OUT

so yes. We went out.

I love going out with the girlz. Happens about every 6 months.Mountain was more than happy to stay home so I could go play.

There are a lot of pictures popping up on facebook. I didn't know there had been so many camera's! Holy Carp! I drank my litre of wine at dinner and was good to go home and climb into bed. Steph gave me a look and a word and i knew I was off to the Springs.
me waiting for Steph to get to my house........

What did I have for dinner? Tacos with the family. Dessert at Lou's. Nummy choco cake. A must have!

So off to the springs. Its pretty fuzzy from this point on. Ran into Hot Neighbor. Remember him? He is getting married. How great is that. I am sooo happy for him. Some other guy that knew me from waaay back in the olden days. His marriage just broke up. After he found out I was most definantly unavailable, he scoped out my table of ladies and wondering which of them was single. Back off Guy! They are all mine!

it got to the point rather quickly at the pub, that if I didn't keep moving there was a really good chance I was going to fall over and not get up again. I'm sure you know that feeling. Must Keep Moving and doing things. I didn't want to smoke anymore and I had already talked to HN, So really the only thing to do was Dance. Yes thats right Dance, dance I say!!! and Dance we did. It is possible that I was alone at some point on the dance floor, but I'm really not sure.

this is my awesome hot sexy look!!

Steph got me home safe and sound. I don't remember pouring myself out of her most beautiful Pilot, but I must have. i woke up about 3AM fully dressed lying on the living room couch. Shivering. According to Mountain I came in. Sat on him. He looked in my eyes and said I was talking but there was really no one in there. Finding me as hot sexy as I obviously was. He got away from me as quick as he could! told me he was tired and going to bed. I layed down and was out before he even made it to the kitchen. So like a smart man he left me lying there. I eventually made it to bed. Slept there fully clothed for awhile, till I managed to get undressed. Where the heck were my jammies anyhow? I guess i had a good time. I didn't come home with any tattoos or extra people. Thanks Steph for making sure I got home safe.

Mountain and I sat in our jammies Sunday while he laughed at me and listened to what I could remember about conversation. Sex, Orgasms.....you know. Girl talk! Than we got ready for my Staff party................

Can't wait for the next evening out W0mens! but seriously. Next time I mean it. I am only going for Dinner! maybe.....LoL!!

Ummmmm

I'm pretty sure once I sober up I'm gonna have a lot to say about my nite out with the Girlz

Looking Forward to tomorrow Evening!!!

who else is?

ShaZaM!

So as some of you know, Charlottes school has been pissing me off.
what else is new?
I've asked the teachers not to let the Charley use the timestables chart or calculator. But she still is. This of course results in the fact that she can't do math! She has only just begun to learn how to put a story togheter. You know...beginning body, summary. and I'm pretty sure she ain't got it. Sentence structure. Besides the fact of the day she was paged to the office and then just let to go with my sister without anyone checking. It appears that my initial in the planner is more important than anyhting else. So important in fact that Charlotte can forge it and i don't get red felted. They check for that and take the time out of the planner moment to circle in big REd Felt or pen that I haven't initialed. Yet....do not check to make sure Charlotte has what she needs to bring home. Nor are my many notes and questions answered.
Now this "historica" report! Jewels knows my frustrations on this already.
Project Book: Write a 3-5 page paper - approx. 200 wrds per pge. This must be typed. i don't remember ever signing C up for a typing class
Backboard:
References: Most students should have 3-4 different resources
Interview:
Students will be graded by their teacher and she will have her own criteria based on the above guidlines. The letter grade for Social Studies for this term is Soley based on this project. We are Doing George Ferguson. Thought it was going to be a great thing! Its not. But she wasn't allowed to switch after Christmas. Anyhow, I have been sending notes to school. Asking how Charlote is doing. Is she gonna make it okay? Is anyone helping her with her interview? No answers. So Yesterday, when Des McKay was in for lunch i picked his brain.
He is now taking this on and "gonna open some doors" So we'll see what happens. Mrs. W. is thrilled! she is passing on the News to the other mom's that have been annoyed by this project and the lack of communication or direction the kids seem to be getting.
its not totally the project that ticks us off. Its the seemingly LACK of teaching. they all seem to do it the same way. And its shitty. Our kids are in different classes and it all seems to be the same way. Lacking. So hopefully something positive comes of it.
Craig Carmicheal is the photographer we feature on the walls of the restaurant. He is local and used to work with the papers here in town. He's taken my pic a couple times for the Post. Anyhow, he was in yeaterday dealing with a pic when he told me about the new collection he has been approached to do. A 50's type pin-up collection. How fun is That? and he asked if i would like to do it!!! Hell Ya! but I would have to have dark hair for it. The contrast and my eyes pop more. i am soo flattered. I would love to. I've never been asked to model before. I told Mountain and he was NOT impressed. "i don't feel comfortable with that" hmmm, how ironic. Frig. Whatever. I told him he could be there. I might even make money from it! Could you imagine? A whole 50bux!!! hahaha.
Tomorrow night is Girlz Night! it'll be nice to get out. I'm looking forward to seeing you all. Charlotte has a b-day party in the afternoon so Mountain and I will have free time. YaY! Thats exciting too.
Then Sunday is a staff dinner at the restuarant. I like that. Being fed.
Frig. Just when I have money saved up to pick up a can of paint or brushes, girls night or staff dindin turns up. GRRRRR why does everything have to cost money?

Public Bathrooms

Seriously!
We need public bathrooms downtown.
Today I put the Big Kybosch on To Go coffee.
they come in to use the bathroom off the street. I say no, you have to be a customer. They than offer to buy a coffee to go. BAM! I have to say yes cause Boss Mitch is watching thru one of the many camera's. than they go in. Shit up a storm and leave!
Yesterday. I said no to a guy. Than he came back 15 minutes later with money for a coffee!
I spent the middle of my afternoon, wrist deep in super major Bleach water scrubbing the toilet, the floor, the sink, the door handle....cause this guy obvioulsy had diarrhea. It wreaked so badly that Sylvain had to go in and burn paper to get rid of the smell!
So if you are a public pooer, sorry. But stay the Fuck out of my restaurant!

