Oh how i missed Blogger.....
Really... i did.

I have been SO busy with a situation with my work and my baby girl. She is definitely keeping me busy. She LOVES to go out and have a good time.

We went to my parents today.. just the two of us. She went for a dip in the pool my mom bought her and then fell asleep on the Hammock my dad made. She had a good day.

We are going to plan to go to the zoo sometime next month. I am looking forward to it. I want to take her to Centre Island too but the hubby thinks she's too young for that.... i don't think so.

Anyway, i am going to try to update this thing daily. I know i slack off a lot but there is so much going on i don't really have the time to chime in. If i really do have any readers, then i apologize for the waits. (i doubt i do because i never get any comments.. lol) One day i am going to go all out on this and have a MOAR followers.. hehe.

Well the Hubby is putting baby girl to sleep right now so i am going to go lay down on the couch with a mug full of chocolate icecream and ENJOY it!

Until my next post (hopefully tomorrow)

SWAG BUCKS!!!!!
I signed up today :)

I always heard people talking about swag bucks and had no idea what they were or what it was all about. So i asked someone i know and she told me what i should so to sign up and how  i can earn swag bucks... it's pretty cool especially for us new moms who are home and not back to work yet. If you are reasing and want to sign up, please comment and i will send you my referral link :)

I am looking forward to this summer with my family... i need to enjoy it because i have been miserable so much lately, and i really need to let my guard down and love life. I am hoping to go to the zoo, centre island and maybe the CNE or Ontario Place. Wherever, as long as we get out and i can bring Amaya out to enjoy herself instead of being in the house all day.

Father's Day is coming up. It is this Sunday. SO far i got my father a $25 gas card. I'm going to get about $20 worth of scratch tickets and lottery and throw those in too.. There is nothing that my father ever needs so we get him gas cards all the time.

I am watching extreme couponing and these stores in the US are SO NICE to their customers.. lol stores here would NEVER double coupons or let us use more then one on a product. Even the sites that mail you the coupons on ly send you ONE of each coupon... Ughh i'm moving to the states.. lol

Anyway, off to clean up around the house before the hubby gets home.

FML!!!!
No really... FML!

I am still so sickened and cannot wait to go on some job interviews. There is no wahy i can go back to work where i was working before i went on Mat leave... I cannot work with the same man.... My "Boss" (or soon to be x boss) is such a decietful man.. He claims he is an involved Christian and he lives for Jesus, but the things that he has done to me should not have been done by a Christian Man or any man that claims he lives in the name of the lord (i am not very religious but i believe in God..just not religion).. well maybe he is an ASS because he isn't afraid to go to hell? pfft. He's a liar (and i am going to prove it) a 2 face and he has a heart made of stone. It's okay though because if i have to go back to work for him i will make sure that i let HIS boss know EVERYTHING that he doesn't want him to know... ;)

Anyway, i don't have to go back to work until October but i have already emailed my resume to a few employer's ads that i found on Workopolis. I am hoping for a call back tomorrow or Tuesday so i can go in for an interview and see if it's worth going back to work early and for another company! My Resume SHOULD look good to them because of my abilities and experience.... We'll see.

My daughter is in her room fightimg my huband... She doesn't sleep for more then a half hour during the days (she only has 2 naps a day) and then at night she fights to go to sleep even though she is exhausted... WTF?

She is at the ae where she is hitting.. lol (i thought that comes later then 7 months but apparantely not) SHe slapped me in the face, i said no firmly then she looked at me, smiled and slapped me again. I had to turn my head because it was so cute and funny at the same time.. But what do you really do when a 7month old doesn't listen? All i could do is say NO! but she is starting to sense my weakness....

Well, she sounds quiet now, so i am hoping she is fast asleep or at least falling asleep.. i need some time to relax and enjoy myself before bed time because tomorrow will be a day of studying and i need to be rested because all the reading gave me a bad headache today.

I need this diploma so i can apply to the Toronto Police Service for 911 dispatch... Hopefully i can find something that i am happy doing so i can actually enjoy my life instead of be miserable all the time and make everyone else around me miserable :(

Until next post......................

ANNOYED!
Why do little brothers have to be such asses?

