The Story Goes..

I called my Sister in the morning.....
so arre you picking up Charlotte from school today?
Why was i supposed to?
no. I had a dream that you did and then when I woke up it seemed like A plan so I thought i'd call and see if you had the same dream.
Ummm. Yah.... that actaully seems cool. Let me call you back and let you know.
Okay. Call me at work cause I am almost there and I can't answer my cell.
Okay.

So the day goes.
BM gives me the message taht my Sister called and its all a Go!
I call the school./
Talk to ..Not the Seceratary..but leave a detailed message for Charlotte --------- in Mrs. -------class that her Auntie Missy is Picking her up. Meet her at the flagpole.
The I call her daycare and let M---A-- Know and she is all good with it.
Well my after work comes.
I call Sister. Yes she has Charlotte but it was wierd at the school. charlotte was Not at the flagpole. she went into the office. Now the secretary was there. Commented on how SHE never got Any Message about Charlotte. My Sister said well maybe I'll just call my sister to make sure this is what the plan is,........No its okay, says the secretary, we'll just page charlotte and she'll be right here.

Nobody called me???
Uhh.

AREN'T THOSE SUPPOSED TO BE RED FLAGS!!!

Meanwhile..........(back at the Hut)......Charlotte has met up with her M.A."s Daughter and is ready to go!
M.A. says...No no. your Aunt is getting you. Don't you know........insert excitement and kaos here...... seconds into that the page goes off.
Charlotte is on her way to the Office. M.A. Is close behind. (thank God)
..........
Meanwhile, my sister is opening up her wallet and hoping she has ID cause don't they want to knw anything?

nope.

So in a Nutshell.
I had my bases covered. (thank god again)
The school....not so much...
my sister walked in said she was picking up cHarlotte. They paged her. And she came. And away they both went.
the principals response....I know she regretssaying this now was....well if she didn't know her we wouldn't have let her go.....

My response.....
I just fired a daycare Girl that Charlotte would be very happy to see and wander off with!!!

Are you Fucking NEW!

This coming on the heels of the numerous letters home to parents that if you are a visitor to the school you Must sign in. Yet, the Fat secretary does nothing to enforce it!,.
She see';s me wander in all the time and says nothing.....Enforce the Rule!


WAsn't ther a red Flag when someone is looking for a random child???
Just say, hey, wait a minute. Let me make a call.
and Frig! my sister offered!~!!!

Did i get it all?
I am still so pissed by it and so is M.A.....(i will now refer to her as Ginger). She was so Pissed as well. She sooo Validated my feelings. Her and her Husband very much disapointed and disturbed by the system. They, themselves just taking in Foster Kids and so get the details. The security of knowing where your kids are.

If a link is brken or weak.....
Why would you call????
All it would have taken is a call.....

so that my story.
Maybe i am a freak. but whatever.


Think for a moment

you leave you child with a HUg and a kiss in the morning and someone They know....picks them up from school......you NEVER see them again.
Do you remeber what they were wearing?
Its a reality.

Oh Yes I Have ENGRAINED in Charlotte that she Must call me if her Pick up end changes.......but she is a kid.....she is nearly 9...she is a moron. I wish she wans't and clearly my yelling voice needs to be much louder and more forceful.

I need to go now as Mountian has shown up with Tea..........

Did I miss anytjhng?
I hope Not. but maybe,.
I don't llike it. but at least I have some good Ginger Back-up!

This Does Not sit Well With Me

So all it takes is for someone to Page my daughter at her school....
And they can take her home.