Saturdays Dinner

Hmmmm.
WEll, it went good.
I had set out some ground rules and covered my butt by inviting another mutual friend.... Robbi.
She was there as a buffer. As a referee if we needed one.
I had set out the rule that Mountain was not allowed to defend me or her should anything start. Just to be fair. He needed and needs her and I to find our own way. Our own relationship.
She was very charming. She was late. But that was okay. I slowed dinner down and we ate a bit later. It was amazing! I madeup this brocoli zuccini casserole that was so delish i wanted to hord the whole thing to myself! Lyle was concerned cause I didn't have a recipe, but he was pretty proud to show off my culinary skills a few hours later to his friends.
We talked about her baby.
the girl is 3 month or so pregnant. Boyz o boyz does she make that the center of attention. Whatever. Mountain sat next to me on the couch with his hand on my knee.
When it was time to go Leah and I had a moment togheter.
one in which she told me she was not after my boyfriend. Just offered up the information!
My response was I know. This is about Respect for my relationship with Lyle and my position in his life. I told her that I wanted to be given the chance to see her the way Lyle sees her and I think I got a glimpse of that tonight. I also told her I wasn't comfortable with the 3 of them spending time togeher.
she nodded and than tossed in, yah, but we're still going to hang out!.......its for Teaghan right?
Robbi walked up at that moment.
i didn't like that comment. I didn't like it one little bit!
I left it alone and stewed on it for the next couple hours while Lyle drove her and Robbi home. Robbi went for the ride all the way out to WhiteRock so that Lyle and Leah weren't alone. What a good girl! she told me she's going to start charging 25bux an hour for her services.
So when Lyle got back I told him about our conversation.
I told him I didn't like the smugness of her comment. And that I just don't like the possiblitly of the 3 of them doing things togheter. That it just wan't going to happen.
That was it. He got up, mad as Hell. We started arguing. And he left!
WTF!
I can't stand it when he does that! We Never get to finish an arguement! That totally pisses me off! AGHHHH!
So all day yesterday life sucked.
I spent many hours on the phone with Robbi. she has been on both sides of the fence, so she had much wisdom to offer. It was nice to be validated. she also opened my eyes to some stuff too. Than she chatted with Mountain.
So is he going to do things like clothes shopping just the 3 of them? Yes probably he is, once a year. Is it wierd? Yes it is. Is it sending an unhealthy message to the kid? Yup. But am I threatened about Mountain and Leah? Nope. not at all. Are my feelings going to be respected.....as long as i am respecting his, they will be. its not my business how these 2 people want to raise this little girl. As long as when she is my home she abides my rules.......
Blended families are not easy. There is no Black & White. There is a lot of grey. Grey is not easy for me. I am an all or nothing person.
So last night i heard from my man, how much he loves me. He loves me and wants to make this life with me. That he knows he is hurting me and doens't want to, but this is just how it is. As life goes on, things about ThaT relationship will change on its own. My fears that this woman is going to pull it all out from under him were heard. He is scared of that too. We will cross that bridge when we come to it.
In the big picture......
this is a man that wants to Love me and spend the rest of his life with me. He accepts me and all the nuttiness that comes along with me. He is falling in love with The Queen too. If my/our only issue is that the relationship between he and his ex is "wierd" we are going to try to figure out a way around it.
Fact is...we come from very different backgrounds. Its like a clash of worlds. and in a clash of worlds there is a lot of grey.
I trust him more than I ever thought possible. Her is not my problem. Tea is my problem when she is in my house. When he needs to vent to me, as his partner I will listen and push my personal feelings and judgements to myself. Keep my opinions to myself too till I can either put them here or call a girlfriend.
this is an area of his life and past I may Never understand. so we have to agree to disagree.
so from time to time you here in this space of mine will read my opinions of that situation. Thank-you for validating me.

I bought Pants and my Butt looks Amazing!!!

Tackling an Issue

So I figure that since one of my issues is the relationship Mountain has with The Cow as one of my problems..........I am going to face it head on!

I've invited her and her daughter for dinner SAturday

than I will tackle my other issues ........ but first things first.

yes it is possible I have CoMPlETLy lost my MinD!!!

I think I'll cook a roast. That'll be nice.

blog on

i am depressed and its scaring me cause it is coming on with both barrels

Am I off my Rocker?

Mountain is on his way, right this moment to pick up Teaghan.
I was actaully looking forward to a visit with her.
He talked with the Cow and found out Tea has been throwing up all day. She hasn't for an hour or so now. so she must be better. Whatever!!
Anyhow.....
She isn;'t sure if the kid had food poisoning or the flu. She';s been throwing up.....but yet you let her leave for the night.
I told Mountain I didn't want her here. If she has the flu, we really can't afford to get it. If its food poisoning, I'm not into cleaning that up either.
So he left in a huff.
Frig!
I just can't believe she is letting her go. She is sick for Frig's sake.
Mountain is hurting cause of the being hit by a car thing. I suggested next weekend might be better for everyone. Even tomorrow for a visit. After a night of no puke just to be sure.

Would you let your sick kid go?

DNR

I've been working a bit extra in the evenings over the last week.
boss Danielle's gramma had a heart attack and went into coma last week. So she has been at Royal Columbian waiting for her to wake up. I don't mind. I mean, I am tired, but it helps make up for the hours i lost in the beginning of the month. Lyle seems more than happy to help! Last SAturday he was with Charlotte virtually ALL day without me.
Last night I got the call that she will need me in tomorrow night, can i do it? They are going to try to wake up gramma. I hope its a positive outcome for gramma whatever might happen.
This woman has died a few times in the last week. With a DNR on her chart, her husband told them to go against that and rescitate. She is being kept alive by many, many machines.
Gramma and grampa are in their mid-70's. they have been togehter since they were 10 years old! Can you imagine?
I can either think thats icky, wierd, or wow. They are devote Christians.
Grampa went against her DNR wishes cause he couldn't bare the thought of not having fought for her. If there was or is a chance that she could live.........
i have been praying for the family.
Gramma is such a funny lady. I will miss her terribly if it doens't work out how they hope it will. But I mostly worry for the ones left behind.
After 65 years with the same lady. Its gonna be a hard road for grampa.........

what would you do?
what do you want? DNR?

