Hi Everyone.

I am playing hookie today. I decided I deserved it after covering two desks for two and a half weeks and the constant system problems. I have been working a lot of OT and I feel burnt out. I was falling asleep so early in the nighttime, Sean barely started to talk about his day and he said I started snoring. My co worker I am covering is getting on my nerves. I think she is “milking” her problem.

She hit her head and bruised her brain. Ok serious stuff I know. She was off work for a week. Doctor gave her T3’s. So she is fine says the doc and go back to work. But she sits and complains about her head all day. Ok I would still feel bad for her except, she is not wearing her glasses and instead of taking regular Tylenol or something for pain relief during the day like the doctor says she sits and complains. Then at like 10am she is like Oh I need an Advil. HELLO take the Advil when you wake up and every so many hours after that. Don’t sit and do nothing no glasses then decide after two hours you need to go home.

Sorry I was rambling there but she bugged me yesterday. I told her my son was sick I was not going to be in tomorrow so she better get her shit together.

I am starting to catch up on blogs. I have two new readers so I went to the beginning of their blogs to catch up on them. I really like to read about other people’s lives. Just brings you own into perspective some how.

Great intentions for today. I decided to clean and organize!!! YA HO.
I thought no kids all day long so just me and the dog could manage. I went to Wal-Mart and got a bunch of containers and such and have a plan. I want to WOW my husband when he gets home. I would love a “WHO LIVES HERE?” he he.

Just a day to not hear MOMMMMMMMY MOMMMMMMMY for just a little bit and not hear my kids fight. Not that I don’t love my kids to bits but I never ever have time completely alone. My house is never this quiet. I think I will have to just sit back and close my eyes for a bit and listen to the silence………

I will close for now and I have decided my reward to myself for when I finish the playroom and kitchen is a whole hour of blogging!!!!

So hopefully I will hit your blogs later!!!

Have a super day my blog friends!!

Hello All,

Caught up on a few blogs today happy to say......

I posted some pictures today.

Funny how reluctant I was to do it. Like posting my pictures on the blog revealed to much of myself. We keep our identities kind of secret here don’t we? Most of us do not use our real names. So if we post a picture are we making ourselves to out there?

I guess I was inspired by Motherless Child. She posted pictures of herself and her kids. It made her more real I guess. Not just a nickname and writing but a person we can see.

I think hey what if someone here knows me in real life? Have I said anything that can come back and bite me in the ass? My mom used to say don’t put anything in writing you wouldn’t want the world to know because a secret is a secret till you tell one person.

I guess it is kind of dumb thinking eh?

It is funny because Queenie is the nickname my husband calls me. It started a long time ago because my sister in law hates the word bitch. You know demeaning and all that to her. So she and her friend call each other Queens. Sean heard them thought it was funny (we don’t find the word bitch offensive) and then one day called me Queenie. Mind you, please don’t think he was calling me a bitch although I am sure I can be one some days.

You know it is ironic when I think about it because my husband calls me either Queenie or Mommy (in front of the kids) so much when he does call me by my name is kind of sounds weird. I say to him “what did you call me”. I think he says my name weird.

I am on a roll tonight, nonsense…..

I hope you all are doing well and I look forward to reading everyone’s blogs
I have to go and help Sean put the kids to bed

Take care
Kenna

Hi all,

I was just going through my bookmarks trying to figure out when the last day I read everyone’s blogs and how much I have missed. OH LORD. I decided since it seems a little over whelming and might discourage me all together I am just going to read the last entry from everyone and then just try to keep up from there.

Crap, I just spilled water all over my keyboard. UG. I did that at home and screwed it up and Sean had to buy a new one. You know, it is not until you spill something on your keyboard that do you see how dirty it is. Yuck.

Anyway, where was I? I printed off some blogs to read on the way home on the bus. I figure I am sitting there for two hours and I like to read so what the hell.

We were all sick on the weekend again. I think because I did not finish my medication from the week before because I thought I felt better, it came back. Poor kids, think they were ready to trade me in. I was tired and cranky. Both kids have colds again. Ayden got impetigo from my niece who was staying with us for the week. It is a contagious skin infection. THANK GOD no one else caught it (knock on wood).

My Dad proposed to his girlfriend this weekend. They have been seeing each other for about 5 months. I like the lady have known her a long time (she was my mom's friend). I am fine with it. My kids are very happy. My son really surprised me with his reaction. He was like ya hoo yippe can I call her Nanny now? I asked my Dad and he said Denise would like that. My kids do not have a grandmother now. My hubbys mom died when he was a teenager so they never knew her so all they had was my mom. My older brother thinks that it is not right, he says they had a grandmother and she is dead. I think that that is selfish. I know my Mom would want the kids happy because they were the most important people in her life. If it makes them happy to call Denise Nanny and be close to her that that is all that matters. I still talk to them about my Mom and we have a memory book of her but I don't expect them to feel the same loss I do. They are kids and really in a few years time most of the memories they have will fade and they will only remember stories I tell them.

