FUCK YOU FRIDAYS!

I am not that upset this week. I have started to accept the fact that some things will never be the way I want them to. (OMG! Does that mean I am growing up?) I found this and I think it what has helped me. We can all use this once in a while. Happy Friday everyone! Have a few drinks and relax for me.

FRIDAYS ARE A BUSY DAY!

It is WEAR RED FRIDAY! Please support our troops.

Oh, well imagine As I'm pacing the pews in a church corridor And I can't help but to hear No, I can't help but to hear an exchanging of words "What a beautiful wedding What a beautiful wedding," says a bridesmaid to a waiter "And, yes, but what a shame What a shame the poor groom's bride is a whore." I chime in with a "Haven't you people ever heard of closing a goddamn door?" No, it's much better to face these kinds of things with a sense of poise and rationality I chime in "Haven't you people ever heard of closing a goddamn door?" No, it's much better to face these kinds of things with a sense of Oh, well in fact Well I'll look at it this way I mean, technically, our marriage is saved Well this calls for a toast So pour the champagne Oh, well in fact Well I'll look at it this way I mean, technically, our marriage is saved Well this calls for a toast So pour the champagne, pour the champagne I chime in with a "Haven't you people ever heard of closing a goddamn door?" No, it's much better to face these kinds of things with a sense of poise and rationality I chime in "Haven't you people ever heard of closing a goddamn door?" No, it's much better to face these kinds of things with a sense of poise and rationallity Again I chime in "Haven't you people ever heard of closing a goddamn door?" No, it's much better to face these kinds of things with a sense of poise and rationality I chime in "Haven't you people ever heard of closing a goddamn door?" No, it's much better to face these kinds of things with a sense of poise and rationality Again

Happy HNT!

I am kind of out of ideas this week. This was the best I could do. Happy HNT!

ALLOW ME A MINUTE HERE PLEASE

I don't normally get too political here but a few things have happened recently that I feel I need to rant about. If you aren't interested in my political opinion, then I suggest you might want to skip today's rant. That being said, here goes.

Canadian Sentinel brought my attention to this little gem. Maybe I am naive but I thought the purpose of the UN was to promote peace between nations. I thought they were to remain neutral kind of like the courts. I guess I was wrong. The UN has been posting information about the Israeli troops and their positions and strategic information for the world to see. How can they do that in good concience? It makes my blood boil. If they did that about American troops,for example, there would not be a safe place for them to hide. Do they feel that since it is Israel it is okay? Where is the outcry? If you want, you can read the whole article here

My next little rant involves a local newspaper reporter. I won't mention his name because I refuse to give him any publicity whatsoever. We have always been on opposite sides of an issue. For example, he has a very big hatred of our local police force. I on the other hand have had nothing but good experiences with our police force. They have always been good to me and I support them wholeheartedly. This little rant involves "Wear Red Fridays". You all know how I feel about that. I support it. I feel that while the troops may not see the public wearing red, their families do and perhaps it will bring them some comfort to know that we understand the sacrifices made by both the soldiers and their families. This reporter has taken Red Fridays and turned it into something else. He is trying to tell people that by participating in Red Friday, putting a yellow ribbon on your car, or putting yellow ribbons on the lightposts, you are not supporting the troops. What it means is that you support the war. He once again misses the point. These men and women have seen things that you and I hope we never have to see or experience. Whether you support war or not, the point is to show these people that we understand them and their sacrifices and we thank them for it. To try and turn it into something it isn't makes me crazy. I am a stubbon person by nature. This reporters little campaign will not work on me. I am more determined than ever to wear red on fridays. I hope you do too.

Thus concludes my rant for the day. Thanks for listening.

HOW COME NO ONE EVER TOLD ME?

How come no one ever told me this whole grown up thing would suck so much. I am tired of being the grown up. Worrying about money, children, the general state of the world, blah, blah, blah. That is how I feel blah. I was supposed to lose two of the kids I take care of. The mother gave me notice FOUR MONTHS AGO! Now it looks like she still doesn't have alternative care arranged. She asked if she could bring them back. They are sweet kids, but I was looking forward to having a little break. I would only have one full time girl. I could swim once a week. Take the little girl all kinds of places. I could take more classes and finnish early. My work day would be done at 5 not 6:30 or 7:00. When you start at 6:30am, it makes for a long day of people demanding things of you. I haven't given the mom an answer yet. I haven't made up my mind. Yes, I do need the money, but at what cost? I just can't make up my mind. Plus, when I FINALLY get surgery, I can't watch three 2 year olds. That is just too much on this old body. I just don't know what to do.....

