Is this week over yet???
So this week has been filled with all sort of fantastic stuff (if you couldn’t tell that was filled with sarcasm).
My daughter had the flu, thankfully it was just a fever and body aches but never the less I was dealing with a child who had a 103 fever, then I had my son following me around the whole time she was sick crying that I love her more than him because I am spening time with her.
Then on Wednesday finally football started up again. So my husband (who is a coach) asked me to help him and take attendance, no problem I am there anyways so why not right? Well then I realize that I am not just taking care of his team but evry kid in house league because there are no teams yet and because this is the first practice there are alot of issues to deal with, kids who don’t have equipment, parents who haven’t paid, and of course questions questions and more questions. I also have to go around managing 2 separate lists, one of updating contact iformation and the other is for missing equipment and make sure everyone gets what they need, and then I get to call people this weekend and let them know when/how to get thier equipment. And I get suckered into being a team manager!
And finally today I get to go home and tell my daughter that her cat which went into the vet’s on Monday morning to get declawed and was supposed to come home on Wednesday is still not ok to come home and maybe she will be able to come home this weekend. My husband and I had to deal with her for an hour last night crying about her cat….this is so not how I want to start my weekend.
So that is it and that is all…hopefully next week will be better…
time for another rant…
About 1 1/2 years ago my family moved to Brampton and at the time we decided that we were going to keep our existing family doctor in Milton, well now the time has come that we want to move to a family doctor in Brampton.
Do you think we can find one that is accepting new patients?? NO!! I tried contacting my family doctor to see if I could get a referral to a doctor in Brampton, his answer, he doesnt know any doctors in Brampton!!!! Are you kidding???
So needless to say I am still on a search for a family doctor in Brampton…lord help me I better find one soon or someone is gonna get hurt…maybe I was wrong when I was initially against private health care…
it has been awhile…
Since I have been on here, haven’t really had too much to talk about. So here are the updates that I have…
My voice is still gone but I have finally seen a specialist and hopefully my voice will be back soon.
I am still a non-smoker, it has been about 2 months now and I think I am done being a smoker.
that is really about it…life has been kind of boring (which is nice) around my house lately…
Random Rants
So I have a few things I need to rant about so I thought I will type it all out here instead of making my husband suffer through them 
First I will celebrate day 15 of no smoking…what I would like to note is that in all of the information I have read about quitting smoking they say you will feel better..well I can say for me it is the opposite, I have a harder time sleeping, my headaches are more frequent, I have difficulty breathing…But even feeling like this I am still going to stick with it and be a non-smoker…
Now on to my biggest rant…so anyone who knows me knows that I love football especially my Cowboys..well last week the Cowboys dropped WR T.O. because he was too much of a disturbance on and off the field…this is BS why get rid of someone who has proven stats and is a great player and then decide to keep someone who chokes every December when it really matters? Why keep a coach who can’t keep his team in line and an Offensive Coordinator who in my opinion has about 3 different formations in his play book and that is all. This team has so much talent in it and absolutely nothing to show for it! Something really needs to be done, maybe a total overhaul of the team is needed but getting rid of one player isn’t going to make much of a difference.
Also one of the biggest gaps in the lineup is the back up quarter back slot, last year we had Brad Johnson, sorry gramps but you need to retire…Now we pick up John Kitna! Kitna! Are you kidding me???? The guy is older than me…WTF…Mr.Simpson, oh sorry Romo will get hurt again next year and the person we are going to trust to lead our team is the quarter back of the team who could not win a single game last year!!!!!!!!!!!??????????!!!!!!
This has now frustrated me to the point of no return and is making me seriously reconsider my Cowboys tattoo I was going to get this summer…
Lastly unresponsive people I deal with alot of different people at work and I can handle most things, but people who do not respond to things drive me insane….and what makes this even worse is that these are always the people who complain the most…aaarrrrgggghhhhh
Ok I am done now, have a happy Wednesday
Relay for Life
I have signed up to do the Relay for Life, for those of you who don’t know what this is, well it is a 12 hour overnight relay for the Canadian Cancer Society. You work in teams of 10 people and you basically walk all night long. Last year was the first year I did this and things went ok but I want to do a lot more this year. For example my daughter and I raised almost $500 last year so this year I have set our goal for $600 ($300 each) but I would like to see if we can raise $1000 between us.
