9月30日 I guess it's time to be an adult.....BLAH!Anyway, I spent way too much time yesterday trying to figure out how to get to either concert, October 20th or Dec 30th and just couldn't do it.
The October one is just way too costly, the air fares weren't bad but, still more than I can do and since I didn't get the other job I was going for, there is just no way I can pull it off.
December 30th is mostly the travel time I just can't do that far of a car or bus ride, it just isn't safe for my health.
Unlike when I was younger I just can't say, "Screw it!" And do it anyway....
Sometimes being a responsible adult really BITES!
I know it seems silly for me to be so disappointed about a concert but I was looking so forward to it.
The last concert of his I went to was just so good and so much fun...And I do beleive I mentioned he was less then 10 feet away from me!.....hmmmm SIGH! those dimples!....LOL!
And I happen to love the way he plays the guitar and to see that live is AMAZING!
So I'm done pouting for now, and I will just have to be happy that I got to go once, and hope that he will came back this way again.
Have a great weekend
Cindy 9月29日 Busy PoutingI will blog and exsplain later, when I'm done.
It might take a while I am well and truly dissapointed.
Cindy  Yesterday AfternoonMy friend April came for coffee, and to give me a ride to pick up a sleeping bag for Tessa.
We got to talking about the December 30th Rick Springfield concert in Spokane, it looks like we won't be able to go.....
For various reasons. Not everyone in the group can afford a hotel room at that time of year, and I really don't think I can handle a 6 or 7 hour drive, a 2 hour concert, then a 6 or 7 hour drive back all in one night, not with the way my legs have been swelling up.
So the next plan is for me to go to a travel agent and find out if we can get a flight into Windsor Ont. (or very close too) and back out on the same day for Oct 20th.
Air fares are quite cheap, and only 2 of us are going to this one, too short of notice for the others.
Insane?....Maybe.
Fun?.....DEFENETLY!
See my daughter can't stage an intervention, no one would come because all my friends encourage my insanity! LOL! LOL!
I've said it before I'll say it again.
My friends don't love me despite my craziness, they love me BECAUSE of it!
 Sweet Dreams all!
Cindy
P.S.
Can someone PLEASE tell me the name of the Airport in Windsor Ont. if there is one?
Thanks

Have a great day all!
Cindy 9月27日 Kids say the Darndest thingsAfter I woke up Tessa by blaring "Rick Radio 24/7, the bonus being they were playing the stuff from the 70's....LOL! Do you remember what 70's AM radio was like?
I got about 15 minutes of grumbling, when she had finished I said;
"If you don't start setting your alarm, and getting up on time I'm going to do that every morning."
She looked at me in horror and asked;
"You don't honestly like that, do you?"
I say; "Yes as a matter of fact I do...."
Tessa shakes her head and says;
"If you don't stop with all the Rick Springfield stuff, I'm staging an intervention!"
It was so funny, always nice to start the day with laughter.
But really why would she want to take away something that gives me such joy!
Bye for now
Cindy
This link will take you to a artical and video that will touch your heart. please read, watch, and believe in the human race again. Thanks Tanya For putting this on your site.
If you don't cry your eyes out you have no soul.
I have found another way......To get my daughter out of bed in the morning.....Oh I'm such a mean Mommy!....hehehehehe!
Tessa is so hard to get out of bed in the morning, I have to resort to all kinds of tricks to get her up and out the door on time for school...
Very early this morning while I was waiting for the right time to wake her up and wondering if today was the day I had to use the bucket of water. (she is REALLY hard to get up).
Anyway I was surfing the net and found "Rick Radio 24/7" a net station that plays nothing but.....
You guessed it!
Rick Springfield!
I told you I was a mean Mommy, I may love it, she does not.
They play everything from his early days with ZOOT and the start of his solo career in Australia in the early 70's right on uo until today.
So when I found this I thought it was a much better and less messy way of getting her out of bed then the bucket of water.
When the time came for her to get up and she started in with the, "Just 5 more minutes." I clicked on the music and turned it up as loud as it would go and left the room.
She very quickly yelled out, "PLEASE TURN IT OFF!"
I pretended not to hear her....LOL!
So she would HAVE to get out of bed to make it stop.