GETTING MY HEAD ON STRAIGHT

I am holidays now. Hooray!!! To celebrate, I am going away with my parents for a few days. In case you were wondering, I am not going to fall off the face of the earth just yet. I just need some time and space to get my head on straight. Thanks to everyone who sent their good wishes. I appreciate it. Hopefully when I get back, I will have a sunnier outlook on life. Sorry I will miss HNT and Fuck you! Friday this week. I will make it up next week. Thanks for checking in. See you all soon. REMEMBER TO WEAR RED ON FRIDAY.

Fade to Black

I think it is time for me to disappear. Just fall off the face of the earth. I am too tired to fight anymore. I fought for as long as I could but life won. I am just not strong enough.

You know I hurt myself again. I get no help from anyone. My husband is mad because of the money we were spending on Physio and medication. He is angry that I couldn't do everything. He is mad because I needed crutches and I needed a brace for my knee. He is mad because when I fell again, I didn't hurt myself more. He says if I hurt myself more, maybe I could have gotten surgery then gotten it all over with. He was attentive to me when we had to spend the weekend with his family, but as soon as we got home things changed. I asked him to drive me to drop off tickets for the team for the ball game. He told me since I can walk, I can drive myself. Then he got mad at me because I tried to walk to the bank and couldn't do it. He kept making comments about how I couldn't even walk right. I am too tired to fight anymore. Tuesday, my daughter's baseball team was to go to the Goldeyes game. Her team got to go onto the field with the Goldeyes. She got her hat signed by a player and got to stand with the team for the national anthem. What should have been the happiest night of her life did not end happy. As we were leaving there was a group of twentysomethings ahead of us. They were pushing each other and goofing around. One of them, hit my daughter. He looked and laughed. Now my daughter is in tears and my husband is furious. He pushed the guy and told him to appologize to my daughter. He refused and asked my husband what his problem was. M told him exactly what the problem was and what he had done to our daughter. The guy still refused to appologize. M pushed him again. Then his friends got into it. They started yelling at my husband and now my other daughter is terrified. She is screaming and the other one is crying and they still won't say he is sorry. Finally I got M to walk away. What a way to ruin an evening. The girls couldn't sleep that night and now my daughter has a bruise and a scrape on her chest where she was hit. I should have called the cops and had him charged. Now my anxiety is through the roof. I should have done more to protect my child. I just can't do anything right. I give up.

Fade to black.

I feel like I am all alone in the world. I didn't think I was a terrible person, but apparently I am. My neighbor sure didn't like me. I was outside with my husband, we were doing the same thing the neighbor was. Trying to fight off a huge infestation of wasps. My husband said "Look, C is outside trying to do the same thing we are" I was standing beside my husband at the time. I said "It is the new form of entertainment in the neighborhood" C looked over and said " Hi, M how are you doing?" He never once acknowledged me.What the fuck did I ever do to him. I know his wife hated me. Remember when she came over to complain because my kids were fighting on the lawn? Plus, she would never speak to me. We saw her at a local restaurant on Wed. She just walked right past us. When I went up to pay, she was right beside us. She turned and walked away.

My husband has no use for me, the neighbors hate me, my cat doesn't even like me. My so called best friend will never go out of his way to help me. He swore he would be there if I ever needed him but guess what. He wasn't. When I went to hospital, I asked him to come. He refused. He always had an excuse why he could never be there if I needed him.

I felt so beat up. I just can't fight anymore. Worse yet, I don't think I care to. I think I will just let it all fade to black.

Take care all....

MILK SURFING, THE NEW OLYMPIC SPORT

Here we are again. Anyone interested in learning what I did on Friday?

