slow days... I've gotten a lot done but not at the same time today. Still have to go to work yet. Not looking forward to that. I'm closing all week, which sucks much ass. However, got dinner on (we're having corned beef and fried cabbage for dinner, though I won't be here to eat it ). It's smelling really good in here now, lol. Makes ya hungry just walking through the front door! Got my cakes baked for Kelly's birthday cake (spice cake with cream cheese frosting) and those turned out near perfect. And I used the cheap disposable aluminum pans for those, funny thing. Screw those expensive cake pans! Screw them all! lol... So yeah, as long as my cake decorating goes well, it'll be a good day. Been a while, I'm a bit rusty at it already I'm sure....

I'd like to see this more often (deportation that is...)

I worked on this case a bit, photocopying and providing the grim medical records of poor Linda to the courts. I'd like to see this type of thing more often, serve your jail time then get the fuck out of our country. Anyone else agree?

SEATTLE - Victor David, a man jailed for the long-term abuse of his disabled wife on their houseboat was returned to his native Canada earlier this month, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement announced Wednesday.

David, 66, was convicted in 2001 of beating and imprisoning his disabled wife Linda for years on a filthy sailboat near Everett, leaving her scarred and brain damaged.

Following his conviction, David served five years in state prison. He was released in August and turned over to immigration authorities. He did not fight the deportation and arrived in Canada Sept. 15, authorities said.

Communication

Communication
Current mood: happy

It's always said that good communication is a key to a lasting relationship. If you and your other half can't communicate your thoughts and feelings, it tends to put a damper on the relationship. I find it to be very true. Steve and I could never communicate, or when I'd try, I would be told my thoughts and feelings were wrong, or they were just plain ignored like I'd never said anything so I stopped trying at some point. I clammed up and that was that. Then along came Kelly again, a person I've never had a hard time saying anything to really. Lately we've been fighting or just plain ignoring each other, which is so not like us. Unfortunately for us, both of us are people who feed off of other peoples emotions, and we've both been really stressed out, which in turn has snowballed. I finally decided to put an end to that almost week long brick wall we were both feeling yesterday afternoon. Boy am I glad I did, because we were both feeling the same way, and clammed up and that really didn't help anything. We had a much happier, relaxing evening after that. For that I'm truly happy. It was really nice. We made dinner together (well, sort of) and we curled up and watched the rest of a movie I hadn't gotten a chance to finish yet, and went to bed early. So anyhow, I guess the point to this post is keep the communication open and life is a happier place.

Finally!

Finally!
Current mood: blah

After many phone calls, many phone messages and just straight up giving up for a little while, I finally have anger information class set up. aka anger management. The bad part: Coming up with the $70 for the 4 hr class, and it's only one day a month, so I have to wait until mid oct to do it. The good part, it's still cheaper than I thought it was, and I'll get it done within the time limit the judge gave me! I was soooo stressed about going to court. Everyone told me I was stressing for nothing. I guess I was. But it's in my nature now I guess to be a super worry wart about everything. I was molded into that over the past few years, if I didn't worry about everything, then nothing would get done, or paid or taken care of. I'm still in that extreme stress puking mode unfortunately, but maybe I'll be over that some day. Now I just need to be able to get to a dr so I can get back on my thyroid meds before my body goes completely bonkers. I'm already sleepy all the time, and have a few other side effects of not being on my meds. Anyhow, I'm really tired, don't know why I'm up even. Should go back to bed now.

Oh good grief!

Oh good grief!

Just got a call from the school nurse. Skye walked into a brick wall and got a bump on the head. What a goober. I just laughed when she told me, since he's okay. I then told her expect to see more of him because it's something he does all the time, walking into things because he's not paying attention that is. She laughed and said thanks for the heads up. He'll be going back to class in a couple minutes. They had him sit in the nurses office with an ice pack and observation. Yup, he's definitely my child, no doubt about that! lol...

Grrrr

Grrrr

Not much is more frustrating than when somehow magically 2 people who never go anywhere get head lice. My sister and Alex got it, we don't know where, we don't know how, but they got it. I wound up having to just shave Alex's head, it was the easiest way. Of course, I didn't do that until after I'd spent 45 minutes picking through his hair with my sister shining a flashlight on his head and him sitting in the bath tub playing in the water to keep him preoccupied while we did that. Luckily, no one else in the house has gotten it. Which is amazing in and of itself since we have so many. What a huge pita! hopefully it will all be over soon!

School

School
Current mood: content

Well, another new year has started for the boys. I can't belive they're so big! Ian's now in the 5th grade and Skye is in 2nd. Where did the time go and how'd this happen?! lol! Had a meet n' greet open house at their school last night. Their teachers seem nice enough. I hope they settle in quickly and like their new school. They think it looks cool enough from the tour we took, lol. Skye gets a locker this year and Ian doesn't, I think that's strange. But whatever works! I still need to get Skye some school clothes. Ian has some from last year that were given to us that were too big for him, so we just saved them for this year and they should work fine. I didn't get to see them off on their first day because I was at work. So I gave them a call before they headed off to the bus stop. They were happy I did. Vicki got pics of them for me so I'll have something to scrapbook at least!
