This past week..

Comment Published at 20:0520:054 comments4 comments14 Visits14 VisitsReport

A quick update..

Cadence came down with the flu.. Just the normal one though, so thankfully nothing to be too afraid of.
But she still got a phelum cough that's very wet and they can't give her anything because if they do, it will weaken her immune system and make it easier for her to catch the H1N1 virus.. Yikes, so I am NOT taking that chance/risk. It just isn't worth it at all.

Things with me are going 'alright' .. I'm taking it day by day.. If anyone wants to know whats actually going on, minti msg me and I'll tell you. It's actually something good and I can't say anything on here yet until its going extremely good!

But myself, I am going to counselling.. I had my 2nd session on Saturday and had a good cry and got alot off of my chest. I think its going to work.. I hope its going to work.. I am going to make a journal and write a letter like my counsellor asked me to do and bring it into my next session which is on Nov 14 (I go every other Saturday) and she suggested that I go see a physiatrist.. She thinks I may go back into depression and I think so myself.. So she wants me to talk to someone.. I will see how that one goes! I'm a bit scared on that one because I have never been to one myself!

Caker had a good weekend.. She went trick or treating last night over at her Omas place and had a great time. She was a witch.. It was a different witch though.. Her costume was purple, green, orange and pink.. It was quite cute that's for sure! She filled up close to half a pillow case of candy! She was so excited.

Have a good week all.. Hope everything is going well :)

Where we are now...

Comment Published at 06:0806:086 comments6 comments20 Visits20 VisitsReport

So Caker and I have been on our own since May of 2009.. Crazy I know.. So almost 7 months of it.. It's been stressful and we've had some happy times. I did have a roommmate but they moved out and Caker and I have been doing it alone for 2 months now, going on 3!

I'm actually thinking about moving into a friends place, its cheaper. Like a 5 min drive from where I live now and I can save money there.. All I have to do is pay rent and go half on groceries.. Obviously pay my cell bill and car insurance but that's it! That isn't bad at all..
Hopefully it will be easier on us both.. I'll be able to afford some stuff now.. Take care of my doggy more, which is a good thing lol!

Caker has been doing good... She's 3.5, almost 4 years old.. I still honestly can't believe it. You blink once and thats it, they're all grown up. I was looking at some pictures of her when she was 1 yr old and I just can't believe how much she has honestly "grown' up. She amazes me each and every day. She is honestly my power to live. If she wasn't in the picture, I have no idea what I would be doing right now or where I would be.

My new avatar picture is up... It was taken days ago.. She wanted a picture with mommy and she got it.. Mind you, her smile is amazing and she likes to squint her eyes when taking pictures sometimes, LOL!

3 years old and loving it!

Caker's birthday was last Thursday (Feb 26) and she's 3 years old now... I can't believe it..
Where does the time go?
I was looking on Facebook a few days before her birthday and looking back at 2 years ago when she was turning 1, I just could not believe how much she's grown up since then.. It's crazy.. My girl is just a big girl now..

On Saturday (Feb 28) we had a little party for her.. Just family.. Which was ok.. We couldn't afford much.
But she got a few barbies, a bike (that she's learning to ride), some clothes and a little few things.. She was happy and excited and calling herself a big girl now!

We are STILL trying to potty train her.. Yup we are..
It has it's days where she will go and others where she won't go at all. It's quite fusterating actually..
This morning though she told me she had to go on the potty, so I told her to go and she came out saying "mom, i pooped, go look, i pooped" lol.. She actually did, I was quite happy with her.. Hopefully she keeps this up, if so then we're gonna be on the right track.. :)

My car broke down.. Yup, it did.. So I'm without a car right now.. Anyone got one that I can borrow? Something newer, low km and that I can rely on, LOL!! I swear, I have bad luck when it comes to cars.. Hopefully its fixable and not going to cost too much, but I do need a way back and fourth to work..
Today I'm off because Caker isn't feeling well. She woke up last night crying and then this morning she's had a bad cough so I kept her home.. It's best that way. I hope it goes away and fast! I don't need her to be sick again.. We just got over it, not all that long ago : (

I'm much better.. I am not dizzy no more which is AWESOME! You have no idea how much that makes me happy! :)
I can drive again, which is great..
Also, today was the first day that I could go to work since Tuesday afternoon. I was kinda excited about it actually. I hate missing work, like if I'm sick for a day I'm fine with it, but when it becomes more than a day I don't like it. Thankfully I had a doctors note and handed it in right away, right after I got it actually!

We had a meeting today at 1:30pm, all the cashiers that were on today (well that started this morning til 130) and then others covered our tills while we were up in the meeting.. It was pretty long, never got out until 20 to 3pm! Crazy.. It was all about what we're doing wrong and not doing and what we have to improve on. Which is not a problem.
I had a few things to say after the meeting so I did just that. I voiced things that were concerning me and they got answered, Not the answers I was expecting, or some of them anyways but whatever.. They are now cleared and I can go on my merry way!

Caker's been good at day care, going on the potty and everything like that. So I'm happy! I just wish she would do it more at home. I have to tell her most of the time to go, where at day care she goes when she knows she has to! Ahhh, the home life compared to day care life. Wish it was easier, but I guess in time it will be!

Her 3rd birthday is coming up.. Yup, you heard me right.. She will be turning 3 in just a couple weeks.. Feb 26... We will be having a small family party at our house on Feb 28.. I think just hubb's parents are coming over, and maybe a friend of mine and her 2 kids. Not to sure as of yet. I can't believe she will be 3 YEARS OLD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Sure don't seem like it, but yes she is gonna be! My little girl, is not going to be so little no more!
She keeps telling me that her birthday is coming, its really cute coming from her!

Lately she's been telling me that she wants to watch cartoons.. She says "I wanna watch cartoons mom", "how about treehouse" so that's that I put it on.. She loves a whole bunch of shows that are on that channel.. I don't blame her, some of them are good, where others I honestly can not stand watching them.. Like "In the Night Garden" I hate that show, can't stand it BUT Caker loves it.. Igglepiggle she likes the most... UpsyDaisy too she likes (hope I spelt that name right, haha!)

She's being quiet right now watching "Little Bear" which is fine with me.. I remember watching this show when I was a little younger, older than her age that's for sure! Or maybe it was when my niece was born?? LOL.. I have no idea, can't remember that far back!
