library and got myself the Bridget Jone's diary book. It'll be nice to read it now that I saw the movie. Well that's IF I find time to read it.

That's it for now, it's already late enough for me. Though I just started a PSP tutorial! LOL! Hopefully I'll go to sleep early! ;)

Grrr!

Well he came home at 2AM! Gave a kiss to Lucas telling him how important he was in his life. WHAT!?!? He has NEVER said stuf like that while the kids were sleeping. He kissed me goodnight and said he loves me. We haven't kissed in 2 freakin' weeks and sure didn't talk about love either. Weird man!

6:55AM, he leaves for work!!!! Not even 5 hours in the house, even less of sleep. Are you trying to get killed on the job or something!?

Apparently he told my mom that he can't call when he's on the job! Humm... but you can pee right? Your partner has a cell phone, right? You go out to eat lunch in a restaurant each and every freakin' day, RIGHT? But no time to call home!?

GET OUT of my life! I hate you right now.

still sad

12:30AM, Carl hasn't come home from work... I'm numb, well not completly. I know I'll cry myself to sleep tonight. I checked my instant messanging programs and no one is on to chat. I go to a board to chat and guess I'm just too quiet to be noticed.

I feel so alone right now and all I'd want is a hug. :-( We watched the Wedding Planner movie tonight... It was a nice movie, a tad too romantic for tonight maybe. I cried...

I can't believe that Carl might have left us without telling me. Why!? At least tell me so I can deal with it, you know!? What should I tell the kids. MAN, this is hard. I feel just so alone in the whole wide world right now. I am blue.

Maybe he will come home tonight, who knows!? He never called today, not that he usually does. Doesn't he care about his own kids?

ARGH! Tears rolling, I just don't know what to do... Should I still pay his bills. How will I buy food this week!? The kids are going to daycare 4 afternoons in a row. My mom will help pay but he knows they are going. How can I pay for that if he doesn't bring money home?

I am sad... I don't know what to do. I'm crying... life just isn't fun anymore. I keep making concessions for everyone all the freakin' time. I want to be alone, I want to have peace, I want to be loved by someone who really wants to love me. I want my family to be happy. Who would want of a girl with two kids!? I'm 25 years old and it feels like life just ended right now. I don't have time to enjoy my youth, I don't have the energy to play with the kids and build happy memories. I don't want this life anymore.

I dream of 2 weeks away on my own. Take the train and just go to Parry Sound, to my aunt's and hopefully they have a bed available.

I don't want to wake up tomorrow knowing that Carl never came home. Zoe is sleeping on daddy's pillow right now. How do I tell her in the morning that he never slept home, how do I tell her that I have no clue when he'll hug her next. Do I tell her he still loves her or that he's just a bastard feel leaving me like this?

I'm hurt!

sad

I might not be around as much this week. Either that or I'll be spending all of my time on the computer! LOL! My fiance and I had quite a talk last night and well, I don't know what came out of it. We might be breaking up, he left for work with a bag this morning. I don't know if it were clothes in it or what. So right now I have no clue if he is coming home tonight or not. I am not a mess yet but might get there as the evening sets in if he's not home.

We talked on our way to the video rental store and then bumped into Zoe's godmother. We then walked with hwer to a store and came back home with her.

Then I went out with my mom to get us treats for dessert. We got caught in the rain! BIG rain storm, we were more than soaked to the bone. Twice I was caught in the rain today. Guess I can skip my shower! LOL! ;-)

So anyway, by the time we get back home, Zoe was sleeping and Lucas wanted to nurse. We started to watch the Bridget Jones movie. He went to bed right in the middle of the movie, Lucas was still up and so was my mom. We never got to talk about how I felt and what I said earlier was basically that I'd like him to live elsewhere. He looked at me like I had 3 eyes of something. I guess he was in shock!? I don't know, we never got to discuss about this and he left for work before I got to wake up.

We'll see tonight if he comes home and even if he does, we still need to talk... For the past week we've been sleeping in seperate rooms and I really like that.

Now if this ends up being that I am a single mother, I NEED to make money and FAST! Now how do I do that? ;-)

fast one

Well I'm mad again! At Carl of course! He just pisses me off. He got home at 10pm tonight. Apparently it took them 5 hours to get a piano out of a building! Come on! Anyway, I still haven't seen last week's paycheck and I just got this week's. He is making LESS than he used too and it looks like he worked 32hours!? WHAT!?!?!?!? He's gone from early morning to late night, 6 days a week and he's only working 32hours!? BULL SHIT! Something is not right!