Being Considerate

So at Charlottes school the parking this year has become a Super Gong show!
The city has put bike-lanes in. which is fine. Only they have announced to the world you can't park in them.
Well its only a drop-off drive-thru parking lot. so most parents, including myself park on the street.
only now you are not allowed. Cuz apparently, parking in a bike lane is illegal. (I do anyway)
Other parents, that have the time in their days park a couple blocks away at the local IGA and walk up.
Yesterday was my early day off.
And boy was I off early. I'm still bitter. I hate it when its that slow.
So I got to be one of those parents that got a little extra excercise. I parked at the store. Afterall, I had to do my weekly milk, eggs, butter shop anyhow so it was perfect!
Well I walked out of the school and the 'drop-off pick-up' zone was packed with waiting parents. This never mades sense to me. There are a lot of daycares that do pick-up at that school. In my opinion it should only be them Stopped in that zone. But anyhow.....
I walked down the line of cars that had pulled themselves into the pick-up lane.
On the other side of that is a simple drive thru so you can of course get out of the lot. like a horseshoe....kinda.....
anyhow......at the very end of this line of parked cars is a woman in her white sedan. She's edged her car in so that she can get into the 'parking' lane. Only she's got a good 4-6 feet (depending on how she angled her car) in front of her still and her ass end has blocked the other pull thru lane.
I observed this and kept wlaking down. Noticing the anxious and annoyed parents in the vehicles behind her. I counted 14 and they were still coming.
So I walked back to this ladies open car window and asked her if she realized this was what was happening behind her?
Her answer......Where would you like me to go?
Pull up. If you pulled up that would give the cars behind you just enough space to get by. Or maybe just pull straight thru!
Now I know I got pretty bold, and I know she'll never forget me, but I jsut figured, whatever.
Sometimes ignorance is bliss. sometiems its just ignorance.
I'd probably be pissed too, till I realized what a dumkoff I was being. than I'd be mad from embarassment.
She already had one kid in the car. Go park illegally on the road! Frig. Do you really think what you are doing in the parking lot is any better?!! Inconveniencing all the people behind you. And its just as illegal as the road deal!!
She had a lot to say to me. I was very brief and said my 2 sentences and then walked away. I could hear her yelling.
All the parents as i passed the cars were giving me the thumbs up.

sometimes driving, is not about what is in front of you, as much as its what is going on behind you.

my Basket is Full

its so nice to have my little family togehter.
Mountain is home!
Both Charlotte and I feel warm fuzzies about it.
He had a wonderful time. Brought gifts for both of us. We sat up the first night he got home and he showed me all the pics on his camera. The video's
Its funny how much alike he and his Sister are. Not only by looks.
Not only is she 13 years older than he is. They only just found each other a couple years ago! She was adopted out in England when she was first born. So its really neat they have anything in common at all!
I am just glad to have him home.
Glad to be missed and needed by him.
Glad that I missed and need him.
For some reason, that makes me feel content.

DUVET COVERS R STUPID!!!!

FRIGGIN. They are obviously meant for people that don't wash their bedding. Or maybe don't own a Really Hairy white Cat!
I can't stand the putting on and taking off chore.
Oh Yes I know the "easy" way to do it.
ITS STILL A PAIN IN MY ASS!
I have been on the look-out for a bed-in-a-bag to fall in love with. I will now be actively searching, planning, scheming and budgeting for one.

Stupid Duvet cover........

Green Tea and Popcorn

that is my diet these days.
I think I may have finally devolped my better habits. Or rather they are still in the works. The habits I used to have when i was able to say 'no' to food.
I'm not hungry when I eat. I am just eating for the sheer pleasure of it.
so its the mind-set that I have been struggling with for many months now.
I sure hpe I';ve made it.
So green Tea I suck back like there will never be Green tea again. (gotta keep my mouth busy) And popcorn to trick me into thinking I've had a great treat!
So far so good.
Throw the gym in there too and I am gonna get this wieght off DAmn It!!
I keep doing the self talk that I like myself. And I look fine and Mountain thiks I look great. But in reality, I don't feel fine. I feel uncomfortable in my own skin. It feels all stretched out and jiggly. But I will keep on the positive self talk cause if this doens't go away. Even if I work really hard at it.......depression could be the next step. And who the Hell wants that!
I wonder if I can keep the boobs............
So December is my goal. That was when i first noticed the few unwanted pounds that seemed to attached themselves to my body so willingly.
the first 4 are down....I only have 9 more to go!!!
the Pinks were great for lala land and the whole whatever state of mind i had.