FFF-ing 2 Faced Bitch!

I sent Kori a mail yesterday morning to apoligize for not coming on SAturday. As I know Mountain hasn't done any such thing yet. this was the correspondance.......

Kristi M. Lastnamesdon'tmatter

9:34am Jan 15th
so sorry we didn't make it on Saturday.
I've been picking up extra shifts at work. 8AM comes pretty early when you've worked and 11 hour split the day before.
I'm sure you much had fun!

Kori B
9:38am Jan 15th
sall good I just really wanted Lyle there.. for Jonahs birthday kinda means alot to me .. he was there the whole time when I was preggers .. and I love him for it!!!
~kori~..
not that I didn't want you there or charlie.. Lyle just is a real special friend and It would have ment alot to me if he were able to come.. but i guess he wasn't allowed..., ??? Kori B

9:40am Jan 15th
LOL i was just kiddin sweetie.. lol

and that was it.
I have not responded cause I just don't know what to say. i don't believe her to be kidding. Anyhting that I write is not going to have a nice undertone. Or I might just be Real direct. I havn't had the chance to bring it up with Mountain yet. Still not sure if I will or what to say to him either.
What do you make of it?
am I reading between to many of the, you are so dis-respecting my relationship Bitch, lines??
truth is, i told Mountain he could take Charlotte and go if he wanted.....he chose not to.
I am still trying to figure out why the sudden change of heart for him and now I have the fact that my first instinct was true. I wasn't invited. So that only makes my mind Whir and I am coming to believe the rest of my instincts are hitting the mark too!
He and I really need some alone time in this house to get this stuff all on the table and not worry about "who" is listening.

ever have the wacky feeling that some of the pieces of the puzzle you thought was finished are a holagram???

Someone tell Me Why I am Mad Pleeez!

I'm going to try to keep this a clear as I can.
Just facts. It may jump around a bit. I am also hoping that by writing it all down I can understand my own feelings better.
Korri has a son that turned 10 on New Years day. She always has his party a couple weeks after. Last year, Mountain and I were invited with The Queen as the kids are the same age. I met Korri and her husband for the first time.
Now this is the woman that helped stir the pot back in October, between Leah and I. Which of course it turned out in the end Leah was the one with all the lies on her side. However, why stir the pot to begin with?
yes I invited her to my party a few weeks back. One she said she was coming to. Not only once but twice! I had noticed, on her facebook wall, of a planned outing to someone elses house for chow mein. For the same day as my party. I emailed her a few days before to find out if she was fersure c0ming. I had a funky feeling she wasn't, after all the fighting Mountain and I had done just prior to Christmas. I have told Mountain that the Cow and Korri are better friends than he knows. But he defends them both. So I mailed her and asked if she was coming. No response. Mountain phoned her. No response. She didn't show. If she had other plans, I don't actaully care. Just be honest and don't blow smoke up my ass!
She never did return my e-mail. but she did call Mountain days later to say she had been with flu all thru Christmas and her computer crashed. Yet her facebook remained active. Hmmmm.
So now she has called to invite Mountain to her boys hockey party for tomorrow. I don't really want to go. Its at 10:30 in the morning. In WhiteRock. At some rec centre. however........Korri has also invited the Cow and Tea. Yes Tea is 3 yrs younger than the birthday boy. Some stuff has popped up with work and I may have to be there. As I was asking Mountain if he would be available to watch Charlotte should i have to go in, he brought up the party. I had never said I wanted to or didn't want to go.
so I said, for us to go. That means getting up by about 8AM, on a SAturday morning, to be able to get ready and leave by 9:30, to get there on time. His Response....I'm going.
I keep my up-beatness about this and say....okay. It'll be fun for Charlotte! she loves to skate! and I dive into how great an ice skater Charlotte is cause i don't want to really talk about anyhting else cause I am not sure why this is all pissing me off so much. Besides the fact that I really don't want to let on to Mountain that I really, really don't want to get up that early on my Saturday and go.
So he is going to phone Korri today to let her know. He then reminds me once more that Leah is going to be there. and how I should not worry cause he doens't think she is going to 'come out swinging' at me or anyhting. My response...i would hope not. I don't have a problem with Leah, therfore, she shouldn't have a problem with me.
I than request that after the party he hangs with C for the afternoon so that I can get some much needed grocery shopping done. He agrees.
Now flipping to the otherside.....
why is it that she hasn't contacted me? Afterall, I am the one with the child and she has told me how much she likes me and how good I am for Mountain. Why is Leah invited with her young daughter, when according to Mountain, they barely talk and are not good friends at all. They are only friends cause of him. Would n't the normal course of action for her to invite Tea thru mountain if she wanted tea there? and Once again...what is the motive, after what happened the last time Leah and I were at a gathering together be to repeat it? and what is it with all the adults at all these kids parties? Its not even at their house for Pete's sake!
not that I would leave Charley in her care anyhow as its at an ice rink and not in a controlled 'safe' environment. Even Tea's b-day party was the same deal. One that I was NOT invited to
I have not continued my friendship with Steph's husband. And if I invite Jake over its thru Steph. even if its Joe's weekend. Same with Muck and her ex-husband. And we had years of friend history! Politeness is one thing. this is a beast I am not familiar with.
My theory being.....they are much closer and better friends than they let on to Mountain.
i think their motives are different, but they want the same outcome.
I think Korri suffers from stay at home mom syndrome and just craves the adrenilin rush of 'what might happen!' Like a chemist, she just wants to see what happens when she throws it all in the pot.
So far what I have predicted has come true.
Leah is pregnant with the guys kid she swore up and down she wan't involved with that I said she was and she called me the liar. Now this is the second pregnancy with this guys baby in 6 months. this one she is keeping. His other 2 kids have been taken away from him by social services.
Now if I don't go tomorrow i feel i am sending the wrong message. But going just puts Charlotte in the middle and leaves Mountain wide open to Leah. the one thing I can't stand! On top of all that....I don't think I was actually invited! Mountain choked over his words when I asked him and he responded yes.

so what is my problem?

in the interest of time and getting ready for work. I am sure I have missed something. but for now.....

anybody have a theory as to why I am so bent!

this weather is sure makin' me tired.

