New House Hidden Treasures?!?!

while changing the batteries in one of my things in my room, the battery popped out of Mountains hand and fell down the heat vent. He swiftly took it apart, reached in to retrieve the fallen and pulled out.................

PORN!!!

Stashed porn on DVD has been hiding in my bedroom vent all this time.
We're checking the rest of the vents in the house.........

don't know what to do with my hair

I know this seems stupid.....

but I am really struggling with dyeing my hair back blonde.
My blonde roots are coming thru so my hair has this wierd affect going on. The brown has done about as much washing out as I think its gonna do. I miss my blonde locks.
I'm nervous about dyeing it casue I just am.
when I went brown it was a colour not a dye and I don't know it just seemed safer in my head some how.
of course the part where I thought it was going to wash out MUCH more than it has helped. 28 washes it said in fine print. Non-permanant colour. That's what it said, it did. It did!
to top it off....my eyebrows are totally back to being blonde. so now I have to really paint them on every morning!
I guess I just didn't realize the pride I carried around with me about my hair.
If I dye it back blond.............I can't say its my natural colour and well I really can't donate it and what if I F it up worse!.
What was I thinking.

I Miss Being Blonde!

My Mother

Why does she have to piss me off?!!
Why does she feel the need to belittle me?!!
Frig!

"it would be nice if you could have a job that paid you more money"

Why?

cause it would be nice for you?!!

FUCK OFF!!!!

didn't we do this?
Remeber? you started in on me 6 years ago. I then left the kind of work I Love a couple years later. Then I had that nervous break down thing! Remember that?!!! Piss-off!
I do fine. Maybe not as fine as other people. But fine enough all the same!
I am happy and Love my job. I don't have to worry about sitters all the friggin time. Don't have to work weekends so i can be here with The Queen on her days off too! Fuck you Mom. "Change careers." Get a clue! "maybe you could go back to school?" and work full-time and be a mom. "you are so good with children. Apply for a T.A. position" I don't want to!
Shift-work. Weekends. Nights. I am not built that way. I don't do well in a randomly scheduled atmosphere. It makes me crazy! Up too early to get C to school.
Morning daycare? 6AM are you Colonel Mustard in the Library with a Candlestick?
Stop pissing in my pot!
Do I embaress you?
I need a different job to make you happy?
Sister and Brother seem to have money? No Mom!!! They are so far into debt its not even funny. Add up actual money......I HAVE MORE!!! and that is not much!
my debt is this house. Thats it. I don't owe anyone else. Do you have a clue as to how much those couples owe in credit! Car payments? Credit cards? not including their 350 thousand dollar homes?

i could have lots too and be in that kind of debt. Not my deal. Don't want it. In debt to my little house.
Fuck she irritates me. If anyone can get under my skin its my mother.
Its no wonder everytime I go for counselling they ask about my mother. and then tell me to keep her at arms length. Counsellors. Boyfriends. Friends! all witness the same thing. Keep her out of the intimate parts of your life!!! I've even been told that she doens't live far enough away. First she is supportive, then BAM! she switches gears and she is on ther other side of the fence throwing eggs at me.
Today she is coming to my home to babysit while Mountain and I go to the Taboo show.
What a fuckin mistake. I know better. I haven't had her stay in my home alone for a few years now. And the second I am letting her in.......she pulls this crap!
Switching Gears.
Its like she feels that because she is doing me a favour...........UGH!!!
I fight my own judgmental attitude...that I learned from my mother....all the time!
Like when I talked to her about Sister doing Roller Derby and isn't it wonderful....my mom's response...."*sigh* I just wish she would do something nice. She could be trying for a baby. She has a yard now. She could garden. Why does she have to do this?" FUCK U MOM!! Just cause your priorities are and were different....
Get the picture?

well that is my vent for now. I could go on and on cause she just gets under my skin so badly. But I will vent to Mountain when he gets here and hopefully that will bring my feet back down to earth.

Bit off More than I Can Chew

Holy F - Troop!!