Mountain is home tomorrow!!
Charlotte and I pick him up at the airport tomorrow at noon.
I am so excited! 2 weeks went by nice and fast.

Shallow

I had a customer come in the other day that has apparently been looking for me.

Mel.
Anyone that i used to work with remember him?
Well he found me a few months ago and has found himself single so now he's back.
This is a shallow man.
I mean I always knew he was shallow, but it wasn't till jsut the other day after our conversation was it that i realized how incredibly shallow he truly is.
Now I am not too sure what he thinks of me, but he wasn't just in for lunch I'll tell you that much.
I talked about Mountain right away of course.
than I asked him why he and his last girlfriend broke up.
she wanted to get married. I'd say after the years they spent togehter I would think that too.
But he didn't want to.
So now he is on the prowl.
No this man has got to be over 50 and its not like he is a major prize himself. Yet this is what he expects out or a woman and will not settle for less.
-must be under 35
-no kids
-thin, and if she;s not as thin as he wants her to be she needs to be willing to go to the gym.
-beautiful
-has to have a good job or come from lots of money
his last lady was a very pretty girl. Simple pretty. And young. I wondered how all that had taken place. He shipped her in from another country overseas seems to me.
He wants the trophy girl. I don't know whether to be flattered or insulted that he came to me.
I also don't understand. I am over 35 have the kid infliction and definantly No money....so WTF!
Didn't I just date your Twin? Mr. Big?
Sorry Buddy. This Trophy has been Won!!!
Found the Mountain of my dreams.
Accepted for who i am and all that I can be no matter what!
that is the best feeling in the world

Missing Mountain

Well my mountain is in Paris right now.
i have been missing him. But its okay cause i know he is returning and loves me so i can deal with it.
We were MSNing on the weekend.
he staying up till all hours to get online with me. I Love This Internet Thing!!!
However......
that is no replacement for the physical.
4 more dayz!!!
So glad my Sister is taking Charlotte for the night Saturday.
Don't bother calling.
My phone will be off the Hook

Oldhouse troubles

My old land people are gving me a little hassle.
what was it? something like 4 weeks I was packed and out of that place! I will say it was cleaner than when I moved in.
I left my washer behind, a vacuum, a behind the toilet shelf in the basement, a carpet in the basement, the fence, most of the big plants in my garden and a swing=set.
The land-inlaws have called to tell me I have to remove the swingset.
I got the call this weekend.
Last week it was all the stuff that was still in the carport. I called my Father-in-law right away and we removed it the next day....last Tuesday. Not a problem. i forsaw that problem and already had made arrangements before Mountain left.

I told her I am sorry, but I am not removing it. I have no plans to remove it. i told the realtor it was staying and if that was a problem I should have been notified a month ago. The new owners will get to keep it! she told me I Have to remove it.
No I am sorry. I've been gone from there for weeks now. Not my responsiblity since the first of Sept. I should have been told about this last week shen she called about the other stuff. I am not removing it!

