Happy Monday!!...ick!
Mondays...ick! Now I know why Garfield hated them so much. They are creepy, ugly, mean and long days that somedays don't last long enough, but sometimes are too long. Like today for example! Got up at 7am, I wanted to catch Sherri online and tell her that I'm madly in love with her purse, I wanted to put the ribs on marinade, put the pot roast in the slow cooker and get the dishes done. I came downstairs with all these plans in head, only to sit on the couch and fall asleep again. I was woken up by the sound of my computer yelling at me because I had a new email. Jumped 10 feet off the couch and saw that Sherri was talking to me :)
Not only did I have to deal with getting all three kids off to school this morning, but also getting things together for an appointment in Collingwood with Steven.
To go back to Sunday night, I asked him to get all his gas reciepts together so I could do some paperwork and turn it in while we were in Collingwood, instead of me having to make another trip there tomorrow. He said he had left them in the box containing all his stuff from his Sunfire. After he couldn't find the box, I asked him if they were maybe in the glovebox of his Civic, "nope, I don't remeber putting them there". So I left it alone. This morning, 10 MINUTES BEFORE WE HAVE TO GO!! and about a half an hour after I had given up on the thought of doing this paperwork, doesn't he come to me with his reciepts!! "Where were they honey?" "In the glovebox of the Civic". I walked away, angry, hormonal and muttering under my breath. (I've just started bitch control, I mean birth control again...not fun) So, don't I have to run around like an idiot collecting up stuff we need in order to get all this crap turned in. OI! Men...they make me nuts sometimes!!
So we get to our appointment...5 minutes late might I add due to construction on the main streett. So, we get into our appointment with a lovely lady named Shelly, and get about halfway through to have our other worker (Darcy) come in and tell us she needs to see us, to come back at 1:15... ... ... DAMMIT!! That office makes me uneasy, bitchy and not to mention, makes me stutter. Long story short, we went, dealt with a screaming unhappy baby for 2 hours, and left. On the plus side, I got my hot apple cider for the day and Steven and I got to have a nice drive home :)
I haven't updated in a while...this is normal for anything I start. I don't tend to finish it. It is frustrating.
I LOVE MY MOMMY!! ...She came and visited me on Saturday. Spent an entire day with me! I'm so happy to have got to spend some time with her! I've missed her so much! She finally met Sherri and loved her! We all sewed together, sorted through donated clothing together, drank TERRIBLE coffee together (sorry 'bout that guys!) hung clothing...it was amazing! I couldn't have asked for or even wanted a more perfect day! After Sherri left, my mom and I got lunch from Affairs (awesome little cafe down the street that has the most AMAZING sandwiches in the WOOOOORLD!!), went back to the store, ate, I found out that my moms sheltie likes eating carrot sticks, as well as spinach, grapes and yogurt. lol! Then we sat on the floor, crocheted and talked. It was superb! I wish we lived closer, I miss hanging out with my mommy.
On top of that perfect day, she gave me her serger!! I couldn't believe it!! About a week ago, it decided that it was going to blow up on her. She had it fixed, only to give it to me! :D I can't wait to use it! I've wanted to, but I've been busy...and my sewing area is a freaking mess. I'm thinking of taking the day off tomorrow. It's not like I'm going to miss anything at that damn store, and it would give me the chance to get things done. I just wish I had someone to fold my mountain of laundry with. I hate folding it alone...it gets lonely :(
So, another interesting thing: I got some new pieces of furniture. I'm part of a group called Freecycle. I love it! I've recieved so many nice things from there for free, it is great!! Anyhoo, I got some new couches! Dark brown microfibre...and comfortable! OMG!! I love them! I also got a gorgeous corner cabinet from Steven's father's girlfriend. (They are selling the house and getting rid of things...yea!!) So, long story short, my friend Ashley came over on Sunday and as we were moving the couch to get the cabinet in the corner, I decided to look in the hole in the back of the couch (the cushions have come away from the backing of the couch...easy fix) We found a couple dinky cars for the kids, a pretty cool looking airplane for Jonathan. Steven got a flashlight, and I found a mummified mouse!!!! :oO Terrible!! ...isn't the word EEEEEKKKKKK!!! So I ran outside and smoked and freaked out! lol! But, alas, my wonderful Steven saved the say and caught the mouse! He is my hero! Knight in shining armor! :D
Why am I so tired?! ...OH YEA!! 4 kids, a million cats, up at the crack of dawn, late to bed and a lot of bullshit to deal with.
Go figure!
I can't believe Ugly Betty has been cancelled!!!!!!!! I'm so sad!!! :'( Why is it that they always cancel the shows I really get into? Lipstick Jungle, Eastwick, Saved by the Bell! lol! Just kidding, but seriously?! Saved by the Bell?! Zach and Screech are still hot and AC Slater...have you not seen his bady lately?! ...oh Christ!! Hook me up with some of that!! :D lol! (I love you Steven!!)
I <3 my new couches...I'm so comfy! :D
I've started crocheting a snuggle blanket for Rachel...it is super adorable! And I can't wait to finish it! I found a pattern on how to make some things to embellish it with...I'll post photos when I'm done :)
Well, I'm off to have some mommy time...crochet and tv, oh, and a couple of smokes.
(True story: I just fell asleep with my hand on the "e" button. lol!)
Good night! D
