Catch Up (he he he sounds like Ketchup)

Alright so I have been lax with the posting in the last few days and I feel a little bit guilty, not a whole lot but a little. There have been some changes and they are totally worth mentioning!

Iowa: So Rob and Matt went on the yearly (one of a few) road trip to Iowa to pick up Robs 2 oldest sons Anthony and Connor. The trip went well as I stayed at home enjoying the house to myself ( and by that I mean I cleaned). On Saturday I went out for coffee with a friend who I used to work with, then in the evening I went with Jay and Kath to the states for grocery shopping, I didn't get much in the way of groceries as all the money went to the trip with Matt. I did realize while hanging out with Diana their awesome 4 year old daughter that I might consider having a baby at some point in my life, maybe not........ huh anyhoo.

Got home from the trip with Jay and Kath and there was still no Rob and little guys, continued cleaning and went to bed, woke up the next morning and there were kids!! Had a great day with the boys and went to my parents to see them, while there my brother Travis nicked Connors hand and cut his vein or something, all I know is that there was a fountain of blood in my Mothers backyard and there was kids crying, surprisingly not Connor.

Went to the ER and 5 hours later the kid emerged with 3 stitches and a battle wound, if this is how the first day starts this is going to be a very exciting summer.

Spent Monday with the boys, we visited Robs mom and Aiden in Port Colborne, and stayed at home hanging out.

Working on being able to hang out with the boys more and more!

Evan came over last night with his friend Sarah and it was a blast! I forget how much I enjoy when friends are excited to see me, either way I woke up this morning and am not at work thinking about not being at work and it is a conundrum as there is VTO but I don't want to take it, right I really shouldn't take it, hummm maybe just a little, ugh damn you VTO your a fucking gateway drug!!!!!!!

Random Thoughts and Feelings Pretty Heavy for a Friday

So I am more than willing to admit that I am a blog stalker! If someone blogs about another person or there blog roll has some interesting things in it I will jump over and read a little bit and see if it is worth following or if it is a one in a million post. Recently I have been "blog-stalking" my friends blog roll as she has some awesome stuff on it, one of her friends whose previous blog posts I felt were stupid and not worth my time have taken an emotional turn as she deals with the breakup of her marriage and is a single mom to two young children. Now I am easily captivated by blogs of this type, real human emotion and interest, dealing with issues, heartbreak, sickness, even death they captivate me and make me want to keep reading until the story reaches it's end or the blogger stops discussing it. This particular story has me slightly captivated, it is hard to become fully enthralled to the story when it is difficult to read the text (seriously some people have odd design choices) but none the less it is these blogs that I read that force me to sit back and examine my life, my relationship, and my direction that I am going and for these blogs I thank them, it is high time I got over my past and planned for the future by living in the present!!

Seriously where did all that come from, leaving the world of sappy and going back to our regularly scheduled blog! 

Had Diana's birthday Party yesterday and I love hanging out with the Stewart Clan! First off it is so neat to be called Auntie Nicole I love hearing it! There were all sorts of people there, Auntie Hollie, Auntie Rose, Jen, Glenda, Auntie Lauren, Rachel, John, Kaths sister Su, Jamie (Kaths brother in-law), Char (Kaths oldest neice), Kaths Mom, Kaths Dad, Becca (John and Rachel's daughter and clearly Diana's Idol), Jamison ( Kaths nephew), Kath, Jay, Me, oh yah and the birthday girl Diana!!

There were some pretty hilarious moments and it was so cool to put a name to the faces! I was entranced by Kaths Body oil and people laughed at my simplicity! The food was amazing, the cake was Divine, the presents were well received and there was a little bit of naked which helped round everything together! 

Have to say that when I see how happy Kath, Jay, and Diana are together it pulls at the heart strings and makes you realize how much happiness a child can bring into your life!

well we found a way to make it back to freaking sappy ugh!

I am off to try and book the comic con off from work!!

p.s. Yes even though she drove me nuts the last time she was here I even missed Tori a little bit at the party.

Dark

Have you ever seen your entire street in the dark but you had power in the house? No, well I did today and it's freaking weird. The normal hum of electricity is gone and it is just black silence. I realized that I loved it, the quiet the ability to not hear anything it was amazing.

Well that's my little blurb about enjoying the dark!