I know he's not cheating on me. Something is still fishy anyway. Well he got home tonight told me about the piano story, then went outside, told my mom that story and dress Zoe in pj's and went to bed. Can't I get a break from the kids or something!? Well noooo he is tiiiiiiiired! What am I!?!?!?!? GEEZ! I want a two weeks off from being a mom. I do like my computer more than the kids on certain days. Yeah, SUE ME!

I think I'd get more money if I were single and asked for social assistance + some money for the kids from Carl. I just want a break and becoming a single mom would sure not give me more time to myself that's for sure! So what's the use!? I just endure the life I have right now and get something to rant about in my journal...

So yesterday Tori dropped by, she's already back from Europe. She didn't tell me anything about it though! lol! She wants us to take some time to tell me all about her adventure.

Today Tina and her girls came over. It was Zoe's 1st ever scheduled lunch and play date. We had a great time. We played in the backyard, I help a 4month old in my arms for at least a half-hour! She was soooo little and light! ;-) I wanna babyyyyyy, ok so I don't but babies are soooooo cute! :) Zoe was a monster to her friend though! :( She's take her toys away from the little one's hands and just was a hell of a Miss Attitude. I tried to make her friend laugh and it worked a few times! She's really shy and God knows I am too, so I guess we got along! :)

Tina is vegetarian and made us taste some veggie lunch'meat', it was pretty good. She baked muffins this:00 AM too, blueberry with whole wheat flour and wheat germ in them. They were gooooood! :) I've always been intrigued about becoming a vegetarian and it was nice to talk about it to someone in real life. {I talked about you today Tami!} ;) My special online vegetarian friend! lol!

She might invite us over for a meal sometime and she says she can make us like eggplant! lol! She really tries to convert one person after the other she can! Very sweet mama that I got to spend the afternoon with! :) I really enjoyed myself! :)

I'm still in love with PSP, yes I know, it's ONLY a computer program! :-P I just wished I had more time to learn it. Can't wait until next week, the kids are going to daycare FOUR afternoons!!!!! :D

Well tired, off to bed.

tired mama

Well I'm really tired but wanted to type something at least.

This afternoon Carl and I had time to ourselves. My mom babysat the kids, as usual. So we went to the old port and downtown. Had a great time, ate at DaGiovani's, pasta of course! LOL! Went shortly to the big book store after. I love it there and they make just the great Chai Latte too! Yummy! :) Carl encouraged me to buy the last SueGrafton book, I love her series, this one's title is O like the letter o. lol! O is for Outlaw, I believe, can't remember anymore. He also found the cutest book for Zoe, a Precious Moments book called Heaven's Little Helpers. It was 50% off = 2,19$ and my book was 8$, so I think we got goo sale prices! :)

So rewind in time for a second, Carl got home from New Bruiswick at 03:30am, got up at 11am. We went shopping when he got up and saw a sports clothing store that was closing. We went in and I found some shoes I've been eyeing since last fall. Rust colored Merrell walking shoes. Oh my goodness, 1st got them at 50% off!!!! Also Carl promised that he'd pay me back half of the price of them in exchange that I upfront the money needed to buy himself a baseball hat with O'neil written on it! LOL! 2nd- these shoes are sooooo comfy. I walked and walked today, at least 5 hours on my feet and they fell great, no soreness, no nothing. They have these insoles in them that I can buy new at any sports store if needed, with air bubbles in them! ooooooh! ROFL! ;-)

Had a great day, Carl had the day off, obviously! ;-) I can sincerely say that Mister X is out of my thoughts these past few days. Also, I just joined an "exclusive" Paint Shop Pro list! I feel special! lol! We are only 20 on this list and it's really friendly. Hope I learn to make graphics half as nice as what the others have made. They are simply stunning!

Hugs :o) I love everyone, my life, my SLEEPING kids and ice cream! LOL! Oh we've been sleeping on the futon placed on the livingroom floor for the past few days. It's been fun! :)

NB

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*

copy from what I wrote elsewhere.

Well I'm doing better. Yesterday even looking at the computer screen made me nauseous. Dh is at work today, I can't believe how insentive he's been through all of this. Work IS really more important to him than his family and it's made me feel so not worth anything.

My mom caught what I had, I would have diarrhea and throw up at the same time, it was really the worst. I wanted to die, I was sooooo exhauted and dh could care less.

He did bring Zoe to the movies last night to give me a break... That was after feeding Lucas smoked meat for supper. Lucas throw that up just as we were laying down and I missed Zoe's 1st time at the movies! Dh bought her popcorn, chocolate and candies! Hummm.... HELLO!? She was sick just 2 days ago. I can't believe he's that careless.

