CZ

So CZ was very concerned with his heart flutter things and has gone to emergency...I can't be there as the kids are in bed and going to school tomorrow.  I asked him to text me what's going on hourly if possible.  He isn't going to work tomorrow because of the emergency tonight, as who knows what is the next step.  I must say I feel stressed about this.  I feel it's going to be ok, but have a small part that tries to rear it's head up and say" he's not going to be ok....he's gonna get real sick...he's gonna die."  I can't listen to it.  Even writing it down seems to have given it more presence.  

It will be better, once is figured out it can work towards a better outcome.  

I need to find myself a Dr I was for myself.  I feel a few things not right, but all little...so it seems..I feel like I'm very forgetful, I have noticed myself dropping things alot, I've been extra tired lately, though I have been getting good sleep most days, today I woke up a little off, like dizzy.  It's only slightly noticeable.  As Java tells me I need to take care of myself as I have a family I need to care for.  I can't think of anything else right now.

I am going now, but I hope  this comes to you well:)

September 17/11

Got a migraine today....not fun.  It starts off all lights and snowy but ends up having an achy head on the opposite side of the lights and being sensitive to light.  I know I don't have it as bad as when i first got them, but I don't like going through them.  

Coke Zero is having these heart flutters per se going on lately, so this morning he took it easy before we got our table and chairs we got from Java set up.  I didn't realize how big they were as they fit nicely in Java's house but here I had to take the leaf out so it didn't overwhelm the kitchen.  The table is now round instead of oval...that's ok.  CZ has been trying to find out more about these heart flutters or murmur or whatever they may be called.  He needs to wear a monitor for 24 hours but there's been a lot of shit going on that has been hindering him.  The employee in charge of the heart monitors was out sick and seems there is no one to do their work, so had to wait until she came back.  He was then told the Dr has to submit the requisition form not him.

I am planning to make a fall wreath for the door with felt flowers and go from there.

This is how to make them:

This is the picture of how it can look:

I just have to get to michaels to get the wreath, as at Walmart the one I picked out wouldn't ring in and since their anniversary event was going on they were crazy busy.

I went to see about taking my mom to a walk in optometrist appointment and the one I thought would get us in, wouldn't allow us to see the dr even though before we left during the wait period to get a bite at the food court, and they said sure go, we couldn't.   I was wanting to try and get my mom some glasses from the free glasses event from clearlycontacts.ca but needed her updated prescription.  So I need to make her an appointment for the coming week so we don't go through this again.  I am not going to go to totalfocas again.

I hope to write again soon. :)

Wow, I haven't posted for a year, time sure flies.  I am watching my nephew and niece for a bit of cash.  Mr.Magoo 2, as I call my nephew and Princess, as I will call my niece, are real cute kids.  Mr.Magoo2 has recently started walking so he's a going concern now.  Princess has started Kindergarten in the mornings so I go pick her up for 11ish.   Rootbeer is in grade 3 now and he is liking it so far.  I met his teacher last week and she seems like a new but cool teacher.  I hope she works well for Rootbeer.  Crush is now in grade 5, she has the same teacher as last year so I think that will be good for her as she is having math issues.  She needs to practice her math to she knows the basics really well.  I got her and Rootbeer a math game to help.  I have decided I will be getting them to do their homework after a snack but before supper that seems to give them focus.  I will be getting them to do some math work even if their teachers don't give them any.  

Mr. M2 loves spilling his drink on my floor.  I seem to washing my floor every other day to everyday now.  That's good as it makes the house nicer.  Java is a bit jealous over Mr.m2 wanting me over her, but it's not consistent and he is with me during the majority of his awake day.  

We are going to have our city pass expire right away, it's so awesome, but I guess it's good we don't get it anymore as we are out of the yearly low income tax bracket.  I need to sign the kids up for the last two courses they can have for cheaper courses and then we need to save up for the summer next year.  

I sent the kids kd mac and cheese with cheese in their lunches today.  I hope it was warm and yummy when they got it.  

Well I got to lay Mr.M2 down for a nap, he's crying the sleep cry. :)

New week of life

I have a slight dread of starting a new work week where I am work loaded only.  I would like to get something more in my life, but am unsure as to what that would be.  I am really only living for my family so that is a good enough thing but I need to get my own stuff going on.Juggling all that I can have in life can be just a few things as I fumble and drop more than what I can handle.  Everyone has the same amount of time each day so to utilize my time to be as effective as possible is key I think. 

We should look into tax saving ideas as we jumped into the middle tax bracket and am not keen on giving more money to the government than necessary.  I need to amend CZ's 2009 taxes to get a bigger refund.  I forgot to include something which would give more back. 

We moved some stuff into Java's garage until the flooring is done in the living room.  Got to visit with my nephew and sister for a little while, that was enjoyable. 

I think people are offended

I went on some free online websites that let people post items for sale or wanted ads and posted a wanted ad for jars of pennies.  There are many people who hate pennies and just collect them and then get rid of them eventually.  Why not it be for me...well for my kids?  Anyways, I have gotten some stupid replies from this.  One person saying they had jars and went and rolled them and took them to the bank and got cash for them, when am I coming for them?  Another I got was like I have 14 cents, you have to pick them up though.  (rolls eyes)  Ya ok.  People don't like rolling their pennies, don't like using their pennies, so why not ask?  No skin off my nose if it doesn't come about no one responds. 

Anyways.  I am finding work and life needing some pick me ups, only to find we are not doing so well with only my income right now. CZ will be getting EI soon, but don't know when that will be coming in.  We should see about pawning some stuff we don't use much and see if we can make the ends meet.  Our bills are a bit behind now.

I need to get up earlier tomorrow.  It's almost 2pm and I feel like my day has only started...I got up at 11:30am.  9 am will work.I did get the dishes done, got a load of laundry in, but really need to get the kids and I to make a dent into getting the house together so the flooring can get put in.

Have a great day all:)

all or nothing

I 've missed a couple of months on here eh?  Anyways Crush and Rootbeer have gone back to school.  I've been working full time while Coke Zero is not working.  He's an apprentice and he'll be going to school soon since he was laid off.  CZ is taking the kids to school everyday so that is pretty sweet.  When I get home I get the kids to go get their clothes ready for the next day as well as their lunches and soon homework.  It's been working out good so far.

CZ and I have had our tenth anniversary last month and we got a wonderful present from my dad of flooring for our townhouse.  CZ has been working on the floor mostly while I do the clearing out mostly.  I got to paint the new doors for the kids rooms last night so I enjoyed that a lot. They were a bleak yellow and now they are a brilliant white. Wonderful.  Painting is relaxing to me.

I woke up so stiff I took a hot bath right out of bed.  I am not a bath person at all, but that was sooooo helpful.  It just loosened up everything.  Marvelous!   Went to Costco for a few items and discovered my hubby's prescription was $15 cheaper there!  What a difference!  So I transferred everything of his over there. 


I should get off of here and go work on something.  The living room needs to get emptyed so I'll go do that....CZ gives me the impression I can do stuff when it's time...like the carpet needs to come up, but I don't think CZ would like to see me take it up and get it out of the house...but maybe I'm projecting that.  I should just ask him right? 

So my weight loss journey has taken a turn to oblivious street.  I haven't been doing any of the tracking I should do and so I just know that I'm eating too much of the wrong foods and I have gained some back.  I should go and weight myself just to see where I'm at.  Anyways.  Talk to you soon:)