I heard rumour of a girls night coming up in 3 weeks
i bin' so sleepy lately, wonder if I'd be able to stay up past 10!

snow
no snow
snow
no snow
rain.....
what The hell!

a dump opf snow that stays for more than a day would suit me just fine. I just can't stand the weather indecision!
Maybe thats why i am tired. This back and forth behaviour of them there clouds is wearing me out!

Ball Park it For me

I am pondering - dreaming really, of a new bedroom.
14 x 14 maybe..............
an addition....
a fireplace would be nice. Not a gas one. One of those fancy electric heaters disguised by a fireplace front. Far off in the REM state, a bathroom. Ensuite. (but thats really dreaming) Definatly a heat source. Windows, closets, walls.......
how much do you think i could get me one of them for?
I am currently in a 10'8 x 9'10, I am telling you........IT'S TOOO fFFFKING SMALL!!!! Ugh!
Anyhow.....I pulled 14 x 14 out of the air. It sounds nice***
if I can manage it cheap......how much do you think it'll cost?
Yes. Mouldings and all.

its a neat feeling whre I am at right now.

the Issue....at rest, for now.
Contentment. Love. Family.
I'm taking care of them. They are taking care of me.

I am happy

a New 2008

I've been reading my friends blog's at the changes and what 2007 was for them. It was a hard year for some. For others just another year.
My 2007 was a year of change and healing.
I bring 2008 in heading on yet another journey opening my mind and learning about the changes that took place in 2007.
- the pinks-
started me off and carried me through most of the year on a fluffy cloud. Coming off them was quite the trip. I don't think they were finally really out of my blood stream till the fall. Sometimes still not. The drug sits in your fat cells. Dormant - so to speak. So as i lose more wieght.....they will pop up and take me for yet another spin! Life on the edge. What a Thrill
-wieght gain-
2007 saw me heavier than I have ever been.
At the top of my wieght gain in the summer i was up by 15lbs and still gaining! May not be much for any of you....but for me. Yikes! After sitting around the same size and wieght since highschool this was a HUGE shock. I have now managed to drop a solid 5lbs and hope to work on a healthier lifestyle to get down a bit more.
I am also trying my damndest at self-talk to like this new body that I have. Cause there is a good chance I might not lose. Age and stuff.
The Pinks changed a lot of my metabolism. I'm 2 yrs from 40. Not as active a job. I am very comfortable with my relationship.
-MountainMan-
We saw 2007 in together with a bang!
We watched it go together with a kiss.
Our relationship has grown and grown. We have and are still learning so much about each other. he is one of the most wonderful people to have ever come into my life. I am soo happy with him. Minus the 1 and only issue we seem to have at this point. But through that issue we have both learned how each other works and deals with stuff. We have returned keys and then given them back. WE have and are still accepting on the fact that WE aren;t going anywhere. He is my partner. A true partner. No matter what happens, we will be by each others side. ItS a big conclusion to come to and just accept. So the yuck that we experience because of 'the issue' we will experience togehter. We will yell, discuss, scream and fight about it, but in the end we will be there together doing what we need to do. The 'issue' is big enough to tear us apart. and I don't know what will come of it. but hopefully we can reach our middle ground soon.
for every step back we or he takes 2 steps forward.
-Mortgage-
I bought my very first home in 2007!!
The beginning of what was planned out to be an exciting summer for Charlotte and i. I'd just bought a pool. We had planned a wonderful holiday. Money finally saved and put aside for it. The house that we had been renting for 5 years sold.
We were given an eviction notice Monday July 16th. After a day of feeling shitty....i got my chin up off the ground and dealt with it!
On Thursday August 16th 2007 i had taken possesion of my new home.
OUr week of holidays were spent moving. We were all the way in by August 27th
We moved a half acre of yard stuff and 2000 square feet of inside house stuff to our little 900 square foot pad. After a few garage sales and tears we are here!
Our first Mortgage. I bring in 2008 with paint chips laying in the bathroom, getting ready for my first little project to give this a wee bit of Kristi. Charlotte's Blue Chandelier laying in the living room paint chips all around it as well. I'm painting her ceiling Blue! Its mine. I will do what I want with it!!! HA!
-Charlotte-
i missed a lot last year. I tried. and I was there, but the Pinks kept me lost a lot.
I pushed my parenting aside in a sense, and that is so awful. She is 9 now. Hard to believe. she is a very wonderful little girl. but her schooling is suffering. I am doing my best to step in and step it up to help her. Mountain is doing his part as well. With use of something to motivate her (Guitar Hero) and the sitting with and extra homework type stuff at home.......i hope we can find a way to make school and learning, interesting for her.
Piano is excelling! Her new teacher this year is Male, Carlos. He is fantastic! She just sits here and plays. She has found a true love for music and has also discovered she is good at it! She sings beautifully and has such a natural talent with her fingers and rythm. I Love It!
-my hair-
I did something I've Never done before. I turned myself into a brunette! ~photos on fotoblog~
its a washout. so its going to look really bad by next week. But I thought.....why the hell not? My hairdresser said it would be fine to do and I could still donate! But only if I use the Non-Permanent stuff. so I did it. Very drastic. But why not.
-friends-
i have re-connected and deepened some major friendships this past year. Relationships are a lot of work. Sometimes Friends fight. it happens. Other times we annoy the Carp out of one another. Thats life. Yell at each other and work it thru. Friendships are sooo important. Honesty. Acceptance. Love. When a hand reaches out the reaching back.....even if all you can do is say I love you. Sometimes we can't help each other sometimes we can. Maybe its the one person that can truly 'see' you. As one friend might be able to talk you thru a certain problem another can't. We all enhance each other with our strenghts and weaknesses. People that you see or talk to only once a year but its like you've never parted. My ladies.
Every Single one of You!!! you are important to me. EAch of you carries with you a piece of me and I of you.

