Happy happy birthday baby.....

This is Matthew. Matthew is 2 years old now. Matthew is the adorable son of my longest running girlfriend, Anne. This child with be beating the women AND the men off with a stick some day! Look at those curls!

I forgot to go to the 9 O'Clock mass this morning and be a part of the collection. What an ass! I completely forgot - my mind was set on going to the 5 O'Clock service with the kids. God forgive me please.

Mom and I did more work today on the garage. Lots of fresh air, too! We had our campfire tonight, complete with marshmellows and bugs! It was awesome, and of course I took a few pictures, so be on the look out for those!

Behave folks, more tomorrow!

All the pieces of me...

Look at this - it must be a record for me - 3 posts in 24 hours. It is almost midnight, and I am on my way to bed, but I just started playing with my webcam! I made a photo collage of all the things I see when I look at myself on the web cam. By themselves, they are all fine, but somehow, when I put them together, they don't look right. Silly, isn't it? A puzzle looks dumb when you look at all the little pieces separate, but together - WOW! So why isn't my view of all my little pieces the same? Hmmmmm..... will have to think about that.

I watched lots more tv today - I think I got at least a week's worth in. One of my favorite shows is Little People - Big World. It is quirky, but I love it. Definitely not a freak show, as you commonly see on TLC. I also watched Trading Spaces - man, I wish I had a house of my own to decorate. I ditched MTV, after I watched the first 5 minutes of Tiara Girls - a show about pageant life. Retch.

I put together the fire pit all by myself! Tool girl would be proud. Mom and I did some major work on the garage. We had a nice dinner at the Ponderosa and mom finally got to eat her Apple Blossom that she has been wanting. Off to bed now. Up early to work somemore on the garage and HOPEFULLY move the wall unit upstairs.

Sleep tight

What has this world come too?

Okay - this is why I don't watch TV on Saturdays!

First - I didn't even realize that I got mtv on my tube - and then, after watching this show, I may never watch it again!

http://www.mtv.com/onair/dyn/sweet_16/series.jhtml

This is called My Super Sweet 16 and I have never seen such a disgusting display of gluttony in my life. This young little BRAT's parent's throw her a 16th party that is more than any wedding I have ever gone too. She is disgusting and I needed a shower after watching. She and her girlfriends coo over having this party be "ALL ABOUT ME". Chelsi (OMG!) invites her friends using Roman Soldiers to hand out the invites. She does it front of a huge group of kids that aren't going to be invited. She pouts when she doesn't get the dress the way she wants it. She also wants a car for her present. Dad says it is a party or a car - but then totally gives in at the end of the show - sorry to spoil it for you. It's a Mercedes - what a surprise! At the party, she enters on a playform carried by 4 near naked guys she hires at gym. Then some jerk that she did invite sticks his head in her 800 dollar cake and ruins it. She has the police she hired remove him. She doesn't know why her boyfriend is mad when she dances and kisses another guy at the party. I am so glad that this girl lives so far away, or I would be forced to puke on her front yard. This mentality frightens me. Does this Brat not know that the world is laughing at her, not envying her? I need to punch something.....

Got some!

Sleep, that is... what were you thinking? Dirty mind, no doubt!

Yes, I slept until 9:30 this morning and I loved it! Have I mentioned how much I love my bed - is it natural to love an inatimate object that much?

Today is catch up time! Catch up on house work, catch up on emails, and phone calls, catch up on life in general! I had a good time at the scrapbook crop last night - though I only completed one layout! I spent a lot of time organizing my stuff. AND looking through personals with Paula! Lots of real winners out there!

From my window, it looks like a nice day out there, which I am glad of as the kids are going fishing with their Uncle Jon (David's brother). IT is a stocked pond, and the kids had a ball last year. As long as I don't have to clean them, all is good! Watch out for pictures soon!

I think I am addicted to Tim Hortons - or at least my one French Vanilla Cappachino once a day. See, during the week I almost always get one on the way to work. This morning I woke with a headache.... could that be why? I did drink one beer last night, but I doubt that has anything to do with it....

Less than a month left to Croptopia! Woo Hoo! The count down is on!

Well, that's all for now folks! If I go out tonight, there could be more interesting stuff tomorrow!

Behave!

~glenda~

Thursday night... 10:00....sleep is iminent!