Hmm I wonder if I'll have any problems getting her up tomarrow? <GRIN>
Solitary One
~Rick Springfield~  You know it gets too much and sometimes she cries like a babyBut she's almost certain it'll pass when she becomes a lady But while she's still a young girl love is avoiding her And thank god for the radio and the color tv, oh, oh, oh, oh Heroes are hard to find in the cold world but not in her mind And she's talking to Jesus during the radio station breaks And she's on her knees, pouring' on her knees Asking how the world can be so cold to her And she listens to the records, playing on the radio And she's falling in love with a singer Now she's feeling' better and she's feeling' good But she's coming down by the time the song is over And she starts feeling' lonely Feeling' she's the only ordinary solitary one All alone the solitary one And hurrying home oh god its been one of those bad days But with a flick of a switch and a twist of the dial She gets love on the airwaves And they send her favorite lovers to keep her satisfied And she's talkin to Jesus during the radio station breaks And she's on her knees falling on her knees Asking how the world can be so cold to her And she listens to the records playing on the radio and she's falling' In love with a singer Now she's feeling' better cause she's feeling' good But she's coming' down by the time the song is over And she starts feeling' lonely Feeling' she's the only ordinary the solitary one all alone solitary one And she's on her knees pouring on her knees Asking how the world can be so cold to her And she starts feeling' lonely Feeling' she's the only ordinary solitary one All alone the solitary one All alone the solitary one All alone the solitary one All alone the solitary one 9月26日 This explains a LOT!....LOL!10 WAYS TO KNOW IF YOU HAVE PMS
1. Everyone around you has an attitude problem. 2. You're adding chocolate chips to your cheese omelet. 3. The dryer has shrunk every last pair of your jeans. 4. Your husband is suddenly agreeing to everything you say. 5. You're using your cellular phone to dial up every bumper sticker that says, "How's my driving - call 1-800-***-****." 6. Everyone's head looks like an invitation to batting practice. 7. You're convinced there's a God and he's male. 8. You're counting down the days until menopause. 9. You're sure that everyone is scheming to drive you crazy. 10. The Motrin bottle is empty and you bought it yesterday. Now yes this is very funny (thanks icequeen). And I am guilty of doing, saying and thinking all of these things but #2 (I hate chocolate!)
In fact I have PMSD "pre-menstral disorder" basically PMS times 10 and meds have been recommended to keep under control, it seems to run in my family and we all deal with it differently, one takes the pills and they help some what, another takes vitamins she thinks they help...really sadly they don't.
Me, I see the signs coming and try and avoid human contact when possible.
Now I don't tell you this for sympathy....I tell you this as a pre-cursor to one of my biggest pet peeves!
The peeve is when for two weeks a month some woman use this very real but very treatable or if not treatable at least controllable disorder as an excuse to behave badly and treat the people around them horribly.
My brother's wife is one of the worst offenders of this, as this time of the month for her has become a "Let's see just how far into insanity I can I push my husband?." game.
My brother is usually a very calm easy going person, nothing really bothers him.
But....
When his wife is PMS-ing he becomes very tense and jumpy because he doesn't know what he's going to be walking into when he comes home from work.
At one point he put his discomfort aside and asked me if I could talk to her, because he knows I have this problem as well and that I don't take meds to control it (because they don't work for me), and his wife won't take antidepressants because she thinks people will think she's crazy..Whatever!
I talked to her and she said that she knows she acts badly but it doesn't bother her.
HUH?
It doesn't bother her that her whole family is scared to even talk to her, and for 2 weeks of the month her husband doesn't want to come home?
I don't understand this at all!
When I'm having a bad bout I can't stand myself!
I try my hardest to NOT inflicted my bad temper on others....Doesn't always work, but I try.
But some woman seem to enjoy the psycho bitch fest.
I think that is unfair and just plain mean!
Good night all
Cindy 9月25日 Sleep deprived thought streamI'm glad everyone liked the cards, I just felt like sending a smile to my friends and thank you to all those who sent one back.
I have tried to nap to make up for only sleeping 2 and a half hours last night, but it hasn't worked out that way...first it was a friend of a neighbors programing his car stereo, with the bass up so high it rattled my walls and he was 2 units down!
