Happy Monday!!...ick!

| at 10:07 PM

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

What an amazing day!!!

| at 11:32 PM

Hoppy Easter everyone!! I can't believe how nice it was today!! Not as nice as it was yesterday, but as long as there is no snow, I'm smitten as a kitten!

It started with a shower! lol! I love my showers! But no, really...I showered, I got ready for work. Went to work. Decided it was pointless to be open today. Closed the store but turning off the lights and pulling my sign. Decided that it might be nice to be open. Re-opened by putting the sign back out and turning the lights back on. Thought, "Nobody in their right mind is going to come in today". Closed again. Remembered that I told Sherri that I was going to be open today. Re-opened. Figured I could call her and let her know I was closed and at home. Closed. Thought about all the money I wasn't going to be making if I were closed. Re-opened. Put up my "Back in 10 minutes" sign, headed home and got the kids from Steven so he could go to work. Walked back to the store. Took down my "Back in 10 minutes" sign. My parents came. They brought me my patio table (hooray!) and set it up. We all hung out outside, the kids played, my parents and I watched and talked. We closed the store (for the rest of the day this time!). Went back to the house. Played outside. My parents went home (my dad messed up his shoulder yesterday: he was sore). Steven showed up literally 5 minutes after they left :( The kids played outside with bubbles and I played with them. Daddy played with Savanna on the slide, I eventually joined them. He then hauled out the motorized garden wagon and hooked it up to the little green kids wagon. Anyways, we ended up putting together the train and taking a "walk". (Savanna in the power wheels jeep, Jayden and Rachel in the green wagon and Jonathan driving) Steven and I walked behind while holding hands. <3 We went through the park, up George St. down to the water, threw rocks in the water, walked up the main street, and then back down, then home. It was soooo nice, and I loved being able to spend the nice day with my family! <3 We had sooo mnay people slow down to look at the "train", we even had one woman and guy stop their car and tell us that he thought it was so cool, and that his wife had come home and picked him up after seeing us and drove him around town just so he could see it! lol! I love it! I'm so proud of my inventor man! <3

After dinner, I bathed the kids, and then Steven and I put them to bed. Right now I'm sitting across from my man on a very uncomfortable chair, updating my blog while he ventures through the Blasted Lands (WoW).

I'm so excited about my "new" sewing area. Steven aquired a new desk from his dad. So he brought it home on Thursday and set it up, which meant getting rid of his old desk, a sturdy, "L" shaped desk. I've wanted it FOREVER and pounced on it as soon as he said he was done with it! lol! So I set it up Thursday night before I headed out with my bestie. Last night (Saturday) I "christened" it by making my very first piece of clothing: a little pink with black polka dots pullover dress for Rachel...I LOVE it! It isn't perfect, but it is my first attempt! ...I'm very proud, and she loves it! :D 
So, my parents came over today, as I mentioned. My mom made the girls ADORABLE outfits!! She made Rachel a dress, and Savanna a shirt and shorts set. Don't forget the matchy matchy scruntchie and headbands! So, anyways, she gave the girls their dresses, handed me 2 more dresses like Rachels so I could sell them in my store, and the pulled out a matching adult dress for...my mannequin??! No, uh uh...this isn't going to work! She told me that the cut wasn't going to be very flattering on me, and that she is sure someone would buy it. Well, I brought it home and tried it on, and I LOVE IT!! I suits me PERFECTLY!! It is exactly what I live in during the hot summer days that I just don't feel like dressing. I have a black one upstairs just like it! It is is nice tomorrow, I know what I'm wearing!! :) And I can't wait to get the girls in their outfits, me in mine and get Steven to take some nice summertime photos! (I'll post them as soon as we do!)

I CAN'T WAIT UNTIL WEDNESDAY NIGHT!!! There...I said it!! It is officially my first Bitch n' Stitch! I don't know who is coming, if they are coming and when they are coming, but I'll be there and as long as someone shows up, I'll be happier than...than...a kid in a candy store!! HEY!! Maybe I'll show off my new dress!!!XD And my parents bought me a really awesome coffee/tea/iced coffee maker for Easter...I'm going to use it on Wednesday as well!! I can't wait!! :D

Even though I'm soooo excited right now, thinking about my Bitch n' Stitch makes me think about someone else. We will call her Stacy. Stacy and I were friends. We were good frineds, at least, thsi is what I thought. Not too long ago, we had a falling out. It wasn't a falling out really: I see it as, she didn't want to be my friend anymore and picked something out of a hat to be mad at me about, confronted me on the street with my 3 kids, and we haven't spoken since. But call it what you will.

So, I was talking to my mom today about Stacy, and how much the whole situation is bothering me. Because even though I couldn't care less about what her friend Rochelle thinks about what, and I couldn't care less that Stacy has decided to end the friendship over something stupid and petty, it is still bugging me. Either way, my son Jonathan was hanging around and announced to me that Stacy's daughter (in Jonathan's class) told him that Stacy was mad at me, that I did something very mean to Stacy and that she thinks I'm a bitch. Hold the phone now, call me a bitch, go for it, it tickles me pink to hear that, tell me what you want about whatever you want...come to my store and bitch me out because someone shit in your cornflakes...who cares, but the minute you decide to start involving my 10 year old son in this is the moment that I loose all respect for you and all parties involved. I'm so angry I don't know what to do. Honestly, do you think he hasn't been through enough, now you need to involve him in bullshit small town gossip and politics??? Give me a fucking break, what are you 2?? *uhm* ...sorry...it just makes me sooo mad!

Stacy (You know who you are) If you are reading this (or Rochelle, as I think you are) If you have a problem, you know where I live, you know where I work, hell, you have every number of every phone that I own. Get your head out of your ass, call me, confront me (but preferrably not on the Main Street of Creemore this time) get it out of your system to me...not my 10 year old. This has gone on long enough. I'm not coming to you, I'm not the one with the initial problem. You don't want to be my friend, fine. Dandy. But when it comes to my friends, my kids, and my family. Fuck off! I'm tired of making myself sick over this situation. I'm tired of feeling like an asshole, because that is what you have made me out to be. Grow up!!

Thats all.

So tomorrow...tomorrow I'm closed because it is Monday and Mondays I'm closed. I'm thinking of cleaning. The house needs it. But I'm also thinking of sewing...yea sewing!! :) I need some more fabric. (I can hear Steven's voice in my head now: No!! No, you don't, you have enough!!) My problem is, I've been buying to make purses. Not clothing. Now that I'm getting into clothing, I need to buy more yardage per print. Instead of purchasing 1 meter that will do me one purse, I need to buy enough of something to be able to make a batwing shirt (my next project) or another couple of dresses for the girls. So there! :p

I'm also hoping that Sherri comes over...bring your son...it'll be fun! :D

Anyhoo, I'm going to go watch tv and knit. It has been a while since I sat down to knit. I miss my knitting! :'( I'ma coming! Momma's coming!! :)

Nighty night y'all! xoxo
