too tired to sleep....

Well, I haven't posted in a few days because my life has been absolute chaos.....my in-laws had thier wedding vow renewal tonight and (like any Scadian before an event) got exactly 3.5 hours of sleep last night, I worked 9-4 yesterday, ran errands, got home, cooked dinner, picked up my shoes for the wedding, went to the rehersal, then Paul went with his Dad and brother to play pool, while myself and James went to Paul's step-sister's house to finish sewing the bridesmaid dresses, one of the little boy's suits and put together the favors (bundles of fresh herbs) Before you think that that was all work and no play......we also drank wine, ate snacks and watched Pirates of the Caribean (Jack Sparrow.....AWWW YEAH!!!) So I left there after midnight, came home put James to bed, went to the grocery store, got sugar and shortening (yeah I know.....I'm short enough already....LOL!!) and then proceeded to make the wedding cakes (yes, I am insane) I got to bed at about 4:30 this morning and had to be up for 8am as I had to work 9-1pm, after work I had to come home and get the cakes and all my stuff and me to Kate's house, where we were all getting ready. Had about an hour of relax time when I was looking after my baby niece, Jordan , while everyone else went to the hairdressers.....she is such a little cutie! :0) Anyways, needless to say I have NO idea how I am even managing to keep my eyes open, let alone type coherently....so I am going to have a hot bath now. Goodnight everyone! Oh, by the way, the College phoned yesterday....I'm officially in Culinary Management! Yay!!

Yawn....

Well, we're all full of weird changes today....

Hey! What happened to my blog???? It has changed and I am not quite sure if I like it or not......:0(

And yet another curve thrown by the Universe....Noreen at the college called and told me that Hotel Management (the course I was enrolled in) has been cancelled this year due to lack of enrollment. I asked if she could enroll me in Culinary Management (as they have a common 1st year) and she informed me that the class was currently full....I am however 1st on the waiting list and she is very optimistic that I will get in....even if it means adding one extra seat to the course...I am going to let the Universe have it's way with me on this one....and see where it leads me....kinda scary though!

I'll keep ya'll posted

Wheeee! I actually exercised today!

I walked and ran for about a half and hour, each block alternating walking and running...I had James with me though, and he was NOT thrilled with the running bit, as his legs were already sore, and he has skateboard shoes, not running shoes. As a result, I will run alone tommorrow....probably in the early morning, before I go to work. I also attempted meditation this morning for about 10 minutes (not sure if I am doing it right, but it felt good :0)

well...time to go to bed now!

peace and happy dreams!

Is it bedtime yet?

I thought I had better catch up on my posting and let everyone know what has been going on lately in my life. Really it has been pretty quiet on the home front, just work, home and that's about it....we are gearing up for Paul's Dad and Stepmom renewing thier wedding vows to celebrate thier 20th anniversary. We are making dresses and buying ties and I am making the wedding cake (or is that re-wedding cake?). It will take place on July 31st in the evening at thier church. I dyed Chris's(Paul's stepmom) hair last night over at Kate's (Paul's stepsister) and we hung out and made plans and it was a lot of fun! I have a tentative schedule for school in the fall...it looks pretty good as I only have one full day (Thurs.) from 8am to 4pm. The rest of days seem to only go till noon or so...I'm sure there is a catch though....:0) I am really tired so I am going to bed now!

Peace and serenity

Have a great day!

Bleah

It's day one...need I say more? (I don't, but I'm gonna anyways...) I am going to eat everything in the house and then go to bed...it is too damn hot and humid out and my tummy hurts....(and no, NOT from eating everything in the house....that is in fact the ONLY reason that I am NOT eating everything in the house...grrrr!) I am ordering Combat Conditioning and Combat Abs tommorrow and then ***poof*** I will be skinny and fit and beautiful.....NOT! But we are all going to do it (James included) so with time, hard work and a little (cause that's all I got) willpower, we should see some positive results.

