CHAOSlife=chaos July 13 Just another day in paradiseJust had the 3 boys today...which in itself can be quite the handful. It's a busy week, trying to keep the house clean and Darryl's getting a lot of hours at work. Plus he's working on Saturday this weekend and going out. I'm out all day on Sunday, which should be a really good time.... get to meet some people i havent met yet and have a get-away time from the house! Hanging out with the GF is always the best!
I wish today was as hot as yesterday! My grandma called me just to make sure that we were all still alive. She watches the weather network constantly and saw that our weather was HOT compared to their's in ONtario. (what a nut)
Gotta go check out more s h i t on the net.......
Peace out June 20 OMG!There's things that 'trip me out' in life and here's one of them.
On Friday, June 15th, I talked to a GF of mine that I havent talked to in QUITE a while... we get the paper delivered but my mother-in-law takes it to work so I look at it when she gets home from work.... I read most of it ...as I always have ... but always read the horoscopes.........weird what I read THAT day (and this was for hers which is what we talked about)
Old friends are back in your life again. Perhaps they'll provoke you to change your goals or modify your long-term objectives? Something is going on in this area of your life. You might be doing a bit a soul-searching.
k~ spooky
peace out
June 13 LMAO.....no shit....my horoscopeYou might be troubled by some disturbing dreams tonight, Corilayn. Even though the dreams are scary, be courageous and write them down. You may be able to find a positive message that wasn't immediately apparent. If you are plagued by money worries, know that the situation is not as bad as you suspect. The facts will pull you out of your panic. June 2007!Just thought i'd drop a note in the blog since i havent done it in....forever..... just re-read the quotes to live by entry i put in.....good ones...but you can tell i didnt get much sleep then..hahaha. Just got on facebook and ended talking to a few people i havent talked to in quite a while....that was pretty cool!
Trenten is trying to guess what i bought at the store ...he just got home from school. Saje just got up from his nap and Jade is still napping. Trying to get the house in order for this weekend. It's father's day and Phil is coming down from Penticton...partially for father's day and coz Tina had baby Trevor. Darryl and I are going to have a hamburger cookoff to see who makes the best homemade burgers....I think Shane and Lori are coming out to judge too...course i think i'm going to win...but what else is new? I've been making burgers since Darryl was about 6 years old...hahahaha. We'll have to tell Saje that they're "special" burgers...ever since his BD and i let him help me make his BD dinner (mac and cheese but homemade) he likes to think that everything he is eating is special and wants to know why it's special.....for example....i made tomato soup the other night for dinner...he wanted to know if and why it was special.....i said yes...it has parmesan and mozza cheese on it....so of course he ate the whole bowl and wanted seconds. Kids are a little nuts that way. So anyways this weekend we have Phil, Tina and the kids, maybe Shane and Lori, and nana and papa and our kids here...doesnt seem like a lot but there will be 13 people here if everyone shows. Gotta go....Jade is up now and I have to start a fire in the smoker cooker to make dinner.....from 3-8pm is the busiest time of the day in this house!
Peace out January 31 Quotes to read and live by"Challenges are what make life interesting; overcoming them is what makes life meaningful."
"The problem is not that there are problems. The problem is expecting otherwise and thinking that having problems is a problem."
"We live for the nights we'll never remember with the people we'll never forget."
Anyone can become angry - that is easy. But to be angry with the right person, to the right degree, at the right time, for the right purpose, and in the right way; this is not easy.
"He who angers you conquers you."
"He that always gives way to others will end in having no principles of his own."
"I argue very well. Ask any of my remaining friends. I can win an argument on any topic, against any opponent. People know this, and steer clear of me at parties. Often, as a sign of their great respect, they don't even invite me."
Dave Barry "Silence is one of the hardest arguments to refute."
"It is better to debate a question without settling it than to settle a question without debating it."
While we are focusing on fear, worry, or hate, it is not possible for us to be experiencing happiness, enthusiasm or love.
"Every exit is an entry somewhere."
As soon as you begin to believe in something, then you can no longer see anything else. The truth you believe in and cling to makes you unavailable to hear anything new.
A belief which does not spring from a conviction in the emotions is no belief at all.
"Having children makes you no more a parent than having a piano makes you a pianist."
"Grown-ups never understand anything for themselves, and it is tiresome for children to be always and forever explaining things to them."
"Pick battles big enough to matter, small enough to win."
There is no order in the world around us, we must adapt ourselves to the requirements of chaos instead.
Honest criticism is hard to take, particularly from a relative, a friend, an acquaintance or a stranger.
“Complaining about something without taking any action to correct it is irresponsible. If a condition deserves criticism, it deserves an honest attempt to change it.”
"Human beings are the only creatures on earth that allow their children to come back home."
"A 'sister' is a friend given by Nature."
Forgiveness is love in its most noble form.
Forgiveness does not change the past, but it does enlarge the future.
"A real friend is one who walks in when the rest of the world walks out."
"Don't walk behind me; I may not lead. Don't walk in front of me; I may not follow. Just walk beside me and be my friend."
“No one can make you feel inferior without your consent.”
"It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it."
the test of a first-rate intelligence is the ability to hold two opposed ideas in the mind at the same time, and still retain the ability to function. One should, for example, be able to see that things are hopeless and yet be determined to make them otherwise.
For knowledge itself is power.
