Today we had a pretty full day. We were at the dance competition all day and it definitely felt like a long one that’s for sure!! My daughter had three dances. There was a pretty long break in between her first dance and the last two. We probably could have driven home, but that’s an extra hour and a half of driving, to be home for a few hours in the afternoon. There were some dances that she wanted to watch anyway, do we decided to stay. I’m super exhausted though. I have a bad headache again too. It reappeared late afternoon and gradually got worse as the day wore on. They play the music super loud there, which certainly doesn’t help!! My daughter danced well today. She had her solo this morning and ballet and lyrical this afternoon. There were a lot of silvers going around today! We even heard a bronze – which is pretty rare indeed! My daughter received three silvers today. At this competition that means they had a score between 80-84. The judges start you at 100 and gradually deduct points from your score. The number they end up with is your score. There are three judges, so each of the scores are added up and divided by three to get your final score. The teachers are given the judges sheets at the end. That way they can see exactly what the score is and what the deductions were, as well as any comments or suggestions that the judges may have added. Once the teacher has looked it over, they generally go over it with the class. It helps them know what they should be working on to improve their performance. It’s going to be a long one again tomorrow. We have a break again, after her morning class, but I don’t think it’s worth going home. That will be an exciting birthday right?! Oh well. You do what you gotta do. Until then, Night all! 💤😴

Last Competition Of The Season

Man do I ever have a bad headache right now!! It hurts so much. All around my eyes and into my temples. It’s just pounding! Nothing I’ve taken has helped. I just need to lie down. Consequently, this will likely be a short post. I can’t even focus on anything, including what I’m writing.

We were at a dance competition for the majority of the day today. On our way to the competition, we stopped at La Senza. They had a big wheel that you spin on your way in, for certain coupons. They let us each spin it. We received a coupon for one regular bra and a pair of underwear for $30.00, plus a coupon for 8 pairs of underwear for $30. So we were able to buy a bra that works better and actually provides support when she’s dancing. It was a long time coming!! Once we got to the competition and she did her first dance, I could tell right away that she was wearing a better bra! She had three dances today, modern, hip hop and lyrical line. She received a silver in modern and gold in hip hop and lyrical line. They did well. I think the judges are pretty fair. I don’t prefer the long wait until adjudication. Instead of having small amount of numbers in each category, they have 2.5 hour long sessions, with a a variety of dance styles tone session had one session that had lyrical, modern/contemporary, jazz, hip hop, musical theatre, variety. It was a bit crazy. Once the adjudication starts i find it really difficult to remember to some of the earlier numbersr. Oh well. There’s nothing that I can do about it. Every competition does it differently. Okay. I’m falling asleep as I write this post. I keep closing eyes and drifting off. Tomorrow morning we have to leave early in the morning. Yuck!! Okay.,. I have to stop writing! This is getting ridiculous and if we have to leave around 7:45-8:00am. Again I say yuck!!!! Anywho I’m going to go now! Until tomorrow…Night all! 💤😴

A Gorgeous Day

Today was a beautiful day! It was pretty windy, but nice out. I planted my tomatoe plants in big pots and I planted a variety of flowers in different pots on our back deck. Hopefully they work. I can’t really afford to buy flowers that are ready to go – I have to use seeds and Hope for the best. There’s definitely a lot of satisfaction when they work out and you planted them as seeds! I guess time will tell. We definitely get a lot of Sunni our back yard, it faces south – so we get all of the daytime sunlight in the back and our front is shadowed for most of the day. Last year I planted seeds as well, but I did it too late in the season for them to do very well. By the time they started growing, it was the fall. This year I hopefully did it early enough.

My oldest isn’t feeling well today and stayed home from work. Then around 12:45 my younger daughter texted me from school, because she had a migraine. She went to school with a bit of a headache and I was afraid that it would get worse. Her French PAT (Provincial Achievement Test) was this morning. So, she stayed for the test, then texted me and I went and picked her up from school. I’m hoping that she feels okay tomorrow, because her final dance competition of the season begins tomorrow. She’s already missing school for the competition, it’s too bad that she had to come home this afternoon. At least my son has gone to school the past couple of days. His cough is almost gone.

After driving my daughter to dance today we went to my mom and dad’s. They got back in town yesterday. They weren’t here for my son’s birthday, so they wanted to see them and he wanted their birthday present (of course he did, he’s 7!!) They got him a couple of hockey sticks, with some balls and pylons to play hockey outside. They also bought him a set of two nerf guns that he really really wanted!! Goodness do they ever shoot with some power behind them! I told him, adamantly, that these are for shooting at targets and things, not people! I think that they’d have a bit of a bite if they hit you! We couldn’t believe how far they went.

