The football whistle
Probably the most annoying thing going, secondary to trying to wake the boy up to go to school.... or to wake the boy up at all in fact.
That's OK .. cause I used the secret tool called an alarm clock that helped matters the last two days .. when he had to be at work at 7. I mean crap .. he had just gone to bed at what ...5:13? At any rate ... he is done is early morning working for the week ... thank the lord to the mother with the patience of a golden rainbow ...
The GreyCup is in our big city today. Ick. Football. I once upon a time made the fatal mistake of going to actually watch these large events, thinking that I would get it ... and what I did get was the fact that I felt like an idiot ... cause I didn't have a clue what was going down. AND the freaking whistle ... CHEESUS I HATE the whistle. I'd rather listen to a cowbell ... but apparently that's not the way it is done.
Curse them.
Well .. I have spent a huge HUGE HUU-UUGE portion of time this past week deleting, moving, copying and cleaning ... THIS computer out. The memory WAS full. So full it did look a little bloated and was a tad bit moody in actuality. I am not really sure if it is in fact as cleaned out as it should be ... I think a little more fruit lax from above, will make the final clean out a blow out!
In the meantime .. I am going to throw some more pictures into this thing .. because NOW I know that I can not delete the library, cause that is going to piss off our little friends "The Ipods". GAWD damned friends .. now these are clearly OBJECTS that I can no longer live without. I think I might love it more than the three humans and two dead dogs combined.
OK .. enough with that gawd damned whistle. I am thankful however that this is the most football that the husbandman will watch for the entire year .. is todays game .. so you know .. I am sorta thankful .. thanks GOD. I am also thankful for the DOOR that husbandman put on the den .. cause it's been shut ... as of now!
In other things ... will fiddle with the computer .. and the camera .. and you know .. just waste time while I should be doing other things that I know I should be doing .. but just can't be bothered ...
MORE IMPORTANTLY ... I got rid of my 21 year old couch today ... and the other 22 year old couch that wasn't mine to start with .. but I ended up with .. that I gave to the sister ... who I think she might be happy with it .. once she stops being mad ... about something.
I can't cure the world .. but I did definitely cure my livingroom of some old stock of something ...

2nd time around
2nd attempt at getting rid of the loveseat.
(3 responses in 20 minutes off of craigslist with the 2nd ad)
2nd pack of mentos.
2nd refill of icecubes
2nd glass of wine.
2 keyboards in front of me ..
2nd time typing on the computer when I should have been txting on the phone.
Where is my second brain when I need it?

Resignation incomplete
I'm still on this.
I'm still working on that letter.
I'm still trying to NOT say what I really wish to say.
....
In other things as equally boring as that ... would be:
Called the school,
talked to the VICE.
He sounded cool,
he sounded nice.
Worked on a plan,
or something like that ...
chatted about things like:
being a magician with a hat.
Ok so not really a magician;
but more like a sleuth;
keeping a watchful eye,
on a particular youth.
.......
AND it gets more boring ....
The boy called it quits;
at the separation game.
All of the non-talking,
was driving him insane.
He marched himself to the room,
where the forbidden one stood;
Politely wished to conduct himself,
as any young man should.
And that is it;
a trial of separation has ended;
hopefully again,
he wont get suspended.
......
AND STILL the boringness continues:
A movie in the making,
of which nothing is known ...
A sound engineer sent some music,
of which true talent has been shown.
Information has been swapped;
and now they lie in wait...
Will the music be used ...?
Can this be their fate ..?
.....
DONT let the snooze button wake you:
A certain pretty Fuss,
with all her craziness aside ...
has opened up some peoples ears
With a "Manners Speech" to present far and wide!
That's it .. I'm out ... Happy Monday people of the universe.

writing a resignation letter 101.
How does one do that ... ??
Excuse me .. it is unfortunate that I am writing this .. but I QUIT.
Sort of.
I QUIT because ...
It has become impossible to split myself into more than one being, or it is at the current time in our universe.
I quit because lots of people have a lot of money to be given out, except I can't seem to get anyone to give any to me... and it really isn't for me .. it's for the group.
I quit because the pieces of paper that I have to keep track of somehow don't all fit into one binder, or one bag, or one bookcase, without being lost .. because I work out of a box.
I quit because although I do get paid to do a position, I also end up being a volunteer. How is that completely possible?
In an essance I look at volunteering as a way of moving forward. An opportunity to make gains where otherwise you wouldn't have a chance at "testing out your skills", in reality a volunteer is ultimately someone that comes, gives and leaves .. no strings attached ... except ... when you end up being a paid volunteer. Wow, now theres a string that's attached!
I quit because I have let myself fall prey to thinking about a singular item 24 hours a day. Now I have work/quitting OCD .. and I spend half my time telling myself to not think about something, and the other half the day telling myself to write something.
I quit because I just don't know what to do any longer .. and the longer it takes me to quit the longer I stay, and the longer I stay, the longer it takes me to quit. .. not sure how I ended up on this treadmill of happiness ...
OH right .. it is the PEOPLE. Hook. Line & Sinker. What a snag.
Maybe I wont quit for today afterall ...

mind warp.
Somedays I am not cut out for this parenting gig.
I lick my knife, make messes, purchase outrageous items, ( OK .. so purchasing livingroom furniture shouldn't be OUTRAGEOUS after 21 years of the current furniture no?) want for everything in the world, text non stop, dream of being great at something, I don't know what I will be doing in 10 years, hope to pull out my paint brushes, paper and pencil and do something ... tomorrow ...
Then I wonder ... how did I get here .. with these two characters ... !
I am more them, than I am of me, except I just get to be older.
Highly mind warp like .. I think.
( I have pictures .. of stuff and things .. haven't downloaded into FULL computer!)

