Ya it's Friday!

CZ and I are going to Boonstock in Gibbons tonight.  Mathew Good Band, etc will be on and we'll see how it turns out.  CZ got free tickets from a co-worker so that is why we are going.  RootBeer and Crush are finished school next week on Tuesday so I booked off those days too.  I am working two days next week.  It looks like we are going to try to go camping too.  CZ doesn't work the 1st as it's a holiday, so we can go out on Canada Day.  We haven't gone camping in a couple of years so it will be a treat if the weather stays nice.  We got ourselves a two room tent we got from costco from their old stock for like $80 so that was a great deal.  it's still in the box.  We should look into a bbq that we can take on the trip too in case of fire bans.  A fire is awesome while camping though. 

We are going to be kids free tonight, that is sweet!  Java will have Crush and Sudzie will have Rootbeer.  I'm looking forward to it.  Have a great night everyone!

It's Father's Day!

I should call my Dad and wish him a happy father's day.  I will do so after I write.  Coke Zero wants  to sleep for a while longer then wants french toast for breakfast.  Don't know what time though.  I'll make the f.toast in an hour or so.  I do feel a bit jealous though, on Mother's day he treated it like any other day for me.  The kids did their thing, but he didn't do anything.  I feel like doing the same thing, but I won't.

So I found all the accessories for the camera and Coke Zero (CZ) charged up the camera.  Yaaaa!  I can get pictures of life again:)  Maybe I'll get some on here....

The family and I went to an event thru my mother in law's work where we had a carnival type thing go on.  It was real fun.  The kids really enjoyed it.  I went and collected a whole bunch of cans and bottles for the kids for money for them....CZ said he was embarrassed...but he doesn't keep the cans etc from his lunch that we buy so I wanted to.  They were going in the garbage.

I have an idea for the kids, I am going to post a wanted ad for pennies on freecycle, earthcycle, craigslist, buysell and kijiji and see what happens...I mean a lot of people hate pennies, I could see some people responding.  I only want big collections of them though...as I will have to go pick them up and a little won't be worth the drive to get them.  I could see it being successful.

Have a wonderful day!

I called in today

I was feeling dizzy and nauseous when I first woke up so I called in.  I fell a bit worried about it, but really I need to put that aside as whatever.  Then my dad called to let me know he was in town from his trip to Ontario so I went out with him.  I got to see my nephew today and he's too cute.  First Dad and I went for lunch and then to Walmart to see what stuff was there.  I got Coke Zero some clothes from the kids for Father's day and a couple of shirts for Java...I never got her a birthday present, so I finally got her something.  She's in that transitional stage where she'll be losing her baby weight and getting back into her regular clothes.

Coke Zero's 32 birthday:)

He's turning 32 and he had to work today.  Too bad for him.  I had to stay home from work today as Crush was sick with the flu last night and recovering today.  So I did some organizing and I am not done yet but have put a real dent in some stuff.  I am happy about that.  Coke Zero wanted burger and poutine for his birthday supper so that is what I'll get him.  I will get the kids and I something too...figure that out when I go get stuff.  I also got him a Dairy Queen cake so I hope that he'll enjoy everything.:)

School is going to be done so soon.  I have got to see if I will be taking a couple of weeks off for the kids in August or what will be going on. 

???

I am being so counter productive with my eating.  Too much junk is what I am putting into my body.  I have licorice, cheezies,  ice cream with chocolate...and this is only today.  I know what the general way I need to live, but doing it is such a blank for me.  I need to plan it and do it.  It would be so nice if I could lose weight with Coke Zero or Java or all of us together, that would be helpful.  I know Java will be joining Weight watchers again, or follow the program completely because it works for her.


Coke Zero's birthday is tomorrow and he picked out a stereo for his truck which we picked up yesterday which he installed already.  I think we'll pick up a DQ cake for his birthday...I go his card already.  I should have booked off tomorrow to get a few things together but maybe I can arrange to get off work a bit early.  I hope so anyways.


I have some ribs that I want to bbq tonight.  I have never grilled them before, so I hope it turns out great.  My kids better try them, they can be too picky about food.  I'll bake up some potatoes and veggies to go with them.  They should be yummy.

Sunday, Sunday

What a gorgeous day today will be.  It's going to be 27C....my place will heat up and not cool down until tonight, so sleeping will be a challenge but this weather will be great.  I need to remember to keep the kids sun protected, I didn't put sunscreen on Rootbeer and his shoulders are a bit burnt today.  I am sorry for that. 

I have been wanting to get an acreage for the last little while, but since visiting my dad last weekend, a bug has been in my ear about it more.  I would love to get this place we're at all fixed up and sell it for as much as we can get for it.  That would be sweet, and try to get a place within a half hour of the city would be ideal.  I want to get my kids out of this area we live in and get them some space.  To actually get that done will take some planning but I hope we can go for it soon...I don't know though, it just seems like a dream.

I want to go and visit my nephew and my sister, niece and my mom.  They live here in the city but I don't go as I want.  He's going to be a month old soon and I'll have missed the in between.  I want to be more involved with my sister's life and the lives of my niece and nephew.  She called me yesterday and we chatted mostly about weight watchers.  She used it to get her weight down before she got pregnant again.  She is going to follow the program to do it again, and we can encourage each other to live in a healthy way, lose weight on the way. :)

I love the blog.  It's so awesome.  I hope it's beautiful today where you are:)

getting there

Yaa...two entries today...