Sooooo my brother CONSTANTLY walks all over my mother and she lets him. It f*cking pisses me off. Her car is HIS car, her home is HIS home and her life is basically HIS life. She treats the little PITA like he's a baby. He's going to be 21 soon and has everything done for him all the damn time.

I am not saying she doesn't do anything for my sister and I but she goes out of her way to go overboard for this kid. Ugghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh SO mad at the entire situation right now. I need to vent and that is the purpose of this post...

Hopefully my day gets better because the stress i am enduring right now from my situation with work is enough to drive me to my grave.. i really don't need anymore.

Exciting!!!!!!
More babies!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


No not me.. lol
My cousin is due to have her baby any day now and so is a good friend of mine. I spoke to my friend this morning and she told me that her labor has somewhat started and she was heading up to her moms house because she lives close to the hospital she will be delivering at. It's so exciting and i am sure she is glad to have her pregnancy over and done with.. lol Today is her due date so she may have him / her tonight!

 My cousin is due on June 6th. Her first child came right on his due date so maybe this one will too?
She hasn't found out the sex yet, but i am sure....and was the only one to say it's a girl... She is positive it's a boy (even without finding out the sex) so we can only wait and see... As long as the baby is healthy i'm sure everyone will be happy:)


I have been thinking about another baby... As hard as it was for me with Amaya when she was first born i think i could do it ONE MORE TIME (no more then 2 kiddos for me..lol)


It's so nice to have that little new born in your arms, but the work with it all is so hard.. We'll see what happends...


On another note, i am thinking about making Manwichs' for dinner tonight. The hubby loves them but i haven't made them in a very long time so maybe i will to make him happy.


The little one is down for her afternoon nap (it's 12:45pm here now) so i am going to get the dishes done, put some food in my belly then off to clean up..


Here is a pic from the other day. I love my little cookie.

Wednesday June 1st, 2011

Wow!!! It's June ALREADY!!!!
Where does the time go?

I did some grocery shopping this afternoon. I got some goodies for some awesome prices. It's 1,2 and 3$ sale at the grocery store i go to so i got some good stuff for a buck or 2........ or 3 :)

My little girl is growing up so quickly. She will be 7 months tomorrow and had 6 teeth that have popped through the gum.. about 4 of those are through completely.. Their so cute!

She is already munching on Farley Cookies and Graduates Peach, Banana and Strawberry puffs... She loves 'Big Girl Food' I even shared my cherry popscicle with her yesterday...

She has been pulling herself up on things for a little over a month now.. She loves standing or sitting up.. not so much into laying down anymore.. lol She absolutely loves to go out.. it doesn't matter where but as soon as i strap her into that carseat she is all smiles.

My sister hasn't seen her in a few days. I was busy last weekend with BBQ's and Babay Showers so i didn't have time to bring her by or have company. I am looking forward to it!

Well, off to do something while she is sleepign because i have a feeling she isn't going to leave me alone when she gets up :)

Until next post....... Take Care!

Mmmmmmm Ice Cap!!!
And it was homemade too.....It was DELISH!

In the Magic Bullet combine:

1 tablespoon of instant coffee
1 1/2 (or more) tablespoon(s) of sugar
1 1/2 cups of milk
4 ice cubes

Blend it all up, top with whip cream ( chocolate is optional ) and serve.

So refreshing on a warm day!

---------------------------------------------

So i think i may go and grab a box of those Huggies Jean diapers. I am not a huggies fan but these diapers are so cute i need to buy at least one box....

I got my 2nd holes pierced yesterday. It didn't hurt one but and i was terrified to get them done.. lol i am such a wuss. I have my nose, tongue and eyebrow pierced (well i took out the eyebrow and tongue) i have had surgery 4 times and i was scared to pierce my ears.. lol

Anyway, time to do some shopping....

Thanks for reading:)

(I will fix all the mistakes later.. hahahaha)

LED TV... YAY!

Finally..............

We finally bought our new TV today. We got a 47" LG LED HDTV. The hubby is working on putting together the stand and then we are going to prob that bad boy on the stand and admire a nice picture.

Our current TV is not bad. It's also a HDTV just a rear projection and the picture is slightly off because we have had it for a little over 6 years so it was time for an upgrade.

I am drinking a nice ice coffee from Mc Donalds right now. my hubby is the best!!! He also got me a grilled chicken ceasar salad from Mickydees too so i will be chowing down on that in a bit.

