Our Trip

This May long weekend we took a trip up to 100 Mile House to see my family and go to my sister & future brother-in-law’s stagette and stag party. It was a long trip and Jeff was very down the whole time. A friend of his of 10 years had died of a drug overdose, we’re not sure what he died on since the toxicology reports haven’t come back yet due to the long weekend. We got there and were super busy because we had to fit in so much in so little time. Jacob spent the first afternoon playing, whining and getting wet under a “Mount Tiki Soakie” water sprinkler thingie with his cousin Kirsten and a friend of hers. Jeff & I left Jacob with my parents while we went out for dinner at El Cabello with Corina and a few of her friends and mother in law. We then went to Jake’s Pub for drinks ( I was good and only had a few sips of what everyone else was drinking).  We didn’t stay long since Jacob wasn’t going to sleep for my parents and we had forgotten Pookie was still in our van. After we got back, it took us 2 hours to try and put him to sleep….he’s not into sharing his bed anymore. Jacob woke up very early all things considered and he wanted nothing more but to run around in Papa’s garden and investigate everything that Papa touched. His Uncle Nick took him for his very first ride on the “tractor” and he loved every second of it. I made everyone breakfast and we all sat down together to eat..minus Jacob since he had other things on his mind. Jeff took Jacob outside and kept an eye on him while I sat and chatted with my parents over some yummy and well needed coffee.

Poor Jeff got sunburned all over his head and neck. We headed back around 2:30ish and were very tired. Even though I didnt’ drink, I still felt hungover from lack of sleep and a sugar crash from all the pop I drank at the bar. I spent monday doing absolutely nothing while Jeff had to work. I still have dirty dishes that need to be done. While we were in 100 Mile, Corina let Jacob have Kirsten’s spongebob TV so he could watch his movies in his room….I know I’m totally against him having a tv in his room but I think it’ll work out better this way since he loves to play while having his DVD’s on. And that’s our trip in a nutshell. We were only able to spend one night there but we’ll be back in a few weeks for Corina & Nick’s wedding.

I’m Tired

I’m soooo tired.

Every morning I get up at 5am and by 7, I’ve already gotten myself ready for work, Jacob up, dressed and ready for daycare and Jeff woken up so he can drag his ass into the shower….not to mention pack Jacob’s bag, track down his “Pookie” (who by the way has went MIA tonight so that will make for an interesting day at daycare tomorrow), make Jacob’s breakfast and pack that up, wash out the nearest sippy cup, keep Elmo’s World going so I can manuver around a toddler and keep him as happy as possible at 6:45am. I spend 45 minutes driving in traffic in the morning and another hour at night. Ugh! I’m tired. After I’ve run my ass off at work with NO SMOKE BREAKS I get home with a grumpy, hungry toddler who wants to do nothing but scream and stomp until he gets his way…then I get to make dinner. Plus I have to deal with a cat who is screaming at me because her source of entertainment is gone all day long and she’s too stupid to eat the ledge of food in her auto-feeder so more food comes down…so she eats around it…God forbid she see the bottom of her dish in ONE spot. Then Jeff comes home, eats dinner, sits his ass down in front of the tv and plays his XBox 360…Then there’s dishes, laundry, cleaning, tidying, bathing Jacob, dressing Jacob, finding Pookie and trying to find things that have went missing in the matter of 2 hours. That’s only part of my day.

I hope I get more used to this….soon! With the dishwasher being broken (still) and my ankles and back killing me from running on the cement and standing in one spot for a very long period of time….I’m pooped. I even had to put potty training on the back burner so we can get used to this new routine. *sigh*

I miss having the whole day to clean my house and cook dinner. I miss watching DVD’s with Jacob and playing with him and his mega blocks. I miss chatting with friends and actually having a cup of coffee and a smoke. I miss the crew from Montana’s and the trouble that came along with it. But on the plus side, I do get more time with my boys, Jeff & I actually do spend more time together as a married couple and friends, I do get to have more time (when I can find it) to talk with friends and family. I can actually go away for the weekend!!!!!!!! Which is what we’re doing this weekend (thank god!) Jeff’s dad’s in the city this week so we get to spend time with him too which will be really nice because he misses Jacob so much and can’t wait to see him tomorrow night.

I’m still f**king tired though!

Hey there strangers

I haven’t written anything in awhile. I’ve been off work since the end of March and recently went back to work last week. It’s nothing spectacular or what I thought it would be but I’m working Monday to Friday during the day so Jacob can be in daycare. My left hand is still healing and is itchy like a mutha!! I enjoyed the time I had with Jacob at home but it’s nice to get back out there and be with grown ups. I’m working in a small cafe (that also has many locations around the city) that does catering and has a coffee bar as well. It’s been interesting and definatley different to say the least. I definately miss the Montana’s crew but I’m so glad I quit.

Jeff & I were having some problems and we’ve kinda worked them out but we’re seriously gonna have to work on trust…again. Same old BS, different day.

Ummmm vans in the shop. I got to drive a sweet 2008 Chevy HHR though, still have it but I have to return it tonight. Not much else to report…not that I can think of right now anyway. Hope everyone’s good….message me dammit!