I stepped outside to get some fresh air and there was a group of people by my unit bitching about the noise, but did anyone go and say anything to this punk rapper wanna-be?
No they did not.
When they saw me they asked if it was bothering me, at this point it wasn't if I was to lay down in my bedroom it would have but since I was planning to nap on my couch, I was OK with what he was doing, after all it was day time.
But the others were whining and saying stuff like, "Someone should say something! and "Oh he's so rude for forcing that crap on other people!"
While I agree with them, as it's 1 in the afternoon I don't see a problem with letting him finish what he's doing and be on his way, why have a confrontation when you don't need to.
Well I got sick of the music (if you can call it that) and the whining and decided to go inside, but just before I did the wanna-be upped the volume even more, and the hens started clucking again, Still not daring to go over and say anything.
I just shook my head, and went over to the guy and said, " Look I know it's the afternoon but I didn't sleep last night and I'm trying to take short nap before my kid gets home, and your music (repressed gag) is rattling my walls...So could you please keep it down?"
He says "I'm just programing it, I'll be done in a hour."
I say "Okay thanks for turning down." And walk back to my front door, giving my neighbors a look that said "Now was that so hard?'
The punk wasn't pleased with being asked to turn it down and said just as I was about to open my door, "dumb bitch!"
Ahh stupid stupid man!
Don't mess with me when I'm tired and cranky especially when I've had my absolute fill of selfish arrogant and ignorant men!
I opened my door as if I hadn't heard him, I had my cane just inside the door, I grabbed it and walked back to him and said "What did you say to me?"
He said "I was just leaving."
Now don't get me wrong I'm not stupid enough to think I scared him at all.
I think his change of heart had more to do with the VERY BIG black man dressed in a Border Gard uniform that came and stood behind me...(another neighbor). I was disappointed I really wanted to smash something and this punks windshield would done nicely....
So now all is quiet but I'm too keyed up to sleep, and just as I relax enough to try my darling daughter comes home from Drill team practice, now I have 2 teenage girls babbling at mach 10, that I should really make dinner for to keep me from my bed.
Here I sit well after midnight AGAIN too tired to sleep, wondering if it's because "Time Goes By" entry was too personal and that's why only one person commented, well 2 really but he didn't say anything about it, or is it just I write too much?
I didn't mean to make anyone uncomfortable I'm sorry.
And ofcourse you don't have to comment if you don't want too, but I'm rather proud of that entry.
I'm off to try and sleep.
Sweet dreams all!
Cindy 9月24日 I'm not sadI'm a little blah because I didn't get to sleep until 4 am and only slept until 6:30 am...So blah not sad just thought the pic was cute.
  Where I would like to be
Time goes by.....Sometimes at a snails pace, and at others it's like you blink and a year is gone....
In a few short days it will be the 24 anniversary of the day my friend Rick and I met.
Through those years we have been friends and lovers, and fought bitterly as both, we have laughed at each others stupidity, and cried for each others heartaches.
We have shared the biggest heartache two people can share, we lost a son (late miscarriage) 4 and a half years ago.
I can see now that was the beginning of the end of our intimate relationship.
But through it all....His taking me for granted and cold shoulder and one very nasty remark after the miscarriage. My infidelity and subsequent free fall into the biggest mistake of my life, we have remained friends.
I know he will always be there when I need him, just like he was when I was 16 and needed to escape the hospital, one phone call and I was on the back of his motorcycle (huge cast and all!) flying down the highway. Or sitting up all night while I cried myself to sleep in his lap the night my Dad died. Just like he is now to take a 40$ cab ride(one way) in the middle of the night to stay with me because some creep followed me home from a party.
And I will always be there for him no matter what he needs.
Weather it's to clean his house before his Mother comes to town or rub his shoulders with Tiger Balm when he's skiied or ridden his dirt bike too hard.
Or simply the soft gentle voice to calm him at the end of a stressful day of being the boss.
To my dear friend Rick....I love you and I don't know what I'd do without you!
Cindy
~Edit~
Angie did you get my e-mail?
9月23日 How do you....Help someone NOT make the same mistakes you have, when they won't even talk to you?
When they believe that "It won't happen to them." But it already has?
That no matter what you do you can't change a persons character, you only end up changing yourself and not always for the best?
