So we went for the ultrasound.. turns out baby is a GIRL!! we are frickin thrilled! I think she's already got daddy wrapped around her little finger.. she kicks.. and he jumps to feel it :) lol definitely daddy's little princess already. I got to go out and get some new maternity clothes finally.. picked out two shirts I really really like. Wear them to work.. and wow.. people can actually tell I'm pregnant now! like.. I don't look just fat.. lol. i had a lot of fun with the day of my ultrasound.. just before we went out the door.. Puss had babies! so after my ultrasound.. I changed my msn name to 4 itty bitty babies! lol.. got a few people asking if I was having quads.. lol been doing a lot of floor support at work.. taking supervisor calls and helping out the new training class that just hit the floor.. they're doing pretty good.. but I gotta say.. taking sup calls is very rewarding.. and therapeutic.. especially when other parts of my life are driving me...

ok.. so it's been a few days.. a couple weeks. . whatever.. the nephew has been down to visit for a week... it's been crazy around here.. nothing says fun like a pile of adhd people all in one house.. getting eachother more and more hyper as the seconds tick by.. yup.. joy and bliss.. been thinking of setting myself up a ritalin IV drip.. we could all take turns.. it could be fun. The baby is really moving around a lot now.. seems it doesn't like my work.. it does like being at home.. and gets super relaxed in my bed... it seems to sleep a lot at home.. but squirms like crazy at work.. like it's trying to leave without me. We're less than two weeks away from the first ultrasound.. hopefully we'll be able to find out the gender.. but I'm not worried either way.. it would make shopping easier.. but I don't really have my heart set on either. I'm torn between wanting a girl.. and really wanting a boy.. and being scared of having another girl.. and bein...

ok.. so it's saturday.. and do ya know what saturday means? pay per view... Why is it that half of the state of arizona waits until they want to order a big fight.. to realize that they haven't paid their bill in 2 months.. like.. they get phone calls.. letters.. past due notices.. disconnected.. and they don't notice their cable isn't working until they want to order the fight?? Here's a little thing I just wanna say... if the bill says.. printed. on this date.. due by this date.. PAY IT BEFORE that date....that way.. it doesn't go PAST DUE.. and then you don't have to call me to have me explain to you that you actually have to pay this stupid thing EVERY MONTH.. yup.. that's right.. EVERY MONTH.. and preferably the whole balance.. so that you don't have to call me back again next month.. to have me explain to you again.. that you really have to make a payment.. EVERY MONTH.. BEFORE the due date.. so that you dont' go past due again.. another ...

ok.. I've managed to lose all of my email addresses.. all of my mailing addresses.. all of my appointments.. all of my info that I had on my desktop.. all of my bookmarks..all the links I had saved for link of the day in my clubs.. all the phone #'s and email addresses.. ya.. basically everything that I use on a daily basis.. soooo... if you have any links that you think I might want.. or a phone# (I lost all of those too.. dad please email me..I lost your cel # and your email addy) anyhoo.. I need any and all info you can send me.. birthdays.. addressess... etc... to my gasgirl2000@sympatico dot ca address. thanks

Well.. it's been a good day.. First off.. I felt baby move for the first time.. now I am afraid.. really afraid.. the kid seemed to be throwing a dance party in there.. I don't recall ANY of my kids being this active.. lol,, I'm looking forward to having a hell of a time getting to sleep when this baby gets a bit stronger.... :) at least now I know for sure it's there.. secondly.. doing the countdown... 178 days left... which means.. roughly 12 paychecks left til baby.. omg... anyhoo.. if anyone wants to help out with getting us ready.... we registered under mine and matt's name at sears . I'm thinking buying there is a smart plan.. seeing as they have the waiting game club.. where if you guess the baby's birthday.. you get all the purchases made off of your registry back in gift certificates.. and since I've had ALL of my kids on the 26th of their months.. I'm placing bets on dec 26 for the peach to be born.. (it's the size of a peach this...

ok... so.. let me throw a thought out there.... babies smile.. in utero..the ticker says baby is working on it now.. and I've been seeing those 3d ultrasound pictures a lot.. and some of those babies ARE smiling.. no doubt about it.. which means... at least to me.. that they don't smile for the first two months after their birth.. cuz they're traumatized. Think about it.. you come out of a nice warm place where EVERYTHING is comfy... and everything is done for you.. and you come out and you're shocked with cold air, pain, drugged, taken from your mother, shocked into breathing, blinded with lights, and people are all loudly talking.. hurting your poor little ears.. (for an idea of this.. walk outside a dark house on a bright day... how do your eyes feel?) and if you're a boy and really lucky.. they cut off a peice of your most painful bit.. just cuz it's traditional.. ya.. no wonder they don't smile.. must seem like being introduced to hell.. they probably ...