After supper we played a quick game of spoons and had some coffee. Then we had to come home, because my oldest had a dr’s appointment this evening that we had to get to. My hubby was home from Brandon when we got back, yay! We dropped off my son and I took her to her appointment. Afterwards I had to pick up my prescriptions. My expensive ones. They were each around $100.00. One of them is just really darn expensive all of the time. If we didn’t have coverage, it would’ve cost around $590.00!!! Insane that they can charge that much! The other one usually has a generic brand, but they are on back order until the fall. So, they wanted me to pay an extra $100.00 for the name brand. I said only if my insurance will cover it. They had already called my insurance company and I got a maybe, (they’d rather cover the cost of the generic, because it’s cheaper for them. They will usually cover the name brand ones if that is the only one available.) so they called again. They said that they’d cover it, but I’d have to pay up front sand get reimbursed. So crazy! So I spent a bunch of money on prescriptions tonight. I just don’t get how expensive they are. We even have good coverage! Well, I have them now, which is what matters I guess. I still have that about to get sick 😷 feeling still, so I’m going to go to bed now. Tomorrow will be a long day! Night all! 💤😴

Oilers Lose ☹️

The Oilers lost tonight 2 – 1…BooHoo😞. Pretty disappointing. They were up in the beginning, but couldn’t hold their lead. It was difficult to watch. Especially how many chances they had in the third period. I guess sometimes it’s skill, but sometimes there’s some blind luck involved. The close shots that sometimes go in and sometimes don’t. Tonight we had a night where they didn’t. Too bad. I guess they’re out of the playoffs. No more hockey until the regular season is back on. At least I don’t have to go through the anxiety and disappointment anymore. I get myself so invested in the game and feel crushed when they lose. I no longer have to worry about that!!

I have a headache and feel like I might be getting sick. My nose is tickling and I’m sniffling. There’s a dance competition this weekend and it’s going to be busy. I don’t want to get sick! I painted my toenails hot-pink today, while watching Modern Family. There were some good episodes today! Very entertaining. I didn’t get my tomatoe plants planted today, like I wanted to. It was the one thing on my “to do” list that I really intended to do. I totally lost track of time this afternoon. I felt like I blinked and it was time to get the kids from school. My hubby is out of town, again for work. My daughter and son are in bed with me, sleeping beside me right now. She’s talking in her sleep right now and it’s cute and funny. Sometimes she just kind of mumbles, but other times she speaks perfectly clearly. Strange. Well, I’m starting to fall asleep and do that lovely thing where I accidentally fall asleep and manage to delete my post or lose it all. So, I’m going to head to bed now. It’s already 12:30 and I’m super tired. Night all! 💤😴

3.8 – Woot! Woot!

I had my weekly Weight Watchers Meeting this evening. I had a great week!! I lost 3.8lbs!!! Woot! Woot! That’s pretty awesome!! I was a bit nervous, because I had gone over my extra points, I ate Birthday cake over the weekend and I just wasn’t feeling confident going in. So I was shocked when I stood on the scale. It still feels slow, but at least it’s moving in the correct direction!

I was upset about some changes being implemented at my daughter’s dance studio last night. Her teacher emailed all of the parents, to make sure the kids were okay and that the parents were also okay with the changes. I was under the impression that my daughter was being moved down in two of her classes, lyrical and jazz. Her teacher told me that they will still be learning new things next year and that the class that she is being moved into has been learning the same syllabus as my daughter’s class has, throughout this current year. She said she never makes decisions about student placement solely on age. (My daughter will be the oldest of the group!!) My daughter is still pretty unhappy about the whole thing – all of the girls in her class are, some have just been more vocal about it around the teacher than others. One girl even considered quitting. They really don’t want to split up. They do make a great class and next year will be different. I just hope that my daughter doesn’t stand out. She may be short, but she definitely looks older than the girls she’ll be dancing with. I Hope for the best, I just want my daughter to be happy…Apparently the current seniors don’t even want ANY of them to move up and into their class (they were overheard talking about it and saying some not very nice things regarding the possibility of my daughter’s current group combining with them.) The two older girls in my daughter’s class would prefer to dance with the younger ones that my daughter will be dancing with and both girls said that if given a choice, they would probably choose the younger group to dance with. I think they think of most of the seniors as negative and sometimes mean. So, perhaps my daughter is getting the better option. It’d be easier to be the oldest, than the youngest of a group who doesn’t even want you there!! What a bunch of drama huh? Ah, teenage girls! What a joy – never drama queens at all…lol!! As I said before, I just want my girl to be happy! I would be heartbroken if she started not liking dance class – it’s currently her most favourite place to be and I don’t want that to change!! Her teacher promises me that my daughter will be happy next year and I just have to trust her. And now I have to trust that I’m tired and need to go to bed now!! Night all! 💤😴

Dance Stuff!!

