the doc says.....

I have yet to hear back from the doc the results of my test...but they think its strep. The doctor says thats why I had my fever, body aches, and everything else that I was feeling for the last week. I'm glad they figured it out before I went back to work b/c to me I thought I just had a bad case of the flu and would of went back to work without going to the docs and spread the diease to all those kids which would of stunk. We already had a bad case of the stomic bug going around my work and had a lot of kids out b/c of it. I'm feeling a little lost for words again today....maybe b/c my life really hasnt been all that interesting since I'm been stuck in the house for most of the week sick. Oh did I mention I went to visit relatives in Canada last weekend right before I got sick?? Well accually I got sick saturday night and had to spend 9 hours in the car travelling with a fever, body aches and the chills. It was kind of funny cause I had the heat cranked way up that my hubby was hot in his t-shirt and I was still freezing. I'm so glad that I have a hubby who is so patient and understanding. I did eventually turn the heat down. I didn't want him to get to hot and it wasn't helping me anyway. Well I should be going....my hubby and I are headed to the market to check out the price of apples. I hope its a lot better then the grochery store or I'm not sure what we will be doing for fruit this week....maybe canned stuff. (not my fav at all.)

my week

Well I'm not sure how many of you accually read my blog exceptfor a few of my family memebers. It has been really hard keeping info posted on my blog so I don't blam people for not checking it out anymore, I'm sure its been very boring. Anyways today is my third day home sick from work. I have a doctors appointment this afternoon at 1:30pm b-cuz I need a doctors note for being out of work for over two days. I'm still not feel very much like myself and had a temp of 99 degrees this morning when I checked. Hopefully the doc will know whats up. I'm thinking I may of picked up the flu bug from somewhere and to top it all off I woke up this morning with extremly runny eyes and the one is really pink. How in the world do you get pink eye when you've been stuck in the house for over two days. My physical health is just not doing so well and I really hope I can go back to work tomorrow- I miss the kids although its probably from them that I caught something. lol. On a good note being sick may of helped my appriation the job I have to grow a little bit. I am still currently looking for another job but I don't think I could stand going back to staying at home all day. Today I am feeling a little antsy and bored. I will make sure to let you all know how my appointment with the doc went.

Well I finally got on a computer here at home...well not in my home but close enough to it so I thought I'd update you all a little. If any of you have tried to email my msn account I want to apologize b-cuz I probably did not get that email. My email account wiped out all my messages b-cuz I hadn't checked it in such a long time. I guess I will have to learn to check them more often since doing it just when I come to Canada isn't good enough. lol

An update on my job...If you could all pray for me concerning my job. I am having second thoughts about if this is where I want to be working full time and I am currently looking for a replacement job. I love the kids there wonderful and most of the people I work with are nice as well but I am having a lot of trouble with the people who are head of the business and how they treat there employees, even there customers at times...without letting out to much information lets just say I do not agree with the level of respect they have. I now basically dread work and feel like I am consistantly walking on broken glass. I am not comfortable talking with my employers about anything or any problems I have b-cuz I get the feeling like they just don't care.

Well I have to be going sorry this one is so quick...talk to you all again. :)

Our New Years

It has come down to the end of our trip and I wanted to share a few photos and tell a few stories about what we have been up too. It has defenatly been one very relaxing, exciting trip home and I will never forget it. I am so glad that my mom let me hog her camera the last few days so that I could hide behind it lol. When we finally get our own camera my hubby is going to have to fight me for it in order to use it...I love taking pictures just like my Grandpa. This Picture below was taken by my mom it was on New Years eve...isn't my hubby so cute!! We went out shopping before the big 50s New Years bash we went to later onIt has come down to the end of our trip and I wanted to share a few photos and tell a few stories about what we have been up too. It has defenatly been one very relaxing, exciting trip home and I will never forget it. I am so glad that my mom let me hog her camera the last few days so that I could hide behind it lol. When we finally get that night. You should of seen my Grandpa rock and roll...I don't think I'v seen him get so excited and groove like I did last night. It was so neat to see him having fun and enjoying life. At some point I wished my Grandma could of been there to see it...I"m sure she would of enjoyed seeing him so happy too. It was nice getting to spend New Years eve with my parents, bro, his girlfriend and other family as well...I havn't been able to hang out with all of them at the same time in a while so I enjoyed myself. My hubby and I shared a strawberry milk shake..and a kiss at midnight but not before I got nudged by my soon to be grandma and was told to give my hubby a kiss...I think thats the first time anyone has had to tell me to give my hubby a kiss...I must of been really out of it and tired. lol











