2014 nearing an end, what will 2015 bring?

Well, been away from "home" for 2 nights and during those 2 nights I've realized that the 'band-aid' fixes on our marriage didn't do anything.

Told him tonight that it's over, and I'm not even upset - no tears, no emotions, no nothing. It doesn't bother me one bit.

He screwed up big time financially this weekend - spent money that was to go towards his bus pass to go out with his friend justin instead. And he still hasn't paid the rent which he was suppose to take care of on Thursday.

More to come, I'm tired. It's after 1 am 

Thanksgiving!

The joys & benefits of being a dual citizen: two thanksgivings every year! 

Drive down to my dads today :) well actually I rode with my sister, her husband and their 1 year old son. I brought with me my daughter of course!

Had a wonderful thanksgiving dinner filled with lots of family, and then left the two kiddos with grandma and grandpa while we went shopping!

Got a few things at Kohls, including their door buster sale of 32 inch tv for 99 (not me, my brother in law did) and a few other things - the kiddos Christmas Eve movies, and a gift for Celeste. Going to head back tomorrow, as long as my transfer hits my bank in time!

Then it was off to walmart! Got a few door buster sales there too! Tool chest for $80, 10" tablet, with case & keyboard for $80, and while there, dad called and asked is to grab him a tv - 32" for $98 lol

Went back to dads place, hung out there for a bit and then packed up the kiddos and went to the hotel room. C is sleeping :) and I'm off to bed. My holiday and I have to be hubby's alarm clock cuz he's not a morning person and still has to work at 7am

Back on track

Slowly I'm getting life back on track in the right direction. Bills are caught up, or close to it, house is getting more and more organized and P and I are communicating better and working as a team around here both as parents and as adults (regarding upkeep of the house)

Now if only I could come up with the money to pay for the car repair from the water damage that insurance isn't covering. Would love a miracle of $1700 by Wednesday! That would just be the best thing right now.

Our boarding kitty Jasper has gone home :) kinda miss him in a way, but Puzzle is settling down and going back to her pre-Jasper self so that makes me happy. 

C is potty training! Big step for my big girl! She knows what to do, but doesn't recognize all the signs just yet so lots of accidents but she's getting there! 

Been on a winning streak for Tula baby carriers......won 3 in the past month or so - 1st Toddler Half Girasol ChiChi, 2nd Standard Hero, 3rd Toddler Semi Ornamental Circles :) thinking I might sell ChiChi and get P a PS4 for Christmas....will decide after I see it in person next week!

Think I'm buying a lotto ticket for tonight's draw ;) 

Sad news

Unfortunately before I could really get excited about it, I miscarried :(

I was between 6-9 weeks when I lost the baby, the exact time is hard to pinpoint because I've been bleeding for 30 days now.

Hurts to write that out but I know I need to to heal.

I'd like a second (and more then 2!) child but obviously now was not the right time.

Hopefully things go back to normal soon. 

Happy Mother's Day!

Happy Mother's Day! 

I'm heading out for brunch with the lovely ladies in my family :) 

Woohoo! Party!

So this month is off to an excellent start with Tupperware :)

I have a fundraiser ending on the 30th, I have a party on the 4th (just booked it today!), I've got another fundraiser going from May 18 - 29th, and I'm looking for at least 2 more hosts this month! So much great stuff for my host(s)! 

I signed a recruit yesterday! Gives me a great start too what I'm hoping for is my best month EVER!

Miss monkey wore panties today for the first time, she peed them but it's a start with potty training/learning. We cloth diaper so I don't want to be buying disposable pull ups, defeats my purpose for using cloth. She wanted to wear them so that's a good start :) now she's just gotta learn the cues! And to actually use her potty lol she will sit on it but so far haven't used it haha

I'm off to bed! 

Well it's begun! Again :)

New start has begun! Today was a great day :)

Was at a trade show for Tupperware - was set up at a local market. And while there today, not only did I sell $250 worth of merchandise, but I also signed up a recruit! Two more recruits and I can step up to manager this month! I KNOW I can do it!

Looking for 3 hosts this month, to go with my 2 fundraisers. So I'm hoping that with all the great birthday month specials that I will be able to get a few parties, even if just a book party! 

As we were getting ready to leave and run errands after I was done at the trade show, we (hubby and I) witnessed a car getting broken into in front of our house. I quickly snapped a few pictures of it happening and them called the police. They caught the guy, the stuff stolen was recovered thankfully and hopefully all will work out because of it. However, this delay cost us about an hour and a half. Only good thing is miss monkey got some outside playtime running around while daddy was giving police his statement. 

Then we were off! Dropped tax stuff off at grandmas house for her to work on, dropped Tupperware off to 1 client, stopped at 2 different friends places to pick stuff up, stopped at Nanas place to pick something up, stopped at a friends place on other side of city to pick something up and finally dropped off Tupperware to another client before heading home! 

But miss monkey has woken up for the second time tonight so I'd better go see what's up!

Night! 

Slump

I've been in a slump lately and I just cant seem to break it.

I have such little energy, motivation. I WANT to get things done, but as soon as I'm off work all I want to do is rest, and sit watching tv/movie or playing with C.

I'm not even motivated to keep my house clean :( I'm overwhelmed from the move and things being left in a half finished state. I mean, I cant move in my office, nor can I find anything!

I really need to take holiday LOL however cant afford them till hubby finds a new job. He's been laid off since end of November 2013 and just not having luck finding something.

GOALS:
Go for a walk DAILY with C and hubby.
Continue to eat healthy
Make more of an effort to do one or more of those "30 days" Challenges (for exercising)


Current Weight 230 lbs
Goal Weight 150 lbs
Time Frame 6 months from now (so October 26, 2014)

Life gets in the way sometimes

Life can really get in the way sometimes. I have good intentions to write here daily but never get the chance too. Mostly because I'm told I spend way too much time on my phone/computer and not enough time with my daughter.

I use my phone and my computer to help provide for my daughter, so yes I do need to be on it quite frequently. I know work from home, and that requires me to be on a computer for a minimum of 7.5 hours (unpaid lunch break) for 5 days a week. And then I need to keep up to date with my Tupperware clientel and my Coop Members since I help to run a coop too.

This really is a new beginning for us! We finally have our own place here in a few hours. I cannot wait to be sleeping in our apartment again. Its been way too long - We moved out of our last "family" home mid-July 2013 it's now mid-March 2014. That's a LONG time to be staying with friends/family. And to always have our parenting decisions questioned it makes it really hard on DH and I to parent our daughter they way WE want to.

C has started talking again :) So glad to hear her saying words, and understanding what they mean! Sit, done, more, no (rarely says it!) yellow are just a few of what she can tell you! She can also let you know she wants milk or other beverage by taking you to the fridge and waiting for you to open it so she can point to which one she wants. She KNOWS which milk carton is hers (she's lactose intolerant) and what she's allowed to have and what's she's not suppose to have.

We also got our car back from the mechanic! Finally got the car repair all paid off! Few other things that are really minor that we will get done in the next few months AFTER the snow all melts and the potholes do their damage on the vehicle. The only one not being put off for much longer is going to be the new tires for the car. they are DESPERATELY needed and we've ordered them and they have finally come in! YAY so going to get them put on most likely after we finish moving next weekend.

Well, it's almost 2:30am here I should go to bed because I have to be up in about 5 hours to get ready for work and moving! I will try to make a better effort to write here, as this does help me with my anger and frustration levels
