Getting Kicked off of PRMR

Arrrrgggg! I am so pissed right now! On Monday, I did my update on PRMR as usual. I went back Tuesday morning to check it over and found that Syd posted at 8am (5am his time) that I made mistake and he was fixing them. WTF?! Who gets up a 5am to check a game?! So anyways, because of this the Forum Hosts have decided to kick me off PRMR and make a whole new board with a whole new host account. The Forum Host zmailed me about it all full of I make mistakes, I don't get along with Syd, blah blah blah. Humans make mistakes people! I check my updates but when someone's getting up at 5am to find mistakes there's no way in hell I can find them and fix them! And I never talk to Syd, how can I get along with him or not? Holy crap I'm peeved.

On a high note I'm down .8lbs!

New Landlord

So the new landlord took over today. He's a non-smoker so now I can't smoke in the shared porch. Crap. I mean, it won't be so bad right now cause it's warm, but the winter is freaking cold! I'm gonna see about extending my back deck up to be able to put up some weather sheeting just to block out the wind.

Lee got home a whole 1/2 an hour earlier today. Said something about Monday - Friday now. So is that *this* Friday? Leslie's visiting this Friday so that would really suck. Hopefully it starts next Friday since a bunch of guys worked Sunday this week. Would be good for the pay cheque though. Especially since this landlord (Sebastian) isn't gonna be like John and let me pay over the course of the month. So hopefully all these hours will let us pay this month's rent quickly and have at least most of it for the 1st next month.

Made another chocolate banana bread today for the freezer. Used raspberry extract, goes with chocolate so why not. Think I'm gonna make Peanut Butter and Honey Muffins tomorrow. Maybe another bread-type thing too.

Brianna's home to help me tomorrow. Discovered nits in her hair tonight *sigh* So she's got a head full of Vaseline and tomorrow we'll wash it out with vinegar and pick nits. Hopefully we'll get it all in the first shot. But at least she can help me with some baking.

First Day of New Hours

Lee didn't get home til 7pm! What happened to 5am-5pm??? So he was gone yesterday for 15 hrs. And this is how it's gonna be til all VA's work is finally caught up... on TOP of doing their own work! Poor Lee! He got to take a shower, spend about 10 minutes with Olivia before she went to bed, spend about 20 with Brianna before she went to bed, on the computer for an hour then went to bed himself. Only to get up at 3am to start all over again! *sigh*

Olivia is an absolute crank today. I dunno if it's the crappy weather or what. I put her down for 2 seconds and she screams like someone ripped off her arm! Maybe it's teeth. She is walking more often now. Rather than dropping to a crawl she'll walk if it's a short distance between where she's going. And she's loving to clap now. She figured it out a few days ago and we always sing Patty Cake when she does it, she loves it!

After a week off, whole new hours....

Havn't been around since Lee had the week off last week. Got a call Saturday night though that he'll be going back to 12 hr shifts from 5am-5pm *!&@#$& The hours will certainly help with out financial situation but he'll essentially be home and awake for 3 hrs a day :(

Olivia has started walking with greater accuracy! She has walked a distance of up to 6 feet! She's soooo proud of herself too! I got a short video yesterday but am trying to get a better one, then I'll figure out how to post it here. Olivia also had her first bowl of spaghetti! Typical results lol

Brianna is doing pretty well on her behaviour chart. We're still having some issues but it is a lot better than before. She has already earned enough stars to go to the park for an hour! She'll be sleeping at Grandma's in no time!

I'm stuck at 183.2lbs. Weigh in this morning said the same as last week. I guess that's better than a gain though! I did some weight work last week but was also so busy getting ready for the mom sale! I did pretty good there too. Sold the bassinet and rocker and some other smaller things. Even got a custom cross stitch order! I'm about half done it already so the customer should be able to pick it up tomorrow!

Arrgggg!

After my "YAY Brianna" post it was discovered that she stole twice today. First I caught her stealing chocolates from my desk, then Lee discovered that she stole 2 juice boxes for school. I am so lost on this stealing thing. I *need* her to show improvements or I'm gonna start pulling out my hair!