Today he's off to work 'cause well they "need" him! Work IS really more important to him than his family. I really just realized this a minute ago and I don't know how to deal with this. I'd almost hope that someone would end in the hospital just so he'd realize that work isn't everything, yk!? Of course I don't really want that but MAN, how can he say tell his boss he'll be at work (he called yesterday to comfirm) while I was vomiting in a bucket not 2 minutes before the call!!!

Thanks for all the hugs, we aren't out of the woods yet but hopefully today I can go take some fresh air! Yesterday I was afraid to even go outside, in case I wouldn't make it on time to the bathroom. Yes it was that bad, not 10minutes would pass that I was back in the bathroom.

My mom and I, are on Pedialyte (that pharmacist suggested it) and I've had my 1st snack (applesauce) since yesterday morning. I did just drink some cranberry tea and the heat felt really good. I think today will be a good day but my mom still feels pretty nauseous.

Thank goodness the kids are really sweet with us. They've been sleeping alot. Which sure helps me as I was up every hour this past night. We need to start eating healthy and not just that fast food/restaurant crap dh wants us to eat all the time. He's been drinking soft drinks throughout these past few days and I really resent the fact that he hasn't been sick. He's eating all junk food and I'd really like for us to get back on track and show our kids how healthy food is good for you.

Well that's our update for now! Thanks for the hugs! (o:

copy from post I wrote elsewhere.

Well it started last night, right after I turned the computer off. We had alot of heavy storm and Zoe was scared of the lightning. We had planned to "camp in the livingroom" for the night but then Zoe threw up over almost the whole futon. Dh goes to bed at 10pm and Zoe threw up 3 times in about 15min. We changed everything, pj, pillow, blanket and sheet. Her mattress was right next to ours in the bedroom.

She didn't stop throwing up so we moved her to the livingroom. I went to bed with Lucas at 12:30am and then he started throwing up! I took a bunch of prefolds and stacked them all on top of each other. Each time Lucas was sick I'd take the top prefold off and all would be clean. {I remembered that idea from these boards} It was 02:15am by the time Lucas fell asleep.

By 5am, dh gets up for work and I can hear my mom talking to Zoe, so they both got no sleep this past night. Zoe is not tolerating water and my mom call the hospital and they suggested milk... That was NOT a good idea! Poor Zoe

Dh left for work at 05:30am, with me outside in jammies screaming all the nasty things I could think up at that time! He never realized that the kids were sick. WHAT!?!?!? So he is being a great insensitive Jerk today. "Well they need me at work!" he says. I do not care! He is needed at home too...

Anyway, Zoe just slept about 90minutes and she then fell asleep again. She is afraid of the "bucket" now! Don't want to throw up anymore. Lucas is sleeping in my arms, where else does he ever sleep? He hasn't nursed all night and he threw up water he drank this morning. I am afraid to nurse him and make this even worse.

Sorry this is long, this mama only slept 3 hours. My mom just went to bed to rest a bit. Poor Zoe she has her 1st play date scheduled today! I sure feel bad for having to cancel it but she's sooo weak. ACK!

At 8am, we'll go buy some of that Pedialyte stuff, I don't feel like measuring stuff and mixing it wrong or whatever. Can I just get a hug or something? Long day ahead.

*UPDATE*

Well Lucas had diarrhea all day and Zoe hasn't kept anything down, not even water. She just lost her supper and Lucas couldn't keep his lunch down, he didn't touch his supper.

So basically they both haven't kept anything down all day. They are in good spirits but I am getting pretty tired. I washed the hallway floor 3 times today and given them countless baths. Tomorrow we will go to the clinic if the night is as rough as last night!

lucky day

Man we are soooo lucky! Today we bought a Little Tikes climbing toy, 40$. On the next street they had it for sale, my mom tried to deal the price but the guy was set on getting his 40$. When Carl and I went to go pick it up, they included a "banana" which is a yellow rocking 'thing'. lol! Kids can sit on it and rock.

