Well here I sit at 20 to 7 in the morning... watching 21 JumpStreet... with a towel on my head and a fog in my brain...
I haven't been to bed yet, well no wait, I have been to bed... I went to bed, laid there for an hour and a half, then for another two while watching a movie hoping to pass out during it... only to have a bit of a hard time breathing... and unable to sleep... got up and had a shower and used my inhaler yet again... So instead of tossing and turning and waking up the man, I came out here and decided to continue watchin an old 80's show...
I've been thinking about this townhouse and hoping over and over that we'll get it. Trying to figure out if I should call the leasing agent to find out what the status of our application might be. I've already had this debate out with a friend of mine and we had said that even though the man and I just saw the townhouse on Wednesday and just handed in the app that day that today wouldn't be too soon to call and ask.
I know that the worse that could happen is that she says that we got denied, but I really truly don't want to hear that. Not after living in this shoe box for four years. Not after starting the process of getting out of here. Wish I didn't have to wait and had a deposit for her.
Enh oh well ... didn't mean to off load... oh wait... yeah I did this is my blog, right...
I'll update if I find out anything about the townhouse or not...

He Called Me Names And I Called My Dad...
Sometimes you wonder just how you're doing with your children...
You wonder if they are polite and mind their manners and compassionate of others when they're not around you or your family...
I get a bit nervous at times cause you never know what they might say to someone and whether or not that person will take it the wrong way...
Well yesterday morning when the man was walking the littlest to school... he ran into the mom of one of the girls in my boy's class and they're friends... My husband gave the mom our phone number in case the little girl ever wanted our son to come over and play in the summer as their last day of school is tomorrow...
Well hubby found out just why the little girl from down the street likes him so much... it seems that the little girl had been sent home from school on more then a few occasions due to head lice... the kids at the school had figured out why she kept getting sent home and so they dubbed her "The Head Lice Queen" - her mother explained that she's done treatments, washed and bleached everything... even gone to the extent to have the house fumigated... she's tackled the problem a few times now only to have her daughter come home a few days later with the head lice again... So her daughter has gotten to the point where she just doesn't want to go to school because of kids taunting her and calling her names... Apparently after one such episode while she was outside crying, my son came up to her and said "Don't worry I'll still be your friend, I know that it's not your fault you keep getting the head lice" ....
Well... to hear that as a mom made me tear up.. knowing that my son had the compassion to tell her that it would be ok and that they could be friends... to know that he didn't just jump on the band wagon with the other kids and start calling her names as well... just makes me think... just maybe I am doing alright... I've always felt I am... but that just confirms to me that I really am...
Report card day was today... both kids passed... the oldest could have done a bit better on the two C's he received ... the littlest brought all his marks up ...
Other then that we have a couple of appointments this week to go and look at some places ... yep that's right I'm house/apartment hunting again... it's been 4 years in an apartment that is only big enough for a single person... So I may be a bit scarce at times especially since I hope to move out August 1st... So there's a lot of packing to be done... which will start on Wednesday... thank goodness the kids are out of school as of tomorrow because they're definitely old enough to be helping with sorting and packing...
So that's pretty much what's new... I'm super proud of my boys and looking for a new place to live...
What's up with you?

The Day Has Finally Come!!
I have slowly over the last 10 years or so been brainwashed, molded and been shown how to be a true geek.
From learning about computer software,
the differences in OS's,
to the hardware and putting together computers on my own now,
shopping and having a wishlist on ThinkGeek.com,
play online text based rp'ing games and staff on one!
I have been rising through the ranks of geekdom and have completed my geek training. Today I was awarded my reward for completing my training and embracing completely my geekhood.
*DRUMROLL PLEASE*

So yes I now have my glasses and the man now has his as well...
*cue graduation music*
I'm ready to take on my advance geek training... switching to Linux, making snide remarks about Microsoft, complaining that not everyone uses linux and linux based programs and try to convert all whom I come into contact with, reading/writing/and understanding all programming languages and make jokes about those who don't, and writing my own rpg!!
And then and only then after graduating from my schooling for Advanced Geekdom then I will be able to wear the coveted Pocket Protector!!

Have You Ever Seen The Rain...
So the other day the man and I go to the mall to get eye exams done...
Where we found out that if you put the two of us into one person we have 20/20 vision... *chuckles*
Apparently I'm near sighted... and he's far sighted...
We went in on Monday to pick out our frames and place the order for them. So hopefully we'll get a call to come in and pick 'em up.
Found out that the man needs his for reading... because the eye strain could have been part of the problems with his migraines...
So now in the last ten years we've cut things out of his diet, tried at least 10 or more different medications, had wisdom teeth removed, massages, back alignments, shots of nerve numbing agents into the head, exercise, cpac machine, a surgery to straighten nasal passages and even sex... to try to alleviate his migraines, and headaches... I can only hope that maybe, just maybe the glasses might help alleviate the eye strain which might help his migraines... I hate to get hopeful but I can't help it... after everything we've been through, maybe this is it...
A lot of people don't realize the psychological stress and toll chronic migraines can have on a person until you either become one of those people or live with one for as long as I have...
My man gets depressed, the type of depression that seems like it might not ever end... the pain he's in causes him to not be able to work, which causes him to get depressed because he can't provide for us like he would like, which causes him to be depressed because there are people in our family who get down on him for not being able to go to work, which causes him to feel like less of a man... which no man needs... one needs support from their family.
Enh enough of my tangent... I just hope that the glasses will help him enough so he can read again without headaches and blurry vision...
As for me, I get to look like a sexy ass librarian whenever I'm away from my computer.

