Frustration!!!

I am SO FRUSTRATED!! I want to scream and shout and tear my hair out!!! I swear some people live only to make me crazy. I am at a loss, I'm speechless...God take this from me it's too much.

I, the chef...

So today I, the chef, will be preparing the fruit salsa and marinade for the chicken I'm cooking for Janelle's party tomorrow.

If anyone wants to help I won't say no to a little assistance in the Kitchen. Mama Maria is going to Ladies Night Out tonight so I'll be all alone *sob* *sob*.

Back to the grind stone...

So Thanksgiving was as wonderful as I thought it would. Alison was back and it was good to see and catch up with her again. Too bad my sisters couldn't come home for thanksgiving but I hear that Anna made a wonderful feast for her friends in Alberta. I'm quite proud of her for pulling off such an incredible feat.
Becca got to ride a motorcycle for the first time on the weekend and it's in her blood now. I got to have my first taste of riding on the back of a motorcycle a few weeks ago and Stephen got his motorcycle learner license on Thursday. So now Mama is upset. Motorcycles are much too dangerous for her children.
Works fine. My boss hasn't started her new job yet so I can breathe easy for another day. My neck is still SO stiff. I'm thinking of going to the doctor because I don't know what else to do. I keep trying to stretch it out but it's not loosening up at all.
I'm such a nerd. I went to bed yesterday at 7:00pm. But I was actually alert at 5:30am this morning so I guess it paid off. I'm just tired of being tired.
Yeah, I know my life is SO boring but that's fine because when it's exciting it's not usually a good thing.

2 Thanksgivings!

I get to have 2 Thanksgivings this year! YEAH!! I have always been SO jealous of people who get to have 2 Thanksgiving meals. 2 Turkeys, 2 mashed potatoes, 2 gravys...mmmhmmm good!
Today Mom and I got a surprise invitation to go to the Rempels for Thanksgiving and it was a blast as always. And tomorrow we're going to Naylors and as per tradition that should be a barrel full of laughs too. An extra bonus will be that I have tomorrow off since it's a stat holiday...woot! I love stats...get paid to not work...you can't beat that!

Pain, pain go away...

My head is KILLING ME!! And has been for the last few days. No matter how many pills I take or even what I take it doesn't ever help. But my pain is nothing compared to Mom's. She's had a really bad hip for the past few weeks. She went to the doctor's last friday and she said it was probably a pinched nerve. Mom got X-rays done and she found out on this Friday that she has athritis in her hip as well as her discs in her back are compressed and are pinching a nerve. Because of the reno at church they took out the internal vacuum and gave her an upright one. Doc says it's the twisting motion used to use a vacuum like that that caused her discs to compress. She will never be pain free again but it is possible that the pain may be lessened. Anyways, I was at church today vacuuming for her just doing what I can to help her out. She is such a trooper but I know she is in a ton of pain. So right now we're just taking it one day at a time and praying that the pain will be manageable. Such is the life.

Joining the blogging world!

So I too have decided to join the blogging world.
I cannot believe the last 2 days that I have had. Yesterday I got a raise (finally) and then today my boss sat me down for a serious conversation. I thought I was getting fired. I couldn't believe that one day she would give me a raise and then the next fire me but that was where I thought it was heading.
Turns out that she has taken a job at another company as a controller. So, I'm going to be essentially running the company on my own. She is going to be working 4 days a week at this new place - theoretically she should be in the office for atleast one day but that won't be happening because she is going to be keeping on some out of office clients and needs to be meeting with them on that day. I'm probably going to end up working a half day on Mondays and working a half day on Saturday - this is on top of going to school. I am also going to be working more at her husband's company - probably even moving over there so there will be that huge mess.
I am going to have a hectic few months that's for sure and I am kind of freaked out by the huge responsiblity.
But by God's grace I will be able to handle it all.
