Bunk Beds

So we got our Bunk Beds last night and I just love it.  I think it will take the kids sometime getting used to the fact that they have to respect each other more.  Faith was so wired when it came time for bed she was bouncing off the walls and Austin was done.  He wanted to sleep and of course Faith was talking and talking.  By 9 o'clock Austin had enough and came out of the room and said, "if she doesn't be quiet, I am gonna go down there and punch her,  I am just saying".  Faith finally finished being excited and drifted off into Lala Land.  I think she thanked Roy and I a hundred times yesterday for her "Monkey Bed, I mean Bunk Bed"  

Austin said he had his thumb down and sad face because " NANA I HAVE BUNK BED AND YOU DONT"

Easter Weekend

Wow it has been a long time since I have written. I had a long Easter weekend and I kept busy so no time for computer. Thursday was my first day off and I did some shopping with Faithy. Bought some flowers for the garden and did some gardening. Friday was my Brother in laws birthday and I got supper hammered which doesn't happen often. For Ia little person it takes a lot for me to get drunk so lets just say 7 drinks later I was feeling it. It only sucks that I was hanging out with who I was hanging out with. My sister is a Debbie downer and she is no fun at all. I guess she thinks that being 7 years older then me she needs to be good and blah blah blah. I just miss my sister in Law in Calgary. We could sit and drink and juts have a great time. Not that drinking is high on my list of have to do when I go out. but you know I am only 29 and once in a while it is nice to just let loose. Roy doesn't drink anymore so there is always a responsible parent around lol. Saturday we went for a long walk up the trails of MT Doug and Roy and I watched a Movie. My mom was over that night but spent most of the movie talking on the phone with her sister which was super annoying cause she talks loud and she didn't get off the phone till 11:30. I was half asleep, Roy was in bed and I knew that the kids would be up bright and early wanting to go on the egg hunk. Sunday was a supper hyper day and we really didn't do much. Hung out and I think we went bunk bed shopping. Monday was another day of bunk bed shopping and moving rooms around. I bunk beds should arrive tomorrow and I am so excited to get them in the room. I have had the kids sleeping in the same room since Monday and so far not bad. They are still getting used to it but they are falling asleep pretty well. Faith loves sharing a room and I love having a play room for the Day care. The new little boy started at the Day Care and he is awesome., he makes me remember why I wanted a Day Care in the first Place. The other kids I have, which I know I complain a lot about make we wanna quit what I do and never look back, which is sad. Anyways this is what has happened. As you can tell I live a boring and uneventful life. Really not worth blogging but it feels good to blog. and if no one reads then all well. i really need to take the time to learn how this program works because I would love to add pictures in here but don't know where to start.

TGIF

What a long week!!!! I am sick but feeling much better now. Taking care of a brand new kid which made me realize why I wanted to open up a day care in the first place. Faith has changed so much since I started caring for other children and not for the good. I have been taking care of the new kid for 2 days now and I have noticed a slight change in Faith already. Sh e is playing again and being happy and not fighting. I guess she does better with some kids better then others. The new kid is like a breath of fresh air. I only have one issue and that is that I cant go to my Play group like I normally do when I have the 4 kids but I plan on having a talk next week with the lady who runs it and let her know that I really would like to keep coming, i think the kids would be crushed if we stopped going to Play group. I plan on doing some shopping this weekend for sure. Easter presents, consignment sale, birthday presents and finishing off my Earth quake kit which is also giving me piece of mind. On another note I found this really cool game called Pocket Legend on my IPOD which is so similar to Wow but a bit of a challenge to understand but still fun and passes the time. The family is going to an old friends house who is like family. I have known her all my life and she has MS so it is gonna be so good to go to her house and see her. She has been asking since Christmas for us to come over again cause she just loves the kids and she cant come to my house cause of the stairs so my heart goes out to her. Well I am off to Face Book land where I can play Frontier Ville while the Day Car kids play blocks and Trains. I LOVE MY LAB TOP cause I would go insane lol . HAPPY WEEKEND if you don't hear from me.