I’m feeling pretty growly right now (that’s not really a word, is it?!), that and confused. I had a busy week last week, getting ready for my son’s Birthday party, driving to dance, etc (with my hubby out of town). Also, my daughter’s dance teacher was sick for most of the week and wasn’t at the studio. So, I hadn’t yet found the time to talk to my daughter’s dance teacher about the possibility of her dancing with the younger kids next year for jazz and lyrical. The teacher prefers larger classes and was considering splitting their smaller class in half, putting the older kids with the seniors and the younger ones with the group below them. That way she would end up with two larger groups. Today I was planning on contacting her (but my son staying home sick threw my plans for today out the window!!), just to let her know that it would really upset my daughter, who will be 15, going into grade 10, to be put with the younger girls – especially after her experience at her old dance school. (Don’t get me wrong here, I’m not at all complaining about her current dance studio. My daughter and I absolutely love it there. She has found friends and been accepted and really loves attending – it is her favourite and most important thing in the world!!) My concerns are if it will hurt her confidence, if she feels that she’s not good enough and is being made to repeat, also, if we’re paying all of this money for her to be retaught the same lessons that she received this year. Well, I’m too late!!!!!😱😱 My daughter got home from dance tonight, walked in the door and yelled, “I’m so mad!!” Apparently, they hardly had a jazz class tonight, instead their teacher talked to them about next year and how she plans to divide the class. She said that the girls won’t be moving down, that they’ll go from advanced 2 to advanced 3 (instead of into the seniors) and the younger girls will just skip over advanced 2 and be in advanced 3 with them. But you can’t just “skip” a year of training…it seems like just a name change! You can’t tell me, convincingly, that they will be learning new things next year and that the younger girls can just jump over a year of training. I just think it’s a numbers thing and I’m going to be shelling out for my sad daughter to be repeating two of her classes next year!! Now I really don’t know what to do. I feel like the teacher needs to sit down and talk about it with the parents! Like have a parent meeting or something. Ironically, her ballet teacher realized that those same three students (back story…this current year, my daughter and the two other girls being affected by this change, have danced with the younger girls for their ballet class only!!) don’t fit well with the younger students and she is moving them into the senior ballet next year. So, if I’ve got this straight, for jazz and lyrical she will be with the younger kids, but for ballet and hip hop and possibly modern she will be with the older kids. Hmmm… Oh!!! How coincidental! Her teacher just emailed me, I think about all of this! I’m gonna run now and quit trying to work this out in my head through my writing…if that makes sense! It’s how I process things. I just want my daughter to be happy! That’s all I want. I don’t want her to start to not want to go, start dragging her heels, now she’d probably live at the studio if I would let her. I don’t want to see her joy and enthusiasm die away. It would break my heart. I guess I’ll go see what this email has to say!!

Again, I’m just working through all of this – I’m not trying to bash anyone or upset anyone. I just want to understand it all and I want my daughter to be happy!! Night all! 💤😴

Oilers Kick Some Ice!!

After the devastating loss on Friday, the Oilers came back ready to play! And boy oh boy did they play! The scored their first goal in under three minutes of play in the first period they got their first goal. And then, in no time flat, they got 2 more, and the Ducks coach switched to their backup goalie. It didn’t take long for us to get another and bring the goals up to 4 – 0. They scored one more goal before the end of the first period and headed into the second period with a 5 – 0 lead!! We scored another goal not long into the second period and were leading by 6!! What a great game. The next goal scored was by the ducks, to make the score 6 – 1. Then, in a power play we got our 7th goal, giving us a 6 goal advantage!!! This time their was no losing their great lead and we took the game, 7 – 1!!! WooHoo!! Here we go Oilers here we go!! My friend and her hubby were at the game and when Leon Draisaitl got his hat-trick tonight, her hubby did not throw his hat on the ice!! I know it was probably a nice hat, but come on! Get in the spirit! Don’t wear a cap to the game if you don’t want to have to throw it when someone gets a hat-trick! Otherwise, it’s the risk you take. I wonder if he got agged on by the people around them!? I guess t have favorite hats, but I either wouldn’t wear it to the game, or I’d instantly hide it in my purse, if I really didn’t want to throw it. Well, regardless about your opinion or mine on this topic, there were tons of hats thrown on the ice!!! It was an easy game to watch. None of that overtime, you can lose in an instant nerve- wracking stress!! Now they just need to win Wednesday’s game and they move on!!

