Was just about to go upstairs to have my nightly relaxing cup of tea when I heard the sound that every parent knows and dreads..... AHHHHBLEEEEAHHHHH (at least thats what it sounds like to me)

Screaming kid upstairs... MAAMAMAMMMAAAMMMAAAA!!!

NOOOOOOOO! Please tell me the pukey baby isn't back!

I really hope this is a bug she's caught, and not the beginning of another round of unexplained nightly vomit-fountains!

So now she's set up in the guest bed, which terrifies me.... I hope she doesn't get out in the night and do something nasty (or messy) to me or herself (or my house. LOL)

I hope the poor kid feels better in the morning! How does she know to get sick when I have a class to take the next day??? They must have a sixth sense.

And will someone please come and help me clean up her sheets and matress? I can't handle it! I'm gagging just thinking of it! I had to take a break after cleaning her up, because I really can't stand puke.

Last night after making supper and putting lily to bed, i got a drink from the fridge. When I closed the door, all of the letters from Lily's leapfrog annoying toy from hell were lined up perfectly... and by colour.

So I messed them up, because it was weird.

We get home today, I start making supper, Lily's playing with her singing alphabet toy. I get done cooking.... look over....

WTF??? It's weird....
Should she be doing this? She's 20 months old....

It really creeped me out tho! I mean, yay for her! recognizing lines and colours matching and all that.

But it's still weird. I'm not going to mess it up this time, cuz I'm pretty sure she'll just put it back.

6 quirky things about me.... hmmmm...

I'm a serial artist.... pretty much everything i own is painted, sparked or drawn on

I have 3 tattoos and 2 piercings... hehe

I'm addicted to home renovation tv shows

I'm a colour cameleon! my hair changes colour on a semi-monthly basis, and I've got half a dozen pairs of coloured contacts

I'm the only female working as an avionics tech on the base I'm at. So it's me against 200+ men

I hate cotton balls ***shudder at the thought***... especially wet cotton balls...PUKE!!!

Tag! You're it ellamia, boredmum, Arna, monarogirl, fairymama25, and sheilao!!

so i'm in a funk. usually a bit of shopping helps, so yesterday i went shopping

7 guppys
a wall plaque
a tooth brush holder
a tv stand
a shelf for lily's room
some painting supplies
a leather punch
and a hair dye

56 bucks

and it didn't help (but i did get some really awesome deals! on stuff i probably dont need..... lol )

I apparently have inherited a weird gene from my grand mother too.... it's call the paint-whatever-stops-moving-long-enough gene. Everything that we have of hers has about a half an inch of paint on it. Brown was on sale i guess, because everything is brown. LOL

So today my painting gene took over, probably activated by the buying of un-needed painting gear. So I painted my cupboards. Good-bye old orangey oak colour. Hello pretty white cupboards! Hopefully next depression shopping spree I'll rememeber to get new drawer pulls! Then I'd have a whole new kitchen!

This is my blog, so don't report me!!!!

What is with all this childish bull crap lately?? People voting people down, reporting comments for no bloody reason, putting questions in advice, even after advised that that's not where they belong, and generally being a pain in the ass?

I don't get it.

And I'm so sick of having to sift thru people half-assed attempts at advice to find something that's worth reading. Seriously people. Do some research. If you just feel like writing something for the hell of it, write it in your blog, like I'm doing now. That way it doesn't come up when people are trying to read LEGIT advice.

And it's called spell check. Write your article in microsoft word, or someother word processer and just copy and paste it here. A sentance is NOT 8 lines long with no punctuation and horrible spelling mistakes. That's just a big speal of unreadable crap. Noone wants to try to decifer what you are trying to say, and then, when they figure it out, realize that it's just junk.

I don't put out alot of articles, but when I do, I do research, and I try to make them the very best I can. I'm proud of my advice articles. I'm not the best speller in the world, so I use spell check. It's pretty damn simple.

I love minti (especially the new format, even tho it's takeing a bit to get used to the tabs) and most of the people on here are great. Just why do people have to pop up all the time out of no where and make trouble? It's like we just get rid of the menaces and another one comes along!

GRRRR

I know.... someone is gonna tell me that if I don't like it here to just leave and noone will miss me, or whatever. And I'm sorry if you've wasted your time reading my vent, but oh well.

I love you Minti! I won't leave you!

Wow... what a month it's been! Visitng at Christmas was hell, just as i expected it would be. I can't understand people who feel the need to bottle up every strong emotion in the presence of other people! giving someone you care about a little kiss in front of other people is not bad! And neither is being a little upset and showing it. David's mom actually told him off because I snapped at him ( he was being selfish and wouldnt come to the park without having a shower.... the park is right across the road, and we were only going for a short time as it was freezing... big deal!)

Then my flight was cancelled for flying out of Ontario, so I had one less day with MY family than I had planned.

And now that I'm home, my baby sitter is being a pain and keeps getting sick, or hurt. And work is being a bitch and I STILL haven't got my promotion that was due to me. Well, I think it was due to me, anyway. I think I should get it early... hehe. I was actually due on the 9th... but they promoted people today, and guess what... I wasn't one of them! Buggers.

But on the up side... Lily has decided that she's a big girl, and refuses to wear diapers and has peed on the potty twice! Yay for my big girl! She's only 20 month. No more diapers soon, I hope. Proof that babies in cloth diapers potty train sooner! And when I do get my promotion, they will give me all the pay that is due back to me. Which is good, because then I can actually pay my bills instead of just telling them that I paid them and then not answering the phone the next time they call. Yay for paying bills!

Another negative thing... David is still being a jerk and living a 3 hour flight away from Lily and I. Why does he not understand that he should be here? That I could get a second job if he was and he could finish school? I mean... what is wrong with the man??? And what is wrong with me that I am STILL waiting on him?

Oh well... some day my prince will come...