You know.....when we went back to clean the place and Tobi came to help. That being my last day with my friend before she went back to Montreal-Mountain even cut the front and the back lawn so we left it looking neat and tidy.
I steamcleaned the carpets myself!
pulled out all the appliances and scrubbed underneath them (something that was NEVER done when I moved in) Charlotte washed windows....not very well....but at least she did it.
It wasn't Kristi clean....but it was ok.
Now she has said nothing about the broken blind in the master bedroom or the livingroom. But she will complain about the swing-set.
So I told her maybe while I'm at it I'll take the fence out too! (yes it was a childish comment)
silence.
The fence is mine as well, but I don't see you complaining about that!
(Maybe I'll take out the new faucets in the bathroom and all the fixtures upstairs.)
So no, I have not gotten my damage deposit back yet and now i just don't know if I will. Quite frankly I am tired of continually going back there on the days I have time!
I have a new home I am trying to put togheter.
The old owners left stuff here that I had to deal with! Frig!
I didn't leave a carport or house full of crap like she did on the other side. I didhn't leave big holes in the garden from where I dug stuff up. I repainted in the house where it needed it. I replaced other broken blinds over the 5 years I was there. I replaced the taps in the bathroom and fixed the toilet umpteen times.
Lets not forget when I had to change ALL my banking information because the landpeople got broken into and it was on my bill that I had to do it. Or that the roof leaked all over my computer and my books and there was damage done.
But I do remember that Charley and I had a home for 5 years with a yard for her to play in and a Big house for very cheap.
So I will say nothing about the damage deposit and just hope for the best. If I get it back Great! CAuse I could sure use that money. If I don't......Oh well.
It was 5 years lost ago. so its not like I am missing it now. And if they do have to remove the swing-set that does suck and I feel bad for them. Cause thats why I am not doing it! So I guess 3oobux for the house that Charlotte got to grow up in isn't so bad.
We are on to the next phase of our lives.
I jsut want to say goodbye to that one and not have it call me anymore.
Forward March!

Huh

Its wierd to look at the next few months in a series of weekends isn't it

But thats how I see it. Not as if I can do much in the evenings after work. More than I could when I worked for the Phone people, but still not much.

so we had this cook at work.
He started with up as an apprentice way back in April. He was a dink.
Whatever. He'd ask me for a drink in the middle of lunch. He would come peak out the front curtains and interupt me with customers.
He'd muscle his way into conversations I'd be having with my front staff. He'd attempt to take control of the kitchen. Not only was he not good at his job anyhow.....but it was certainly not his place to do so. When Boss Mitch would be gone he would treat Circle-Skirt like shit. He would purposely take longer plating my dishes. He would talk to me and others in a very demeaning abusive way. Oh my goodness; the dish area. I don't know why he felt he owned it....but he did. the list could go on.
He and I did Not get along.
Cause of course I wouldn't let him treat me like that.
So he stopped making my lunch food when I would order it till he felt like it.
We were moving and going thru all that stuff at the same time.
I was of course so excited about my move why wouldn't he be excited about his!
So back in the beginning of August end of July, when we were still speaking when he was having good days.....I bounced into the kitchen and asked him if he'd gotten the keys to his New place yet. How exciting it all is Don't ya think? No answer. So I thought ok. I guess today isn't a good day and started to walk past him out of the kitchen. He turns looks at me and snaps back. 'does it matter!'
Wow! No I guess it doesn't.
That was it. I resigned myself to just do my job and not talk to him about anyhting personal Ever again.
It was uncomfortable at work cause you just never knew how he was gonna be that day. Mitch has been frantically trying to hire more kitchen staff cause he could see the problems this guy was creating. But staff is hard to come by.
I mean. I don't always agree with the things Boss M does, and he is young and all. but he has Never been verbally abusive to me or any of the staff! He is not an all out Dink!
When he first started I only had to endure a couple hours over lunch with him cuz of course I had the Circle-Skirt for the day. She was great and we got along famously. than she left for one of the reasons being Dink Kyle.
WEll it got to the point that when BM would go get stuff done in the afternoons He would take forever just even making my food let alone I would watch him as he would plate it and do 1 thing at a time and.........Grrrrrr.
He put his 2 weeks in! YaY!!
HIs last day was supposed to be this Friday coming.
But since he is such an absolute Dink.......
He stopped calling me for my food last week. So that means I wouldn't be out on the floor for a busy lunch and have to keep going back to check if my food was up.
we only had 3 days together last week. How hard could that be Guy?!!! WE don't have to like each other, but just do your job!
He wasn't so much down with that.
By Friday.....it was a fucking nightmare!
I had a simple lunch dish take 35 minutes!!!
He refused to make alfredo sauce. We have a new woman back there. She started a couple weeks ago. She wasn't putting up with any of his shit. Voices are being raised. I am cringing out front knowing there is not a damn thing I could do. She is pissed with his attitude and won't put up with it as he orders her around. She calls him an Asshole!
When I did go back he asked me for a glass of water. I said to him i see you are plating my food I'll get it for you after your done. He stops what he is doing and refuses to do anymore till he gets his glass of water from me. I turn and look at my girl standing behind me, she starts to go get it for him. He bellows out, No I want it from Her!!!
I tell you......it took all the strenght I had to not say anything and not throw it in his face.
He looks at me again and says ca't you see I'm cooking here?!!
I answer back.....No. That would be the problem. You appear to not be doing anything!
Mitch was out picking stuff up and getting banking done.
I made a second call to him. You need to be here now. I am sorry. but its gotten really, really bad.
The kitchen had pretty much come to a halt.
My tummy is so sick by this time.......
I am seriously aftraid to even be in the kitchen now cause I believe he is going to hurl a knife at me. The day before, i was behind him and said 'behind' as we do and like your supposed to, he moved back on purpose, and stepped on me! And get this. I was the one that said sorry!!!
So BM gets back. He's not even been gone an hour.
Dink Kyle walks out!
But not before blaming me for Everything.
I had stayed out the kitchen as much as possible so it wasn't till he left that I hear new Lady cook telling BM that Kyle was outside 3 times! A bill would come in and instead of getting started on it he would walk out the back door! So she would get it started and he would come in, shove her out of the way and take it off the heat whatever it was.
He wouldn;'t let her plate any of the orders or make them! Just to set up the plate with garnish!!!
(This was all confirmed by the camera's later in the afternoon)