Keyboard seems to be working fine so far.....

New years eve was a bust. Sometimes I want to kick hubby or maybe shake him till he gets it. Don't think that will help. Sometimes he is a great caring guy and sometimes he just does not get it.

Really.

So new years eve we decide to have a few drinks. We hardly ever drink anymore. He has like three and gets drunk and falls asleep on the couch (cheap drunk). Ok fine I let him nap as I took care and hung out with the kids. It gets later and I put the kids upstairs in our room in front of the tv/movie so we can be along for midnight. Now I realize my secret thought for what I wanted to be doing at 12 was probably not gona happen. But he was drinking and being silly so you never know. Ya right. So I wake his ass up around 10 and he wants to watch a movie since we have time to kill. Ok watch a movie. At about 11:30 I start flipping around the channels watching the various new years eve programs. Hubby has cracked another beer and is proceeding to fall ASLEEP again. So I reached over and hit his leg. He freaks because apparently I hit him in the balls. Now I SWEAR it was an accident because if I really wanted to hit him there I would NOT have missed. So he gets all pissy. Great. 5 minutes to midnight and he is not talking to me. I am like "IT WAS A FRIGGEN ACCIDENT! DO YOU WANT TO START OUT THE NEW YEAR FIGHTING AND BEING PISSED OFF AT EACH OTHER?"

So he said no I guess not what ever. So we watch..... 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 NOTHING. He does not kiss me. Did I have to ask? Did all the people on TV not give you the message? So I say what is the problem? He says my balls hurt. I am like are your balls connected to your lips (although my theory is that it is all connected so if one thing is injured or does not work nothing does on my husband).

So I went to bed pissed off....... nice new year......

Don't really have a new years resolution, more like a life plan. I want to be more healthy of mind and body. Not exactly sure how to do that but I will let you know as I go along! Want to be a better person as well.

Oh yeah and find a job in Barrie by the summer.....

What else to say.....

Kids enjoyed Christmas but I have to laugh when the next few days after I hear from my son I'M BORED. WHAT? your bored? go play with the tons of toys from Christmas. Can you believe that. My son has 4 friends who are at our house at an ad verge of one to all four on any given day. We made them a kick ass playroom in the basement with their toys and game cube and I get I'M BORED. I did the thing my mom used to say that I hated as a kid "yeah your bored? go clean your room then"

Ok I will close for now as my work day is picking up.....

Take care Queenie

Hi Everyone, I just wanted to say Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to everyone here on the blog stream. I have not had a chance to come on and read anything in what seems like weeks! Between colds christmas covering two desks at work and company over I had not had a chance to sit down at all! Today it is quick post to let you know I am still alive but have to go and clean up. Have had a bunch of nieces and nephews all week so house is a disaster! I think my son caught inpentago (probably spelled wrong!) from my niece so hubby had to take him to the walk in clinic.......

Ok hopefully I will be able to come on line from work on Tuesday and catch up on all of the blogs!!!

Take Care!!

Queenie

I am so sick. I have not been this sick in a very long time.

It started on Thrusday at work I started to get the snuffles and then the dreaded sore throat. I left work early and went home and right to bed. My hubby came up to check on me two hours later after i dragged myself out in the hallway and called his name five times.

Anyway, I was shivering and had a fever of 104.3. My feet were like ice. He got me tylenol and water and left. Kinda pissed me off. He said I don't want to touch you because you might make me sick. I said then go wash you hands and put on a face mask!!

Both of the kids are sick as well. I found out our babysitter and all the babysitting kids are sick now too.

My son was sick but was seeming to get better. Gracie seemed better but ended up getting worse. At 1am she woke me up with "the ear ache". Whey does the ear ache always happen in the middle of the night?

Anyways, I took her and myself to ER to be seen. The wait was not too long, only two hours. She has an ear infection. The doctor says my glands in my neck are swollen and I "might" have strep throat or it is a really bad cold that is only going to get worse. Thanks and Merry Christmas to you too. He gave me a percription to take anyway just in case.

So Friday my throat got worse. I layed around pretty much all day. I can't sleep and I am so tired. Now I am all congested so I can not breath either. I slept sitting up on the couch.

You know you never know how much you swallow until it hurts to do so?

Now today which is Xmas eve I am in so much pain. As long as I sit perfectly still and do not move talk swallow or breath deeply I am ok. Yeah right. Hubby is gone to work and I have two excited/sick kids to take care of all day.

Ok just wanted to get all that out and feel sorry for myself.

Thanks for listening....

Queenie