Human beings of all societies in all periods of history believe that their ideas on the nature of the real world are the most secure, and that their ideas on religion, ethics and justice are the most enlightened. Like us, they think that final knowledge is at last within reach. Like us, they pity the people in earlier ages for not knowing the true facts. Unfailingly, human beings pity their ancestors for being so ignorant and forget that their descendants will pity them for the same reason.
"Knowledge is of two kinds. We know a subject ourselves, or we know where we can find information upon it."
Learning by experience often is painful- and the more it hurts, the more you learn.
"I hear and I forget. I see and I remember. I do and I understand." confucius
We have done almost everything in pairs(male & female) since Noah, except govern. And the world has suffered for it.
"No one is listening until you make a mistake."
Opinion is that exercise of the human will which helps us to make a decision without information.
Children aren't happy with nothing to ignore,
And that's what parents were created for. "If you want to test your memory, try to recall what you were worrying about one year ago today." Men occasionally stumble over the truth, but most of them pick themselves up and hurry off as if nothing ever happened. January 30 BLINK and it'll be Xmas'07I'll be back and forth writing this blog....doing laundry...keeping the fire going and getting wood, doing dishes (washing-drying-putting away) oh....and watching tv. Today was ok....just have some outside and inside stress that is making me tired. Inside stress....well.....gee.....3 guesses and 2 dont count. Outside...it's not so much stress as it is an act of benevolence that I wish I could impose....yet can't. Jess has gallstones, which is due to stress and her diet. I know HOW to help her....but much like what I had to go thru...she has to do most of it herself. SUCKS ASS but that's the way it goes. (PS...I wouldnt want to control my friends and their actions ...it just sucks watching someone else go thru what I went through , yah know?) I dont think I'm GOD or anything but it bothers me when I can't help people. Dont get me wrong, I realize I cannot save the planet. I just like to think that I can help some.
"A candle loses nothing by lighting another candle."
This year is going to be expensive and fast. We have to move, I have my trip and we have a wedding...the latter 2 wont be THAT expensive....then we have BD's and BD's and then Xmas again! WHew! The move is what I'm worrying about. We'll need a damn SEMI to do the move...and unless you know someone... they aint cheap. I have no problem with the move itself...just the cost and the work......guess that has something to do with the move eh? LOL....what I meant was...I have no problem with the moving arrangements...etc....just the cost and energy/'getty-up-and-go) I'll probably look forward to the move once we find a place....I'm looking forward to the trip and I'm looking forward to the wedding! Lots to look forward to!
Guess I'm just a little pissed off at our 'new' landlord and trying to vent in an ascetic kind of way. Gotta go for a bit....i think i'll start looking up quotes to help my day/week etc go better. Not that it's all bad....just some uplifting stuff and well....some good karma stuff! Peace out! January 26 up againUp again. You'd think I'd be out like a light since Shannon and I were on the phone till 3:30am yesterday morning and I was up at 7:30 getting Trenten ready for school. BUT NOOOOOOO> Oh well. I always have SO much to say in these dang blogs and dont know where to start! (that could be because I dont write as often as I should) And right about now I should be documenting everything our "new landlord" has been doing....but I'll get to that later.
GOOD NEWS!!!!!!!! My BF in da whole wide world is getting married again and this time I'm actually happy for her (sorry honey but last time it was.....well....a crap-shoot.....and besides....I didnt like him)
So...I count this as her first REAL marriage. I get to be maid of honor ~ and I am SO excited. I wish them both the best eventhough that's not necessary coz they both have it. I forsee a lot of nights like last night were we spent about 5 hours on the phone....both on the computer(same pages) and tv(same channel) going thru stuff....too funny! But's that's ok coz apparantly I have a sleeping problem anyway. At the moment I'm still doing laundry and feeding the fire, writing the blog and puttering... I'm a multi-tasker. So with the wedding coming up in August I'll be pretty busy helping....it's all fun stuff though....and I can't think of a better cause for being busy. This weekend should be pretty good too...but I'll write about that later! Realistically I should be in bed since tomorrow is Friday and being tired on a Friday isnt good but I'm just not tired.
Kids are good...health wise anyways. Saje and Jade have their moments...usually at different times so I don't really get the break from "a meltdown". Trenten is good but seems to be ...uh...forgetful to say the least. Papa has been driving him to school in the morning and today picked him up as well which is a big huge help! I get him to do homework everyday after school and he's allowed on the computer to go to eduactional sites that have games......would you believe that in grade 2 this kid can tell you what a noun,verb,adverb (and.....sometimes...what a preposition) is? Crazy!
Jade has been counting to 3 in spanish....thank god for Diego and Dora! Saje...well...he's just.. intelligent...in his own way...very intelligent to say the least. Layne we dont see all the time but seems to be doing good in school. When he is here he's allowed to go on the educational sites as well and does pretty good. Last weekend he was a bit of "attitude" but on Monday (coz he had a PD) he took care of Jade and played with both of the younger ones....had to remove Saje coz of his behavior at one point but Layne and Jade played almost all day. She doesn't get much time.....and sometimes much attention from/with Layne so that was really awesome to see.
Darryl and I are doing good (what else is new?) The weather hasn't helped our financial situation as of late...snow and rain make for poor work days for Darryl. Financial situations dont define us THANKFULLY! It just sucks to have less $$$. This week has been ok for work though...Darryl got 11.5 hours today and 10 yesterday so if the weather holds out, we'll have a better cheque next pay-period. Gonna go finish the last load of laundry for the night....I'll post this and then if I am still awake and still able....I'll post the landlord crap........not so much to be read but to be documented in case I need reference/proof/etc.
Peace out...SLEEP well :-) |