Things are good folks! Really can't complain! Okay, I would, but who would care, really?

I am in a bitchy mood though, that time is upon me! My face has declared war on me, I am bloated and ravenous! I have NO patience. I know, cry me a river.....

I really don't have much to say at all - gonna scrapbook tomorrow night and FINALLY sleep in on Saturday! I havent done that in a while. I love my bed - have I mentioned that before?

eHarmony is going well - too soon to really disclose any details, but time will tell whether it works for me on not. I just really like how real people have suceeded with it - not just models!

ALERT!

I am having a Tupperware party next week, and unless you are over 45 minutes away from me, I really want you to come! Just come for the food and free gifts! Bring a friend~! Please - do I need to beg? LOL

Okay, I am off to bed. Behave everyone, and remember to smile tomorrow.

Love Glenda

Okay, lets try this again!

Let's see if this works, since the link did not....


Great!

Now, again, imagine the little straps on either shoulder and imagine me with a little more to love!

Enjoy!

The dress!

Okay folks!
I am officially VERY EXCITED about Shane and Jen's wedding! I have picked out my gown, and I even have a link for you. Now remember, that I am renting this dress, and it has been hand made by Lisa and Grace (Not Alfred Sung! I just wanted to give you an idea!)

https://webmail.cogeco.ca/webmail.cgi?cmd=url&url=http!3A!2F!2Fwww.alfredsungdresses.com!2Findex.cfm!3Fgo=dresses!26xstyle=D313!26color=midnight

I hope the link works. The only difference is that there will be two tiny straps on either shoulder. And a little sparkly broach under the breasts.

Bet you can't wait to see me in it!

I will write more later when the kids are in bed!

Ciao!

Must stay awake........ zzzzzzzz

Hello folks!
I have even more respect for Dad not that I have slept a night in his chair. I dont know how he did it, sleeping upright like that. Sarah was coughing so much last night, that the only solution was to sleep sitting up, as giving her multiple pillows wasnt helping. It was a LONG night to say the least! I didnt get any real sleep until 4:30 am! Yikes! I don't now how you did it Dad!

Anyhoo.... here is my horoscope for today in the Toronto Star. I got a kick out of it, so I wanted to share.

Cancer (June 22 — July 22)
There are plenty of stupid people in your world, but it would be counterproductive to spend too much time thinking about this. It's an occupational hazard of life and it's not worth dwelling on, especially today, when there are kisses to be stolen.

That was PERFECT for today! And you know what? I did steal a few kisses today! Go Figure~

I am off to take the little man to Beavers. We are visiting a music store! Can't wait! Grandma wants him to take drum lessons - we shall see about that. Will she still be so encouraging when he wants a drum set in the basement?

~Glenda~

Things that make you go "hmmmmm...."

Well, for those of you sweet folks that wanted to leave comments, I think I solved the problem. Let me know if there is still problemos!

An interesting weekend, to say the least. A good Daquiri can help many ailments, that is for sure! And let me just say, 5 bucks, 5 bucks, 5 bucks!

I will not go gently into the night

That is quite the statement, isn't it? I mean, it could represent not wanting to die, it could represent not giving in to others expectations, it may just meant not taking the easy road in life. I like this statement. I will not be pushed around and will not be made to do what I know is not right. I will do as I please, for the most part. I know what is right and wrong, and I will try to live my life accordingly.

Woa! Pretty deep for Sunday blogging! And I havent even been to church yet!@

Talk at you all later!

~G~

You didn't want to actually PLAY, did you?

Well, volleyball was great!~ I, as of 8:30pm, was the only person from my school to show up. I sat on the wall like a geek, and watched the others play. I knew a few people, and some of them asked me to play with their team, but honestly, I felt like a big loser, so I ended up leaving. Don't get me wrong, I know that probably everyone had their reasons for skipping it, but what a morale booster! Oh well, at least I was there, and I got a good night sleep. I needed it.

Today was the home business show in Brighton. Slow day, as the weather kept people away. But, I got some scrappin' done and talked to a few nice folks. Gave away some flyers and business cards for Paula. Hopefully it will get some business for her. I enjoy that sort of thing, as I am a social person at heart.

I am off to have some chinese food with Ma, and then who knows....

As my mothers says to me EVERY night before I go to bed......

Be good!

~Glenda~

Falling behind....

