Sorry about the long wait!
Well it has been well over a month since I updated this blog. I know bad me! But I have been busy with life.....you know that is what we all live and try to improve. In the last couple of months I have been doing some serious soul searching and making changes to my life. One of the things that I have implemented is a different attitude. No matter what is thrown at me I keep a positive state of mind....sometimes I have to chant " Think happy thoughts " many times in a day but let me tell you that it works. Life in general has gotten "brighter" (for lack of a better word). I also went to the doctor and ordered a whole bunch of tests to be done (actually I was made to .... almost literally kicking and screaming). I am glad that I was "asked" to because I AM HEALTHY!!!! No chance of croaking it the near future (sorry "ex in laws" you will have to find another way to get rid of me LOL). Another improvement that is still in the works is my confidence.....we will see how that one works for me when I go out on that "date" sometime in the future. I also am eating way healthier than I ever have....tons of fruit and vegetables, very little meat, and plenty of fluids. So far I have lost another 3 pounds. I am so proud. Ok enough rambling already...I must go and pretend to work!!! LOL
HAPPY EASTER TO ALL!!!!!!!!!
HAPPY EASTER TO ALL!!!!!!!!!

What is wrong with this....
Have you ever stopped and looked at the people around you? You see the ones that flaunt their money to the world....you see and hear about the ones that lie, cheat and steal to get what they want out of people. No I am not talking about celebs. (although some fit the profile). I am talking about your everyday Joe. The people in your everyday life.
I am a honest, reliable, and I will bend over backwards to help out. I don't lie, cheat, or steal. And if I didn't earn something with honest work I won't take it. I also know people that work their a$$es off and give every bit of their heart and soul to help out others and what do they get? Nothing. They barely get recognized.
And what happens to the people that lie, cheat and steal? They get what they want because they play dirty. They are driven by greed. Where is the balance?
It just goes to show...." Nice guys finish last."

It is amazing how receiving something in the mail can make you feel whole again.... being a single mother I am on a fixed income and certain cheques come like clock work. Well this one didn't this month and I was faced with the decision of not being able to pay bills this month. Now I am the type of person that pays my bills on the regular, have never missed a mortgage payment, or a loan payment. So the prospect of not doing so just completely ruined my day/month. I was in tears yesterday and well into the night because I felt screwed... this cheque would eventually come to me but it didn't help for this month. Well I got the best phone call from the post office today....it arrived this morning....appearantly it got re routed and went the long way around. Now I can pay all my bills and get some food.
WTF Month
Is it just me or is Feb. the worst month of the year. I have been moody, lethargic, and down right cranky. And no it is not from me quitting smoking. I have had plenty of oppurtunities to start back up. Because let me tell you that life and people are reallllllly testing my resolve.
But on a positive note I think spring is coming.....I killed 3 spiders in my house within a span of 12 hours....and I didn't do the heeby jeeby dance....I just killed them....literally with my bare hands.....yes I washed them afterwards.....and yes I was in a REALLLLLLLY foul mood.
I am getting my hair dyed and cut today so maybe that will perk up the mood.

When will it end?!
Ok I am so sick of winer! The groundhog told us that it was almost over....I say LIAR! It is nice out today but the last week has been hell....very cold!
This cold and dead looking enviroment is starting to have an effect on me.... either that or it is because the kids are home for another break. They are also summer kids....they don't like winter either.
Well that is all I have the energy to blog about....must go fill face with food.