So Coke Zero's Birthday is coming up next week and he has finally decided what he wants for his birthday...you see he had no clue as to what he wanted.   He wants to get and install a stereo system in his truck.  The stereo will be the easy part.  The install kit that goes in the dash is the more challenging thing as they are hard to find for this vehicle...for some reason.   

My dad is in Ontario for a family reunion and called today.   I got to talk to one of my cousins which I haven't heard from in like 18 years.  She has a facebook page, only I can't find it through the search engine...I tried to find her through her email address too but it also didn't work.  I shall find out how that'll come about soon. 

What's up?

My tracking has been falling to the wayside with everything.  I am tracking my food, my spent money and my blog, and I've been missing these things.  I will be getting these on track but I would like get them a part of my life sooner than later.    I'm taking Rootbeer and Crush to their last clay class for this session and then I will have to look into their summer activities for August and get those arranged.  I only have a two week period where they have to get some more stuff planned so it's pretty good.  I'm contemplating just taking those two weeks off and have them just hang out at home for some fun, but I will talk to Coke Zero and see what he says about the finances...he could be in school for his apprenticeship so that may not work. 

Anyways, I want to get my day started so I shall go.  Have a great day all:)

I'm not satisfied

I want to find a job more satisfying.  I probably won't, as this one has the hours I want, but I am not finding my position all that great.  I am bored with it, that's why I liked moving to the late night as I was able to have more responsibility.    I wouldn't mind going to work for the bank again as a teller, but I don't know if that could happen with the right hours.  I could look into it.

I have a lot of housework that needs to be done, plus getting my kids to do their homework so I need to go.  I want to write on here as much as possible.

I called in to work

So Crush is a bit sick.  She's been coughing a lot and she's having pain when she pees so I figure her immunity is down some...she been having recurring pain with peeing so I'm taking her to the medicentre to see what the doctor says.  The kids have an appointment with their pediatrician on Monday but whatever, that is a check up.

I can go to a weigh in today if I get there at the right time.  I don't want to see what I've gained...but really jump back on and get the horse moving....that weight loss horse...

Well, thanks for reading my blog, I'll be gone for the weekend to my dad's so everyone have a wonderful weekend:)

That was fast:)

I got set up with direct deposit for my pay and it was in my account for my first cheque...SWEET!  I love direct deposit....it's so convenient.    So I am tracking my food and my spent moolah so I can try and get a hold of theses things.  Our spending has been so all over the place that we should be able to have more in savings or something, but there is almost zip saved...if we had a big emergency we would be screwed.    Coke Zero may be getting laid off in the next few weeks so when that happens he can take his second year schooling and then continue getting hours after.  He will be getting his grant for his first year soon, so that will pay for the schooling...

So yesterday I lost track of time and then Coke Zero got home and I had no supper ready...so I was going to get something out for him.  As we switched the vehicles cause I can sometimes get the parking space in front of the house on the street...there was this little girl skipping down the sidewalk by herself.  She looked like she was only 4 or so...not old enough to be by herself in our society at all.  I saw people nearby and asked them if she was hers, but no...so I called the police to see what to do...they asked me to ask her about if she knew where she lived...etc...so I had to go ask her...she had gone to the park to play on the playground, but then left going the waqy she came, so I turned my car around and stopped near her to ask her if she knew where she lived.  She Just kinda mumbled and then seemed to hang expecting me to something.  I asked her where her mommy was...anyways she didn't answer loud enough for me to hear anything she said so I called the police again and this time I hung out on the phone with the dispatch officer kinda following this little girl so the police could find her to take her home or something.  I think the girl got a bit freaked out cause she noticed me driving slow and then she took off up a hill into a park...anyways I hung out on the phone for 15 minutes until a cruiser was able to show up, by the time they got there, she had moved away from the street and I couldn't see her...but the officers who came to check this out called me back and told me they had found her and they were going to take her home.  I don't know anything else about what happened but I hope her mom was freaked out her girl took off and that the police brought her home enough to keep watch and somehow keep her at home so she doesn't wander off.With all the awful stuff to go on in this world we need to help as we can...I felt while doing this no good deed goes unpunished but really I wouldn't want anything to happen to any little kid if there is something I can to to help.  So my husband had to wait extra for his food...but if I had just made something at home, I wouldn't have seen the little girl...

It's June!

How is it that half the year is almost gone?  Have you accomplished a few of thing s you would like?  I have been wavering about my weight loss journey, I have found myself just eating whatever and I can tell I am gaining.  So I will keep tracking myself and try to eat within my points.  I would love to get into a a size 12 this fall.  I think it may be doable.  I guess I need to keep up myself and just continue to be aware of my intake.  It's a balance.

So I have wanted a vending business for a long time.  I occasionally check on the commercial real estate listings what is for sale and at present some one is selling their vending business...17 machines for 15K.  Doesn't matter though, I have to get my life in order before I can even try selling it to my husband...I really should move on....I usually do eventually.

My family and I are going out to visit my dad this weekend, he is about 2 hours away.  I should go visit my mom too...she had a stroke and not getting out as much as I am sure she wants...I feel guilty about not getting to see her more often.

I haven't seen my new nephew since he was born last week either.  I would like to see how he has grown since last week...