I tried to milk surfing on my kitchen floor.I guess I am not very good. Who knew? The twins I look after had spilled their milk on the kitchen floor. So silly me thought it would be a good idea to clean it up. As I walked over to clean it up, I slipped on it and went for a little ride. Keep in mind, the gophers already tried to punnish me. I twisted my knee even more. I landed myself in the hospital emergency room.

The bright side of it is that I only had to wait an hour as oppossed to the usual 12 hours. My doctor was very nice looking too so it wasn't all bad. I am now on heavy duty pain killers. They also gave me crutches. Let's assess this for a minute. I ended up in this mess because I cannot walk on my own two feet. The solution? Give me drugs and two more feet to deal with. Does this sound like a disaster in the making to anyone else? Too bad this didn't bump up my surgery date at all.

I hope you all had a better weekend.

Don't panic. This is just a test. I want too see if those stupid paragraphs work now.

Ready? Let's see what happens. I am sure it is a simple problem, but since I am simple minded it is a little hard for me. Let's check it out.

FUCK YOU! FRIDAYS

This is dedicated to all of us suckers who have classes all summer! Thank God I have a little break now. Please remember is it also Red Friday. Wear Red and support our troops!

CHANGE IS GOOD

I keep telling myself change is good. I changed the template here because I could not for the life of me get the paragraphs to work on the other template. Being a complete computer idiot, I am sure there is a simple fix to it but damned if I could figure it out. I hope this works better Keep your finger crossed. If it doesn't work, I will beg for suggestions on how to fix it. update***** Okay that didn't work. Help please. I am begging you. I am ready to throw a chair through the computer. Save my computer.

RED FRIDAYS

Proud to be a Soldier !!! From the daughter of a Soldier..Last week I was in Trenton, Ontario. attending a conference. While I was in the airport, returning home, I heard several people behind me beginning to clap and cheer. I immediately turned around and witnessed one of the greatest act's of patriotism I have ever seen.Moving thru the terminal was a group of soldiers in their camo's, as they began heading to their gate everyone (well almost everyone) was abruptly to their feet with their hands waving and cheering. When I saw the soldiers, probably 30-40 of them, being applauded and cheered for it hit me. I'm not alone. I'm not the only red blooded Canadian who still loves this country and supports our troops and their families. Of course I immediately stopped and began clapping for these young unsung heroes who are putting their lives on the line everyday for us so we can go to school, work and home without fear or reprisal. Just when I thought I could not be more proud of my country or of our service men and women a young girl, not more than 6 or 7 years old, ran up to one of the male soldiers. He kneeled down and said "hi," the little girl then she asked him if he would give something to her daddy for her. The young soldier, he didn't look any older than maybe 22 himself, said he would try and what did she want to give to her daddy. Then suddenly the little girl grabbed the neck of this soldier, gave him the biggest hug she could muster and then kissed him on the cheek.The mother of the little girl, who said her daughters name was Courtney, told the young soldier that her husband was a Corporal and had been in Afghanistan for 11 months now . As the mom was explaining how much her daughter, Courtney, missed her father, the young soldier began to tear up. When this temporarily single mom was done explaining her situation, all of the soldiers huddled together for a brief second. Then one of the other servicemen pulled out a military looking walkie- talkie. They started playing with the device and talking back and forth on it.After about 10-15 seconds of this, the young soldier walked back over to Courtney, bent down and said this to her, "I spoke to your daddy and he told me to give this to you." He then hugged this little girl that he had just met and gave her a kiss on the cheek. He finished by saying "your daddy told me to tell you that he loves you more than anything and he is coming home very soon."The mom at this point was crying almost uncontrollably and as the young soldier stood to his feet he saluted Courtney and her mom. I was standing no more than 6 feet away from this entire event unfolded. As the soldiers began to leave, heading towards their gate, people resumed their applause. As I stood there applauding and looked around, their were very few dry eyes, including my own. That young soldier in one last act of selflessness, turned around and blew a kiss to Courtney with a tear rolling down his cheek.We need to remember everyday all of our soldiers and their families and thank God for them and their sacrifices. At the end of the day, it's good to be a Canadian.Red FridayJust keeping you "in the

loop" so you'll know what's going on in case this takes off.