Maybe tommorrow will be less crabby,

I am changing my name........

I am changing my name to Tiffany, putting on some lipgloss and taking the next flight out of this hell hole to an exclusive tropical island (with NO bugs...except maybe butterflies) reserved for women who JUST CAN'T TAKE IT ANYMORE!!!!! Here, the weather will be warm, with a cool breeze all day and a little cooler at night to sleep....yes..to really truly sleep and not get up till I am darn well good and ready. There will be chauffers to take me shopping (and oh! what shopping with unlimited cash!!) and to dinner (5 star all the way, and healthy too!) and to the beach etc....There will be a full service spa, for daily massage therapy, manicures, pedicures, painless waxing (they have discovered the secret here), facials and hair styling and all that other stuff. No phones, no CNN, no dirty dishes...sounds like paradise....wait...it gets even better, each women will get her own personal assistant, personal trainer (to her own specifications...nudge nudge...wink wink) :0) personal chef and personal maid. The scenery will be breathtaking with the peaceful sounds of tropical birds and the ocean to restore each woman back to sanity. So Bon Voyage my friends....I am outta here....wheeeee heee heeee heee!!!

Damn, I can't find my ticket...I know I left it on the table...wait! I don't have a passport...hmmm I'm sure I'll need a passport...and I bet that the butterflies are poisonous....probably have big fangs...eeeep! I still have to make supper, and do the dishes...poop...I don't have enough gas to get to the airport.....****sigh**** I guess I will just have a bath and go to bed...so I guess I will talk at ya all tommorrow!

Love Tiffany :0)

Just a day......

Not much to say today...did some laundry, did a little cooking, had a shower, went to work (soooooo dead!), went and picked up James, came home, put James to bed and here I am!

Oh ya, we had a really big thunderstorm this afternoon with lots of hail and torrential downpour!

I have a day off tommorrow, so I am going to work, cleaning with my friend Kathy all day....sigh...no rest for the wicked eh? :0)

If you love someone set them free.......

Well, I did it...I gave him (my Dad) his apartment keys back this afternoon. Now it's time to breathe deep, and concentrate on letting go...(not as easy as some might think...)My Nana (my mother's mother) lives in the same building as he does and when I go there, I am reminded. On the bright side (as she does a manic flip)I got off work early today and am supposed to be doing the dishes *grinning sheepishly* Well, I'll get to it...eventually.

peace and serenity

a new day

Hey all, I have had a rough couple of days...my emotions have been up and down, I have felt anxious in the pit of my stomach, I have been less than patient and kind with my husband and my son, hell...I have even cursed at my cats....(and of course, being perfect, they deserve FAR better treatment) and you know why I have been so out of sorts? Those who know me well, can probably guess...It's the whole situation with my Dad that is affecting my life. He has been on a drunk for a few weeks now, and is mad at Paul because I sent him up to check on the cat (whom he sometimes forgets to feed if he is out drinking) He said that it is his business and not ours, and Paul said something like "maybe it is the Humane Society's business...." (or something to that effect, but he didn't actually phone) Well now he is offended and is demanding his keys back, phoning 5 or 6 times a day at home, on the cell phone and at my work. He is abusive and obnoxious and I usually just hang up on him. This is the problem....I don't want to give him the keys back because A) he is going to give them to the drunk tramp that he has been keeping company with lately. and B) because in the event of an emergency (fairly likely) I couldn't get in to help him.
I KNOW my not wanting to give the keys back is not going to change anything, it is not going to make him stop drinking, it's not going to prevent that tramp from visiting him....so what I am saying is that I have to let go....give him back the keys and let things happen as they may...'cause I can't live like this anymore. I am really scared to do this, that if I do it and then something bad happens, I will never forgive myself. So today is a day for letting go...I will give him back his keys today, let go, and let things take their course. I cannot control this...
I have found a list of local alanon meetings and one alateen meeting and James and I are going to start going to them.

Peace and serenity to all,

Bou