My son rode his new bike, wearing his new helmet, that we bought today. We went to the big Canadian Tire in South Common, because my hubby also needed to pick up a new battery for the Miata. The helmet we bought was youth sized, all of the smaller sizes were too tight for him. He has the big Chambers head that I inherited from my dad!! He did really well on his bike, so well that I don’t think he’ll be needing the training wheels for long!! My hubby leaves for Brandon tomorrow, for most of the week. I hate it when he’s gone!! I’m super tired. I’m doing that fall asleep and delete half my post thing!! Goodness I hate that! It takes forever to write and I doze off and half is gone when I open my eyes!! Then I curse and have to start all over again!! What a huge pain in the ass!! I think I’m going to head to bed now. I’ll leave you with this picture of my son on his new bike!!!

Thanx! Night all! 💤😴

Birthday Time!!

We had a busy busy day! My son’s 7th Birthday is today. He turned 7 – duh, I just said it was his 7th birthday… It’s just that I can hardly believe it. He’s growing up so fast!! We started the day with his gifts. He was excited about the bike and Lego. I think he was surprised by the bike. We discovered that his helmet is too small for him. So, we’ll have to run into the city tomorrow and buy him a new one. It’s best that he is there when we buy it anyway, just to be sure we’re buying something that fits him! It was just a bummer that he couldn’t try riding it today! After presents the two of us played basketball together in the backyard and we also planted his grade 1 tree, right by the girls’ grade 1 trees. Then he played while I showered and got things ready for his party. We picked up the cake, our daughter ‘s friend, (who came to help supervise in the pool) and went to the town swimming pool. Once everyone arrived, the kids all got their wrist bands and the lifeguard gathered them together and talked to them about the pool rules. We had our daughters and their friend go into the pool with the kids (for every 3 children under 8 years old you need one supervisor 14 years or older). The kids had so much fun in the pool. They all went on the water slide, even 5 year old Adam. After the pool, we had the party room for one hour, enough time for munchies, cake and presents. It went by super fast. Little boys are so different than little girls. They play so differently than girls. Much more rambunctious and hyper. But still, so sweet. They hardly had any time to play in the party room after all of that was done. My son handed out the treat buckets (we used buckets with shovels, instead of bags for the treat bags). After everyone was picked up, my daughter had to dance, so my hubby drove her, while I tried to clean up and make my supper. My son wanted pigs in a blanket for supper, so we had those with fries. Then he opened the couple of gifts that my oldest bought for him. She bought him a Hatchimal and he freaked out when he opened it. He’s wanted one for soooo long. He was just so so excited. Once my younger daughter and my hubby got back from dance, we let him open the Hatchimal. It comes in an egg. You tap and rub snd tse care of the egg. You can see the digital eyes glowing through. The eyes light up and change colour and each colour signifies something different – like it’s hungry, angry, scared, you can hear it’s heartbeat through the egg. After you care for the egg for a certain amount of time, it hatches out of the egg. It’s beak goes in And out and the head turns and it slowly breaks its way out. The little sounds it makes are pretty darn cute! Once it breaks out, you have a little, stuffed, guy that can move around, learn things, dance, and do all sorts of things. It gets a bit older and when it learns enough it dances around to the happy Birthday song and is a year older. Pretty neat!! So so different from the presents I used to get as a kid. He was the most excited for this toy, more than anything. I’m falling asleep again? I hate when that happens. I really am almost asleep. I have to finish this post quickly, before I end up losing it all, because I really don’t want to have to start this all over again – so, I’m going to cut it short while my eyes are losing the battle. We did hardly anything else after the Hatchimal anyway. We just kind of hung out. I’m so tired, jeepers! I just can’t stand it. I really need to go to bed. Night all! 💤😴

Bad Luck Oilers 😞

I can’t watch this bloody hockey game!! OMG it’s so stressful to watch! The Oilers were winning 3 – 0 until the last 3 minutes of the game. Then, they let THREE goals in in those last three minutes to tie the game! Crazy!! The third goal should have been goalie interference, in my humble opinion…their stupid player, Perry, was holding onto Talbots pad (you can clearly see it if you watch the replay!!). That’s the second game in a row when it should have been a goalie interference call! It’s like the refs are against the Oilers. There has already been an entire overtime period with no goal. I can’t watch this stuff! It’s too anxiety provoking! Oh…it’s starting! I don’t know if I can watch this. Not that my life changes all that much with the result of this game. It’s just you find yourself getting so into the game and you feel the energy and motivation and it’s so exciting, so you really really want your team to win. Anyway…I’m going to watch I guess. A little anxiety won’t kill me!

