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:)

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.
