I'm not dead....
I just feel like it. I can't remember the last time I was this sick. You know it's bad when I can't go to work. I promise I will be back blogging soon but I just haven't been up to it.

Sick
I came on with the first part of a cold last night. This morning I thought I was going to have to go to the ER. I still don't feel great and I can hardly swallow. I have to leave for work in a little over an hour and it really isn't looking like a "fun" time. I am working with a great crew tonight so that really is keeping me from calling in sick. Wish me luck....
Oh and Happy Birthday Dan!!!!

I'm still alive
I know it has been almost a week....I will try to update you all with what is going on.
Last week of work was horrid...honestly anything that could have gone wrong more than likely did. It was worth it though to know I had 3 days off and having those 3 days land on apple blossom.
I took Victoria to the park in Kentville to see the fireworks...they weren't bad but honestly I am not sure the 10 minutes of fireworks was worth being stuck in traffic for 30 minutes. Saturday was busy. Victoria was in the children's parade with her ballet class. We met her dad and I got to spend most of the morning with him...Oh good one on one time with my ex...oh well....anyways Victoria had a wonderful time however I froze. I was cold and it was cloudy and looked like rain. It held off thank goodness. I ran into my friend Shannon and we decided we were going to go out that night. By the time Victoria and I got through traffic and got home it was time to head back for the grand street parade. The rain held off...until the parade actually started! Then it poured. Victoria had an umbrella so she was content to stay for quite a while. I got soaked to the skin. I was cold, wet and cranky. When I finally convinced her that she was bored and wanted to go home other people had gotten the same idea. I was forced to wait while some redneck figured out how to back his pickup truck out of the side road without putting the ancient trailer he was haling in the ditch or into a telephone pole. By the time I got home I was feeling ill I was so cold. I got into a nice hot shower and started to feel a lot better.
To kill time until going out with my firends, I opened my email to find a lovely letter from my ex all about his five year plan, his move, kids and how wonderful his significant other was. Honestly what a wanker! Did I want my nose rubbed in it?...no not really...will I survive? sure....will I forget? NOT ON YOUR LIFE! Will I forgive? Doubtful and defiantly will not forgive the insults on my daughter EVER! So what was my solution...do nothing. Yup that's right folks. I took the high road. I didn't write back. I haven't talked, sent a message on msn, text or called the aforementioned jerk. I hit delete....and that was the end of that.
Victoria was in bed early. I showered again and got all fixed up and when Shannon called I headed over to her friend Tammy's for a couple drinks before we went out on the town. Now seeing how it was raining cats and dogs we figured it would be no problem to get into KAPS. Wow were we wrong. Shannon, and the other people I went with stood in the rain for over an hour. Again I was soaked to the skin and cranky. I was stuck in line between some guy who kept grabbing my butt and some guy standing in the rain with his cell phone telling me I was crazy to be standing in the rain. HELLO CAPTIN OBVIOUS....you are standing in the rain too....but not in the line...so you are just getting wet and not getting into the club...yeah that's smart...dummy. It was worth it to get in, dance and drink. We had a ball and ended up staying past last call even though we didn't plan on staying that late.
Sunday was ballet day...rehearsals for both of us all day...ugh. Three words sum this day up....long, tiring and frustrating. I was glad to see Sunday done...however by about suppertime the nervousness set in. I realized that in a little over 12 hours I was having my performance appraisal at work. I felt sick most of the night and couldn't sleep. The appraisal wasn't as bad as I thought. I feel I could have done better but I always feel that way.I ended up having today off since my schedule got messed around...not sure why...not sure I really want to know why. I went to the city and did some retail therapy. I got Victoria a cute pair of shoes...I will post a picture once I find my camera (it really was a long weekend lol).Today was the last day for ballet....not sure either Victoria or myself will do any ballet this summer...may take a few months off.
Anyways that should bring you all up to date....Alot has happened...*Sigh...back to work tomorrow.

A Quiet Saturday
Today was a rainy cool day. Victoria is finally starting to feel better and I am on my way to feeling better as well. Stupid flu. Anyways here is what we were up to:
-I read to Victoria for a good portion of the morning, her favorite was "Lilly's Purple Plastic Purse" (I read it to her 100 times at LEAST, and that was just today.)
-Victoria and I made paper flowers.
-Victoria taught me how to draw a hamster..She assured me I will get better at it over time....I am still not sure why I will ever want or need to draw a hamster but hey now I know.
-We watched "Surfs up" again (*sigh I think I know the entire movie from memory now )
-After she went to bed I watched "Sicko" and "Blades of Glory". I enjoyed both but for very different reasons.

Monday Evening Update
Victoria is still not herself. She doesn't want to eat and is still taking a few naps a day. I won't be sending her to school tomorrow and hopefully she will be able to go back to school Wednesday.
I finished my e learning course for work YAY...and 10 days early I may add!!!
Today I spent the first 1 and a half hours in a meeting. It went great!!!! Shannon and I got a bonus for doing the new schedule. I got approved to take yet another course to advance at work AND we got wonderful praise on the project we have worked so hard on. A HUGE motivator for sure.
I can't wait for tomorrow. My hockey tickets should be here tomorrow. Did I mention I am slightly excited for two preseason Boston games this year. Anyone want to go with me LOL :P
Also my new laptop will be here tomorrow. I can't wait for that either. I guess I am just over excited and happy tonight.
3 backshifts then 4 days off!!! What to do....what to do.... :P

Happy Mother's Day!
Happy Mother's Day!!!! I hope all the mother's out there have/had a great day. :)
Just a quick update on my end. Yesterday I went to the city shopping. Victoria was on a visit at her dad's since her grandmother was there and it is mother's day weekend. I got lots of nice new clothes for Victoria, a new pair of jeans for me and a new laptop!! My laptop is being set up by Future shop and will be shipped to me. It should be here by Tuesday. I can hardly wait. I got back to the Valley shortly before supper time. Victoria was due home around 6:30pm but was early. She was sick, REALLY sick, with the flu. :(
Apparently she came down with it mid-afternoon, bad headache, fever, vomiting, the whole nine yards really. She continued that way until around 8pm and I was finally able to get some gravol and children's advil in her. She went to bed and had a good nights sleep and seemed better this morning. She wanted some toast and some water and seemed to be playing just fine. Mid morning her fever went back up and she said she had a headache. By noon she was asleep. It is now around 1:30pm and she is still sleeping. Poor kid I wish I could make her feel better. To make matters worse I have to work 3-11pm tonight. My parents will be with her but still I feel bad leaving her.

Mommy I has a cold
I knew Victoria wasn't herself when she wanted to go to bed and it wasn't even 7pm. She slept for about an hour and then I heard her little footsteps coming down the hall. She informed me "Mommy I has a cold"It came on fast and hit the poor little munchkin hard.
I got her back to bed without too much trouble but she wanted to call someone and talk on my cell phone. I let her play with the ring tones instead LOL. I am not sure but think she may have sent out a few text messages in the process. So if any of you receive a random text from me that is just gobbley gook or random numbers/letters it is more than likely the handy work of Miss Victoria.
This has been a long....HARD day and looks like tomorrow is shaping up to be the same. Work again early and snow and a sick little girl. Hopefully she will feel up to going to school (if there is school that is) since her school Valentines Day party is tomorrow.
