babysitting and all that fun stuff :)

Hey Everyone,

I know I know what you are thinking, a Saturday post oh my lord, what is wrong? Well, I am at my sister Helen's house and all the kids are in bed, and tv is kinda crappy when you are all alone, so I thought hey why not do a post right.

So far things have been going really well, even though my sister picked me up like an hour late today, but should I expect anything different she is always late -- so then we had to go and pick up Andy's mom and sister from some shopping place, which kinda took forever, and then we stopped so that Helen could arrange someone to bring us some dinner, since her house is in the middle of nowhere. Her friend was very nice to bring us supper, but she didn't finish work until like 6:00 pm and the kids and even myself were just starving, but it was all forgotten once it got here woohooo!! Today has been the day of watching kids movies, first on the insistence of my littlest nephew, David we watch Pokemon forever, not bad, kinda scary for kids I thought, but what do I know! Then we watched 2 fun filled dvd's of the teenage mutant ninja turtles, which I loved as a kid, but it has kinda lost its mystic a bit.....then finally I convinced them to watch the Cat in the Hat, the one with Mike Myers, I still hadn't seen it so hey why not, I know RJ won't ever watch it with me right hahah harf harf :) So ya that has been most of the day!!! Everyone is alseep now, my oldest nephew Nicholas just went of too bed, and now its 11:00 pm and I got nothing to do, I was gonna call RJ, but he has Rich over, and I dunno I think that is kinda rude right :)

What else is going on? Hmmm oh ya I hate my boss -- well store manager I have decided he is not my boss so there hmphhh -- so there -- he was suppose to be off all last week, but oh no, still has tooo show up and cause everyone problems -- our deli manager called in sick on Tuesday so Steve called me, I said sure, but ya I would like someone to cover my 4-9:30pm shift then, because I really do not feel like working from 9 am until 9 pm again -- its too much, I begin to get mean for no reason and its just because I am so tired and drained by that point. So, ya he says to another co-worker who was trying to find a person to take my night shift, why can't Liz work, doesn't she need the hours, and the day is not that long!! Pls ya its not that long, because he will be sitting on his ass at home thats why it is not that long --- I will give the manager his due he does put in a lot of time, but I am sure he gets a lot out of it as well, he has a beautiful home from what I have heard and I know the kinda money that store makes so he is doing really well. So that really pissed me off for the rest of the day ....... I have been contemplating just quitting the deli all together because I feel used there.... I feel like hey someone called in sick thats fine Liz will kill herself and work tooo many hours -- I did it a few weeks ago to help out because the deli manager was really sick, and mean like death knocking at her door kinda sick, so fine if this helps her to get better I will do it, but crap I am not working like that all the time, it is too much, especially since I hurt my back about two weeks ago, and it is still killing me today, I just dunno what to do at this point !!!!

what else has been happening, not too much stuff really -- RJ's kitty is the sweetest, Banky always curls up on my neck and falls asleep literally in my hair, its amazing and just purrrs away heheh, just a cutie. He also has some of the strangest behaviour, such as on Thursday night I went over to make RJ dinner after he came home from work, and Banky was determined to get up on the window ledge and he finally did make it, only to sit infront of the screen and push his face up against it. RJ thinks he is looking for birds, because he can hear them, but he can see them !! But its too adorable :)

Ya know what I noticed my sister does not have one picture of our side of the family up in this house -- she has a few with Brian in it, but thats all! Ins't that weird, my mom doesn't think so, but I think it is. It kinda feels like we don't exist here, like we are the freak family members who get a sympathy invite over a Christmas. so ya - just a thought!

Anyways I should go and get some tv watching over with, so that I can go to bed early cuz I know those kiddies will have me up early tee heee!!

toodles all, be good got it :)
Later the Liz ;)

lots of news, so I am gonna miss some stuff

Hey All,

Its been quite a long time since the last blog, but its finally cool in my room, since summer is kinda officially over, so sitting in here is no longer as bad. Well the biggest of news, RJ and I (well kinda) got a kitty. He is adorble, Mr. Banky Edwards Brazeau - he is quite a little house destroyer however.....he turns the simplest things into toys, such as plastic bags and RJ's sandles. So far the only corrective behaviour that we have sorta had to inflict is stopping him from attacking our toes - so the squirt bottle has been used a few times, but he is learning. Banky went to the vets last weekend -- holy smokes it cost $200 and change, but he did have fleas, so I guess that was expected, with his first shot and everything -- but he is feeling a lot better now with his first flea treatment, they are all gone! Banky came with us tonight to RJ's moms house, he was a riot, he was attacking Topher if you can believe it. He would jump on his leg and try to climb up him and then he took Topher's tennis ball, oh that did not go over well, with the puppy! They were cute together :)!!

Hmm what else is new, working lots of hours lately at the Price Chopper -- roughly oh about 91 hours in the last two weeks, mainly because our deli manager aka boss lady, was really sick about two weeks ago, she had some mysterious marks on her stomach, and the doctors could not figure out what was causing them! Well, RJ and I believe that it is due to stress, because she took over this position out of nowhere and really she has never been one to fight with ppl and ya kinda have to be tough with distributors and even customers for that sake! So ya, thats whats going on there! However, if she does decide to leave, our Manager offered the position to RJ which would be great cuz he would be awesome at the job!! woohoo !!

Still looking for some jobs, but still kinda feeling like it is a waste of time, cuz hello why would they hire moi, I can't sell myself -- I remember when I went to volunteer at this correctional institute in Guelph, the lady asked me why I would be good at the job and I went blank, why because I don't know why I would be good at this, I just love the system and working within the criminal justice system, but who knows I will keep looking -- and hopefully something will come my way right -- righty roo!

So I am babysitting next weekend for my sister and her three munchkins -- don't get me wrong they are cute kids, but they have a lot of issues -- such as being really picky with there food, and I dunno but when I was a kid there were not a lot of options, it was kinda what my mom served was what you got, but my sister isn't really like that - she lets them sorta decided and its just frustrating. But hopefully it won't be that bad! I won't see my RJ all weekend though and thats just gonna suck!! We haven't really been apart much since I have gotten home from school, so we are not use to it anymore tear tear !! But I am sure there will be lots of phone calls, which is always a good substitute hehehe

Anyways gotta run -- my starting over show is gonna begin soon...........later
HOpe to blog again soon
later the liz :)
