Today I slept in. Big surprise after how late I was up last night!! After falling asleep, sitting up, holding my phone, until 3:00am, I was pretty exhausted! Went to bed too late and slept awkwardly half the night!! So, yah, I was tired today!! My son woke up with a cold…which sucks. He doesn’t feel great and was a bit off all day. He was definitely more cuddlie (did I spell that correctly??) than normal!

At Christmas, my middle daughter wanted Kylie makeup (a”celebrity” brand created by Kylie Kardashion, I don’t know how to spell that, the youngest of the kardashion children) so so badly. She wanted the gloss with lip liner the most. So I bought her a pack as a gift. Not cheap!!! Yesterday we saw that someone was selling some Kylie makeup on Beaumont Varage Sale (a buy and sell sight that I use to sell things). It said that it was $25 for three sets – which is ridiculously cheap. So I said that we were interested. Today I found out that she wanted $25 each set (which is still cheap, but makes more sense). So, I asked if we could buy two of the three sets, one matte gloss set and one eyeshadow set. She agreed. So we said we could pick it up today, then she said she lives in CastleDowns!!! Can’t get much farther from Beaumont (even though she advertised on Beaumont Varage Sale!!). So, this afternoon I got to drive forever and a day, all the way to Castle Downs, just to buy some expensive, though cheap for the brand, makeup!! We got a good deal on the makeup and my daughter was very excited and appreciative, but Castle Downs??? Come on!! They call it BEAUMONT Varage Sale for a reason!! Am I just being petty here?? Or should she have agreed to at least meet me halfway?? I mean she’s the one choosing to advertise on a Beaumont site! I probably would have insisted if it was for something else, but there were a few other people who were next in line (the way it works is that you go in order of comments on the item. Every now and then people say first one there gets it, but most people go by order of interest. So she could easily just moved onto the next person!!) and my daughter really really wanted it! So I let it slide and my daughter and I went for a long drive together. However, it was worth it! We had a nice talk and one on one time and I learned that a boy likes her and wants to buy her flowers!! (AND…if she knew I wrote that she would kill me!! So if anyone actually reads this, please don’t say anything to her or she’ll freak on me!! Thanx!).

Well, am I being petty?? Let me know in the comments what you think??!! Thanx! I’m off for bed! Night all! 💤😴

🙌🙌Here we go OILERS Here we Go!!🙌🙌

The hockey game tonight was so exciting!! Talk about nerve wracking! It’s like it sucks you in and you get so into it, like you have something personally invested in the team you’re cheering for winning! It feels as if you’ll just die if they lose. Tonight’s game put you on the edge of your seat. There was so much anxiety during the second half of the last period. It was 2-1 for the Oilers, San Hose (did I spell that right??) was coming on strong, they had two power plays in those final ten seconds! They were insane! But!!!! So we’re the Oilers!! They played incredible defence, during crazy fast play and the majority of the period spent in their own zone!! Also, their goalie was like a rock! Totally solid and reliable. He was letting NOTHING in, & believe me, there were a million opportunities!! He was just on fire! Making impossible save after save. But it was so nerve wracking to watch!! The excitement was cray! Finally, with only .03 to go on the clock, McDavid (I think that’s how you spell it!!) an Oilers player, scored, from centre ice, on his knees, into an empty net!!!! Crazy! He sealed the deal with a final score of 3-1!! What a great game‼️ It was definitely one to watch.

It’s REALLY late. I forgot that it was so late when the game ended. So with no idea that it was already after 11:00, I lost all track of time and now there will be a tired mommy and little boy tomorrow, who messed around and let it get too late! Too much laughing and giggling! After getting him to bed, finally I sat down to write! It’s 2:00am and my hubby just came up to bed! I was asleep!! Crap’ I’m falling asleep as I write this. I’m scared of deleting it again. Oh! I should save it!! I don’t know how or if that worked, but I hit the “update” button, which is how you save. I guess I’m just going to go to bed, since I ltteraly cannot keep my eyes open!! Ug, I’m tired. I’m going to bed. Okay. I was just asleep yet again. I have to got directly to bed now – do not pass go; do not collect $200.00!! Night all! 💤😴

Modern Family Day…Yet Again!