I am embracing 2008 with some neat changes.
i can harldy wait till spring when I can get out into my yard and make it look like me!
my Mountain and I are just growing and living. Our committment to one another so clear.
My little girl will age into double digits! her changes, hormones, maturity will grow by leaps and bounds in 2008. I want to be incredibly present for all of it!

All Change is good. there is always a silver lining. It may hurt or be devestating, but all can be learned from. Maybe simply just not doing that again!

Well its a good thing I am wrapping this up.
Kid is needing her Mommy! What perfect timing.

Back 2 the Grind

well its back to work for me today. Just for a couple days. Than I am off from friday to friday.
Christmas was spectacular!
Yesterday was wonderful!
All the weight I just lost has found its way back to me.
Now I was trying to figure out what I need to get to be ready for my party on Sunday..............
we will be out numbered by children I think. At least at first we will be. I am expecting about a dozen. Not a dozen kids! A dozen adults.....some random kids in tow....this wee house will be full!

Mountian worked so so very hard to get it hung and the knob in over the last couple days. he is so wonderful. it looks so wierd when you look down the hall now. being in my room is wierd too! the best part is how sound proof it seems to be. Holy Heck! I love it! I will have privacy. Mountain and I will have privacy! This is so cool.

I Think I Ate my Potato too Fast!!

Who closes a restaurant for the first week of January?
My boss does.
*Please Santa. Gift cards and Cash*
I get my eyes checked on Saturday!
Finally. I can find out why my left eye produces Pearls. Man. If only I could stand the pain. I'd be a millionare!!! I will be geting a new prescription to get new glasses and new contacts. YaY for me! It will just be a Christmas credit card Miracle!!!
Mountain finally picked up my door that came last week. He got it home here and it was 4 inches too wide. Fffff! No, we didn't measure wrong. No, we didn't order the wrong one. No, neither did Home Depot. The door vendors sent the wrong size!!! So back it went last night. And here we are still with no door on the bedroom.
I picked out a great knob though. I am excited. It will have a key and everything!
Hey. did you know it costs 75bux just to get an eye exam?
The staff at my restaurant is excited for Dec. 30th. I hope the rest of you can come too. LADIES!
I work a split tomorrow. Gotta close. and for a few hours Saturday night. We have a Christmas party booked that i must tend too.
holy Carp. My schedule for Saturday is nuts...... 10:30am to the mall and pick up hemmed pants.....11am SAnta - 11:30 eye doctor - 3:10 piano recital - 5:30 work!
Sunday will be a nice relaxing day of putting the tree up

My house phone stopped working cause of all the rain from tuesday. It was down for 2 days. i called. I had a Guy coming scheduled for Sunday. Than all of a sudden, it started working all on its own self this morning!! YaY!!! I called after work and cancelled the Guy. All I could think was good thing I have a cell phone. Cause this could have been a very bad thing.

Mountain is hanging with Charlotte for Friday and Saturday night for me. Isn't he jsut the Bestest boyfriend I ever did have?!!

Okay. this potato is moving along now and I am so tired. I really shouldn't have covered it with so much sourcream and garlic. What was I thinking!
My mouth is all mungy. Time to brush my teeth and hit the pillow with my blonde head.

blog On dudes.

Hey! Let me know if you can come that Sunday!

Of Course!!!!

I will Have a Party Open House on Sunday December 30th!

Lets Do it!

4Pm onward seems like a good time.
Bring your drink of choice and a bag of chips.
If you need to spend the night......no worries. My house is small, but doesn't that just make it more interesting?!

Kidz? Oh yes bring the kids. they are welcome. After-all. Mine will be here.

i hate missing work.

At least this time she actaully has a fever and is really sick. I got a few hours in.
Frig. The end of the month is really starting to freak me out!
I hope he decides to open for at least lunch on a few of them. Missing a week of work is gonna be a serious January problem.

Just cash and Gift cards for Christmas please Santa.

this plan I had to bake all weekend is just not working out how it looked in my head.

You gotta love it, when your boyfriend brings you presents for Date night.......................

Buckleys and a Costco card

Thoughts that Are Floating in my Head

- I have entirely to many Decorations
- how the Heck am i gonna put the garland up without putting holes in my walls
- I grew out all my body hair and I kinda like some of it
- i need a whole new wardrobe cause nothing fits anymore
- I sure hope Mountain and I win with the tickets we bought together. At least a little amount would be nice
- I hope someone, that holds his respect, has a chat with Mountain soon about the time he spends with the ex. He's got to hae at least One sensible friend
- What about Bob?
- i wish it was always uber busy at work
- i want a better wine list
- I can't find the Christmas cards i bought and I gotta get those done instead of blogging
- tipping out 4% is really starting to pick my butt! We tip out on staff meals and liquor and take-out orders.
the other day a staff member, from the kitchen, came in for breakfast with a friend. The bill came to just over $30. She didn't tip me. so I had to pay-out $1.20 for her to eat her meal! You bet your Ass i brought it up with her!!
WE don't have a bartender or a dishwasher or a busser or a hostess. So really, 4% is waaay to high
- I can't wait for the ballet tomorrow~
- Charlotte is tall
- Mountain is good in the sack
- why do Cheetos have to be so good
- I gotta get this decorating done

don't know what this means but......

when i hear _____ say i am only getting a tste of what you go thru.....
i am happy to finaLLy be on the same page with someone.

aND THINK its been Years for me.
Full time years? .....6/7/8/...9
yes 7 wierd but true. averagee/....... I worked a lot from home. It helped, but it still sucked large ranch animals.
her time. Her time. Sucked.. Lottie's. she suffered. so much better now that she i out of main streaM
pro-d days.......
eventually i booked off holidays....
daycare wasn't worth it
but...its been so fulfilling to have someone say....yah...i get it!
Now i understand!
the bitching. the crying. the fighting.
it sucked the life out of MY KID and now one person understands

thank you

OoogleNoth!!

Pass it on! It'll make someone smile!

So today, my side slit in my skirt tore almost right up to my WooHoo!
Thats a lot of leg Baby!
My turtleneck is coming loose from the sweater so I had neck skin out!
Boss Mitch called me a Grabby...something...but I thought he called me Gravity Goo!
is that even funny? What does it mean? I was stumped. No come back or quick remark. Gravity Goo! What The Hell!