I just looked at the date of my last post, and I have been neglecting my duties here! Understandibly so, as this house has been ground zero for kid germs! Gareth went back to school on Thursday, and is still not 100%, and Sarah went back today, Friday, and I got a call from the school at 10:15am to come and get her. It was no surprise, as I was planning on keeping her home, until about 5 minutes before the bus came, when she discovered that she missed her friends! Oh well, it was a nice break to be able to leave the school, if only for a few minutes. I brought her back to school with me and Grandma came to pick her up. I am told that she slept most of the afternoon.

Off to play volleyball tonight, with lots of other teachers and staff. OCETA puts on a nice event each year, with cards and booze to boot! Tomorrow, I will be in Brighton at the home buisness show, sitting in for Paula at Scrapbooks and Smiles! Drop by and see me as I will be there from 10 until 4!

Mom and I had a nice dinner tonight, and I bought her some clothes. IT felt nice, really nice, to be able to do something for her. I owe her so much.

Well, I am off like a bride's nightie! (that's for you Jen!)

Love to you all!

~Glenda~

All's quiet on the Western Front.....

For now, at least...

The kids are both good and sick, and since I was home with them today, David will stay home with them tomorrow. I sent them with medicine, ice cream and strawberries! That should do them for 24 hours, dont'cha think? What more could a sick kid need? I have a lovely new dresser for the kids. The one that I had been using was one I ......brace yourself....... I picked up off the side of the road. It's true! It wasnt out with the garbage, it was from a house that the folks were moving. They put it there for someone to take if they wanted it. It needed some work to make it useable... so Dad did it for me. I could have done it myself, but I knew it made him feel good to help. So, the people across the road are moving and wanted to know if I needed any furniture. Well, I told them that a bigger dresser would be nice, so they sold me two for a great price! They are huge, and perfect to hold the kids clothes in it! I will give away or sell the others when our yard sale comes around! Who knew all it took was furniture to please me so?

Just saw The Rick Mercer Report - the final one for the season. I cant believe that I havent watched that before! Jann Arden was on it and I had to watch - but sooooo funny! She was on a real bull with Rick, and what a chicken she is! LOL It had a huge hump on it's neck, and she was so scared and cracking jokes! She said it needed to have that hump lasered off! I cant really describe it well, but if you get a chance to see it, do!

I am looking forward to a good nights sleep! I can actually sleep in 'til 7am! WOO HOO!
Life is good!

I miss the people and kids at school! I havent seen them since Holy Thursday! 5 days! They probably have forgotten what I look like!

Just in case you had forgotten who Jann Arden is.......

Have a good night friends!

Germapolooza

Well, this has been an eventful 24 hours. We knew Gareth was sick, and after 2 hours at the medical clinic last night, he has an ear infection and strep throat. He just LOVES taking medicine (note the sarcasm) so that is going over well. I called for a supply and made arrangements to keep the little man at home. Then, Sarah wakes with a fever! So, I called the school to let them know that she wont be in either. What a fun day I have ahead of me! I'll be lucky if I keep myself from getting this sickness!

IF they are still sick, their dad will have to keep them tomorrow. I have to get dressed soon, to go to the doctor. Tune in later to see if we are gonna live!

~Glenda~

Photo Shoot!

Here are the photos from Sears that I have been promising! They are really great! I always used Walmart before, but now I am a true Sears girl again!

Doesnt Sarah look like she could be the picture that comes with the frame?

I have beautiful children!

All is quiet now.....

but earlier on today, say around 6am, it was a different story! The Easter Bunny came by our house and left a bunch of clues for the kids to read. I will post a few pictures of that! When it was all over, two giant Kinder Eggs were being eaten! Poor Grandma was soo sick through the night, so when it came time for church, she stayed home. It was actually a good thing, as Gareth had quite the fever! Not sure what is behind it, but he was sick all day long, napping off and on! Note his red cheeks in the pics! Sarah and I went to church for the lovely service. We all gathered for our Easter dinner at the Ramada Inn in Belleville. It was quite nice, but again, Gareth's fever was back, and he didnt eat too much. We visited Grandpa at the cemetery, and left him a daffodill. And after a bit more chocolate, it was bed time. Which takes me to now! I am happy that we have the extra day off. It will be nice to sleep in to perhaps 7! Woo Hoo!

Hope your Easter was as Hoppy as ours! God Bless!