You know you've got it if it makes you feel good...
Ok so I'm fucking pissed in this one...
figured I'd warn ya first.
Ok so we had another game tonight... we lost 4-2 ... thats a bit heart breaking for the kids and coaches... however when you have a ref that can't hear/see what the other coach is doing you just want to kill them both...
This asshole coach on the other team was encouraging his kids to trip, check, elbow and fall our team members. And the kid on the other team that was the best, never sat the entire game.
Shit like that pisses me off - they are 7 and 8 years old, and this dumbass is teaching them bad sportsmanship... *sighs*
I can't wait to talk to the convener about this shit... and I'll warn every other coach that goes up against this guys team.
Soccer at ages 7 and 8 is for fun, at the end of the year everyone gets a trophy and they have a big pizza party... heck even my eldest's team gets all that and that's the 11 to 13 age group.
I have to just sit back and shake my head at this coach because all he's doing is ruining it for the kids on his team.
On another soccer note, Gambit's team lost their game on Sunday... 3 to 2...
I should change the name of my blog to 'The Ramblings of A Soccer Mom' this summer you'll probably hear a lot about soccer since both kids are in it. Feel free to come back in September ;)
There's some other shite bothering me too, but I've chosen to not really talk about it here.

What the What is Ladylike ...
Went to a carnival tonight... Tis the season of the Carnies...
Had some fun with the kids... Went with my mom, Sis, my two boys and my ex...
let's you all figure that out after blinking and going 'huh'
Yes I talked my ex into coming out with us to have some fun at the carnival...
You see it's been almost a year since I've been able to have a conversation with him... because his ex was living with him and she thought that they were trying to work things out and blah blah blah... When really he was just being nice and giving her a place to stay... anyway... any time I tried to call him to talk about what was going on with our son and so forth she would be in the background screaming, telling him to get off the phone or just being a general pain in the ass...
She had sent me a message via my facebook with his account being nasty and so forth... so now that she's gone... my ex and I can go back to the civility we had before. We actually do make really good friends, I just can't live with him and he me, and we're ok with that. Our son doesn't even remember a time when we had lived together, which is probably for the best anyway.
So after the carnival we went back to moms and lit off some fireworks, thanks to the smoke and sulphur and such it kept the mosquitoes down... it was a million degrees today and so hot and muggy... so much so that (Sorry landlady about the hydro bill but...) the A/C is so going in tomorrow. Better to have a cool bedroom then cardiac events because my body is over stressed from the heat...
So tomorrow the littlest monkey has a birthday party to go to... And the man has to work... so that leaves me and the bigger monkey to have some "mom and tween" time.
I'll see what he wants to do for the few hours before suggesting something... something that's not video game related. *chuckles* Hmm maybe I'll convince him to let me dye his hair purple, his dad would loooove that ;)

In a world that keeps on pushin me around...
I thought maybe because I hadn't been writing in awhile that everyone had abandoned me, the last few times I got my report back it was saying I hadn't had any visitors.
Lo and behold I realized that when I switched over to the new template, I forgot to put in the html for my counter.
Put it in last night and yay! It started to count all my sooper sekrit sooper silent stalkers again ;)
So I'm happy to say that my youngest won his first soccer game of the season on Monday, however tonight is practice and wow are we going to work the little guys. Some haven't played for a couple of years and some this is their first year and a couple of others this is the third year in a row. So the coach and I are gonna have to get them in sync. So they won 5 to 4!!
So ... what else is new....?
*shrugs* I'll have to answer that one later...

I Read The News Today, Oh Boy...
Having sensitive lips can be good and bad thing...
Good thing is that it makes kissing all the better when you have sensitive lips...
The bad thing is your lips are more likely to be affected by, stress, the weather and other such things...
So how are things?
I haven't had much to say in the last little while.. been working through a down time.. One of those just put your head down and work your way through it kind of times...
I went to go get my eyebrow ring taken out and have a new one I had just bought put in... lo and behold my piercer tells me that I have to take it out and let it close as she didn't like the way it was looking... it had been catching on stuff and what not and it was starting to come out on it's own. Bah! So now I'm letting it close and will be getting it redone in a couple of weeks. Hopefully, I'll get my eyebrow and nose redone same day get it out of the way.
I should up date my profile pic as I'm back to being blonde again, seems the routine is red in the winter and blonde in the summer.
ho hum what else...
not going on vacation anywhere as I'm to broke to pay attention...
I've thought several times in the past that maybe I should just kill of my characters in the mush but then I try to get them active by putting in prp's which of course just sucks the fun out of it, because of having to be the one in charge of the scene at all times. Figure with staffing they just never get enough rp to get them going anywhere so might as well just get rid of them and then I don't have to worry that they're behind xp wise with others that started around the same time... *sighs* oh well.
that last little but was a rant mainly to myself as I don't know of many others that would really understand that paragraph.
Was supposed to have my training with the Distress Centre this past weekend... forgot that I was going to Toronto to a Lions convention... oy so now I have to wait until the September session to do the training. I so need to keep a better track of stuff I'm doing...
Ran into one of the girls that was training with Donna just after I was, found out the dumb cunt told the girls after she kicked me out that I had decided that it wasn't for me... nothing to them about how she broke the contract with me by telling me to leave and how I thought she was a dumbass who had a megalomaniac complex... So I told her about it.. she shrugged and said she wasn't there any longer and how she had to leave for health reasons... So now she's down to one girl and since the two of them treat people the exact same way... ergo using people.. I think she's set. Looks good on her.