Full Moon this weekend Kids. Could it be the one where all my clothes are shredding themselves. What is the Universe trying to tell me with that?
Or perhaps my ass is just that wide.

Whatever!! Just Oooglenoth and it all mkkes sense after that.

2nd Chance

Currently there is a situation that i find fascinating happening.
a Do-over.
WE all get scenarios of do-overs in our lives and we try to use our past experiences to make the 'right' choices the next time. but how is it possible to know when its all new people involved. You Can't take the script from a hit play with amazing stars and apply it to a new one with new characters and Expect it to be the same marvelous sell-out it was with the Big Stars......can you?
The new characters trying to follow YOUR script, but actually having one of their own stuffed under the bed.
WEll she has a script that has the main characters, The Stars, in it that are the same.
New ones have popped in to take on the secondary roles. But it seems there are a lot of the same plot lines from the old script being used.
Does she follow the same script or re-write it?
The ending has to be different anyhow as the main end Character is unavailable at this time and there are a few new ones that have already signed a contract.
So no matter what, the end has to be different.
But the pre-ceding events that lead up to the end. Is it a re-write?
I dunno.
What I do know, is that the writers in Hollywood are still on strike.

Christmas Time

First, let me start by saying, I have acquired a ladder and I am most excited to be able to put my Christmas lights up along the peaks of my house like other HOME-OWNERS!!!!

i will have all kinds of time of during the Days of Christs B-day.
This will be most exciting, but very very bad for the pocket-book!
WE are closed Dec. 24, 25, &26. As well as Dec. 31st and Jan. 1st. Yikes! But nnow he is thinking of closing the 27 & 28th too! Just cause last year business sucked ass. That is a lot of time off.
which is great cause I can hang with the Queen and Mountain has all that time off too!

So i aM debating what to do with that time.
I was thinking an Open-House on SAturday the 29th might be fun!
Kind of a pre-New Years post-Christmas Party!
What thinking you?
Its after Christmas and most of the Hub has sub-sided.
Maybe it will snow and I will actaully get to play with Charley in it!
i think i might be excited.

CHRISTMAS IS COMING EVERYONE!!!!!

So there seems to be some action next door.
Cars all over........trucks......moving trucks......security guy-gaurd......and a locksmith!
i just heard banging.
Are they going? Are they? Are they??

Pinks!

Those Pinks sure kept me stoned.
Holy CArp I was fried all last year thru Christmas!
But thru these last couple weekends, as they have worn out of my system and the same ole is coming back........I wish I had a version of them hat didn't stone me up like they did
Last weekend it was my anxiety levels.
This weekend, depression.
Work is good, but my memory is shot.
Its like I am drunk every day and night. As soon as I am a littel tired, my memory is Gone!
Although, i must say, that is per-norm. Even while I was sober for those 4 and a half years, my memory sucked ass if I was tired. I would even slur in the eveings!
WEnt shopping all weekend for a Christmas outfit for Mountains compnay party coming up.
That was depressing.
Finally I went all by myself yesterday and came home with a Sparkly top to wear with the pants i bought a few weeks ago. Le Chateau let me down. I have store Credits for there. So I was concentrating my shop in the one store.
But I forgot I have a 25 dollar gift card for the whole mall. So into Mantique I went! Ended up only spending 20bux! So i will feel dressed up. Now I can use my store credit for jewellry at Le Chateau!
Mountain stayed home and made cookies. Charley happily played in her room.
I came home very happy.
An hour alone did me a world of good.
I was no longer sitting on the livingroom floor crying.
I was happily finishing up the roast and folding laundry.
So I might not have the Pinks. But I have Mountain, who could see i needed to go away for a bit.

Not all Street People are the Same

Its early this year, but thousands turned out for the Tree lighting in old downtown.
I bumped into piles of people I know and Charlotte got the pleasure of being shown off.
I hate when my mind goes blank with the names. My old age you know. People I've talked to for years and all of a sudden i don't even have it on the tip of my tongue!
I did get the pleasure of introducing her to my favorite bums!
and they really are my favorite.
Henry and Brian.
They are live in a couple of the homes in town.
Henry has some ticks and depression
Brian is bi-polar. He takes a couple lithium and adivan a day among a bunch of other meds. Holy Shit!
anyhow. they are sweet and so very harmless. Look scary more than anything.
You've probably seen them about town.
walking behind one another. Brian has lots of bleached out hair crawling out from underneath a hat. Wears glasses and usually can be seen with his earphones full of music over his ears. Henry is older and shuffles his feet along. He is so pleased cause he just got a haircut and his beard trimmed.
They dress dirty and soemtiems they smell, but they are genuine.
They don't steal and I couldn't imagine they ever would.
They were so happy to meet Charlotte and I was more than happy to introduce her!

Holy Heck it cleared!

the cheque dated badly cleared!

I am so Happy its not even funny.

So i don't know if my Uncle did soemthing or if they............
Fudge if I know. But I certainly take back anything bad i said about my Uncle. Even if he didn't do anything to fix the situation, I still take it back.
Its bad form to bad-talk the Elders.

Sooo I get my WooHoo extra cheque at the end of the month afterall! YaY!!!
Thats good cause I was wondering how in the Heck i was gonna pull off Christmas.

Legalize it!

Yup. I've decided.
maybe i have lost my mind.

but I have thought about it and i think we should jsut legalize drugs.
legalize it. Gets rid of the dealers.
Sell it cheap. they;ll weed themselves out with overdoses and whatever else. should cut the transiates at least by half!
They won't steal so much cause the carp witll be cheap enough to buy.
Keep the slums for them all to live in. Keep them in an area that is monitored by the cops.....they won't be all over in the streets.
There would be no need.
They'd have their drug of choice. A place to sleep. just gotta worry about food. But I'm sure they all visit the food bank anyhow. Maybe the Food Bank could just deliver!
Kinda like that Kurt Russel movie Escape From New york!
put all the druggies and hookers and dead beats all in the same place. Fence it........

okay so I haven't worked out the kinks, but I'm sure you get my drift!

STUPID DUMB DAY!