Well it's in the yard and the kids are having a great time. The mom of the 2 adopted kids who (I guess) lives with her dad comes along. She has a small bike to give us! FREE! With training wheels!!! Oh my goodness, isn't this great or what!? Well we sure got our 40$ worth! :D I was sooo shocked that they simply gave us the bike. This is a bike just like the one Zoe rides on each time we go to the mall. As soon as we pass the department store she NEEDS to go sit and try the bike. She sometimes rides it through the whole store! LOL! Well she now has one of them bike!!! :) New they cost more than what we paid for the set we bought tonight! It's unbelievable, we are soooo lucky! :)

Carl finished early and brought some yummy pacane covered cinnamon buns. Yummy stuff! :) We ate pasta with alfredo sauce and I don't know why but the sauce was sooo good tonight! Even dh commented on it being so delicious. I guess we'll be sticking to this store brand sauce! Cheap but GOOD! lol! ;)

Well I'm just happy! :) I played with Paint Shop Pro again today, nothing worthy of posting but hopefully soon I'll have stuff to show off! I am really liking this program, so I might go into graphics in the fall!? We'll see...

~happy dancing all the way to bed~


p/s: Laura, I'm thinking of you and hope all goes well tomorrow!

pp/s: Got news from Tori, she's now in Versailles, France.

bed-time

quick entry 'cause I'm dead tired!

Carl is back home safe! :) I sure feel better knowing this! :) I sure wish we could pack our bags and go to Toronto for the weekend. WithOUT the kids... I love the subways and taking the train to TO. I love trains! :) Some day, some day, we'll be able to travel little weekends! :)

So today was monday aka let's do nothing all day! LOL! I didn't feel like doing anything at all. Well I did try to do some Paint Shop Pro tutorials. I finished 1, it took me 4 hours! ROFL! Now this is a tut that would take anyone else about 15minutes to complete. ;) I:00 AM intelligent! teehee! just have kids in the way, ok? ;)

So here's the prized PSP creation of the day: Just a little project but hey! finishing it made my day! :)

Yesterday I also played around and made dolls and of course, here are my 2 creations:

I think they are cute! :)

Well that's pretty much it, Carl might have wednesday off and friday my mom and I are supposed to go out for supper! I need to tell dh to try and get home early on that night! Sheesh! i forgot to tell him...

hugs,

TO

So I get a call at 07:30am yesterday! "I need you to pack my clothes, we're leaving for Toronto asap!" Hun!? 1- Don't wake me up if you won't come by in the hour 2- Don't scare me like that! lol!

The guys were packing someone stuff in the truck and learned this stuff had to go to Toronto! Humm... ok, can no one call and warn us that they will leave for the night!?

Anyway, Carl came home at 5pm, he ate supper with us and went to sleep. Him and Dan would leave with the truck at midnight, they'll get there 6 hours later. The unpacking of the truck should take 5 hours so they'll probably be home by supper time today. Well see...

It was 1am when we heard the company truck turn the corner. Carl was very anxious and excited to leave! He's such a baby! LOL! He bought himself a whole lot of snacks for the road! Hey! you're not leaving for 2 weeks! Also he bought a cigar! teehee!

Of course today I'll be checking the news to make sure they aren't in them! As he left yesterday we hugged and said we loved each other! We hugged!? Not even a peck on the cheek, it made me feel weird, very weird! As if we were old pals saying "oh be safe now!" So if this was the last time I saw him, I never got a kiss. I might be thinking too much of it but it still made me feel way weird.

So as dh was sleeping yesterday, my mom and I with the kids went to the park! They had a blast playing for more than an hour and when we came back, they cooperated at bath time and both fell asleep before Carl woke up! At least they weren't all over the place super hyped up like usual! ;)

The kids both slept well this past night. Of course mom on the other hand, did not! :( I was teary as I fell asleep and hugged a sweatshirt of dh's to fall asleep! I hope they are ok! What I'd give to be in Toronto today! Just walk around while they unpacked! LOL! Some day I hope we'll get to go together. Carl is really fun to travel with. :) The ultimate trip would be to bring him to my family's deep in the woods house! Man, he'd LOVE it!

My mom let me sleep an extra hour this morning. I think I must've needed it 'cause it felt really good! :) So on this day, July 15, I don't think we'll do much but hey, it's a happy day!

:)

Gotta love garage sales! :)

Today we get up bright and early and went garage sale shopping! :) It was right next to my lil'tiny appartment I once had! WOW! The memories just come back each time I pass there! I did notice that where my ex lived the building is getting all renovated, there's no one living in the whole complex anymore. Wonder what ever happened of Sebastien...

So back to shopping! LOL! I bough a double stroller for dolls with 2 cute dolls for 20$! I was pretty pleased with the bargaining I did to get all of that at that price! :) We also found the game Scattegories, which I've been wanting for a long time. A few other things were both and the kids were really nice about all this shopping! It was right next to the water so we could see huge boats go by.

It was a really nice day! :) I hope I get to play my new board game soon! I love board games but never play anymore since our second child was born!