There are 3 reasons why this is important to me;
First My mother is also 17 year survivor of cancer.
Second I have lost 2 important people in my life to cancer, my grandmother passed away from lung cancer when I was 12 and my mother in law passed away from breast cancer 7 years ago this October.
Third is my daughter…I don’t want her to have to know Caner like we know it….
I am working on coming up with different ways to raise money other than just asking people to sponsor me, which is great most people will sponsor either myself or my daughter but a lot of people have the “what’s in it for me opinion” so I am working hard to make sure we can raise as much money as we can.
So at the end of this all if you would like to sponsor me please click on the link below.
Tomorrow is the first day of the rest of my life…
So this is it tomorrow is my “quit smoking day” after almost 20 years of smoking (except for the 2 times I was pregnant) I will quit smoking.
I know this is not going to be easy but I am ready and it is time, if I don’t do it now I never will. I am going to quit cold turkey.
I think the hardest part of this will be avoiding my smoking triggers, especially at work, thankfully though my smoking buddy has also just quit so this should help alot.
So if I am overly sensitive or grumpy for the next little while please be understanding
eeeeeeeeekkkkkkkkkkkk!!!!!
So my daughter has turned 10 and it appears that she is in need of a bra…I am not happy about it and my husband is even less impressed by this. So I get to take her bra shopping this weekend (if I don’t chicken out first), I don’t want to go and she REALLY doesn’t want to go but a girls gotta do what a girls gotta do.
Now me being me and the planner and investigator that I am I looked into what type of bra she should get or which one would be best (because we all know an uncomfortable bra is one of the worst feelings in the world), first of all back when I got a bra there were 2 choices white or tan. There weren’t sports bras, regular bras, PUSH UP BRAS and of course what 10 year old doesn’t need a lace bra!!!!! Now I understand having the old school training bras and the sports bras but why on earth would a child need a push up bra? Or a lace bra?????
This is making my anxiety of having to get my daughter a bra even worse…I may need a dose of liquid courage before I take her…
So I think I will let my daughter decide for herself which one she wants, with some words of advice from someone who knows and hope that I don’t suffer a stroke in the store.
I somehow think my husband has lucked out, he has to have the “talk” with my son but really what is there for boys to know?
Back to work….
So this is my first day back to work after being off for 2 weeks with no voice, my voice isn’t back but I am back to work. Anyways I am typically the person who enjoys work and has never wanted to do the stay at home thing. Well that has totally changed for me now, I would much rather be home than at work today. It isn’t because I sleep all day or anything like that it is just I prefered being at home and I think it has alot to do with the fact that I do not enjoy my job or the people I work with. But we are in a recession and I have a house to pay for so I will continue to work….that’s about it for me….
hhhrrrrmmmmpppphhhh
So Sunday was my second favourite day of the year (after Christmas)…for those of you who don’t know what Sunday was it was the Superbowl…things were fantastic, my kids actually watched the game, and knew what was going on. Things were perfect, then I remembered I still don’t have a voice! I cannot cheer, shout, curse nothing at the TV, this is like having Christmas but not being able to open presents…
Needless to say I am not impressed
Paranoia
So I am not an overly paranoid person but when it comes to company layoffs I am at the top of the paranoid list…currently our company is going through the standard layoffs etc and I am totally freaking out…
I work as a process/procedure writer in a smallish team and I am one of the newest members in my group (I was transferred to my current role during a reorganization) and I am the only person on my team who really doesn’t want to be doing what it is I am doing. But to make me feel better about the change my boss assured me that I would be representing my old group for projects etc because I had the most knowledge about that team, well things are now changing and I am not being assigned the projects for my old group and being put on projects for teams I really do not understand.
The other problem is that my team works out of one office and I work out of another office because that was part of the agreement when I was transferred to that team. So I am not engaged in team meetings, I don’t have one on ones with my manager and the only time I see my team is when I make the trek down to the other office (takes me about an hour and a half to get there and about three hours to get home) and when I am there my boss does not make any extra effort to speak with me etc.
So here I sit thinking I am the next person to be laid off and really don’t have anyone to talk to about it, well except for my husband but his advice is to confront my boss and I am not a confrontational kind of girl….and while I am freaking out about losing my job I have difficulty focusing on actually doing my job and I think about my options, do I wait for the axe to fall and then look for another job or do I look for something before I get the axe???
