Gayle’s mind blowing thoughts ;)

nuff of depressing stuff. Chin up, smile and move forward.

LOL, Hunter wants me to make him 10 mittens.  He loves the mittens I make for him.  I make them so that his fingers stick out the ends.  I noticed he didn't like wearing other mittens that cover his whole hand, so thought I would make him half mitts, worked.

Darius wore the mitts I made for him as well.  I made me some. Now I will be onto makeing leg warmers for me and Amber.

Doh, the knitting bug has caught me.  Been collecting wool, trying to figure out how to store my knitting needles, have to make a case for them, so that I can organize them.

I did think about doing craft fairs this year, but it is already too late for that, dont' have much made and not enough time to make things, cuz the fairs are already starting to happen.  There's one this weekend.

Have you ever had a premonition? Did you heed it?
Submitted by aynge.

Yep.  I have had dreams of things that I couldn't possibly know of.  IE: woke one night to a very loud ear shattering scream.  With a feeling that something was wrong with my boyfriend.  Then I found out he was injured on the job.  He was a roofer and spilt the hot tar on himself. I also dreamed of a house, I could describe the yard, the street, the inside of the house. I saw a little boy playing in a sand box in the corner of the yard. It was my b/f's house that he grew up in.  What the heck was this scary connection that I had with him?

Since then there have been little things. I used to be able to be able to read a deck of cards.  I know what the next card was at least 80% of the time.

I was driving Amber to drop her off at Darius cub scouts meeting.  Hunter was in the back seat asking question after question.

Where we going? Why? etc,

Going to drop mommy off at cub scouts at darius' school. Sweetie.  Was my reply.

He was parotting back and says going to drop mommy off at darius's school, sweetie'  Then he laughs and says 'nana you are not sweetie, I am sweetie'.

LOL, guess I got told.

We was at language class.  When there we have to sign an attendance sheet.  Instead of walking all the way over to the other side of the room.  I asked Hunter if he would bring the booklet and pen over to the person way over there.

He took the book went and gave it to 'Joe'.  I asked him to give him the pen as well.  Hunter then looked very confused and started to look all around him, turning in a circle, with a puzzled look. Then asked "where is the pen?'.

I started to laugh, amber saw and laughed as well. Hunter had the pen in his hand.  He looked at us for a second, was about to ask what we were laughing at when he noticed that he was holding the pen.  He chucled and walked back over to  hand the pen over.

was a long week.  I hate the week back after holidays.  It's always so dang busy.

I feel punk.  I think I have been fighting something off for about a week now.  Should I let it catche?

We put 2200 kms on the car.  Travelled from here to Airdrie, Red Deer, Edmonton, then home down the yellowhead.  Was a long trip home.  We left Edmonton at 8 am and got home at about 8 pm.  Was a long day. The worst part was from Westwold to Vernon.  OMG.  We did, at time, 60 km/hr, it's a 90 km zone.  It was raining really hard, they were repaving so there was no center line, a couple of times I looked up we was on the otherside of the road.  There was fog, it was dark and hard to see anything.  That was the longest hour of our trip.

We went to Denny's for birthday breaky.  I got Amber a headband that said Happy Birthday, she wore it all day.  Then she came to bingo with us, but her and I ate something bad as we spent a lot of time in the washroom :(.  I didn't eat from sunday morning till monday morning.  We stopped at the casino on our way home, as they both got 5 bux to play on slots.  At bingo they both got 10 bux towards their cards.  Kim won 90 bux.

It's been a very long week at work. I am very thankful that it is friday.

how is it that some have weak susceptable teeth and others have strong resistant teeth?

Unfortunately I can't make it for Paul's wedding this weekend.  Sad, but we had booked our holidays back in the spring, way before we got the wedding invite.

If it was on Sunday instead of saturday, we would have made it.  Being saturday, kim would be getting off work at 6 am, and if we drove to Langley, it would be his bed time right after we got there.  Alas, no wedding for us.

We will be leaving here on Sunday heading to Airdre first to stay with lynn and stan for 2 nights, then 2 nights with will & kristy, then the last 2 nights with reg and dawn in edmonton.  Will be a long drive home on saturday,  thank goodness I WON a portable dvd player when I was in winnipeg 2 weeks ago.  Yep I won a phillips 9 inch screen player.  It is awesome.  It even came with a lighter power cord.  Now I have to think on which movies to take with.

last week, we decided to go for a drive into rutland, and we almost got totalled by one of those great big cowboy trucks.  You know full size, throwing it's weight around.  We was going thru an intersection and he was wanting ot make a left hand turn.  He came so close to hitting us that Amber saw his lights thru passenger side window.

I know I am behind in blogging.

I went and got the winter tires put on yesterday, and afterwards I noticed a really bad shimmy when I applied the brakes. YIPES.  I was very concerned, thought it was going to cost us big bucks to get whatever it was fixed.  I asked this mechanic guy and he said it was more than likely a warped rotor/drum.

Well I took it back this morning to where I got the tires changed, and they took a look and determined that the warped drum was caused by their mechanic applying a hammer to the drum, so they fixed it for nothing.  Woot.

I was worried that if we had to pay big bucks then it would seriously cut into our vacation moolah.

I want to get off.

LOL, it seems to be non stop these days.  I guess that happens when you become involved with kids.

Monday night is language class, woot, I am happy to be involved in that again, however, when they serve their food, its traditional, was deer soup this time.

Tuesday night - was an open house at the recreation/school, was fun, had hot dogs and burgers.  I cheated and brought home two burgers for kim's dinner

Wednesday  - tonight is family night.  And I hear the recreation department is putting on rock climbing,

Thursday

Friday

Saturday - we squeeze in thrift shopping, depending on funds that is.

Sunday - Kim and I spend time with his parents and then go play bingo

I dont' know if it is good or bad, but I have developed a technique to get Darius to sleep.  When I go to tuck him in, he ususally conks out within 5 to 10 minutes.  The secret is patience, you have to stay with him until he is fully conked out, otherwise he will just get himself all worked up again and be awake.