Off to bed!

friday

Well today is friday, it was a slow day. We did go out for lunch and that was fun! lol! :) Got a pizza slice, fries and a pepsi for 1,99$ GREAT price! It's a summer special at our supermarket. We shall go back and try other things from the menu.

Carl took the industrial sewing machine with Dan, Dan's wife works in sewing and will repair and update our new machine. Dan will refinish the table it came with! Can't wait to see it when it works! :)

Tonight Carl got me out of the house for supper. We went to Gorgio's a pasta place. I hadn't been there for more than a year! It was sooooo good! Especially the rolled ice cream cake with hot fudge sauce! My oh my was that HEAVEN!!!! I didn't even eat half my supper to be sure to have enough space in my stomach for dessert! LOL! I did bring back my pasta though! ;)

As we were having supper I realised that Carl and I, it can last! He is a good guy, just wasn't raised in a "normal" circumstance! Who did? ;) Anyway I know he is trying his best at being a provider and family man, I just expect more sometimes. Oh well... we will get through anything! :)

Isn't that a shocker to read this!? LOL! We'll I'm tired, supper was soooo good but I'm still a tad too foul! LOL!

hugs.

Jo, who is still thinking of taking a computer programming class in the fall! :)

Oh! Dh is off from work tmorrow! woohoo! So we shall go check out a few garage sales! ~happy dance!~

This morning I was happy! :) Got up with a smile, life was simply beautiful! Had a great big breakfast to eat and the kids were enjoying their food too.

I had to go see Cecile and prepare my order. My mom and I took the two strollers and walked the hour it takes us to go to Cecile's. Kids were great, we went to the flower shop, bought 2 plants. Came home and grabbed ice cream as our afternoon snack! yum yum! :)

The shoe store called, my blue shoes are in! I've been eyeing them since before my birthday, can't wait to go try them on! I am sooooo excited! woohoo! Got to the store... TADADA!!!! The salesguy has no clue what we are talking about! DUH! Gets his supervior and she tells another clerk where the shoes are in the backstore! I just want MY shoes! Woohoo, they have them, I have the box in my hands! :) Sit down, try them on, they don't fit! HEY!!!! They don't WHAT!? I try them on again, broke the zipper thingy off, still don't fit and now broken! Well they aren't worth much. -No thanks, we won't take them after all! SHEESH! That was not what I expected! :( I've been dreaming of them shoes! waaaah!

Oh well, we bought pizza for supper, put it in the over and dh got home just in time to have supper with us.

No he does not have the day off tomorrow... Why am I surprised!?

OH!!!! I call the bill collector yesterday and cleared off a bill! woohoo! only 25 bills to go! LOL! No, not really! ;) But in the last month, no credit card companies have called and I've cleared off 3 bills! I'm pretty proud of myself! :) Of course the bills left are pretty high but slowly I am getting them down!

Lucas is sleeping in his own bed!!! :) With his lovey blanket made by Stacy and sent to us as a gift by Isabel! I'm still shocked that people from the internet have been so generous towards us!

Tonight I get an IM, a mama will buy us Snappis for Lucas's diapers! How sweet is that!? I'm amazed by the kindness of people!

'night moon! :)

bad me

Haven't updated my journal in a few weeks! Bad me! I would've written the same things day in and day out!

- Carl pisses me off

- Carl is never home, he leaves at 05:15am and comes back around 9pm.

- Carl doesn't make as much money as he says or at least, he keeps all his tips so it's not like I can pay bills with them.

- Carl thinks the kids will take care for themselves if he doesn't move while they scream.

- Carl is wrong!

Well, what has happened in the last 2 weeks!? A heat wave, VERY hot! Kids got a new kiddie pool, it's a whale and they have a "roof" on it so they can play in the shade.

My mom just started a new diet, Susan Summers is the one telling us what we eat this week! ;) We've been eating pretty good too and my mom hasn't cheated as much as any other diets she's been on! I hope she looses the weight she wants, she's been so unhappy about her weight for so long. Being happy would suit her well! :)

We are going out for lunch! :) My mom called and after her job is done she'll treat us! Yipee! :) It'll give us an excuse to get out for a while. The little neighbour's grand daughter is back from her vacations so we need to get out for a while to not ruin my day! Yeah! We'll let the kids play with her someday but just not today, I don't feel I have the energy to deal with her high pitched voice.

Well 'Laura', this is today's entry! If you're lucky I might have time to write more tonight! ;)

hugs and know that there are some friends that are behind you on your opinions, we might not voice them as openly as you do but we are there! :)

p/s: I'm doing good! lol! I am right, dh is wrong and the whole world is a happy place!