On another crappy note... it is so freaking HOT! Lee insisted on going to feed the ducks. Well I aint gonna be doing that again when it's still 32C! We got back over an hour and a half ago and I'm finally cooling down. The upstairs must be cooling down though, Olivia only fussed a minute or 2 before going to sleep.

I *really* need to get back to my strength training. I have skipped it for the last 2-3 wks. I'm still walking (not as much cause of the heat and too dumb to think to pull down the treadmill), but of course my body is used to walking so I really need to go back to adding something else. I'm gonna do a day of legs and abs, then a day of arms and stretching, then go back. My clothes are looser and the scale is moving but I don't seem any smaller to me. Lee says he can tell but I can't.

A Pretty Good, But HOT Weekend

Haven't been here in a while but things are going pretty good.

Saturday we went to Ottawa to see Isaac. Not 5 minutes before we arrived, Olivia fell asleep in the car. So Brianna and I went a head in and mom text me to come get Olivia when she woke up. Took some new *all three of the kids* pics.

After the visit we dropped Brianna off at Gilles and went to go visit Kate. Olivia had a grand ole time playing in the dirt while Lee cringed lol She was filthy! We had Taco Bell for supper.... bad idea. Holy salt! I came home and drank about 5 glasses of water in half an hour!

Sunday promised to be a hot day. We planned to BBQ so mom and I each took out bunches of meats to throw on. Olivia had decided that grass isn't so bad and will now crawl around in it. She loved mom's water bottle and kept trying to drink from it. If you helped her, she thought it was great fun to drink the water and dribble it down herself.

After the BBQ mom took Brianna down to the park to feed some birds. Brianna was all excited to see some goslings but no ducklings yet. The seagulls got pretty close to her as she threw out the bread. Brianna got a bit of a scrape when her and Grandma were playing hip check and she fell.

Holiday Monday was even hotter. Got all the crocheted blankets for the mom sale washed and line-dried. Now just gotta finish up our cross stitching and make up some more bows.

Lee took Brianna over to the Splash Pad that opened up this weekend. She thought it was great that she could walk there in just her swimsuit. Apparently she met a bunch of her friends from school too.

We got the air conditioner in on Sunday but the upstairs is still pretty warm. Olivia is not appreciating the heat. We have her sleeping in just onsies but she's quite fussy at night because of the heat. She's also quite clingy during the day. I'm hoping she pops some teeth as a result of this!

Brianna did pretty good behaviour wise this weekend. She got all 3 stars on Saturday, picked a fight with Lee on Sunday so only got 2 stars, but again got all 3 stars on Monday! YAY Brianna!

And just a funny shot of Olivia being silly with puffs in her hair lol

GOOOOOOOOAL!!!!!

Wooooooooooooo me! I hit an surpassed my 10lb goal by .4lbs! I am sooooooooo excited! So now I'm set up with my new goal of 5lbs by Father's Day.

Lee installed the new washer and dryer today. The washer actually has a working hot water hose so I can once again separate my clothes and wash my whites in HOT! Woooooooo! And even though it was a nice day I had to do one load in the dryer just to see how it works. Lee started calling it a piece of junk cause the cycle was almost over and the clothes were still wet and it seemed there was very little heat. Crap. So I fiddled with the settings and found one that works! Lots of heat and perfectly dry clothes YAY!

Brianna had a fairly decent day. Picked a stupid fight with Lee over wiping up a mess she made. Why do kids pick the hard way?! It would have been sooooo much easier just to clean up the mess she made, properly, the first time! She's having a sleep over with Grandma tonight. I know, I know, she hasn't hit 50 stars yet, but it was a planned event.

Lee's on vacation! I get him for a whole week now! We can't really afford for him to take time off, but I do love when he's here. Where's that winning lotto ticket?

I finally got around to cleaning out the toy room. Got rid of 1 big bag of garbage and to big bags of stuff for the Agape. Looks soooo nice in there now! Tomorrow when we get home from Ottawa I'm getting Brianna to go through the stuff I left behind and take out anything she's not playing with. We're also getting rid of the air hockey table. She loved/s playing with the one at our visits with Isaac but so rarely plays with ours so GONE! It'll be nice to have that space. It's not huge but it would be an extra 4x3 feet! YAY!