Do you rent a sky writer? Or a 40 foot sign saying:
DON'T DO IT!
DANGER! ONLY PAIN AHEAD!
And how do you get them to see your only reason for saying this, is that you don't want to see them get hurt like you did?
I know these are hard questions and I will have to find the anwers on my own , the same as the person headed for the fall but MAN! Is it hard to KNOW what's coming and not be able to do anything about it.
Anyway...
Happy Saturday all!
Cindy
p.s.
I'm not talking about my daughter..lol! 9月22日 TGIF!Well happy Friday all!
This the first Friday in a long time that it is actually the end of my work week
It's nice to know that I will have a whole weekend without having to beg for it..lol!
Today is a Pro D day for the younger kids so no school, that's ok though because I have only one child in my care.
It's almost too quiet!..LOL!
Maybe we'll go for a walk, it will be easier with just one kid.
I have to say I like this kids mother. She has a clue!
This is not baby Brandon, but Travis he is 10 and a good boy, he has some pretty heavy health issues but they are under control, and nothing I can't handle if they flare up.
His Mom and Dad are such nice people.
But I drive the Dad crazy...LOL!
Because I insist on doing my own shopping....(hehehehe!).
This drives him crazy because I do it after all the kids go home, and that maybe at 6 or 7 at night. And well it's getting darker earlier now so by the time I'm done I'm walking home in full dark.
He knows when ever I do this because I have to walk right past their house to get to and from the store, and it never fails he just happens to look out the window as I walk passed.
So when I get home there is always a call from him yelling at me for not calling for a ride....lol!
It doesn't matter how many times his wife and I tell him that I'm ok and I prefer to do it on my own, and it's not like I'm out at 10 or 11 at night, he just gets so mad at me.
I have told both of them to just let me do this for now because soon enough it will be icey and slippery and I won't be able to get out on my own.
I promised when that happens I will call for help.
But for now I told him to stop looking out the window and he won't get mad...lol!
Have a good day All!
Cindy 9月20日 After the cleaningAfter the cleaning I had the BEST nap I have had in long time, I was up at 6 am and had to take some pain meds when I was done cleaning, I was soo tired I laid down and went right to sleep,
I only slept for a hour because my neighbor needed me to watch her baby Brandon again, he's so cute! I hope I get to watch him again, I have so much fun just watching him run around and play..... :)
The nap was such a good one because I didn't have a nightmare or is that daymare?
I've been having nightmares everytime I go to sleep weather it be a nap or a full night, I wake up at least once from a nightmare For the last few months, but today I didn't! YAY!
I hope it's a start to a new trend.
Sweet Dreams All!
Cindy After Some Shamless site raiding...Turning Down Unwanted MenWAYS TO TURN DOWN UNWANTED MEN HE : Can I buy you a drink? SHE : Actually I'd rather have the money. HE : I'm a photographer. I've been looking for a face like yours. SHE : I'm a plastic surgeon. I've been looking for a face like yours. HE : Hi. Didn't we go on a date once? Or was it twice? SHE : Must've been once. I never make the same mistake twice. HE : How did you get to be so beautiful? SHE : I must've been given your share. HE : Will you go out with me this Saturday? SHE : Sorry. I'm having a headache this weekend. HE : Your face must turn a few heads. SHE : And your face must turn a few stomachs. H E : Go on ,don't be shy. Ask me out. SHE : Okay, get out. HE : I think I could make you very happy. SHE : Why? Are you leaving? HE : What would you say if I asked you to marry me? SHE : Nothing. I can't talk and laugh at the same time. HE : Can I have your name? SHE : Why? Don't you already have one? HE : Shall we go see a movie? SHE : I've already seen it. HE : Where have you been all my life? SHE : Hiding from you. HE : Haven't I seen you some place before? SHE : Yes. That's why I don't go there anymore. HE : Is this seat empty? SHE : Yes, and this one will be if you sit down. HE : So, what do you d o for a living? SHE : I'm a female impersonator. HE : Hey baby, what's your sign? SHE : Do not enter. HE : Your body is like a temple. SHE : Sorry, there are no services today. HE : If I could see you naked, I'd die happy. SHE : If I saw you naked, I'd probably die laughing from Mo Moments Coffee BreakCleaning and treatment of the house went quickly, with Tessa's help she stayed home from school she stayed home today not to help but because she had a run in with a parked car and lost...LOL! (I'll exsplain later!, it is sorta funny!).
