I am not meant to vacuum. WHY??? Well the answer is simple...I managed to catch the damn thing on fire!!!
Not as impressive as when I caught the washing machine on fire I know but hey it's close.
While I LOVE shopping...this was NOT what I had in mind.
I HATE MONDAY!!!

Where Monday Madness Meets Mommy Having A Heart Attack!!!
I hate Monday. Let me start by saying that much. I mistakenly thought today wouldn't be as bad as normal because (for the first time since the dawn of time itself) I was off work on a Monday. I however was wrong, Oh so VERY wrong.
I awoke to my DD (darling daughter for those of you not from bbc) jumping on me wondering why there wasn't breakfast and why I didn't wake her up for school. Apparently I managed to change every clock in the house to the "new" time (stupid time change) except the one by my bed. Having said this instead of the 6:30am my clock was telling me it was it was in fact 7:30am!!! Not the start I was desperately wanting to my supposedly "good" Monday. I attempted to wash my face however DD was whining that the bus was in the subdivision. I made her a very quick breakfast that she was not at all impressed with, and when she was done I sent her to get dressed and ready for school while I made her lunch. I figured since she is almost 7 this would be okay. Obviously my brain was not functioning properly and failed to see that this was not a wise move. I attempted to make her lunch however realized that I had NOTHING in the house. I ended up working on my days off so my plan for today was grocery shopping. I managed to find enough things to make her a sandwich...that could be an entire post in and of itself!...and threw in some snack items and figured it would have to do for today. I went to find Victoria to pack her in the car and take her to school...that is when I had a heart attack! Victoria had found the temporary hair streaking kit (which I thought I had hid after the episode back in September of last year.) and proceeded to dye her hair BRIGHT BLUE. It was EVERYWHERE!!! Her floor, her walls, her shirt and yes some of it made it onto her hair. I tried to keep myself from panicking and kept telling myself that "It is washable....It WILL come out." I managed to get the blue successfully off of the walls and the floor...then realizing that the blue was probably not going to come out of Victoria's beautiful blond hair I attempted to even out the streaks a little. I then washed her hair 4 times. It was still pretty blue but at least a more washed out blue. (Please scroll down for pictures of the "after" shots.)
We eventually did make it to her school....the amazing part?? She was only 10 minutes late. I was amazed too!!!
I don't think there is enough coffee to make this day better...

Monday Madness Vent....
Today sucked. Let me just start by saying that much. I am sore. I spent the day doing alot of heaving lifting/moving at work. I apparently did too much and I am paying for it now. I had a coding assignment due tonight and my stupid email decided to be a pain in the rear and not work right. I did manage to get it to work but I won't share with you some of the choice phrases I was saying while trying to get it to send. But the worst part of the day started before I ever left the house. I THOUGHT I was doing well. I was up, showered dressed, hair AND makeup done (impressed so far aren't you...don't be) Victoria had eaten and was in the bathroom getting ready. Her clothes were laid out, her backpack packed all that was left was to pack her lunch. This is where it all went horribly wrong. I had everything packed except an orange. Victoria likes it when I slice them into wedges for her so being a good mom I decided to slice one for her. I had not had coffee to this point and was still a little on the groggy side. Victoria yelled to me asking me where something was...I turned my head WHILE slicing the orange and sliced my finger instead..it hurt but i tried to ignore it. I threw the orange slice in the container and went to find Victoria. I put her hair in a pony tail then noticed her shirt was COVERED in blood. MY blood. My finger was bleeding and I got it on her shirt...she had to go change I went to the bathroom to try and clean my finger up and noticed i had gotten blood all over my scrubs too! I had to change...we almost missed the bus....we didn't but it was close. I was still bleeding when I got to work...Shannon fixed me up....thank goodness Monday is over for another week....

Monday Madness
Have you ever noticed Monday's just have that feel. The weekend as fantastic. Victoria was visiting with her cousins for the night so I went to Andrea's cabin with her and some friends. It was the first stress free day/night I have had for quite a while. I would have to say the 4 wheeling through the mud was AWESOME. Yes I know I am a girly girl but man it was fun. Once I left however it went down hill fast. Work was just madness as usual and of course the drama that is my life was at a HIGH prior to going in to work. Add that together with the nasty weather and you guessed it a HUGE migraine. That just made waking up to Monday worse than it needed to be. Victoria was so close to missing the bus again...I think tomorrow I will just drive her and save the issue.

Not so Mad Monday
Monday wasn't bad this week. I took a vacation day. Victoria had an inservice day. We stayed in bed and watched Curious George and took our time getting up and around. No interesting story for the mad Monday files this week lol

