Pine Acres

Ahhh...
Today is a yucky day out...overcast.
It rained all night lastnight.
We went shopping yesterday after I dropped Chance off at work. Man alive...I was SO hot it wasn't even funny. By the time we hit the second store I was searching for seomthign I could wear that was lighter than what I had on. Of course once I got it on, the stupid rainstorm hit. Typical.
Anyhow...got lots of fun things yesterday...mostly clothes and such. We also went to Value Village, where we got a bargain of a deal...a D-sized bike (with training wheels) for only 4.99! D just loves it. After having Chance make a few minor adjustments on it this morning, it's ready to go. It's in good shape, hardly any wear on the tires, no scrapes that I saw, just a few stickers on the frame from the previous owner. Easily removed though.
Decided to start making cards for the elderly today, and instead of sending them out, decided to ship them to Pine Acres Care Home here on the rez like Chance suggested. So, I phoned and asked how many residents they house, and we'll have a bit to go before we can send them off. :o) 63 in total...oh boy!
Darius made his own "smoothie" with the Juicer this morning, though he wasn't awefully interested in drinking it.
I made myself a concoction that tasted almost exactly like a Strawberry Mocktail from Kelly O' Briens. Come to think of it, it's been a while since I've been there...hmm.
X-men 3 opens today...I was hoping to take D to see it in the theatre since he loves X-men so much. We shall see...theatre's are so expensive these days.
Ho hum...guess it's off to get me some perogies...I'm starving.

Baby Dreams

Had another baby dream lastnight...dreampt it was a girl...and she hatched from an egg. how weird is that?? Apparently I'm in the business of laying, not birthing.
Hmm...
Anyhow.
Am supposed to pick up mom early from work today so we can go thrift shopping. Yay!
Am gonna hafta start buying essentials for baby, like body-wash and that sort of thing...since I didn't get anything from the baby shower in those terms. Ronnie phoned to tell me she's sending out a box with baby stuff in it for me, so I'll hafta wait and see what that brings forth. ;oD I like surprises (as D would say).
Mom took me grocery shopping yesterday on her lunch break...and i must've broke her bank with all the veggies I bought. But, with the new juicer, I'm anxious to try a couple of iron boosting drink for myself.
I had a super yummy breakfast this morning...just thought I'd share with y'all. Raspberries, blueberrie, and grapes, with sliced almonds and yogurt, and homemade hashbrowns! Yummy! Doesn't get any better than that when you are as hungry as I was.
anyhow...gotta go take a shower to hopefully get my day started smoothly...since I didn't do it before playing chauffer.

Idol Baby!!

WOHOOOO!!!

Yeah!!
I knew it...I knew it, I knew it!!
I SO called it!

Juicing

I slept on the couch lastnight...and woke up to Darius dragging poor Nana outta bed to th eliving room cause he couldn't find me. Apparently i was too well hidden by my huge collection of pillows. Was pretty comfy though, didn't wake up a billion times just to turn over cause the one hip was sore. :o)
Anyhow, got up this mornin, and started off as usual...unloading the dishwahsher, then rinsing the dishes and throwing them in.
Chopped up some potatoes for breakfast, and knocked Chance outta bed.
Fed D his breakfast, and tried to sit down to eat...but that didn't happen cause D wanted me to play, and then Chance wanted me to try out the new Juicer that he bought over the weekend at a garage sale. It's a pretty neat contraption I must say. So...I hauled out what veggies we had, and started juicing, which of course caught D's attention.
He toted a chair to the kitchen with me, and gave me a hand making Daddy a glass of fresh juice. He really enjoyed watching the different colours of juice come out according to vegetale. We used broccoli, cauliflower, grape tomatoes, and carrots. :o) Not a bad tasting drink, and I'm amazed that after tasting it, I can actually taste each individual vegetable i put in it.
D really had fun...as soon as we were finished he zoomed off down the hallway to find dad. "Daddy, dad, I made you a drink, come and see, come and see!" Was cute.
Not much to do today...but after spending my morning looking at recipes for juicing, I've decided I may try a couple to help my hemogloben levels, as inctructed by my Midwife.
D had gymnastics this mornin, so the boys are out right now...and walking in the door as I type...guess I should scoot.

Yay Us

Well...just finished up our first meeting with Kate Rudrum, our Doula. Was a very pleasant meeting. I liked her, and so did Chance. We're both very comfortable with her...and came out with an over-all positive feeling. Yay us!

Weekends Schmeekends

Y aknow...I was all for heading to Gramma's after that "woe is us" phone call from Gramma...but this weekend was really just rediculous.
I'm pissed at those losers who call themselves her friends. I'm pissed at that loser and his g/f who calls himself their brother. I'm pissed at the person who calls himself her husband. Fucknuts...all of them.
I have never seen my grandmother's house in such a state. She's always been cleanly, even if it's cluttered. She's always been strict with behaviors. My lord, the place was a disaster, and I honestly couldn not wait to return home.
The yard was a disgrace...why? Because that fucknut of a brother dropped his sons new dog off for a week, without leaving food for it, and the dumb ass dug up the yard, and garbage, and whatever else it could get it's paws on.
Let's not mention the fact that she had a family living in an RV in her yard that had 2 big dogs of their own.
Let's talk about inside, which was as messy as could be. Floors needed sweeping, dishes needed washing, toilet needed to be scrubbed along with the shower. Let's mention that she removed ALL shampoos and soaps from bathroom because everyone was helping themselves to it without any offer of return.
Let's talk about the seperation of her food from her "boarder", and the fact that she hasn't even bothered to pay rent yet.
And let's not forget the husband which keeps reaming her money stockpile for beer. I seen him holding a cup of coffee ONCE this weekend. Every time I seen him he was drinking a beer.
Do you think any of those fucknuts lifted a goddamned finger to help my grandmother do anything like cook, or clean?!?!?
Chance and I spent our weekend trying to sort things out with her. Chance did outside, heavy work for her, while I cooked and did dishes so she could get round to doing other things.
That in itself is fucking outrageous cause she just had surgery, like, not more than 2 weeks ago.
I seriously wish people could get their shit together and smarten up.