~Glenda~

Take two!

It is almost 3:30 now, and I am getting ready to pick up the kids soon. Very exciting! The big Bunny comes tomorrow! Woo hoo!

Working at Scrapbooks and Smiles was awesome! I love that store, so it was a treat for me! I hope I get invited back to do more! Check out the link on this page!

I am feeling a wee bit tired - I must be getting too old for this partying thing! It was sooo much fun though! I just cant do it every weekend! Once a month will have to suffice!

When I was partying with Ambush last night, one of their posse asked to take my picture, so if it shows up on their website, you know I will post the link! But don't hold your breath, just in case, as they took LOTS of pictures! I'll be the one wearing the black I'm a keeper shirt! 'cause you know I am!

That's all for now folks - tune in next time!

~Glenda~

Oh what a night....

I had an awesome time last night! I was out with Kim to see Ambush at Little Texas! The music was great and seeing a lot of old friends was even better! The place was packed and VERY warm! Ambush is a great band! Check them out! www.getambushed.com

Off the Scrapbooks and Smiles! See you all later!

~Glenda~

Meatless Friday

Well, two pounds of bacon later, the Pinault-Hill clan are all going to hell! We had a wonderful breakfast, and lots of laughs. Cori and I broke a wooden spoon in a fight, but more on that another time!

I am off to play speed scrabble with the others, but wanted to jot a few words before I forgot! Remind me to write about the adventures at the Legion later!

~Glenda~

Hippity Hoppity... yadda yadda yadaa...

Well, it is Wednesday night. I only have one more day of work before the long weekend. Yea!
I have a tonne of laundry to put away, and here I am on the computer. Oh well. Had a good night - got the family photos back from Sears - love them. I will post them either tonight or tomorrow.

Went to the mall with Sarah - one of many trips there we'll take together as mother and daughter. Of course she had the gimmies! She had to settle for an ice cream cone and a little duck, which she paid for herself. We are in search of her favorite kind of toys - The Littlest Petshop! She is addicted! She told me that she wants to sell her My Little Ponies so she can collect all the Littlest Pets. We will see about that,.....

Looking forward to the Easter Bunny coming by. He is always good to us all. I used to know a rabbit once, I think his name was Harvey....

Oh well, that's it for now....
The pictures will come later.

~Glenda~

I love my job...

Well, it's Tuesday and work is done. Well, the paid work is done, anyways. I shouldnt complain. I don't know what I would do without my mother. I could never repay her for all she has done for me if I tried. She completes me! LOL You know what I mean!

I was thinking about a Jann Arden song today, on the way home. I love the line: "four million people surround us... so many souls lose their way... all that we have is each other..and that's all I ever wanted... " That's all I want, anyways. I cant decide if I really want to actively look for a mate right now. I mean, on one hand, who wouldnt want to have someone to love them? But am I truly ready for that again? I mean, it has barely been three years (which sounds like a lot, but isnt) since I separated. I am a busy person and truly do not have time to date. I know, we are supposed to make time, but at some point, someone loses out! Whether it be my family, my commitments, my space, my work... someone always loses. Most of the time, it's me that loses. I need to get more sleep. But I digress....

What I am trying to say is that with so many people out there in Canada alone, why is it so hard to find someone like me? OR at least compatable with me? Am I too picky? Am I searching for the Holy Grail? Does that person exist? Of course they exist, but how can I find time to find them? Ahhh, who knows....

Easter is coming quickly. I have big plans in my head, but whether they come to life is another story. We shall see...

Looking forward to seeing Ambush again. I always have fun with Kim, but this band seems to bring out the best in me. Can't wait. I wont eat meat all day Friday but no one said anything about ale.

Behave
~Glenda~

This is me.....

Me, again.

Okay, I was just checking out a few other blogs, and woah! I cannot compete with them! Amazing - oh well, you are stuck with me - hahahaha! As soon as I figure out how to post photos, that will be better. I hope. xxoo

Sane people need not look further.....

I guess this is my first post. No to sure what to write that anyone else might be remotely interested in. Perhaps that I am tired and frustrated, lonely and hopeless, a squirrel without a nut? Okay, that last one was a little odd, but then again, so am I. I cannot promise that I will write daily, but I can promise to write, and be honest. I am curious myself to see what I will think of. Tune in next time.