The cleaning wasn't has hard as it could have been because Tessa and I don't have it THANK GOD!, there isn't mass amounts of stuffys like there was when Tessa had it, again THANK GOD!
All we really had to do was the playroom, vacuum, and spray the couches.
All in all not bad.
Although I think the CM is really mad at me.....
Now ask me if I care?..
Go on ask.
The answer is: Not in the least!
Now on to Tessa vs Parked car.
The night of her sleep over party they went bowling and after bowling while they waited for the parents to settle the bill the teenagers were chasing eachother around the parking lot, Tessa was running and not looking where she was going and ran into a side mirror of one of the cars, she hit it so hard everyone was surprised she didn't take the thing clean off!
But it did spin her right round, and she fell to the ground moaning "Pain, agony, OUCH!" but despite this one of her friends leans over her and says "Are you okay?" as she pokes Tessa in her sore side....Why do people do that?
Anyway they went home and iced it and she was Ok for the next couple of day but that was until gym class yesterday.
Today she woke up really sore so I said she could stay home and rest.
But she also wanted to help with the cleaning, so I had her do some of the easy stuff.
Thats it for now.
Cindy
9月19日 Too funny, (thanks Pen)Don't Say This During Sex......
Have a good day! Cindy 9月18日 End of the day with B-Boy....9:13pm
The rest of the day with the baby was pretty good, the only real problem I had with him was he wouldn't eat for me.
The Mother had warned me he might do this, (he doesn't like to eat for Grandma either.)
But I found out that it's not that he doesn't want to eat, it's that he dosen't want to eat ALONE....
I figured this out because when Tessa came home and had her after school snack at the table he grabbed his little lunch bag and started to eat his lunch, well wear his lunch really..LOL!
Then he did it again when I made the other boy I look after dinner, the little guy ate the rest of his lunch and snacks just jabbering away the whole time! It was cute.
I have to say my day with him was very enjoyable, but MAN! I forgot how heavy these little butterballs can be....I've lost my "Mom arms"....LOL!
And speaking of the other boy, his mother JUST picked him up!
Ever since I gave her my notice she has been picking him up later and later, she has even began to "forget" to pack him something for dinner, knowing full well I won't let him go hungery.
Tonight I reminded her that she NEEDS to bring something for his dinner EVERYDAY, and she says "Oh I don't have much and I can't get anything because I have to get myself out of the hole I'm in..."
Yeah but she has the money to go out and have a few drinks!
Makes me sooooo mad!
I said "Well bring whatever you can, because I'm running low myself." I don't think she was happy with me but, I don't care I'm tired of my kindness being taken advantage of.
Anyway I'm off to bed.
Sleep well all!
Cindy
 So far, so WAY too easyOkay I have had baby Brandon for about 2 hours and all is well.
The Mother was concerned because he usually gets a little weepy when she leaves and that's with Grandma, so she thought he would be rather upset being left with someone he doesn't really know.
She carried him in and put him down and he made himself right at home, started chasing the cats and playing with the toys, I have some beautiful hand-made wooden toys my Dad made just before he passed, that all the kids just love...
It's funny I never tell them to be careful because they are well made and meant to be played with, but each and every kid just seems to know they are special and treats them that way.
Brandon and I went for a short walk and he started to fall asleep so we came back home, he is having a nap now.....
Now if the guy with the leaf blower right outside my window would grab a clue!.....soaking wet leaves, that have been stomped on by about a hundred kids on thier way to school can NOT be removed with a leaf blower! (at least not quickly)
all would be peacful.
To Be Continued.... Autum is almost here!               Just some of the reasons I LOVE the fall.
Plus I get to fall asleep listening to a down pour, I will sleep well tonight!
Peace and joy this work week!
Cindy
8:57am
In about a hour I will be looking after an 18 month old boy for the whole day.
haven't done that in a very long while, so with Pop-tarts and a large cup of coffee to fortify me I'm off to baby-proof my house!
Be back later....If I survive diaper duty!