On New Years day we slepted in then had christmas morning with my parents and bro. We had a lot of fun opening up gifts and then we all sat and had waffels for breakfest. I made them my self. :) That one bad thing about me having controle of a camera is not only the amount of pics that end up taking but I like taking them when people are not expecting or posing for them. After all our christmas exciment we headed to my dad's parents for the evening...my hubby spent his time playing Crokinole with uncles and cousins and I played dominos with my mom and grandparents. We had two different games going till almost 8pm. The only let down was we did not get a chance to play pit!!

Well the biggest change that happened to me while on this trip was my hair. I have not found a hair dresser yet in america and so I have been waiting to come back to Canada every time I'v wanted to get my hair done. Now I told my hair dresser this and she informed me that I was going to be the one responsible for her getting a "big head" lol. She does such a wonderful job and I'v never been disapointed with her work so to me she can have a big head if she wants cause she is THAT GOOD!
Here are some pics of my new style. She told me that its like two styles in one...a bob but I have the longness of the underneath hairs. It kind of has a rock style too it where her words. I also got her to cut my bangs shorter which has been weird trying to deal with them since they no long sit behind my ears.





It is now time for me to do some major packing and laundry my hubby and I want to try and leave as early as possible tomorrow morning...we're thinking 6am but we'll see how things turn out.

*HAPPY NEW YEARS DAY EVERYONE*

I pray that you all have a blessed New Year.
May God make him self, his love, his patients, his peace, his joy and his forgiving spirit very evident to you all no matter what you are going through or where life takes you this year.
He Loves You!

My Dream Tea Kettle

Well today is our second full day in Canada and I must say I am very relaxed it is now almost 11am and I still have yet to shower and get out of my p.js. The last time I was in my p.js this long was Christmas day. Even though we had my hubbies family over we both stayed in our new p.js all day. It was great! Today my parents and my hubby and I are going to head up to the a superwalmart in search of the tea kettle below. I know we just had Christmas and I should of gotten enough stuff to satisfy me and I did but ...I just really want this kettle. Well I'm off to play James Bond 007 with my hubby. He's waiting so patiently for me to stop typing. I don't think I'd get anything done around the house if we had the net at home.

Here is my kettle...well accually I don't own it yet and I'm not sure when I will ever own it..but it is my dream kettle. My mom has one and not only does it turn a really cool blue when on and heating up but with a push of a button it re boils the water every 5 minuets or so. This keeps the water nice and hot. What a wonderful idea eh! Company will never have to wait for the cold water to boil in your stove top kettle again. Now I know most people wouldn't get so excited about something like this but being from a family of big tea drinkers...me being one of them...this kettle rocks. Anyways I just thought I'd share this with all of you. I recommend it for anyone who loves to entertain and loves tea.

Keep Warm Cordless Kettle

Words for Thought

GLORY (YOUR ARE)

Verse I
Sometimes I don’t even wanna leave my house
These fake fears wrestle me to the flipping ground
I’m not scared of dying maybe scared of failing
So I stop trying evil thoughts start prevailing
There’s a devil out there seeking to take me out
I see him in my nightmares when I scream and shout
Even though it’s a dream it sure feels real
I know I got an angel watching in the rear near
In the midst of triumph seems there’s a tragedy
I know I’ve won even though they want to battle me
Adamantly down on my knees pray fervently
White hot never stop till I’m in the heavenly’

