Memories lost

If you have been reading frequently you know that a while ago I asked all of you to keep one of my gfs in your prayers.  Well all our prayers worked cause she is up and about and getting stronger everyday so thank you all for your love.  But I need to ask you to keep praying.

Yesterday I got to speak to her via msn and she doesn't remember me.  With this surgery she has lost alot, and I cried; like a baby.  I tried so hard to be strong; it was the main reason I couldn't bring myself to blog yesterday.  I have known her since gr. 6... and all of that she doesn't remember, all those memories we shared and no one else.  I just hope that is comes back slowly for her, it must be soo hard for her.  I will keep praying.

Def..

So we all know how tired I have been the last few days lol.  I can't seem to get myself to do anything, and hubby isn't picking up any slack right now... well at least not this weekend... the sink is overflowing with dishes that I will have to do.  But i'm soo tired and I can't hear anything.  That is right I have been struck mildly def for the last week.  I know i know, go to the drs. and get it fixed.... I will when i'm not freaking exhausted so stop nagging me i'm EXHAUSTED!

Last week was also my last week with my daycare kids, and i'll be facing a whole week with JUST my kids and no one else which will be a really nice little vacation.  Though I haven't managed to fill my last open spot and the other couple starts on the tenth.  Placing me in a hard spot for rent but what can ya do.. I can only keep renewing my ad, keep having meetings and hope for someone to pick us.  I just hope that happens in time for Oct. 1st, that would be a great blessing!

Other than that I haven't been doing very much this weekend, haven't gone anywhere or done anything special just hanging out at home and creating a large pile of dishes that only I will end up doing... so far looks like at least FIVE times today.  That is what happens ppl when you have two kids, one sink, and no dishwasher.... it doesn't end well for mommy bottom line.

I hope that the week is restful, I hope that i can soon hear something and I hope that all of you will cry just as much when you read this facebook status update that happened accross my news feed first thing this morning!

Hi, Mommy... I'm your baby. You don't know me yet, I'm only a few weeks old. You're going to find out about me soon, though, I promise... Let me tell you some things about me. My name is John, and I've got beautiful brown eyes and black hair. Well, I don't have it yet, but I will when I'm born. I'm going to be your only child, and you'll call me your one and only. I'm going to grow up without a daddy mostly, but we have each other. We' ll help each other, and love each other. I want to be a doctor when I grow up. You found out about me today, Mommy! You were so excited, you couldn't wait to tell everyone. All you could do all day was smile, and life was perfect. You have a beautiful smile, Mommy. It will be the first face I will see in my life, and it will be the best thing I see in my life. I know it already. Today was the day you told Daddy. You were so excited to tell him about me! He wasn't happy, Mommy. He kind of got angry. I don't think that you noticed, but he did. He started to talk about something called wedlock, and money, and bills, and stuff I don't think I understand yet. You were still happy, though, so it was okay. Then he did something scary, Mommy. He hit you. I could feel you fall backward , and your hands flying up to protect me. I was okay.. but I was very sad for you. You were crying then, Mommy. That's a sound I don't like. It doesn't make me feel good. It made me cry, too. He said sorry after, and he hugged you again. You forgave him, Mommy, but I'm not sure if I do. It wasn't right. You say he loves you.. why would he hurt you? I don't like it, Mommy. Finally, you can see me! Your stomach is a little bit bigger, and you're so proud of me! You went out with your mommy to buy new clothes, and you were so so so happy. You sing to me, too. You have the most beautiful voice in the whole wide world. When you sing is when I'm happiest. And you talk to me, and I feel safe. So safe. You just wait and see, Mommy. When I am born I will be perfect just for you. I will make you proud, and I will love you with all of my heart. I can move my hands and feet now, Mommy. I do it because you put your hands on your belly to feel me, and I giggle. You giggle, too. I love you, Mommy. Daddy came to see you today, Mommy. I got really scared. He was acting funny and he wasn't talking right. He said he didn't want you. I don't know why, but that's what he said. And he hit you again. I got angry, Mommy. When I grow up I promise I won't let you get hurt! I promise to protect you. Daddy is bad. I don't care if.. you think that he is a good person, I think he's bad. But he hit you, and he said he didn't want us. He doesn't like me. Why doesn't he like me, Mommy? You didn't talk to me tonight, Mommy. Is everything okay? It's been three days since you saw Daddy. You haven't talked to me or touched me or anything since that. Don't you still love me, Mommy? I still love you. I think you feel sad. The only time I feel you is when you sleep. You sleep funny, kind of curled up on your side. And you hug me with your arms, and I feel safe and warm again. Why don't you do that when you're awake, any more? I'm 21 weeks old today, Mommy. Aren' t you proud of me ? We're going somewhere today, and it's somewhere new. I'm excited. It looks like a hospital, too. I want to be a doctor when I grow up, Mommy. Did I tell you that? I hope you're as excited as I am. I can't wait. Mommy, I'm getting scared. Your heart is still beating, but I don't know what you are thinking. The doctor is talking to you. I think something's going to happen soon. I'm really, really, really scared, Mommy. Please tell me you love me. Then I will feel safe again. I love you! Mommy, what are they doing to me!? It hurts! Please make them stop! It feels bad! Please, Mommy, please please help me! Make them stop! Don't worry Mommy, I'm safe. I'm in heaven with the angels now. They told me what you did, and they said it's called an abortion. Why, Mommy? Why did you do it? Don' t you love me any more? Why did you get rid of me? I'm really, really, really sorry if I did something wrong, Mommy. I love you, Mommy! I love you with all of my heart. Why don't you love me? What did I do to deserve what they did to me? I want to live, Mommy! Please! It really, really hurts to see you not care about me, and not talk to me. Didn't I love you enough? Please say you'll keep me, Mommy! I want to live smile and watch the clouds and see your face and grow up and be a doctor. I don't want to be here, I want you to love me again! I' m really really really sorry if I did something wrong. I love you! I love you, Mommy. Every abortion is just One more heart that was stopped. Two more eyes that will never see. Two more hands that will never touch. Two more legs that will never run. One more mouth that will never speak. Repost if your against abortion ♥