Today I didn’t get a whole lot accomplished…I was pretty darn lazy. I watched a bunch of Modern Family again. I know it doesn’t get anything done, sitting and watching television, but I’m into this show and it’s so darn easy to just watch show after show. Especially these days, with things like Netflix and our Android Box. It’s too easy!! There were some funny ones today. One about her getting stuck in a bathroom because of an earthquake. Instead of helping her out, the hubby first wants to anchor the shelf to the wall without her knowing it, because it fell in the earthquake and almost landed on the son and the wife had been at him to get it done, for that very reason!! He told her he did it, to get her off of his back and, well hilarity ensued! Another good one was about the first time that their oldest drank too much alcohol with new, inappropriate, friends. It reminded me of when my oldest used to have her friends over here, in high school. Anyway, you probably don’t really care what’s happening in a television show I’m in to, sorry!

I didn’t eat very well today. I tracked it all, and didn’t go over my weekly allowance of points, but it felt like I wasn’t in control today. I continued to lecture myself in my head every time that I munched on something, but I couldn’t stop myself. Since I didn’t go over, I’m not going to let myself dwell on it. I know that would be super unhelpful and, if anything, it would make things worse!! We did have a fairly healthy dinner and I haven’t had anything else all night. I’m just going to re-read the info on all or nothing thinking, at which I’m a master, and try not to feel guilty. Oh, my son’s awake…darn it! I guess I’m going to run!! Night all! 💤😴

Way To Go Oilers!!

I spent my morning watching Modern Family again. I caught up to the current season of The Big Bang Theory and I needed a new, light, funny and equally entertaining show to watch. Modern Family is quite good. It’s about a father and his new, much younger wife and her son, as well as the families of the father’s adult children; his gay son, his boyfriend and their adopted daughter and his daughter, her husband and their three children. So, three separate families that come together to form one big extended family. It’s about their day to day lives in each of the individual families, as well as their interactions as an extended family. I can kind of relate to a lot of the daughter and her family. As a matter of a fact, now that I think about it, they have two older daughters and their youngest is a boy. Huh. Interesting. I hadn’t thought about that little coincidence before. It makes sense that there are similar Family dynamics I guess. Maybe that’s one of the reason I enjoy it. It just cracks me up. I find it laugh out loud funny. The bickering between siblings, then the seemingly random times when they inexplicably get along, the old strange and useless resentments, the everyday things that just get ridiculous, I find it all relatable and all hilarious! Oh! I just heard my husband cheering, something good must have happened in the hockey game. Last I heard it was 3/3!! I’ll be right back!

They won!!! Yay! The Oilers won tonight’s game 4/3 in overtime! Much much better than Tuesday’s game!! They got the first goal tonight, but the other guys got up and past us. It was 1/3 for the other guys, but the Oilers fought for it!! Yay!! Way to go Oilers!! Now they just need to win on Saturday and they’re moving on in the playoffs!! Here we go Oilers Here we go “clap” “clap”!!!

My day looks like she’s sleeping peacefully, thank goodness! I had to take her to the dr’s office yesterday, because she has a yucky rash on her back, shoulders and one side of her chest. It was driving her crazy, hurting and itching. The dr said it’s a fungal infection, like athletes foot. It’s like having athletes foot on your body! Apparently, it’s common in athletic people who sweat a lot – they did ask if she does any sports and the dr nodded and said “ahh yes” when my daughter said that she’s a dancer. The irritating thing is that there’s an oral medication that they can give her, as well as a topical cream that she can use. However, the dr just gave us the cream. It makes me mad! If there’s a med that can fix this, and you know that she’s suffering, give her the gosh-darn medication!!! If the cream doesn’t start to help in the next week and a bit, we’re supposed to go back in and they’ll give her the medication. Argh! I wish they had just given it to her!!! I’m going to head to bed now. It’s late! Night all! 💤😴

Sleeping‼️

I had a pretty lazy day today. I watched a bunch of funny episodes of Modern Family this morning.