Whew!
Well time for another update.....
I have finally completed those 400 and some signs! Didn't take as long as it usually does but still long enough.
I haven't heard from that drunk since my last post...THANK GOD!!!! I guess my little attitude scared him off!
And since finishing those signs I have been so bored at home....so bored that I decided to spice things up by ....... quitting smoking! Ok I am only on day 3 and so far the only I have to complain about is the fact that the patch has given me some REALLY crazy dreams. To remedy that I took it off last night and I had no cravings...the morning was a little rough but I cured that by playing on the Nintendo Wii. God I love that machine lol. Keeps the hands and the mind busy. Oh and by the way I wasn't supposed to say anything about me quitting...so shhhhh... you didn't hear it from me. Wish me luck in this latest adventure!!
Soon my son will be turning the big 8! It is hard to believe that! Oh I remember when..... lol I will stop there because that also means that my daughter will be 10 in June and I will be turning the big 30 this Sept. Does turning 30 mean that I need to have a mid life crisis? LOL
Well enough of this babbling....I need to go DO something to occupy my hands....or maybe I will rub the patch to get a little more chemicals into my system.

WTF
Ok WTF is up!!!!
Last night at 12:46 am I received a harrassing phone call, and this was not the first, from a drunk. This drunk man had made a total of three calls all in the wee hours of the morning. This has been ongoing since the 23rd of Dec. This man thinks that I want to go out for "drinks" with him and each time I have said that I am in no way interested in the likes of him. But yet the calls keep coming. After what I have went through in Edmonton this is starting to seriously effect me. I am starting to feel completely unsafe in this small town. And I let him know that I seriously am not going to take it any longer last night....I was rude and used bad language with him. I was about to tell him that I am calling the cops but then he hung up on me.
This call left me paranoid....I did not feel safe in my own home because I know that he lives on the next block over from me. I have told my friend and my mom about it and they are equally as pissed off as I am. I also told my Dad and do you know what he did? He laughed at me and said that I should be having fun with it. I guess he forgot what I went through and I don't know if I could go through it again. What if this caller decides to step it up a notch and pay me a night time visit...then what? Will it only remain phone calls?
I have 2 children living at home and each of these calls have come when they were home. Which in turn makes me even more paranoid and sleep doesn't come easy on those nights. I am actually now sleeping on my couch again so that I am closer to the doors of my house. This is nuts. I can't do this. I don't even know if three calls warrants going to the cops and filing a harassment charge.
I am getting to the point where I want to confront the man in person and take a f***ing strip out of him...but that would probably not be a good thing. Maybe I will have to change my number and keep it unlisted....but then why should I have to do that.
Oh this just pisses me off and makes me want to scream!!!

I am back!!!!
Oh wow, it has been a long time since I updated this blog. I will apologize now "I am sorry" for the lack of posting. I also changed the design and colors of my blog. I may not keep it this way but for now it will do...actually this is all my pain induced state will allow.
So on with the update...
I am extremely busy at work. We have gotten, to date, the largest order that I can recall. Which does nothing for the stress levels. And believe me when I say that stress can do some wicked things to your body. As my current state is some proof. I will elaborate just a little. The past couple of days have been absolute agony for me. Painful to walk, sit and lay down. Finally I broke down and went to the hospital to have it "seen to". I was the most embarrassing thing to do. And not to mention PAINFULL thing to have done. And now the pain is bearable. Not near as bad as it was. But in light of it all my kids have been the greatest help. It is not everyday that my kids see me in great pain. When I told them that I was going to the hospital because of the pain my son said "Do you need a hug, will it help?" I wasn't going to pass up that to get a hug and it made me feel good that the hugs I gave when he was in pain worked for him and he thought that it would work for me too. I didn't help the pain but it helped the heart. Which made me cry a little. Kids can say the sweetest things sometimes.
On another note: I am actively trying to lose weight. I have cholestrol problems and with the recent painful problems I may be working my way to being diabetic like my mom. So I literally gave the van away and I am walking to and from work. Which also includes hauling groceries up a very slippery hill. So if you see me trucking up the hill loaded down with groceries and I am walking almost in the middle of the road...don't coast behind me and watch....GO AROUND! Since the town and people around don't clean off sidewalks and the side of the streets I have no choice but to walk almost in the center.
Well that is all that I can think of to write down, hopefully I will be more faithful in the blogging department...but you know I am a single mother of two kids and the house and laundry never magically get done. Where are those little elves that are supposed to be doing that while I sleep?