Chorus
So beautiful so powerful, so wonderful
Undeniable you you you are, you you, you are, you are you are
So beautiful so powerful, omnipotent
Undeniable you you you are, you you, you are, you are you are

Verse II
There’s something different, magnificent
About these Christians who talk and live in this
Lifestyle of putting pride down, it hasn’t died out,
It’s widely spread out and I
Can’t deny its power, people getting healed every hour
How do we explain this, cure for aids and patients?
They said he wouldn’t walk now he’s racing, tell me what’s changing
I’m pointing fingers at the sky,
Cause some things I can’t deny no matter if I try
I’m a walk in faith
Cause I can see you even if it’s not your face
You Are

Chorus
So beautiful so powerful, so wonderful
Undeniable you you you are, you you, you are, you are you are
So beautiful so powerful, omnipotent
Undeniable you you you are, you you are, you are you are

Bridge
Glory and honor the father we’ll give him
The glory and honor the father rejoice in him

Verse III
I’ve read a lot of books, turned all sorts of pages
But only one where the letters all illuminated
It’s like it’s jumping out at me speaking right to me
You see right through me there’s no fooling
I can’t hide from you why do I hide under?
Lies come I stutter cry out I love ye
The greatest gift so many are oblivious
You sent your kid to die only so that I could live
They bringing me down you lifting me up
I’m living your word hearing your sound, feeling a rush
Just the way I am, come as you are
Don’t change a thing, use a superstar -MANAFEST Glory

3 days till a whole new year begins

Well I am very frustrated right now, I just spent an hour or so typing up paragraphs about my Christmas day events, what has happened so far in Canada and it all diapered. I even spent time spell checking it and re-reading it. Now I know that nothing is ever perfect but I am very ready for bed and I thought I was a lot closer to heading there then I now am.

Well I guess I will start over and start by telling you why I am so pooped. Today was a very long day...exciting and boring all at the same time. This morning my Hubby and I woke up around 4ish, loaded up the car, turned out our apartment lights and headed for Canada. Now my Hubby had to add some anti-freeze and get gas so by the time we actually got on the highway it was after 5:30am. Not to bad but it took us till 4pm to get to my parents. We did stop a few times to eat and once so my Hubby could do some sleeping...he was struggling so much with staying awake that we just had to stop even though we both wanted to keep going. That put us back 45minutes but we got here safe. Now so far since I've been home, I've gotten to visit with my mom, dad, bro and I even got to see three of my little cousins...who to be honest aren't so little anymore. The oldest (who is now eight) and I played the game of life. It was a lot of fun, I remember watching him as a baby and he has grown to be such a smart and kind little man. He was reading most of the squares without help and even doing most of the math all on his own as well...it kind of blew me away. I know his parents must be so proud of him. Now the other two little boys have changed so much too. The youngest one has gotten so much more hair then when I saw him before and he just loves his brothers. He was all huggy and cuddly with the oldest durning the movie...very cute. The middle boy is talking so much more clearly and has gotten taller from what I remember but is still as funny as ever. It was nice getting to spend some time with them. Hopefully my hubby and I will get over to the boy's house sometime over the next few days to visit some with my uncle and aunt as well. There is always so many people I want to see when I come back home but there never seems to be enough time its kind of disappointing.

Well now I hope everyone had a great Christmas. My hubby and I entertained his parents and bro from Christmas eve night till the day after Christmas. They camped out in our living room on the futon and the floor. It was a lot of fun and it was very relaxing for everyone. My hubby and I decided to keep the tradition of opening up p.j's on Christmas eve alive and went and bought p.j's for his family and each other. I think they enjoyed the tradition and I'm glad they were willing to go along with it even thought it was so late. We didn't get to open the p.j's till almost 11:50 (10 minuets before Christmas day) lol and we were all pretty well in other p.j's by then too. I found some really cool penguin p.j's from target for my hubby and it was so hard keeping them a secret from him for the weeks that I had them hidden. I have a lot of trouble keeping secrets from my hubby..specially when its something I am very excited about.

I hope you all have a very HAPPY NEW YEAR