My mouth is still hurting. I don't know what the hell is causing the problem. I need to make another dentist appointment and see if she can find the problem. I thought pulling the tooth that was originally causing the pain would solve the problems but i guess i was mistaken.

I am still stressing about my work situation which i am not sure if i posted here oe not but my X Boss is a real jerk and i cannot believe he deceived me the way he did but i guess what is done in  the dark always comes to the light and now i see. I am happy that i know now what kind of person he is. (I will get to the story some other day because the more i think about it the more upset i get.)

So until that 'other day' i am signing off.......


Thanks for reading :)

OSAMA BIN LADEN IS DEAD!!!

Well, so they say. I don't know if i believe it. They claim they threw his body in the sea because no country would burry him under their soil. C'mon WTF kind of garbage story is that? I don't believe it one bit.

This will be interesting to see how it all unfolds. I hope for the American people this will bring Peace and not another 'war'

On a better note, my daughter is 6 months old today... How fast does time fly right? It's crazy.

She can get into her crawling position and then sit right up. It's amazing how fast she is learning. I love her so much. I cannot wait for her to start talking because she has the cutest little voice and to hear her say anything puts a smile on my face <3

SHe's still doing great on solids. I am going to introduce Oatmeal because she is getting sick of the regular rice cereal and rasberry rice. She LOVES creamed corn but i don't give her too much of it. She loves watermelon, grapes and plums in her net feeder too. It's so cute to watch her when she gets it.

We are about to head out and shop for a new TV, so more to post a little later

BLACKBERRY's SUCK:( But i am anti iPhone  hehe


Well, not all but it seems like i am the one that keeps getting stuck with the lemons.


I have sent back 2 blackberry's so far because they were defective and now i will be sending another one back for the third time because i cannot make or receive calls... POO! I am going to lose most of the apps that don't copy over when you back up your phone.... The company gave me a $25 credit but it's still SO annoying.


I am really looking forward to summertime. It's so close i can smell it. I can't wait to walk along the streets of downtown and got to Centre Island and CNE with Amaya. I hated staying inside the entire winter with her, but at least she was too young to go out and enjoy the outdoors:)


I made Oxtail and white rice for dinner tonight. It was really good. The meat was falling off the bones. YUM! I am still too full for dessert, but that will either be Vanilla Ice Cream or just some baby spinach salad.


My head is pounding today. We had some good friends over that we haven't seen in a while. SUch good company... i love them, but with Amaya being fussy because she doesn't "know" them and all her crying made my head POUND. I am going to take a nice LONG hot bath with some epsom salt and just relax my muscles.


Tomorrow is another day...


<3

Saturday April 23rd, 2011

PROCRASTINATING... i know (Is that even how you spell it?)

Well Good Friday passed and tomorrow is Easter Sunday. We didn't do anything special because Amaya is too young still. We're going to my parents house tomorrow for Easter dinner.

Mom is making TWO prime rib roasts, Pasta al forno, potatoes and bell peppers in the oven with sausage, brocolli, salad, apple pie and easter cake. Oh and Lamb for her and my dad (no one else eats is.. lol)

That is A LOT of food for 6 people and i don't know why she is making so much. I guess she is expecting us all tot ake some home with us. Well at least there is a variety and i won't get sick of eating the same thing for 3 days.. lol

I'm having trouble with my boss... not to get into the whole thing, lets just say i was treated like a piece of crap and i'll be damned if i let then continue. I am really looking forward to the outcome of this to be honest.

My teeth still hurt :( i dont know what is causing the pain because i thought the tooth they pulled was the culprit, but i still feel a lot of pressure down under my molars.. i don't know.. my dentist screwed up my mouth... ughh. Next appointment i am making her take X-Rays of EVERYWHERE and telling her to FIND the problem.. tooth aches SUCK.

Oh a good note, am keeping the weight off. Its hard to lose it though but at least i am keeping what i lost off. Since the day i had Amaya i have lost 32 pounds and i am hoping to lose another 30. That is my goal before i go back to work in October.

I am off to bed.. i am exhausted, but if someone really is reading this i will leave you with a video i found pretty funny... g-night!

It's HILARIOUS... He's got moves;)

Monday April 4th, 2011

UGHHHHHHHHHHH MONDAY'S...............