I thought the hard part was going to be doing the ceiling!
Hard wiring the Chandelier that is meant to be a plug, into the hole in the ceiling. Painting it blue, putting up the medallion. All Hellish and difficult for someone with no knowledge of such things. But I did it and it looks amazing! I like to go in and just look at it. (pictures to come when I am totally finished)
I thought the walls would be a problem. they are walls. Flat. How hard could it be?

WRONG!!!!

Whomever lived here before used that room as a pincushion!!!
There are holes EVERYWHERE! not only little tac holes but big What-The-Fuck-were-they-doing holes! Not to mention Charlottes CRAP! this house is too small to empty the room out. so I am kinda pushing stuff to the side and then around and back again. A black garbage bag by my side.....(didn't I just do this when we moved in?) I am at awe the amount of Carp she still has after the amount of Carp we got rid of when we moved 6 months ago! Seriously, do you have to have so much Carp Charlotte!???
Friggin' Carp
So here I am. Roller in hand...there is a hole every inch on one wall. I tried to take a pic of it but it didn't turn out. I might try again with it all filled and unsanded. you might see better. And thats only 1 wall!
One pink wall one blue wall and one green wall with a stripy door and a blue ceiling! Why not! I thought. How hard could that be? Expensive and has taken me months to save up to buy everything for it, but I have and I did and..........What the Hell was I thinking?
This is soooo much work.
WAnted to invite Liz-bit over to help, but I haven't been painting for any solid amount of time. I have no plan. but this weekend is my deadline. SAturday is when it has to be done by cause I had the great idea to have a dinner here on Sunday for EAster!!!!
This cleansing has obviously made me go a wee bit in the head.
Pushing Little girl Carp from one end of the room to the other is not one of the embaressments I feel comfortable sharing so much either.
Oh and then I thought....let Charlotte help a little. What an Idiot I am!!!!
got her to edge the bottom by the mouldings.......of course being Charlotte she has a different plan, be it Vision.....so there is paint on the mouldings....AaaaaaaHhhhhhhh!!!!!
Mountian rubbed my back and listened to me vent. Its ok Kristi, we will paint them. He is so sweet.
But the point being - LISTEN TO ME CHARLOTTE!!!!! OR I WILL OUST YOU OUT THE WINDOW!!!

okay better run. My mom will be here any minute to pick up kid that isn't awake yet.

#29

Charlotte brought home a notice from school.
It was for a survey the governement is doing. A Satisfaction Survey for the Ministry of Education. Well after going thru and doing the multiple choice portion of the survey i was on to Question 29.....A blank space where I can share my opinion of the school system....this is what popped to mind. I did it fast and then regretted not doing a once over.
I sent it off. Spelling mistakes and all. Hopefully it will be read, understood, and respected.

OveralL, I have Not been satisfied or impressed with the teaching methods used.
For example - my child was told by her teachers, that it was not only okay to use the multiplication chart in her planner for her math problems, but that they approved of the use of a calculator. When I questioned this and told them to please not allow it, they continued against my wishes and better judgement. Now I receive a report card that states my child is unable to recall multiplication tables up to 7 x 9 from memory!
Another example being the Historica fair that just passed. Parents were witheld from helping our children with the typing and writing portion of the report. The children were given sufficient time to complete it. I have many, many issues with this project.
Firstly - I find it ridiculous that a 9 year old grade 4 student is expected to type out 3 to 5 page report when they have not even been taught how to type!
Second - Its obsurd to be given a project of this magnitude filled with paragraphs, summaries, and interviews when they have barely touched on how to put information together. When I did finally see what she had been wlrking on I was disgusted. As i came to find out....she was getting most of her guidance from a fellow student in Grade 5!! i don't send my child to school to be taught by another student. I also don't send my child to school so that I can finish the teachers teachings at home.
i am not interested in signing a planner every day. Yet I am told that is part of their personal planning mark. How ludicrous! The fact that my child writes the homework down from the board should be the only thing that is marked or considered for personal planning. That goes for whether or not she reads and the fact that I am required to fill that out too so she can hand it in.
I was already in grade 4. As a matter of fact, I've even been to college and graduated from there as well. I am not intersted in doing it again.
It is my job as a parent to teach my child manners, how to dress appropriately, how to clean a bedroom, clean a pets cage, brush her teeth, eat healthy, wash her body....ect. It is not My job to teach her math or how to write. That is why we have all these educated people in these big buildings filled with rooms and desks.
In this day and age of single - working - split - blended - families it is disgusting to me that children cannot come home at the end of the day, leave their 'work' day behind and just be kids. We are required to take our children to the local library so they can finish the studies they should be getting done at the institution built for such things.
Than they are not even being taught the basics in any sort of methodical, step by step way to take them to the next level.
Its like they are being taught backwards. The cart is before the horse.
Like being taught how to add and subtract without first learning what numbers are.
Then trying to communicate with the teachers is like pulling teeth!
Honestly, if I could afford to, my child would be in private school.
I am not intersted in hearing about how overcrowded the classes are. I went to school too, as I already mentioned, and there was always 30 plus kids in the class.
I do not approve of kids all sitting with their desks next to each other as they do either. No wonder it makes keeping them on task so hard. They can visit their neighbour so easily.
I had a third, fourth and fifth, but I think my point is made.
Thank-you.
Men can be so Stupid!