Hope you have a GREAT sunday!!  Please send all man candy monday requests to: eschelle_w@hotmail.com

Alot

This weekend has been filled with a lot of stuff and alot of nothing... basically just ALOT.  But today we are going to highlight one thing that I have done today and that was do a photo shoot.  That is right I found myself a nice girl to be a model for me and BOOM there we were for three hours taking photo after photo.  Now I don't have the best-est of cameras, certainly not a DSLR BUT I can manage with what I have.  I find that it isn't the camera it is the photographer.  Of course with me being sick I didn't get as many great photos as I had wished.  I took about three hundred photos and so far have about seven that I really like.  Isn't that incredible??  Granted I haven't had the time to play around a fix up the more time consuming ones but I definitely loved the GREAT ones I did pick.
Want to see them???

Those are my two favs so far.. i wish i had more favs but what can ya do!  Plus i'm not done yet either; I am about to start going at the rest of them here now that I'm feeling a bit better.  I found that when I got home from this shoot I felt HORRIBLE!  Luckily i'm all good now... especially now that hubby spent 25.00 on some oil of oregano for me... almost made me puke but it definitely did the trick!

one down and only one more to go

Today I am soo happy.  I have been freaking out trying to find replacements for my childcare openings that I have coming up AT THE SAME TIME!! putting me in a tough spot when it comes to rent for October not to mention just in a tight spot with eldest's birthday landing in the same month as well.  But today my worries were put to some ease, as I have filled one of those two spots.  THANK GOODNESS, this means I have to go and turn down one woman with siblings looking etc. but I am not worried about it.  I have another woman who is looking really promising and who would also be a GREAT fit for my daycare ALL boys.  I would love that all boys!

I would have never thought that I would be the kind of woman that would want a house filled with nothing but boys but honestly I seem to just get along with them so much better it is brilliant, plus with both my boys having a girl in the mix is kinda rough.  They play roughly with them etc etc, these boys just don't get little girls lol, but they wont grow out of that will they??  No, no they wont.

