and then the tooth ache began…

February 2

I am sitting in the middle of my living room in the insane middle of the night, or rather ridiculously early in the morning what ever way you look at it on my computer. Why you ask aren’t I lovingly snoring beside my hubby and enjoying my day off? Toothache. Yup I feel you loud and clear!
Kinda terrifying actually considering we have no dental coverage right now and no family dentist.
When I quit my job at the post office before I went back to school we never did look back into dental coverage because we couldn’t afford it, its pretty much the same right now. I’m sitting here scared out of my mind wondering where we are going to ger the money but the toothache in my mouth is giving me no choice.
What do you do as an adult when the money runs out before the bills do? Go figure this toothache comes to visit the same time my car decides to go off the deep end and my last bill for the month shows up.

I also have to get everyone in for eye exams. Awww the joys of being a mom…..another reason I’d like to be a kid again. This being the mom is tough shit.

Wanting

January 28

Why is it every time I see a pregnant women, something in me tightens? I can remember vividly the feeling of being pregnant. I for one loved being pregnant. The feeling of the baby moving, the warm feeling you experience during. I love the curve of a woman’s stomach while there is a baby inside. It makes you want to gently run your hand along the smooth surface. Is that strange?

I’d like nothing better than to have my boyfriend’s baby, I know he’d be overjoyed if it was the right time on our lives. I’m not sure if its ever going to be the right time. My sons are 13 and 11 already. Life’s no better now financially as it was two years ago, and that not going to change any time soon. I’m feeling my baby years are over. It makes me ridiculously blue for some reason. Perhaps its a sign of aging and I just need to accept it.

I really do wish my younger sister has a baby soon, perhaps being a close aunt to a newborn will help this feeling….for now I’m just kinda blue :(

Domain registry scam

December 29

Please be very aware that there is a new scam out there!! I am so pissed right now, but what the company does not realize is I am a geek. I don’t take anything involving money lightly and I google the name of any company asking for money that I don’t recongnize.

The Domain Registry of Canada is FAKE. Do not send them a penny of your money. I’m not sure how the hell they got my address and connected me to my website but I am fricking mad. I have even gone as far as giving anonymous information to the very site that is hosting my legit website.

Here have a good read about what this fake scamming conniving company is all about.

My favorite blog

December 10

There is one blog in particular that I read nearly every day. She has an amazing way with her words that draw you in and make you want to read more. She captures you in and lets you know all about her life, making you care about a perfect stranger. She is funny, smart and wacky. She makes me laugh and cry all in one post.

Her blog, Attack of the Redneck Mommy, is truly a wonderful read. She lives in the same province as I do and so there are many things she writes about that I understand fully. She’s a wife and mother, a few details we also share in common. She has a weekly? or so segment on CBC Connect with Mark Kelley that she relates things she has tried in her parenting world. She’s beautiful and amazingly down to earth.

So Tanis Miller, wonderful blog writer…this praise is for you.
Please keep the great posts coming…I’ll read every one!

November 29

Its up for your enjoyment, or not for that matter. My About Me, for your reading enjoyment found by clicking the tab.

Stay tuned for more changes as I get to them.

A work in progress

November 20

I’m currently working on this website and blog. I’m redoing the about me section and the blog layout. Its time for a change, stay tuned to new changes!

Nervous about parallel parking

October 7

I’m actually scared to death about failing my parallel parking tomorrow. My test is at 10am, tomorrow morning. I’ve honestly taken the test 5 times now and failed. Tomorrow will be 6. I am afraid of letting down those people who are eagerly waiting for me to pass this test and finally get my license. I am a pretty good driver, I just get really worried when the test is going on. Though this is true as well for any test I take.
I figure I got through a college course full of tests perhaps I’ve changed for the better and will be just fine tomorrow during test time.
My boyfriend says he is not going to be upset if I fail, I’ll just have to take a course then….though I’m not so sure. He’s so impatient when we go practicing parallels around the neighbourhood, and often says he’s not a teacher…he just does it and doesn’t know how to teach it. I find it very frustrating. He also thinks I’ve waited for the very last minute to begin my practicing…but its not like you parallel park every day. I’m also worried about letting down my family and friends and having to face them and say “no I screwed up again”. It makes me feel sick to my stomach about it.
I do however drive everyday and my wheel handling is just fine. I do need to remember to use my hand over hand during the test tomorrow as well.
I know this sounds very fickle, but if you are a believer…maybe pray a little for me? I need more then luck this time.

Spam you later

September 23

Thank you so much my ever loving spammers. Thank you for the joy of deleting all 217 entries. I may need a splint for my clicking finger. I feel the love, really I do.
However, just so you know….I do not need vitamins, a flight to god knows where, or male enhancement products. Cause I’m broke and yanno a woman and all.

Now that is over, news people news! I have a new job. Okay so its not so new anymore because I’ve been there for a little over a month now, but its new to you all! I work in a little computer shop called LABB Computer Solutions. Its doing what I love and went to school to do, and I learn new things everyday. There are only three people working in our shop, so everything is very hands on, head first learning. I love hearing people call me a tech! I am the only girl, as I’m not surprised though. Women are a rarity in my profession. I don’t mind it though, I like being a rarity. It makes me unique.

It is also forcing me to get my license and a car because there are no buses to where I now work. And egads taxis are expensive!!!!! So yeah, I’m around, though I am now working a 9-5 and am not very chatty. My posts should get more interesting and more often now that life has become more regular.

There ain’t no rest for the wicked

July 23

I was walking down the street,
When out the corner of my eye
I saw a pretty little thing approaching me.
She said “I’ve never seen a man
Who looks so all alone,
Could you use a little company?
If you pay the right price
Your evening will be nice,
And you can go and send me on my way.”
I said “You’re such a sweet young thing
Why you do this to yourself?”
She looked at me and this is what she said,

“Oh, there ain’t no rest for the wicked,
Money don’t grow on trees.
I got bills to pay,
I got mouths to feed,
There ain’t nothing in this world for free.
I know I can’t slow down,
I can’t hold back,
Though you know, I wish I could.
No there ain’t no rest for the wicked,
Until we close our eyes for good”.

Not even fifteen minutes later
I’m still walking down the street,
When I saw a shadow of a man creep out of sight.
Then he walks up from behind
And puts a gun up to my head,
He made it clear he wasn’t looking for a fight.
He said “Give me all you’ve got
I want your money not your life,
But if you try to make a move I won’t think twice.”
I said “You can have my cash
But first you know I got to ask
What made you want to live this kind of life?”

He said “There ain’t no rest for the wicked,
Money don’t grow on trees.
I got bills to pay,
I got mouths to feed,
There ain’t nothing in this world for free.
I know I can’t slow down,
I can’t hold back,
Though you know, I wish I could.
No there ain’t no rest for the wicked,
Until we close our eyes for good”.

Now a couple hours passed
And I was sitting at my house,
The day was winding down and coming to an end.
So I turned on the TV
And flipped it over to the news,
And what I saw I almost couldn’t comprehend.
I saw a preacher man in cuffs he’d taken money from the church,
He’s got this bank account with righteous dollar bills.
But even still I can’t say much
Because I know we’re all the same,
Oh yes we’ve all got to satisfy those thrills.

“Oh, there ain’t no rest for the wicked,
Money don’t grow on trees.
We got bills to pay,
We got mouths to feed,
There ain’t nothing in this world for free.
I know we can’t slow down,
We can’t hold back,
Though you know, we wish we could.
No there ain’t no rest for the wicked,
Until we close our eyes for good”

Scary!!