A girlfriend of mine is having a tough time with her husband letting go of his party days and realizing he has a wife and family to be responsible for. its a really hard time for her right now. She is doing her best to persevere.

Round-Up

i realize its now law that you get stopped while making your purchase of a pesticide....
They are just doing their Jobs...
....you have to be asked if you've used the product before - yes i understand its poison and children have died - i know about the pet thing too - inhaling is bad....YOU THINK!

Seriously, for the 3 times I have to hear the speech each year, i really need a Shiny
Badge i can flash.....AVID USER of ROUND UP!

than maybe I can get my purchase without holding up the line and having to look serious while I listen to the harmful affects to living things.
Maybe next time I should just say i intend to use it on my kid and my cat and see what happens....I'm pouring it in my fish pond to get rid of the algae. That way whole family is gonna sit in it on a hot day and enjoy the BBQ.

Cheezd Off!

I am So Cheezed that my support payments have all but dried up since January!!!!

Grrrrr.

half payments over the last couple months has put me behind.....now i have the icky suspcion I might be SOL for all of it this month.....Shifting more payments and different bills around so i can make it all work......

Then again i could just be panicking too soon and all is well.

But it still picks my Butt to even have to worry about it. Picks my butt even more that i rely on it!
Picks everything else that I am going to have to go to my BF!
pride pride pride

Grrrr.

I wish i could give it all back to him and never need it again!
Stupid mortgage.
Stupid needing to eat.
Stupid Car!!

Seriously, if I did win a subsequent amount of money in the lottery I would give him back all the money's he's ever paid out for The Queen.....that would be approx. 10 000 dollars. I'm sure I could scrape that up if I won a Million!

I DON'T SEE MYSELF LIKE THAT.........

.................ever wondered how Others view you???

I have been since the weekend.
There was a point in the evening where my friend Todd's wife made her way over to talk to me. I had known her back in the day, but it was brief. She was moving into the group as I was moving away.....anyhow. she made this comment that she couldn't believe she was standing there talking to me.
Why? I asked. Thinking oh shit she freakin hates me and I am totally infringing on her space.
nope. Apparently I was the illusive Hot Chick! And DAmn if I wasn't still Hot!.
WHAT?!!!
She was always so threatened when I walked into a room cause all the men wanted me.......she was quick to point out it was still happening......
WHAT?!!
Miss popularity. Center of attention.
WHAT?!!
must be why over the years when I've seen her different places...shopping or around town.....she always does the quick head turn or down the other aisle trick. I just always figured she was avoiding me cause she didn't like me....which would have been fine too. We don't have to like Everyone. But to find out that was why......She was scared to talk to me!
it was really wierd.
And the only reason she made a move to chat with me SAturday was becasue it turns out Mountain went to school with her and her Best Friend that was there!! So they were busy chatting him up. I guess i was 'safe' after that.
Mkaes me wonder what other people think of me. Casue I don't see myself the way she was describing.

Kinda like.....I wonder what will be said about me after I'm gone!!
I really would like to be a fly on the wall.
I wonder how many people truly know me and see me.
I mean, really 'see' me!!