Why must they change

It makes me so sad to see my son get older but it makes me happy. He has change so much since he started grade one. He has developed an additude that i just dont care for and it makes me sad because he was the perfect little boy before school started. Not that he isn't perfect now, dotn get me wrong I would trade him for all the gold in the world. He is my baby boy and he will always be Mama's boy. He just is different. Things like what he wore never mattered to him before now he can only wear certain things which makes my second hand shopping hard. He hasn't developed the knowledge for brand name things yet but I am sure that is to come. My nephew wants Nike Shoes now because they are whats in style and that scares me. he is 7. I never had the need to have brand name clothing. I knew as a child we couldn't afford those things and that was that. You wore what was bought for you and that was it nothing was said. I really hope Austin doesn't develop the taste for brand name things. i just want my baby boy back :(

Unorganized

I cant stand not being organized. I am a Beaver leader for my son's beavers and that is the most unorganized group I have ever seen. i lost it this weekend when I was the only one to show up for an outing and having to take care of 12 kids. Not only do I not like that but the kid ratio is 1parent to 5 kids so I lost it. I am starting a group on facebook now to keep us all organized because I think it is important if you are try to care for a large group of children. Other then that it was a pretty good weekend. I took the kids to see HOP and they really liked it, it was so cheesy but most kids movies are. They liked it and I cant wait for easter and watching them hunt for eggs in the morning, I love that. I am sick GGRRRR I am avoiding the Day Care kids so I dont pass it on to them. It is a do what you want (but not bad stuff) kind of week and lots of Hand sanitizer for me. I hope it just stays with me, I dont want a repeat of the last flu that wiped out the entire family and Daycare kids. I have really been thinking about starting an online business but I am not sure what to sell. I am not even sure I could do it. My sister in law is sending me epicure stuff she wants me to sell stuff and my Mary K lady wants me to sell stuff but I think I would rather sell food stuff then Make up. I dont wear make up often so I am not sure I would do well with that. My hubby doesn't think it is a good idea to sell stuff but I kinda think it would be fun and I could make some money, we will see what happens. I cant wait to get my Epicure package in the mail and see if I am interested in it.

I feel great

So I feel great. I have did a major change to when I take my pills and Vitamins and so far so good. I dont get drowsy or lazy during the Day anymore and I haven't really had much coffee. i have cleaned my house and done a 10 minute run on the tread mill and a 5 minute bike ride and I still feel like I can do more. i got a new type of Vitamins B and OMG it is the best stuff ever and I think all women should take it. So just a short entry cause I need to keep busy, I cant help myself. Need to pick up the rugrat from school and then clean clean clean so I can go out for dinner at my sisters. Gonna get my bangs cut again, my hair grows way to fast. :)

Austin

You know what I am finding with this blog the only time I wanna write is to complain, why is that. I have no idea what to write about. Yesterday was a disappointing day with Austin. A note came home in his planner because he misbehaved. I have noticed that he has been getting in to trouble since the teacher moved the class around and he is sitting with a certain child. Not blaming this kid but I am just saying. I have never talked to Austin about pure presser but we had a long talk about doing bad things because another kid is doing it. Told him that the other child will probably not get in trouble because thats why he does bad things but you will. I think he gets it now. Grounded for 2 weeks from electronics and friends and he is right now as we speak at school saying sorry to the teacher. You try and try so hard to teach your children to be good and not that he isn't good, i dont like to brag but I think I have some really good kids. A side from miss cranky pants who is three and Austin who can be a bit hyper at times causing chaos but other then that they are pretty good. Anyways I just hope he learned a lesson and he doesn't get in trouble again. Turns out my nephew got the same note home hahaha how bad does that look lol. My sister and I are bad parents I tell you, just blame my mom she raised us lol. I am looking forward to Austin changing schools next year. As much as I love my sister and my nephews I really think separation would be good for Austin. I am find he doesn't think for himself but does what his cousins do. Marcus (my nephew) is very dependent on Austin and he has panic attacks when Austin doesn't go to school. So i think this move will be good for Austin to work on his independence and Marcus can work on himself as well. I have no idea how Marcus will be next year. They have been in school int he same class for two years now and thats all they know so it will take some time to adjust I think.