Well…they lost😞 So disappointing! After being so far ahead for so long. They must be reeling. That would just suck! To lose your huge lead in the final minutes of the game. Was good entertainment, that’s for sure!

It’s now 1:00 in the morning and tomorrow is going to be a busy day. It’s my son’s 7th birthday. I can hardly believe he’s going to be 7 years old! I don’t know where the time went or how he got so big. It’s like poof! He went from three to seven overnight! My baby boy. We are having his birthday party tomorrow at the pool in town. He’s having 7 friends and we’re swimming from 2:00-3:30 and we have the party room reserved from 3:30-4:30. We don’t have any evening plans. We’ll likely just hang out at home. He’ll have all of his new toys to occupy him, including his new bike!! I really hope that he likes it! I hope it’s nice out again. Today was beautiful outside- I think it actually got to plus 30 at one point!! Crazy hot, especially for May. It was pretty windy, so it didn’t feel quite that hot, it’s the type of weather that you can easily sunburn in, because the wind makes it feel a bit cooler, depending where you are. Well, it’s late and I’m wiped, so I’m going to hit the hay! Night all! 💤😴

Busy. Yay. Yay!!

Today was a busy day! Well, I actually had a nice, relaxing morning and a busy afternoon and evening. This morning I enjoyed a few episodes of Modern Family, while savouring my coffee☕️. There was a hilarious episode about the father’s reaction to the news of his 18 year old daughter’s intimate relationship with her boyfriend. And another good father/daughter episode, where the father is trying to force events in an attempt to create the perfect, charming memory for him and his younger daughter, because their older neighbor died and had a poor relationship with his daughter and he’s suddenly worried that’s what will happen to them. I still really enjoy this show and find a lot of it very relatable to real life. It’s definitely a show I’d recommend if anyone’s lookino for a good laugh. This afternoon my oldest daughter and I got all of the bottles into the van, we had to put all of the seats down flat and then we put a layer of garbage bags down and piled in about 20 or more garbage bags of bottles! We’ve been saving for a very long time. It filled the van up to the roof. We got almost $200.00!! (I did say we had a lot!!) Afterwards, we went to Dollarama to get treat-bag stuff for my son’s 7th Birthday party, coming up this Saturday , the 6th. They didn’t have Avengers themed party stuff, but, after dropping my daughter off at dance, we got some Avengers stuff at Walmart!! Yay! I was so happy we found stuff. The cake we ordered is Avengers themed and the bike we’ll be giving him on Saturday is an Avengers bike!! They even had Avengers balloons!! From Walmart we went to Costco to get stuff we needed from our grocery list, as well as juice boxes and mumchies for the party. We used the rest of the cash and some. Costco adds up so quickly…it may be a good deal, but everything seems to be around $10 million and you get only 10 things for that price and you’re already at $100.00!! And, well, we definitely bought more than 10 things!! I buy my coffee for my Kurig there too. It’s about $40.00 for 100 pods. All these things add up!! It started to blow by our budget, so we cut out things from the list that weren’t absolutely needed for a meal, or things where we didn’t necessarily need the huge size, like toilet paper and paper towel. In the end it came to about $250. Oh, it’s 11:11, make a wish!! That’s what my dad and I always did, when I was growing up and now, I do it with my own kids (or if I’m by myself – lol!! After Costco we headed back to Beaumont. We went to CIBC, so my daughter could take out some cash and meet a lady there to buy an Oilers jersey from Varage Sale. Then we went to Sobeys and brought cupcakes for my son to take with him to school tomorrow, as well as hotdog buns for supper. Then we finally were able to go home. My daughter beat us there, coming home from dance!! We BBQ’d and played outside for a bit and then ate and got ready for bed. And here we are!! And even though it’s not as late as usual, I’m doing that whole falling asleep thing that drives me crazy!! I’d better get a great sleep tonight, because I’m wiped! Night all! 💤😴