THIS DAY JUST SUCKED!

Grrrr.

Firstly this Eye thing is really pissing me off!
What the F is wrong with it. I keep getting funky deposits on my left contact. I've gone thru 4 disposables in the last couple months since I moved. I am on my last one! My glasses are in serious need of a tune-up. I still wear them.....but they are not lookin so hot. Missing a nose thingy and one of the arms got itself all chewed up somehow. So they lack todays style. Whatever. they are so close to bhaving tape in the middle to hold them together.......
So I finally have 'extra' money to afford to get my eyes checked......costs 75bux plus tax you know!
Than I guess the good ole Visa is gonna get a work out paying for new glasses and contacts.
HOWEVER - the soonest i can get in is Dec 8th! its not their fault. i am just not available at 3 in the afternoon. That job thing. 10-5 and tues not avail till after 4 or saturdays. Well my limitations are mine. so I dont get to deal with the Fffing eye thing for 3 weeks.

than first thing at work, before we re even in the building, the native i had arrested on Friday is out and about. Decided to wait on the outside with us!!
FFF off! and go away.
He's drunk. he's beligerant. He causes trouble. and he's really creepy, scary looking. Besides the fact taht he Wreaks!
Some housing somewhere got shut down and downtown is over-run with a new load of drunks, crackers and street-people. Its cold. so they all want to come in.
Than Big Diabetic guy that I had to call on a few weeks ago is sitting on one of the benches outside the restaurant. Yes we have petitioned the city to have them removed. He was there when I got there in the morning. He came in, harmless enough. got a coffee 2-go. fine. Give it to him quick so he gets out.
Than he stands outside and Pee's on the building!
What The Fuck!
about an hour later he comes in for another coffee only this time he brings his skid woman friend with him. He doens't have enough money. I am with a customer that is paying. he starts going form table to table asking for money!!!!
I drop what I am doing and tell him to leave.
Get Out!!!! you can't taqlk to my customers!!!
he leaves and starts pan-handling on the street.
I call the cops.
Frig! they don't come soon enough and he is back in my restaurant with money cause people actaully gave it to him!!!! I told him the kitchen was closed!
Go!
this is not a soup kitchen. The Salvation army is down the street.
These people are and have affected my business.
They don't walk into Restaurant 62 to use the bathroom or sit in the urine soaked clothing stinking up the place. They don't even wander into Paliotti's down the street and do that. Yet at my place..............

I'm sorry if I come across incompasionate, but i am just tired of it.

Now I get home and check my bank account.
My grandad had written me a cheque for Charlotte's piano lessons. I deposited and then paid out for the lessons. Well gues what didn't go thru?
he put the wrong Year on it! 2004! So now I am short that money! Friggin.

This day.
Its not like its bad stuff. Its just stuff. And I have not been all that great for the last few weeks. So this is just not doing me any favours.

On the up side.......i think my period has finally stopped.

I'm getting a Door for my bedroom!!!

i ordered it.

it should arrive in 3 Weeks!

YaY!!!!

What The......

how is it possible to have a weekend of sleeping in ans still manage to be sooooo tired i Sleep in Today too!!!

the Pill

Talked to my mom about my body situation.

I forgot about going back on the Pill!
i can totally do that!
and then at least the period part will stop and get back on track.
I am soooo excited about that possiblity.

As for the other.....
its all worked out. i can't get into it though.
As there are eyes that don't like what I write. and If I feel like I have to hide from those eyes what i am writing than i really shouldn't be doing it.
Right?!!
So out of respect for the feelings of the eyes........I will delete and not talk anymore about that part of my life here in this public space.
Just know all is well after much fixing and working out and conclusion coming.

Ladies

I know most of you are younger, so you haven't gone thru this stuff yet.
But for those of you that are older and going thru perimenopause. Or finished.
Any tips on how to get thru the 3 week long periods?
I have managed everything else, but that.
Any vitamins or teas or foods that are good?

It was a Thrill just to be nominated!

we didn't win.........

Besides Happy Birthday to Charlotte and Me!!

met with Charlotte's teacher's yesterday to discusss what we can do to help her.....

things were going great till the discussion turned to ADD.
Now whatever.....so she was pushing me to take Charley to the doctor and get her on Ritalin....whatev......I don't even care about that. I've taken Charlotte. And the doctor said NO.
but as a teacher she is trying to find out what can work for Charlotte. so its okay. She is exploring avenues. Ones I'd been down before, but still. Whatever.
Charley is creative. Dramatic. And actress. Mature for her age yet still only her age. Fits in with the boys, but desparatly trys to fit in with the girls. Charlotte is always thinking and does a great job of keeping most adults on their toes. Charlotte needs lots of discipline, but go ahead and try to find one that works!
Charley can be an extreme Asshole.
Charlotte is a kid that desparatly needs a Stay-at-home mom.
But when she made the comment that Charlotte is both a part of me and my Husband..........thats when i knew.
It was at that precise moment I knew both these women were not only completly vacant, but so weak and stupid. No wonder Charlotte does nothing in the class. She Can!!
If you have a kid you are having troubles with don't you look at their File?
Frig! I was required at the beginning of the year to fill out a 'get to know you better' sheet. Which I did. Andit CLEARLY states she does not have a dad!
No one else lives in the house with us.
Suddenly the light came on and I realized it really is only up to me.
I really do have to home-school her after she's been in class all day.
So.....

Happy Birthday to me! I get to go Back to grade 4!

This Life of Mine is Changin'

What is going on?

i am content and happy.
So disgustingly in Love that soemtimes i make my own stomach turn. It can get to be a bit much. I sat on the floor at his feet last night at my sisters. Arm over his leg, most relaxed. But that was probably becuase he was running his fingers thru my hair!
Eeew! How did this happen! We touch. WE sit togher in total comfort. Sometimes we even kiss in public.
What The Hell!
Tonight i sat here on my own with the Queen.
the power went out briefly. That sucked cause, guess what?
I was watching the News!!
Frig. Amazing I was watching T.V. at all. But the News! This never happens. Than I watched some insider edition.....jsut for Entertainment!
What is going on here?
Its cuase of my impending 38. Holy Fff!
Menopause, the News, happiness......I jsut never saw this coming at 38
And you know what.................I like it

Ohhh Yeah!