So BM called him and said don't come back. A walk-out constitutes resignation. He left it on a message cuz of course Dink Kyle was not picking up his phone.
so it was nice for BM cuz he didn't even have to be the bad guy. He was just following procedures then and Kyle did it to himself.
Guess who showed up at 5 to start the dinner.....Dink Kyle!
Funny thing about that is that he wasn't even on a split!
He'd gotten the message.....jsut had to come and be in evryones face cuz thats the kind of special guy he is

Boss DAnielle went and got all my stuff for me and i snuck out the front door. Cause yes, it is that bad.
Yes bad enough that I feel the need to watch over my shoulder when I walk to work. Bad enough that I wouldn't put it past him to hit me with his truck.
No he has never said anything to the effect. I would have been on the Uttering Threats road right away!
But bad enough that my employers are concerned as well.

Anyhow.....there is more to this story. But I need to get my ass in gear to work!

And where did he give his notice to be going to you ask???

Earls here in town.

A guy that only sees the ME in TEAM is going to a place that is all about ALL the letters.

I do hope the best for him and that he learned from this. But BM doubts it.

Chatted with Mountain tonight.
i can't wait till he gets home next saturday.
i hope sister has Charlotte till at least lunch time Sunday.

no Light

My livingroom lamp was the only fatality when I moved.
I'm glad it was just a lamp. a Replaceable lamp.
and for now it looks really pretty in my house in the evenings. I sit in my LR with all my candles lit. Everything twinkling. However.....I can really see this being an issue. Especially as the nights get longer. buy a new one you say.
Yes!
I would love to. But the one I want I can't afford right this moment and I refuse to bring anymore unuseable stuff into this house!
So here I sit, twinkling lights all around. Romance every night in my LR. sister came over last night..........
Oh a Funny Story!
Sister wants to be the scariest house on her street for Halloween.
So she has bee spending ridiculous amounts of Mastercard money.
Yesterday she picked up a Fog Machine.
Now Sister works in a Mall. but she had to try the machine. Well to make sure it worked of course!
Shortly after herself and her staff saw how it worked.........the fire alarm for the mall went off. She of course called down to Mall security to let them know it was her Fog Machine excitement. They misunderstood her sarcasm and humour. 3 Fully geared Firefighters showed up to save them all.
Of course they asked to speak to the manager...........my Sister stepped forward Smoke billowing out from behind her.
It was the excitement of her new toys! she couldn't help it.
The Fog Macnine works good.
Her house will be scary.
The other day she showed up at my work cause she had a scary, creepy life sized gremlin type guy with glowy red eyes in the passengers seat of her car.
Life is fun isn't it?