But back to these people I met today, these parents are AWESOME, just my kind of people.  Both have tongue rings so I didn't have to sit there trying to not open my mouth to wide lol, I was very happy having one of these things doesn't make you terribly desirable as a childcare provider.... how they think that my piercings run into my parenting skills is beyond me but what can you do.

All I have to say is thank GOD, I was soo worried that I wouldn't be making a wage this upcoming month, leaving rent and bill solely on hubby's shoulders, meaning he would have to work extra on weekends and everything.  But with this one spot filled our future is looking brighter, happier and more manageable; and it doesn't hurt to have met a GREAT set of parents that I know I will get along with just swimmingly!

I hope that all of your Fridays are going just as well and I have to say a special thank you to all of you who are keeping my gf in your prayers it is greatly appreciated and I would love you if you could keep her in your thoughts on Tuesday.

Threw the Looking Glass Thursday

Lately I have had a lot of inconsistency with my blogging, I am trying to fix this... slowly as it is impossible for me to stick to anything solidly with my hectic scheduling.  I want to try this feature I have thought up.  I have no idea if this has been done before or w/e but here and for me it is a first.  It will be a time where I will share something with you I don't normally go around advertising really.  I mean I don't really have major skeletons in my closet or anything but it will be like things I remember as a kid, things I have done, things I wish i did do that sorta nonsense. 

Today I wanted to talk about a girlfriend of mine, for the sake of her and her privacy I will call her Smurfette.... no idea why she reminds me of her but it was the first thing that popped into my head.  Anyways I have known this awesome girl since grade six and it has been an incredible pleasure.  She and her mother have cared for me since I came to my school Chartwell.  I owe them a lot and I love her with all my heart, but my dear friend is sick.

For a long time now she has had tumors growing inside her head.  They give her migraines i remember her missing weeks of school for among other awful things I'm sure she didn't share with everyone back then.  They have been getting worse and it has lead to yet another brain surgery.... this time a 10 hour one, very risky.  I am scared... scared for her... scared for her mom... scared about loosing a dear friend.  I want to be able to be there with her the way I used to, but I can't.


I wanted to share my fears here with you since I know it will help me be stronger.  That is what all of you seem to do for me when I need you, you make me stronger.  So if you could all be thinking about her on Tuesday that would be greatly appreciated, for she will need our prayers and healing thoughts.

Today I Won Something!

Ever since high school I can remember waking up and turning my TV onto Breakfast Television (BT) if you're cool.  I never win anything unless it is on BT I swear!  My husband would completely agree with me.  I can touch his chair and he will loose, touch tickets, money, ANYTHING and you'll instantly loose... heck I can touch microwaveable popcorn and it will burn no matter the time frame.  I am cursed. 

But my faithful BT??  No way man nothing can stop me I enter everything in the hopes of wining and though I may only win small things I WIN!  And that is awesome, it never happens, I have all too often tasted the bitter spoon of defeat.  It tastes horrible.  But today I will be eating off a silver spoon, a yummy spoon, a winning spoon for today I was their facebook friend and I WON!

You can visit here to see my video where they show me on TV OOOoooooOOO AAaaaAAaaah. 

All I have to say is that I love you BT, and I am thankful Riaz pronounced my name correctly... probably cause I've won before lol!!

"No, it's my special shirt!"

 So the other day I let Eldest pick out his own clothes to buy online.  Needless to say he picked a Lightning McQueen shirt... and this shirt, since recieving it yesterday hasn't left his body.  He refuses to take it off!!

This is the only picture that I really have of it... see how it shouldn't be worn in the sun... yet he refuses to be without it.... downright refuses...

You may be able to catch another glimpse of my shirt-nemesis.  I asked him to change his shirt this morning with a horrific response as my child clutches his chest:

"NOOO MOMMY, its MY SPECIAL shirt!"

"So you wont change it?"

"NO!"

"Fine..."