Oh crap! I fell asleep writing this…I was three paragraphs in! I just did the same thing two times and now it has hardly anything in it. I’m just too tired – it’s 1:22am and I really didn’t intend to stay up so darn late!! Well, I’m sorry to that I can’t keep my eyes open ‼️👑👑☹️ keepers! I don’t know what to do. I think that this is a pathetic attempt at writing, but I’m just too dang tired to change it! I need to go to bed. I keep falling asleep and almost wrecking this. I just am too tired. So, until tomorrow! Night all! 💤😴

Only 1.5…bummer😕

My hubby had to go to Grand Prairie (did I spell that wrong) today for a couple of days for work. I had to drive him to the airport this morning because our oldest was already using his spot for her early shift today. I think that it’s beginning to frustrate him when he can’t park in his own spot for work. A spot that he worked hard for Snd earned. He had to park in the employee lot for years, before he worked his way up to management. Oh well, it all worked out. She should have her parking pass soon so that she has somewhere else to park during these instances. The kids didn’t have school again today, which gave them a five day weekend!! Lucky! I feel like they get more days off than we ever did back when I was in school. I feel bad for working parents! What a pain it must be trying to find child-care for these days. After playing with my son all afternoon, I had to run to the store to get stuff for supper and I had to,I bet you can guess…drive my daughter to dance!! That’s right!! Pretty different eh?? Right afterwards, I drove back home quickly cooked the chicken and pasta, then drove to my WW (Weight Watchers) meeting. I only lost about one and a half pounds. I thought it was going to be more than that. I was a little disappointed…I tried really hard this week, I tracked, I did everything I was supposed to. I know that it’s healthy to lose one to two pounds per week and not much more. So I’m on track. It’s just I wish it was faster – but the Weight didn’t go on over night, it’s not going to come off over night!! It’s so easy to be hard on yourself…to find the littlest thing to criticize. I also need to measure myself and track that. They say often that is encouraging too. So if the Weight didn’t come off, inches may have. So, I’m going to do that tomorrow. The topic for tonight’s meeting was all or nothing thinking and how to change that type of thinking. It’s so easy to eat one unhealthy thing and just say, oh, I can’t do this. I’m a screwup I may as well eat all of these chips, I messed up anyway. Instead you just suck it up, track it and realize that it’s not thee d of the world. Well, the last time I checked the Oilers game it was 6/0 against them…yikes! They were having an off night!! I don’t know how it ended, but hopefully they can get it back during the next game!! I’m going to head off to bed now. I have a bit of a sore throat, sure hope im not getting sick!! Night all! 💤😴

Today

Was supposed to do laundry today, but didn’t get it done!

Not a shirt, not pants or socks, not one!

Instead my hubby and I went shopping for our son’s birthday.

Went to Canadian Tire first, looking at bikes today.

There weren’t a lot of the right size at that store,

Also, compared to other places we’d seen, they cost more!

So we went to good old Walmart to find a bike.

They had an Avengers one that we thought he would like!

So we decided to buy the one that they had there.

The price wasn’t bad, even though you’re paying for the name, it seemed fair.

Then I got the face cream I was out of from The Body Shop.

Then we left the bike at the house of my mom and pop!

I think that’s the first time I’ve ever called my dad that.

It seemed to rhyme well, as does the word “cat”!

I’ve been out of my favourite night cream for so long now,

That perhaps when I go to use it I’ll forget how!

I’m so glad we picked some up this afternoon.

They were out of my day cream, so I’ll have to go back soon.

For supper the kids wanted tacos, which are pretty bad for you.

So I made a taco salad – I figured that’s the best thing to do!

Now we have a huge salad ready to go.

Now tomorrow I won’t have to decide on supper, I’ll just know!

I’ll add some chicken and pasta for the kids.

It will make them happier than just eating plain salad.

That didn’t rhyme really well.

I’m sure that you could probably tell!

I’m going to go get ready for bed.

Because there’s a crappy pounding in my head.

I’m also just feeling really tired and sleepy.

At least I’m not feeling cranky or weepy.

I’m just rambling and saying random things,

I’m going to fly – like I have wings.

Sorry that this sounded so scattered,

But now I got it done and that’s what mattered!!