well.. it's been a good day.. started off with me jumping out of bed early.. hit the bank and tim hortons.. came back..dropped matty at work.. took the kids to burger king for breakfast.. (mmmmm french toast sticks) Then actually got them to school on time.. Joey had a feild trip this morning (hence the early trip to the mall.. had to hit the bank for 3$) we went to the great canadian superstore.. I had planned on seeing if I could come along so waited around to hand the money to the teacher and ask her.. but before I asked her she asked me if I was coming.. OF COURSE! so I got to ride on the school bus with the kids. It was pretty fun tour.. they fed us all kinds of samples.. I got to try sushi for the first time.. at least now I know I haven't been missing anything.. didn't like it at all. The kids all ended up with a nice bag full of snack foods and off we went back home.. this time we got the super bouncy back seat! We got back and me and joey decided to hit t...

This song was kinda in my head today.. reminding me.. I think that my mindset is what holds me back.. the learned behaviours.. no matter how hard I try to mesh... I don't fit anywhere. I'm too well behaved to enjoy the people who like me.. and too badly behaved to fit with the people I like.. This song just kinda reminds me of working at the gas station.. and having people who were loaded come in and talk to me.. and every once in a while I'd throw something into the conversation.. just to mess with their view of reality.. hey.. life's easy for you.. try raising 2 kids on 1500$ a month.. ya I know.. you were raised to look after yourself.. you were raised to grow up and make your own money.. and take care of #1.. me.. I was raised to grow up.. and get by.. maybe I'd get lucky and marry a rich man.. but don't bother dreaming about college.. cause no one's paying for it.. and debt is bad.. dont' go into debt for nothing... which kinda strikes out osap....

so.. today.. 243 days left to go... WHY DOES IT HAVE TO TAKE SOOOOO LONG????? (only 242 days left til christmas) I don't think I've EVER been this excited about a baby.. maybe it has to do with not being totally nauseous this time around.. I can never take prenatal vitamins.. they make me puke.. so I went hunting for a vitamin that has folic acid, iron and the B vitamins. (they help get rid of morning sickness) and WOW I got one that fits the bill.. and let me tell you.. they work better than the prescription meds for getting rid of morning sickness.. I feel GREAT! except that I am totally tired.. I slept most of today.. woke up to pick up Drew from school.. went to the mall to get cat food. and now all I want to do is go back to bed.. and I have to go to work in 2 hours.. :S So we were at Matt's uncle's for easter dinner.. and his cousin asked how many kids we're planning on having altogether.. and Matty says.. FOUR?!?!?! I was like.. uh.. hunny.. do ...

Weird news

YAY!!!!!

someone asked this in one of my clubs.. if i knew any ways to save $$ here was my response. Shop for kids on boxing day.. buy big sizes... this saves me a bundle on my kids winter clothes.. I get everything 75% off on boxing week.. (at zellers.. in canada) Never be scared to check the clearance rack/section.. you never know what you're going to find..I got GAP shirts for my kids brand new for 2.99 each because they had found them in the back room.. old navy sometimes has good clearance too.. Stock up on the weekly meat special.. I get pork tenderloin for 1.99CA a pound.. and pork chops.. and steak.. and chicken breasts.. and just buy up a pile of what's on sale.. that way my freezer is always full of yummy meat. call up your credit card company and ask them for a lower rate.. odds are.. they have one. Always ask for a discount on big purchases like appliances.. you will probably get one. use layaway instead of credit whenever possible. check online for recipes for fast food.. ...

Check this out! The kids and I went to toys r us today (looking at baby stuff) and decided to check out the play houses.. this thing is freaking cool.. I want it.. a lot.. but.. how do you justify 350$ for something like this??? anyhoo.. check it out.. there's a gas pump, bank machine, market, sports, garage, school house.. inside there's a chalkboard and a SAFE! you put the money in the safe.. it comes out the bank machine! this is so cool!!! and inside is.. one wall school.. one wall mechanics shop.. one wall store and safe.. it's like.. wow.. the first playhouse I've ever seen designed just for boys... Where was this 5 years ago when my kids were small enough for it??? Seriously.. the roof is the same height as Drew's head.. lol.would still fit Joey though.. I was checking out different idea's for the kids room.. I wanna redecorate the bedrooms.. paint.. decorate.. etc..saw these shelves/bins.. thought.. now THOSE would be cool! Don't ya think??...