The start of a new week.. Hopefully a GOOD week!

We went for a stroller ride this afternoon. We grabbed some groceries and something to eat real quick for lunch.
Tonight we are having pasta, meatballs and garlic bread. I haven't cooked in a few days because i have been so sick. I am just now feeling better. I thought i was better the other day but boy was i wrong...
I have lost 9 pounds from getting sick every night. I can't complain but i wish i didn't have the nausea feeling all the time. Hoepfully last night was the last of that!

My Aunt is in the hospital. She has been there for 3 weeks now and i feel so bad. She went in with pnemonia (sp*) and caught a bunch of other things while in there and anti biotics weren't helping. They drained water from around her lungs TWICE. The first time they drained 720ml and the second time they drained a litre and a half! I couldn't believe that.

It looks as though the anti biotics is starting to work and her white blood cells are starting to decrease slowly... I am so thankful for that and i cannot wait until she is home and feeling better.

I am going to start getting Amaya's baptism in order. We are going to get her baptised the first or second week of June so i am going to have to book the restaurant and call the church (probably a united church) That is the next big thing i have to get out of the way.

I am really looking forward to this summer. We are going to get out more and do more. I hate staying in all day but that's Canada.. lol The weather is starting to warm up now though and i am loving it... i just hate the rain :(

My older Cat has diabetes :( Poor little guy has to get 2 shots of insulin everyday.... He doesn't feel the needle but i feel so bad for him. I can't find it in me to actually give him the shot though, so hubby has been taking care of that....

Well, time to do dishes and laundry before my little angel wakes up.....

Wednesday March 30, 2011

HUMP DAY!!!!!
Gotta love Wednesdays... :)

I have been so sick the past couple days. I think it was some sort of stomach bug because i was so dizzy and light headed. I couldn't leave my bathroom for more then an 5 minutes at a time. It was AWFUL!

Gravol helped but it took a while to kick in and i would just let it out after i had taken it :( I feel much better today. I actually feel like a whole new person.

My hair is falling out like crazy. Everyone is telling me it was because of the pregnancy and it had happened to them too, but this is getting ridiculous. My daughter is almost 5 months old and it is still happening... It doesn't look like i am losing it though.. my hair still looks like it always has but when i brush it or put it up it just falls out in handfulls.. Ughhh it gets SOOO annoying.

I am going to get back to my workouts.. i have really been slacking. I'm just exhausted all the time. It's not like i don't have help ot i don't sleep at night, i just cannot find any energy... I am going to start eating a crap load of veggies and take my multi vitamins everyday because i need my energy back....

I'm going to go grocery shopping tomorrow and i need to figure out what we are having for dinner tonight.. heh. Probably processed crap but i just don't have the energy to cook from scratch tonight.... maybe tomorrow :)

More to come-

MORE BABY LEGS!!!

I made another pair tonight.... They look really cute on Amaya and it kills time when i need to:P

Yeah i messed up a bit at the bottom but you can't tell the difference when their on her :p

I am picking up my cousin tomorrow and we are going to have a little b day fun (her b day was on Mar 22)
We are going to the liquor store tomorrow... mixing drinks and then Saturday the hubby, Amaya and myself are taking my cousin to The Mandarin. My mom might come too!

Saturday is our 8 year anniversary.. I can't believe 8 years have passed already. I guess the time flies when you are with the ones you love...

OK... Finale of Jersey Shore is coming on soon.... more to come-

Wednesday March 23, 2011

BABY LEGS!!!!

I have a new addiction.. lol

I bought some from this woman on a site i go on and while i am waiting for them to come i decided to try to make my own just to see how they turn out.

Here they are!!!!

I'm actually pretty proud of myself....

I had to hand sew them because i don't have a sewing machine so it takes waaaay longer but i think i just might stick to buying them from the ladies and make a few pair when i have nothing to do (that is like once a month.. lol)

The hubby thnks i am crazy to sit here and do it but i actually enjoyed it!

The snow is crazy out there today.... it's storming out there and i just feel 'blah'.. going to cuddle up and watch a movie with the man tonight...Looking forward to relaxing!!!!!!

-More to come.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY CAT!!!