And We Still Made The Bus:
Mornings are chaos. Today was no exception and being a Monday it was, NO exception. The day started something like this:
6:00 am --> Alarm goes off....I hit snooze and hope Monday will go away
6:10am--> Alarm goes off again....guess it isn't going away and figure I better get up.
6:12am --> Check the pellet stove and realize it probably should be turned off so it can be cleaned...I however am far to cold to entertain this idea so I throw some more pellets in the hopper and head for a shower.
6:15am --> I get in the shower only to discover that I have not replaced the shampoo and conditioner bottles I emptied yesterday...GRRRR....I use baby shampoo and hope no one notices.
6:28am--> I can't get the tap to turn off...no matter how much I try the water just keeps flowing. GREAT!
6:45am --> I have FINALLY located a wrench and get the water turned off....and am left feeling like I would like another shower but realize there isn't time. I start cleaning the bathroom (This is a chore that should be illegal at that hour of the morning) and throw on scrubs. (Thank goodness picking scrubs that match doesn't take too much mental effort) I sit on the floor and dry my hair in front of the pellet stove.
7:00am --> I make the first attempt at waking up the sleeping princess.
7:05am--> I make the second attempt at getting the sleeping princess from her bed...she is not amused
7:10am--> I get the "awwww cereal again mom" *sigh Thankfully she eats it and lets me fill out the lunch program form from the week.
7:12am--> I realize that I have next to no change in my purse and paying for the milk order and lunch for 2 days will eat up all my change. Oh good...who needed coffee anyway!
7:15am--> A large crash comes from the kitchen followed by a "mom I am going to go brush my teeth"....hmmmm could something be amiss in my kitchen.
7:16am-->I step in cold oatmeal that has fallen on the floor from the plastic dish that came crashing to the floor. Cold oatmeal feels really gross....especially through a sock....EWWW. On the plus side at least nothing was broken in the crash.
7:25am--> I have clean socks and attempt to do my hair...I have the curling iron out and half the ends of my hair flipped the way I like when my daughter walks in still in her pjs!!!! I ask her to please get dressed the bus will be here in less than 10 minutes. She cooperates....I cannot get my hair to cooperate and I start to wonder if letting a five year old pick out her school clothes was a mistake.
7:31am--> Victoria is finally dressed. Pink camo pants, a sparkly pink tshirt and pink socks...she matches and looks cute...I am happy. I try to get my daughters hair in a pony tail. She keeps telling me it isn't in straight. I tell her it will have to do.
7:33am--> The bus enters the subdivision. I panic as we are not yet ready. I throw a juice box, and snacks in a lunch box (she is ordering lunch today) and manage to find her homework book and cram it all in her backpack. I notice my daughter has gone MIA. I still don't have make up on and have to leave for work as soon as she is on the bus...this is going to get interesting.
7:34am-->Victoria reappears wearing her princess tiara. I don't have time to argue and let her wear it. I make a frantic dash back to the bathroom to make sure I unplugged the curling iron...I did but don't remember doing it. We get in our outside clothes...I grab my keys and work bag. We finally leave the house.
7:36am--> I can see the bus coming up the road. I throw my stuff beside the van, grab Victoria's hand and RUN!!!!
7:37am--> WE MADE IT!!!! Victoria is getting on the bus and waving good bye. I start my jog back to the van to complete my morning.
7:47am--> I am in the Tim Horton's drive through. The line is insanely long. I get my emergency make up kit out of the glove box (don't judge me) and apply my make up (while stopped in line) waiting to order my coffee. They mess up and try to give me a large when I ordered and extra large. I didn't bother to argue though I should have and normally would have. I pay with change on the dash since my purse is empty of all currency.
7:53am-->There is a traffic jam at one of the toll gates to the parking lot....I manage to back up and pull into a lot further down. Great I m going to have to run.
7:56am--> I have parked and make an attempt to juggle my coffee, 2 work bags, my purse and id tag....I try to jog to the hospital without spilling my coffee or the contents of ANY of the bags I am carrying.
7:58am--> I am at work and on time...barely ...I think this should qualify for an Olympic sport LOL.
I can't believe it is only Monday!!!
6:00 am --> Alarm goes off....I hit snooze and hope Monday will go away

Migraine Monday
The weekend at work was insane. We are back in code purple at valley so stress levels are all running on high. When I don`t get enough sleep, don`t eat right and have high levels of stress I get a migraine. Late yesterday morning I could feel one (A BAD ONE) coming on. I was seeing the lovely yellowish light so I knew it was coming. I looked through my purse and work bag and realized I had just filled my prescription for Maxalt and left it all home. I struggled through and about 20 minutes before the end of my shift I started seeing spots ( like if you look at a bright light then close your eyes) and my fingers were tingling like my hand was asleep. I left work on time hoping that I could get my Maxalt in time. When I got home I realized I had my spare set of van keys and didn`t have a house key. I ended up having to drive to Berwick to get my spare key. By the time I got home I had a full blown migraine. I couldn`t stand light or noise and felt just plain sick. I managed to stay up until the end of the hockey game but had the sound way down. I thought getting sleep may have helped but it didn`t. I really want to call in sick but don`t dare to. The boss has been having meetings with people who call in sick and I really don`t want one of those meetings.
Anyway here is to Migraine Monday.....lets hope it doesn`t carry over into a terrible Tuesday.

Stupid Monday
Today has been a true Monday in every way possible. My computer finally decided to die....it won't even turn on. I now have to get a new computer and have NO idea what to get. I am using an extremely old machine it really only runs msn and the basic Internet. I will make it work for now.My stereo also died! This is a bigger problem as I have it on 90% of the day and need it in order to dance. I am starting to go stir crazy without it. A new one is on it's way from Future shop so hopefully that will be here soon. The van is making a strange noise again. I have said it before and I will say it again I need to marry a mechanic.
Clearly this is NOT my day :(