• RED FRIDAYS ----- Very soon, you will see a great many people wearing Red every Friday. The reason? Canadian who support our troops used to be called the "silent majority". We are no longer silent, and are voicing our love for God, country and home in record breaking numbers. We are not organized, boisterous or over-bearing. We get no liberal media coverage on TV, to reflect our message or our opinions.Many Canadians, like you, me and all our friends, simply want to recognize that the vast majority of Canada supports our troops. Our idea of showing solidarity and support for our troops with dignity and respect starts this Friday -and continues each and every Friday until the troops all come home, sending a deafening message that.. Every red-blooded Canadian who supports our men and women afar will wear something red.By word of mouth, press, TV -- let's make the Canada on every Friday a sea of red much like a homecoming football game in the bleachers.If every one of us who loves this country will share this with acquaintances, co-workers, friends, and family. It will not be long before Canada is covered in RED and it will let our troops know the once "silent" majority is on their side more than ever, certainly more than the media lets on.The first thing a soldier says when asked "What can we do to make things better for you?" is...We need your support and your prayers.Let's get the word out and lead with class and dignity, by example; and wear something red every Friday.
• IT IS YOUR CHOICE.THEIR BLOOD RUNS RED---- SO WEAR RED! --- Lest we Forget, Lest we Forget. HAVE A GREAT DAY! * This was forwarded to me by email. Please keep it going.

I know fridays are also FUCK YOU! FRIDAYS, but please support our troops too!

BEDTIME FOR GUTTERGIRL

This bed just makes me want to climb into it for about a week. I am exhausted! Thank God the busiest part of the summer is over for me. Whew! The girls had their 9th birthday on the weekend. My mom and I took 10 kids to the movies. We saw Barnyard. The kids all seemed to enjoy it. I related to the nosey neighbor in the movie. Her one line was " I am not crazy. I am just heavily medicated for a chemical imbalance!" THAT is something I can relate to. Then the girls had two friends sleep over. I am so happy that is over for another year. My class is over now too. I have a break from school until the middle of September. Hooray! I should find out my final grade in about a week. The exam wasn't too hard, but my presentation didn't go as well as I had hoped. Oh well. It is over, that is the important thing. Baseball is over for the boy. The girl still has one more thing to do with baseball. We have a Northern League baseball team here. The Winnipeg Goldeyes have a program called the baseball buddies. Basically, a child's ball team gets to go out onto the field and stand with a player during the national anthems. They are introduced individually as they run out onto the field. Their player then signs a picture for them. It is very exciting. Here is the problem. I am in charge of getting all the tickets ordered, the information sent to the Goldeyes and collect all the money. I told parents I needed all of that by July 15. It is now August 8th and I am still trying to collect all the money. It has to be in this week. I cannot cover all the tickets myself. I am a little pissed at irresponsible parents right now. It is not like tickets are expensive. They are only $5 each. However, I cannot pay for 63 tickets myself. What can you do? Tonight we are going to see my husband's cousin and his wife. She is terminally ill. I guess the end is coming soon. Of all his relatives, she is my favorite. We are alot alike. I will miss her so much. In the losing battle against aging, I tried a new cream on my face this weekend. Big mistake. Turns out I had an allergic reaction to it. Now you can no longer see any lines in my face because it is so swollen, you can only see two slits where my eyes used to be and a line where my mouth should be. Not a pretty sight. I guess wrinkles are an improvement. Did I mention it is really itchy. I can't take anything for it because of the pain killers I am on for my knee. If I was a horse you would have to shoot me. I am glad my holidays are coming soon. I don't think I could take much more of the lazy days of summer. They might kill me.

Fuck you ! Fridays

This giant fuck you is not a happy one. Pedophiles make my blood boil. There is not enough punishment in the world for these monsters. My heart, thoughts and prayers are with the families of these boys. I hope they heal and find some comfort. Please join me in giving a huge FUCK YOU to pedophiles and the legal system that lets these scum walk among us.

SOMETHING TO REMEMBER

I am going to add this one to my life mottos Women and cats will do as they please, and men and dogs should get used to the idea. ****

THIS IS IN HONOR OF MY TWIN GIRL'S BIRTHDAY THIS WEEKEND!