🐰Happy Easter🐰

Happy Happy Easter!! It was a beautiful day today! It finally has stopped snowing today! Instead, the sun was shining and it was nicer out. So that’s a good thing. The kids liked their Easter egg and Easter basket hunt ( in our house, the Easter bunny hides the baskets and Mom and dad hide the eggs – the plastic ones with chocolate ones inside – to keep them safer for the dogs!!) it was different with our oldest being away working! However the younger two had fun and did pretty well. They each had 14 eggs to find – they had different colours to find, so we could make the 14 year olds more difficult than the 6 year olds. My hubby obviously picked good spots because my son didn’t take much longer to find his than his sister did. They were fairly placed. Then, hunting for the baskets, my son found his first, after they both searched for some time and with some helpful hints in the end. Then our daughter found hers, again with a hint or two. The Easter bunny did well!! They were both happy with the things the Easter bunny brought. After that, we relaxed for a couple hours, my son and I played some gAmes, I had a little nap and a shower, then around 3:00, we went to my mm and dad’s house. I used quite a few of my WW points plus while there, but I’m not made at myself. I knew that I’d need a lot of the weekly points for tonight’s meal. I did pretty good with avoiding the bad snacks! I only had about three chips and there were all kinds of cheeses and crackers, but I avoided that completely and just had the guacamole with a veggie tray. I did have a few of the chocolate mini eggs, but I made sure to track it. I did have some wine and I didn’t have a bun with dinner, I had a little bit of everything at supper, I tried not to have huge portions. After supper I had coffee and mum Mom had a huge fruit tray. There was the option to have gelato with it, but I didn’t have any. My mom didn’t have any pies or anything else to tempt me. I was super surprised. But great full. I don’t know if she did that for me, intentionally or not. But it was sweet. We had to come home earlier than normal, as my oldest has the early 5am shift again. As soon as we got home the hockey game was on, well it had started already. I watched it upstairs, because my son saidthat he was tired and wanted to lie down. However, he didn’t fall asleep during the whole game, so I should have watched it with my hubby. It was a great, but nerve-wracking game!! However, with a close score of 1-0 the Oilers won!!! Yay! Yay! Yay! Today was a long, but good day. and now I’m off to bed. Night all! 💤😴

Easter Prep’!

Happy Easter, welcome the winter, ah, I mean spring! You’d sure think it was time to welcome winter if you looked outside!! This wonderful Alberta weather we have…it still has barely stopped snowing in the past two days!! It’s crazy!! Those of you who love spring skiing are likely happy, although it’s not the best snow for skiing. It’s that heavy, wet snow. Likely it’s that type of snow because it’s not very cold out!! However, I remember some Easter’s in the past when we were able to go out on the deck to sit in the sunshine on Easter Day. Maybe by some miracle it’ll stop snowing tomorrow, for Easter Sunday. I guess we’ll see. I’m trying to write quickly because my hubby is waiting for me to come downstairs to hide Easter stuff for the kids. My oldest has to work at 5:00am tomorrow! This will be the first year, ever, that she’s not here Easter morning! Sigh…my baby is growing up! It makes me sad. It’ll also be the first year that she doesn’t get to be a part of the egg and Easter basket hunt. We likely would still have included her if she didn’t have to work!! I guess the best part about starting so early is that she’s off at 1:00 in the afternoon! So, she’ll be home on time to go to my mom and dad’s with us. Although she has to go to bed pretty early, in order to get up to work at 5am again the next day. But, for the Monday, since it’s the holiday, she gets double time and a half, so she’ll be making a good amount of money that day!! Today I did my Easter shopping (nothing like leaving it until the last minute!). We also decorated our Easter eggs today. I did one and the kids all did 4 or 5. It was fun. For the most part, they actually got along, which is nice. The fighting gets a bit annoying at times. Who knows what’s “normal” anymore, I just know that the arguing drives me up the wall!! Well, I gotta run and get to the hiding before it gets really late! So, until tomorrow…Night all! 💤😴

Great Game‼️

Today it was snowing like mad!! Easter weekend and the snow was coming down like it’s January! Thankfully the actual temperature didn’t get that cold. Some of the snow did settle on the lawns and stuff, but mainly it was just very wet and slushy. But it came down very steadily all day and night! Crazy! That’s our strange weather for you! Despite what it looked like outside, we did some spring cleaning today. Not that you can really tell – we just have so much stuff that it still looks cluttered even when it’s clean. I need to get rid of more. It’s just never-ending and we simply have too much!! Our house is small, which doesn’t help, but regardless of the size, we have too much stuff! I had some pretty good will power and self control today! My family had wings for supper and I had a salad and didn’t even eat one wing!! Then later on, while watching the hockey game, they made nachos (with beef) and I had about four bites and that’s all!! I was pretty proud of myself. In the past I would have had both the wings, fries and the nachos!! The hockey game was a good one tonight! Very entertaining game! The Oilers won, two/nothing!! Yay Oilers! It was a good one to watch and they got both of their goals short-handed. That’s why I’m going to bed so late. Watched the game and then took forever getting ready for bed! But my son is awake. I’m going to cuddle with him until he’s back asleep. Night all! 💤😴