Charleys party was a smash hit!
she had the best time.
I had hug after hug after hug.
Steph and I made the plan to surprise her with J. And did it sure work. she was thrilled.
They had the best string in a can war Ever!
J started out with no amo at first. but boys o boys did he make up for it in the end. my kitchen had silly string from one end of it to another. It was awesome!!
After they left we had icecream cake....that i made...and it was Marvelous.
we sprayed each others hair with Purple and Pink hairspray, did our nails the most outlandish colours and than settled in for another movie.
Charlotte was begging for me to turn off the T.V. by 11:30.
thank goodness; cause I was ready for bed by 10 so I was some tired.

1 of the gifts I got for The Queen was a Highschool Musical 2 piano book that she has been drooling over since September. I picked it up last month. And she has thought it was gone. Getting soemthing like that is a bit of a gamble cause you don't know if it will encourage them or if she just liked thepictures in it.
Well that kid of mine opened it up.....with her friends there.....and started to plunk it out!!! Holy Carp!
I tell you....she has been working on it ever since!
it was a good buy. I am pleased.
I will download some pics as soon as i can get down my hall again.
Mountain is working on my dryer so I am trapped at this end of the house and of course my camera is at the other end.
So here I sit in my room.
Curler in my hair. Jammies on. Been up for hours, but of course the stupid time got set back so we are all out of whack now.
he should be done soon. Dumb dryer hasn't been doing its job properly. so he has set about to fix it up for me!
Such a wonderful man that he is.

Tonight my sister is doing a Dinner for Charley and I to celebrate our Wednesday Birthdays!
How great is that!!?
The 3 of us are set to party for 4.
I am excited. i love to celebrate. All I need is for the acknowledgment. A call or a letter.....just to know I have not been forgotten....simple. I don't need big parties or gifts. Just remember me on my day and I am happy.
Of course. Mountain better not only remember me but sappy card me too! But really even that is enough. I've got everything. And Lord knows we don't need to bring anymore stuff into this house. So If i get a gift card to Home Depot, Rona or Linens & things I am more than Happy.

Oh.....there was a grunt.
could he be done!
I can stop typing and be let out of my room?

Better go check.....

Wham Bam!

Yikes!
So many emotional things happening here the last couple days.
This thing with Mountain and the Ex has finally gotten itself worked out.
Mountain and I will not be ripped apart.
Nothing is going on.
He knows she is the issue. He knows and see's now how she is using her child to get with him. We both agreed that in time all will heal. Eventually she will get over her feelings about me, just as I did last night about her, and allow the girl to come here again. untill then Mountain will do what he needs to and so will i.
Now Charley's Birthday is tonight. Well her party is anyhow.
She invited those girls. Only 1 could come.
So I gave her another invite monday cuz she thought of someone else in another class. And so she had 2 coming! Perfect.
then the new invite called her last night and cancelled.
it was like a knife.
"Nobody wants to come to my party"
Oh I'm gonna start to cry again just remembering and thinking.
so now I am terrified that this other little girl that said she was coming is just not going to show!
i made icecream cake. We decorated the living-room. I'm gonna rent Highschool musical....all the ones I can get. Mountain is picking up balloons. so we over-compensate. cause this sucks. And she will have the best Birthday party ever for 2!!!
On top of that. I got my period a week ago and its not right not normal and won't stop. my boobs still hurt and my uterus has been achy and i have been extra tired and, and, and...........basically i am just old and my body is reminding me. Friggin Menopause.
my birthday and Charlotte's is next wednesday. And I will be 38! thats kinda ok. I have a house now and a daughter and a wonderful boyfriend and a good job. so I feel pretty accomplished.
Better run!
its late and I still have lots to do to prepare for the party!

Blog On dudes!

50 Points!!!

I think we finished it.
Charlotte had her very first report ever to do these last couple weeks.
One that she kept leaving at school......of course....yet when it came home.......

I don't know.
I realize my daughter is a challenge. And she is a hard one to teach.
"Charlotte is always off task. We are constantly reminding her......" Great. What else have you done? Why is her desk still in the center of the class-room? I bet that helps her keep on task.....being in the middle of the room like that with all those children around her to distract her.
Oh you keep her in at recess! Perfect. Thats exactly what she wants you dumb-fucks. Or have you not noticed that she usually plays alone outside! Way to be on top of things!

I had a meeting scheduled with her teachers today. but they cancelled on me. I have sent numerous notes to class. some get answered, some don't.
so we re-scheduled for next week.
She has 2 teachers. One from mon-wed. the other thrus-friday.
All the work she did on her report was done here at home. now I'm pretty sure y'all know how much time I have for such shit.
A notice came home that I need to be letting her on my computer for homework. I wasn't happy, and do not feel comfortable with her usi8ng my computer in my room withmy stuff......... but I understand this is how school is now.(I say this thru clenched teeth) But the part where I am supposed to be printing shit off!!!! What The Fuck!
As well as I am and was expected to take her to the local library.
What the Hell is wrong with the library at the school?!!!
Like I said.....none of what has been done was accomplished at school.
When are they teaching???
I don't know if we did it how them womans want it. Its not perfect to my standards. but I am not the teacher and I am also 38 and have done my share of elemetary reports as well as college so I don't know anymore what is age apporpriate. Besides the fact that Its not my Job!!!
its the fricken teachers job!
And There are Two of Them!!!
So why has this ended up on my shoulders?
To boot. this report is out of 50!
yup. 50 marks! I am simply blown away.
She is not yet 9 and in grade 4. First report. and has not been taught anyhting from what I can see.
I am so annoyed.
It gets handed in today. So i guess we'll see what we get......

one thing more..........

yah wana know why we got re-scheduled???
her t/f teacher called me at home Sunday afternoon to let me know that the m/t/w teacher was sick. And that she would be sick all the way till Wednesday!
So neither of them could meet with me!
Very thoughtful of her to call and let me know, but............
As a matter-of-fact.....Charlotte had a sub yesterday. It all lacks serious teamwork from what I can see!
