Well....we went to the Maple Ridge SPCA today....we were recommended by the "Cross Our Paws" people. There is a lovely German Shorthaired Pointer there....and she has been placed 3 times...poor thing.

She has been returned because of separation anxiety....she does not like to be left alone. She was wonderful. We took her for a walk and played in the park with her. Iain LOVES her, and she is wonderful. Chris and Sherry and most likely Doug are going to go see her tomorrow morning (with Iain). I want her...BUT....I don't know if I am ready. I am nervous you know??...I like things the way they are, and with getting a dog, it is one more life I am responsible for. Sure Chris can take her for her power runs in the daytime, and we could do the walks in the evening...but I get home late enough as it is....sooooo I am not too sure. I think I am just scared or something....not sure, but we will see what Chris and his parents think.

It was funny because I was saying things like: It would be perfect to get her now because I will be off for 2 week and could really spend time with her...BUT we are going away the next week so the is just not fair"....and they (Doug and Sherry) would say..."Oh well you know, we could take care of her, we are usually home" Or I would say, Ya Chris leaves at 1:30 and I don't get home until 6:00 so that is a long time for her to be alone...and Sherry would say " Oh well you know, I could just keep her upstairs or leave the door open when you are gone".

Very sweet that they would like to help so much.....it does sound great....but I am still scared. Why? I dunno....not sure at all why. I do want her....but I just don't know if I am ready.

Okay...and on that note....Iain's last day of school (and last day at Kanaka Creek) was today. He did AWESOME. I really was expecting many many tears...but nope, not one...he is a bit sad...but he did really well. Alex's last day at Kid Zone is tomorrow....we shall see how that goes. After that...it will be 5 more sleeps and they are off to the big TO.

Right....that is me done...have a good night...and chat again some time soon.

Question: Why am I able to comment on some people's bogs...but not others?
Some of them tell me to sign in with my MSN something something...and I don't think I have that....hmm

Okay....so again with the suckage...but I do have some stuff to share.

I was in the running for a Team Leader job at work....and I honestly thought I completely and utterly bombed it...BUT turns out I was only 2.5 marks away from passing. I went for my individual feedback and we super poured over the exam to try and find those 2.5 marks....we found 1/2 mark BUT the last 2 were not to be found....**sigh** I lost out by 2 little teenie tiny marks...booohooo.

Now...on to serious things...seriously....why oh why...WHY do periods have to be soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo freakin painful???? UH I cannot believe it right now!!! I never went through this BEFORE I had kids...so what up? It is like an evil, cruel, monster jumping into my body and torturing it...(poor body - it cannot get to my mind, cuz I think I lost that back in grade 8 or 9).....please please please make it stop....oh and why do they say MEN are the stronger sex anyway....can any of THEM bleed for a week and still live??? I don't think so.....but don't tempt me....in this state I am up for a challenge....MEN...any takers???????....yah so like I git the whole "cleansing your system thing" but who asked ME if I wanted it cleaned out? I'm good....maybe I want to clean it out when I'm good and ready....man....worse than my mom telling me to clean my room....and WHY do we crave salt and chocolate when our "friend" comes to town (okay I crave those on any good day anyway...but I'm rambling here....) I always know it is coming on when I need need need SALT and CHOCOLATE...and yes even together.

....and speaking of working out....how PEEVED am I to read this stupid study that some stupid scientists decided they needed to test.....so the half hour power circuit that I do with the kids apparently does NOTHING to help me lose weight!!!! Oh sure it helps with the fitness level...but who cares about that???? So we apparently need a minimum of 55 minutes 5 days a week!!!! WHO ASKED THEM ANYWAY?????????

Right...sorry about that...I think I feel better now....I gotta....go wash something.

Good Morning Everyone;

Okay so far I am sucking at keeping up my blog...sorry. To be honest, I keep forgetting. Oh well, I'm here now so I guess I will post.

Hmmm....not really too sure what to say....I am freaking out cuz my babies are going away without us in 8 days....oh man that is coming up fast!!!

Not really much else for now, I must hop in shower and head to work...but maybe...just maybe, something fun and interesting will happen on my way to work....then I can say (cuz I have always wanted to say)....a funny thing happened to me on my way to work....

Now I must go forth and find that funny thing....or strange....that works too.
K...all you all have a great day...and I will try to remember to blog today.

Cioa for now

Hello all you peeps in Blog land...I forgot completely to look on blog yesterday...and now I am waiting to the very last second tonight. I told myself I was going to be in bed by 8:30!!! HA right!!! It is now 9:30pm....sheesh man!!

Okay, super quick blip on our latest adventure...Chris..my ever loving husband...has decided that he wants a dog now...AND so does Iain....yes the two who said not so very long ago..."Mommy, we cannot get a dog until all the cats are dead!"

Uhm...I still see 3 cats...unless they are ghosts or something....am I missing something here? Iya!!

So now he (Chris) has me looking at this site called Cross Our Paws.....soooooooo not a good site for me to be looking at!!! I need to have all yes ALL of those sweet babies on that site. Their writer is AMAZING at ripping out the ol heart strings that is for sure!!

Anyway, so we are now in the process of filling in their application form, and we are hoping to have a new family member some time in the next month or so...(I think we need to wait until we have come back from Las Vegas to be fair to the dog)

Okay, that is me...done for the night...

Oh, Carole, I am a stunned bunny....I read your blog on Oma, but somehow managed to comment on your blog about phone calls....hey at least I'm reading them...I'll catch on some day....no really I will.

Love you all
Ronnie

Okay...Here We Goooo

Right, so, I have had nothing but flak from you crazy blogger type peeps....okay that is not entirely true...actually it isn't even remotely true...but I had to open with something.

I am giving this a try...please do not expect miracles first off....but I will try to keep up, honest.

So what do people talk about anyway...my day to day life is sooooooooooooooooooooooo not interesting...and that is one of the reasons I have been delayed in making a blog thing. The other reason of course is sheer laziness....hey, I can admit it....

I do have some news to share. The kids are off to Toronto on August 6th (on their own) for 3 weeks....eeep I know at first it will be like..."Sshhhh do you hear that? Nothingness....aaaahhhh" BUT after a while, I might just miss the little boogs.

While the kids are away....the parents will play....and what better place to play than..."Sin City"? That's right boys and girls...we is headed to Vegas on August 11 to the 15th....this will be our first vacation alone (together...if that makes sense) for oooh, I'm going to say....10 years!!! WOW!!!

Okay, well I guess that is it for now...I must to bed now...4:50am comes too early these days. (but then you new moms...and all moms, and even the new dads and all dads {think I am covered now} know all about being up early)

Night night all

Get OFF!!!!

OK my husband is a knob!

go back to playing with your little toys... geek