Happy Friday All!

do you ever feel like you just don't want to blog anymore?

I love it but I struggle with it all at the same time

The Internet....Ain't it Grand!

I love this internet!

I got a mail from Mountain. He misses me too!

Awe!

He is going to try to be on his Sis's PC tomorrow afternoon, for him, so then it is at 7AM for me so we can Chat!

How great is that?!!

I miss him. He is having a great time. He's getting to know the sister he never grew up knowing he had. Says they have a lot in common. I Love It! He is finding his connections!

Here they are just after they got to England and met.

How great is this Internet?! Its like I was already there!!

I really like not being medicated.

Now to jsut get more onto a Green Tea and popcorn kick again.

My cat is getting old. He is 17. In the last while he has gotten very thin. He is still happy and can jump up on counters and my bed and stuff. I just wonder how long he will be around for.
His hair is falling out in clumps, I think the wart on his chin has gotten bigger, now since moving here, he's gotten fleas. Frig.

I have too many pictures to hang on my walls. Man I have a lot of framed pictures of Charlotte. My hallway down to the bathroom is going to be littered with them All!

I need to get a nice shot of Mountain and I. I miss him. i'm sure he is having a blast! Off to Paris this weekend I think. I had his dad for dinner Tuesday evening cuz he helped me get the rest of the stuff that no-one picked up out of my old car-port. Yah thats right I still had stuff there. And I am still going thru things here to get rid of. Mostly clothes now.
Yes Steph I will be going thru baby clothes soon enough and Yes you get first pick!

I can't wait till Christmas. How fun will it be decorating this little house! I wonder if I will have enough gumption to get lights up....hmmmm.

Haloween is coming. My sister has a goal to be the scariest house on her block!
Charlotte has decided she wants to be a vampire. Thats fun. I thik i will be one too!
Well its Past time to get my act togehter. Better run!

*sigh*

He's off to England.

A kiss and a hug and he got on a plane. Not to be seen in person by my eyes for 2 weeks!

HIs mommy is wonderful. We had a most fantastic visit.

But I am tired now.
Gonna try to get to the gym in the morning. I think I am organized enough now with the house and groceries and such. Don't need that hour for me in the AM tomorrow.....I don't think.
In any event. I stopped going to the gym half-way thru July cause I needed every spare moment to pack and clean and move. WEll now thats done!
So back I go!
Hopefully nothing comes up in the morning.
Working out will help keep my mind off Mountain and the fact that I can't just pick up the phone 2 times a day and chat or see him a few times this week.

Charley has announced she already misses him!

I'll get lots done in the evenings though without him around pre-occupying my time. I still have lots to get done in this house so's I stop tripping over things.
i will keep busy.
Write him lots of e-mails......
I'll miss him tomorrow after a good nights sleep.

Blog On Dudes!

Who's idea was all this anyhow!

School

Charlottes class was decided yesterday.

It has been all split up and she has new cifferent kids and 2 teachers! I am so excited. She ate lunch with a group of girls! YaY!!
Way better than the day before when I was wiping up her tears cause the girls she calls friends ran away from her at lunch in different directions to get away from her. So heartbreaking for a mom to hear that. So she sat alone outside.
Than yesterday she came home and a boy that goes to her school, that got moved into the same class as her, and only lives just a couple houses down......Was waiting to ride bikes with her!!!!
You have no idea how wonderful that it and how fantastic that makes me feel.
I prayed. I prayed hard. And my prayers were answered yesterday. I hope they continue to be answered today.

its mountains Birthday today.
He picks his mommy up from the airport. I meet her tomorrow. yikes! I guess I should make him a cake?