A battle I wasn't willing to fight... especially since he took so much care to keep it clean the day before I just shrugged and let it go... at least he lets me change his pants and undies right??  How is one to wash a shirt a child refuses to take off??  Get him to shower with it on?? I don't think so... this may take some ninja daddy mommy skills!  I mean it isn't like he is some sweat oozing teen yet right?

Barbie

So I have been hunting for something, because I was stupid enough to tease myself with window shopping online in order to find what I wanted to get my Eldest for his fourth Birthday.  This was a mistake.  The object in which i found was apparently impossible to find here on my side of the border.  I could find the 2-3 yr old one but that is just not big enough for my little beast.  Plus it wasn't as cool let's all just face it.  What I wanted for my son was this:

You would think that this would be easy to find.  But it isn't, it is ridiculously hard to find this in Vancouver or even Alberta not that I would go there Seattle is a lot closer.  But i have no car... thats right no car.  I do have, on the other hand, a young sister in law with a car that is planning on going down there to go shopping in the near future.  So what do I do?? Call every Toys R Us in the Seattle area, landing at Northgate mall's location (i think that is right) to end up waiting for customer service to pick up....

"Hello my name is Barbie, what can I help you find today?"

I pause... shocked and about to pee myself laughing cause this is just way way too much for me.  Honestly was this planned???  Was this a store joke???

"Hi I'm looking to X and X yadda yadda"

Did you think that could ever happen?? The most Ironic thing to happen to me ever in my whole life and I just can't stop thinking about it.  In the end my beloved Barbie found me EXACTLY what I was looking for EXACTLY.  It is the display model so i'll get some $$ off too... only thing I have to figure out now is the pick up and my holding options.  Not like i'll be able to just hop in my car and BOOM end up over the border no no, this will all have to be planned in advance so i'm hoping that Barbie will be getting back to me asap so that I can make the proper arrangements or just get them to order me a new one in before my sister or father in law plan on jumping the border for me lol. 

See GREAT condition... too bad I can't find it on my side of the fence!

My long weekend

This long weekend has been amazing, it felt like an actual long weekend and I wasn't sad that it had to end lol.  Hubby is all better and back to work today after a NINE day flu mixed with severe dehydration.  He is great now and is off digging at work. 

Being sick he still managed to come out on our double date with his Parents to the PNE which was great cause we didn't have the boys with us.   I was sad I didn't get to go on any rides but hubby wasn't up for it... and I didn't want to go alone and make everyone wait for me lol.  I got some great pictures and saw some great things so i'll share them with you.  No I haven't edited any of this.

today my house is a mess and so am I

Yesterday we spent a LONG time at the PNE again, a double date with my in-laws without the kids and it was GREAT!  I have to admit it was nice being an adult at that place again, even though I didn't get to go on any rides... I never get to go on rides, not fair.  Anyways one day i'll just say "i'm going out" and i'm on the verge of going in and riding them all alone... which is sad and pathetic lol!

But since we were out all day yesterday we were too tired to do anything other than make a HUGE mess and then go to sleep.  SOOoo today?? My house is a horrific mess.  Things are everywhere dishes are filthy and haven't been done.  It is amazing how my small apartment can get so messy in one day.  Astonishes me honestly....

What do you do when you're too tired to clean??

I wish I could wiggle my nose and have a clean house, or a hubby that could suck it up and help out.  He's has a flu for a solid week and been in bed, not going to work for that time.  I wish when i got a flu I could just sleep the whole time and be waited on hand and foot... but i don't i get abandoned in a house to take care of my children, despite dizziness, vomiting etc.. I hate him when hes sick makes me want to kill him, is that horrible???

I just can't stand him, he is so cruel to everyone around him and then doesn't appreciate anything you do.  So this weekend I am just going to leave him, I don't care what he does but I sure as hell aren't going to be doing anything for him.  If he wants that sort of shit, he can go down to his parents and be baby'd there.  Cause I am finished and not doing it, I don't EVER get this amazing at home healthcare the way he does, so why should i give it to him if all he does is yell, whine and scream at you for it right??  I wont.  I just wont.  He is so vile it makes me happy that he is suffering and thinking that makes me upset and sad.