Today is my bestie's birthday... I LOVE her to bits and have no clue what to do for her b day.. We will probably got to this All You Can Eat Buffet called The Mandarin this weekend (Chinese food) It's sooo good there... The hubby and i are going to bring Amaya. This should be interesting.... Her first time in a restaurant.. hopefully she doesn't fuss.... *fingers crossed

We went grocery shopping today and she LOVED being in there... She likes to stare at someone until they notice and make a funny face and then she starts laughing with them... it's the cutest thing.

I have some stew steak (yes stew steak AGAIN) on the stove right now. I have to throw in a load of laundry *rolls eyes* and get some bottles washed and sterilized. Hopefully Amaya stays napping until i get this all done... Wishful thinking... i know.

Here is a pic from March 19th before we went for a walk to get a coffee @ Timmies...

She LOVES her walks...

She has 2 bottom teeth through the gum now.. i wonder how much longer until the top teeth poke through.. This child is growing up so fast it's scary.... I always rolled my eyes at the people that said 'Cherish every moment because they grow so fast' and now i find myself saying that.... Geez.... So depressing... lol

Anyway, off to slave around the house.. lol  Until next time- ;)

Friday March 11th, 2011

SUPER EXCITED TODAY!!!!

I am going to see my good friend and her two babies... She has a 16 month old and a 4 month old.. They are such cuties... Because her son was born not long after my daughter i haven't had the chance to make it down there because of the weather and i don't like driving with Amaya in bad weather..So the hubby is driving and i cannot wait to see them!

After that i am going to my moms.. She is going to do my tax return and i am going to help her set up her new LCD TV.. (big move for my mother.. lol)

After that i will probably come home and sleep because we have a long day ahead of us tomorrow at my cousins son's birthday party... He turned 3 a few days ago.. i can't believe how fast time flies.. like really....  Amaya is going to have such a good time with the other babies there.. Mickey and Mini are also making an appearance and i cant wait to get some pics with Amaya and them.... Hopefully she's not scared. heh

Well, time to get ready and get my little girl ready and off we go:) Will post pics of the party tomorrow and maybe some from tonight.

More to come.................

Wednesday March 9th, 2011

SO TIRED!!!

Well we got up super duper early so we could go and get our daughters passport done. It wasn't as bad as i thought and the wait time was just over half hour before our number was called.... Amaya did so well and didn't fuss one bit but she managed to take a HUGE poop while there so i got to take her ot the abthroom and change the stinky thing... lol
We are going to Florida to visit my inlaws late April so we had to get it done... i am looking forward to the trip but a little scared about it all.. heh

It's snowing here today.. the weather SUCKS and i cannot wait until it warms up so I can take my daughter out and see the world! Just going to the mall is super fun for her so i am looking forward to taking her to the zoo this summer.. She LOVES animals and i think the zoo is really going to WOW her. <3 She's my everything.

Tonight is left over pasta from last night.... it turned out really good too.....

Tomorrow I am making Chicken Parm with more leftover pasta.... (ugh pasta 3 days in a row but i won't let it go to waste) I made a lot of sauce so hopefully there is enough for the chicken parm.....

Here is how we make it...

Ingredients:

• 4 boneless chicken breasts, pounded to 1/2 inch thickness
• 1 egg
• 1/2 cup milk
• seasoned bread crumbs
• 2 to 3 tablespoons olive oil 
• Sliced mozzarella cheese, or more
• 1 jar of pasta sauce (straight tomato sauce.. no added spices)
• Parmesan cheese-grated

Preparation:

In a pot, bring your sauce to a boil. Add the spices you prefer when making your sauce. (i put salt, pepper, chili flakes, garlic salt and a pinch of chili powder) Once boiling, turn it down and let it simmer for 20-25 minutes.

Whisk together the egg and milk. Dip the chicken breast into the milk and egg mixture and then into bread crumbs.

Heat your olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.

Brown the chicken breast in the hot oil on both sides until golden, about 3-4 minutes on each side.

Set the chicken in a baking dish.

Slice your mozzarella into 1/2 inch slices and put two on top of each chicken breast.

Pour your cooked sauce over all pieces of chicken breasts.

Sprinkle the top with grated Parmesan cheese and a little more mozzarella (grated if prefered) and bake at 350° for about 30 minutes, or until bubbly. Serve and enjoy!!!

Makes a nice side for pasta.