Blog On

What do I do about.....

.....Mountain and his need to 'hang' out with his ex so he can be around her daughter???

I am so super pissed about it!
and I reminded myself this monring how pissed I am about this thing.
I am at a loss of what to do.
Do I break up with him over it?
Seems dumb to do such a thing. However, I feel as though i have compromised as far as I can.
Last saturday.....when he did 'the shop' with Tea; the ex went along. Then He drove them all the way from White Rock to Chilliwack and didn't get home till close to midnight!
Last I checked.....the malls close at 6!
We have not talked about it since I, as he said, got bent over it last Sunday monring.
Bent! Bent! Yah! I am a pretzel you Idiot!
No hanging with the Ex.
No dinner with the Ex.
No driving the Ex around.
No hanging with the Exes family.
No matter how I try to ignore it or justify it or talk my way around it......It pisses me off!
and if he has to play with the Ex and her family in order to stay in thei little girls life.....than maybe he shouldn't be there. Or maybe he should be there all the way!
he says no. He's says this is where he wants to be.
So when is it that my feelings get taken into consideration?

How do I handle this?
Seriously.
i am at a loss for what to do.

He is leaving for England in a few days. Our last time alone together will be tonight as long as he doesn't go spend time with his..blankity, blank, blank friend Robbi cause its her birthday today!

I think I am a little bitter today.
I need to get over that.

I will concentrate on Charlotte that she has a good day today and that her 'friends' include her in their play at lunch.
Poor little thing.
I friggin hate school

this Weekend

I meet Mrs. Mountain this weekend.
Mountains birthday is Friday. He will be picking up his mommy from the airport.
I will be meeting her Saturday. Yikes!
She has a kidney something and can't eat anything with salt or potassium.....Frig!
What am I gonna make for dinner?
I bought Mountain cologne a few weeks ago and now I'm thinking....Meh. What do i get him?
Carp!
Than Sunday....the plan is that I drive Mountain and Mrs. Mountain to the airport so that they can Fly off to England and Paris together for 2 weeks.
He will have a great vacation. I will miss him

Grade 4!

I just can't belive it.
She will be Nine this November.
She is soo excited for tomorrow.
Perfect!
Had great first day at piano too.

Oh My Head

Shortly after 2 my first beer was consumed.
my mom showed up.
than another beer.
than I switched to wine.
It gets to be a bit blurry with faces and people in and out. Some pulling up a chair while others just came through to check out the new digs.
I sucked my wine back real fast cause Miss Karen brought this really cool Pink Bubbly and I had to try it.........it got very spotty then.
I know we ate.
There was cake.
My neice throwing up and spending the night.
I sat on my kitchen floor for awhile with chips and dip admiring MY house. Just taking it all in. Mine. I bought it and everything in it. By myself! the furniture I bought 10 years ago. Brand new. A few grande saved and spent. The kitchen furniture that was my grandparents........I stripped and sanded and loved till it was re-finished the gorgeous natural wood it is. Maple I think or maybe Pine.
outside....this yard that I have already sweated in and made a mark that says "Kristi lives here"
This is mine. My house. And Nobody can tell me to leave!

However....today.....most nauteous and not feeling altogether the best.
It is entirely possible I had WAAAAY to much grown-up drinks last night. So today.....we did NOTHING!
how great is that?
I didn't pack or unpack, move furniture, stack things on top of things, dig, drive, pick-up stuff. I didn't spend any money. Cut grass, sweep, wash walls.....that has been my summer folks.
Today.
Mountain and I spent the afternoon lying down. Drifting in and out of sleep. Talking about nothing. Looking thru catalogues. Watching the fish in the pond.
Now that is the way a day off should be spent!
Too bad I don't have a door

Thanks to all my friends that came.
they know me so well. Perfect!