What a great Weekend

I have to say that I had a great weekend for a change. No fighting no nothing, which is great because I had a bad Thursday. I feel like I am always complaining lately so it was a nice change to have no complains. My cook book that I made with Austin school is done and turned out great. I would have to take credit for the whole thing. It was supposed to be a group effort but it turned out that i did all the work and I am so proud of it. i made a profit of over 1000 bucks maybe even close to 2000 bucks for the school and that is great. Austin will not be at that school next year so I am happy to leave something behind for the teachers and students also Austin has something to remember his 2 years at Eagle View. Saturday I went to a information program for children ages 0-6 and that was really interesting. The kids had a great time with the jumping castle and crafts and park. After that I decided that I would take the kids to the SPCA to teach them about the animals there. Those poor little guys get no attention sometimes so I educated the kids about how they have no home and we took dog and cat food in for them and we discovered that there is a lot of Rabbits abandoned there. I wish I could rescue a dog but that wont happen anytime soon. I think the kids really got a lot out of our visit an I plan on taking them again and this time bring produce for all those rabbits. Sunday was good. Spent some time with my mom, Faith had gymnastics and had coffee with a friend while the kids played. It was nice to get out of the house. Always stuck at my house all week makes me grumpy. So another busy week ahead with beavers, gymnastics meetings and I want to get some more stuff done for my earth Quake kit. There was another earth quake, this time in in India and from what I heard from Japan's Earthquake is that the more earthquakes there are in the work the more likely it is that Victoria will have an earthquake cause the earthquakes are shifting the plates under us and when it happens god good, I will be getting my butt off this Island ASAP cause there will be nothing left for me here, thats just my prediction. I am trying my hardest to get my mom to get her butt in gear because she does live alone and who knows how long it will take for me to get to here after an earthquake happens. I don't know if I am just being paranoid but I really do believe it is gonna happen soon and it scares me to death that nobody is taking it seriously. If it means life or Death for my children I am gonna get as prepared as I can for our survival. Mid month Payday is usually my good Payday so I am gonna get some more stuff for my kit. I am also in charge of my sons school and I have to get there Earthquake kit going to I have to do that sooner or later, cause 230 people our counting on the stuff and I have no idea what the school already has. I know they have a kit but is it up to date. Anyways now that I have made me more paranoid about this big Earthquake coming I should end my post.

WOW

So yeah I had a bad bay yesterday, everything was pissing me off. I just wanted to sleep all day and forget about the day. What set me off was I got paid and I put my cheque on the desk and now where is it? I dont know, I have looked high and low for this cheque and I am certain one of the little devils hid it somewhere, but where. It all worked out in the end. The lady cancelled the cheque and wrote me another one but it is really bugging me. Lets just say as soon as the kids got picked up yesterday I drove to the beer store and I bought beer, and boy did they taste good. You know when I have these bad days it makes me think, why do I get paid so little for the work I do. Really. my mom makes 16 bucks an hour working at Home Depot and I make $10 an hour to take care of Living human children. They are not very easy to care for might I add. The little girl is a she devil but wearing a angel mask. She does awful things when she thinks no one is looking, mainly to her brother. And the Diapers, omg I should get paid double for that little guys diapers alone, NASTY smelling thing he is. Oh lets not forget my lovely daughter who is a spazz and my lovely son who thinks that mommy should do everything for him (thats my fault). Ok I think I am done ranting about how much I hate having my own Day Care. I really cant wait until my daughter is in kindergarten so I can go out and work. I haven't worked in 7 years and even though I love that I am a stay at home mom, I need to get out now. I always though I would love to have my own Day Care and I think it would be different if the day Home wasn't in my living Space. This Day Home has really messed with my OCD, thank god for my Medication, or I would be CRAZY. I need some time off that is for sure.