Again ...
I ask the question ...
Or more like a comment .....
Wait .. a mere expression ....
No, it's exasperation ...
Try an eyeball roll with a fixed glaze ...
Nothings good enough.
Again .. another sigh.
~~~ In things fairly funny, at least to me it is ~~~
I txted the Jimmy the other night. It was 4 AM. I asked where his ride had left him, other than high and dry. He said that his ride was sleeping, so were the other people that were also depending on a ride. So were the other other people that they had gone to visit, on foot, minus the ride. OHMAGAWD. Jimmy ... really ... so there he was STUCK at his friends house .. in the middle of the night, didn't know what to do ... so he was sitting there. Since I securely had him in place via the txting machine, he promptly and silently slipped through the front door, and began marching home ... the trail would have been the quickest easiest route to stealthly find his way home .. but since bears and coyotes inhabit dark trails at night, he set out along the LONG ROAD HOME. My Jimmy ... the musical genious, movie trivia marvel, the social robot. Seriously. He is out ... walking at a pace faster than his heartrate (probably over 200 beats per minute!) .. making his way home in the dark and fog. He is giving me a play by play of the horrifyingly scary event ... so much so that he proclaims .. that he is LEGEND.... and is walking down the centre of the street in an attempt to not meet up with random bears, thugs or zombies. Eventually, just as the battery on his phone is about to sparkle away .. the LEGEND says ... come pick me up ... you will see me ... I am the ONLY one out here ...

What I would like today:
More humour.
More craziness.
More laughter.
OH.
Well I have already done all that.
Since I have completed my days request as a smooth 11:11 in the am, what do I have left ...?
Well there is that laundry detergent that I forgot to buy ...
There are the pansies and kale, and bulbs that I am most excited to plant.
I have to continue to empty pots .. which really does excite me!
Of course there are the blue sky colours to catch, along with the vibrant fall colours mixed among it.
AND .. because I am daring I am throwing together a pot of soup. AND because I am even more daring ... I don't even cut up the vegetable .. I just wash, chop the ends and throw in a pot. Sounds strange. Of course it is .. but that is how I roll folks. Must get that done by 11:30 .... it's 11:14. For no other reason that I have to get outside and enjoy this most
EXCELLENT BEAUTIFUL WONDEROUS of days ...
OH .. and wash my car that I just spent 13 bucks at cleaning .. clearly I am not good at the car wash place either.
More craziness.
More laughter.

Someday itsa Monday.
AND that day is TODAY!
I like my Mondays, I really do.
It's the end of my working week.
I like the people that I work with.
I like the people that I get to see.
I like everything about a Monday.
It fills me full of glee.
In other things adventuresome:
Going to collect the mother tomorrow.
She has been visiting my aunt.
I am sure my aunt had to go buy a freezer just to keep all the stuff that they baked.
I am sure of it!
We will adventure off at 0600 in the morning again.
The weather I think will be the CRAPS .. and it's my turn to drive through the crap weather and crap location! (Past Abbotsford, Chilliwack, Hope ... not a great drive in the blackness, wind and rain) ...
BUT then ... when we get to Kamloops we will be meeting up with a friend for coffee. How cool is that ... three times the charm. I put some pics up on the face.book page ... and our longtime friend says ... what the heck .. you guys are driving through .. and you are not stopping in to see me!? So tomorrow we will!
In other things ...
Saw a friend last week ... it was good to see her ... in fact great to see her ... got to go to a fundraiser ..... nice to see a whole whack of people out to support someone that needs some help ... thatsa good feeling.
In other things far more boring but mind boggling ... I need some help in the education department, and navigating through it. Or not. I would prefer THE "or not" ideal, however I'm not sure that is the best way to proceed. My brain is telling me to go with the "or not" situation, but something is propelling me to act on my instinct. I'm confused, but this isn't the first time.
S.H.O.C.K.I.N.G!
My daylight hours for the bears are running slim. Will have to conquer at least ONE good picture before they head off to bed ... that is my next goal. .. Well, that and get my memory card back ....
I'm off ...

Big and small ...
I see it all.
The LITTLE dogs were doing some BIG barking the other day.
I should have taken better notice. Well I did notice, but didn't realize that only a LITTLE part of our fence was knocked over by a BIG bear that is currently touring our neighbourhood.
There is a BIG field next to us, and today I noticed that there is now a LITTLE gate that has opened up the field to our viewing pleasures. However, there is a rather BIG notice parked on the LITTLE gate that there is still no tresspassing.
BIG thanks, from LITTLE me.
Last night ...
I was down at the BIG fields, looking for LITTLE bears, however all I saw were BIG bears, looking LITTLE in all the fields.
Can someone please tell me what BIG setting I am supposed to be taking pictures at, in an effort to get one LITTLE picture?
The husbandman has had the OK to take off his arm holder thingy that makes him look like roboman, whatever that is.... now I have BIG plans for his LITTLE problem arm .. now that he is back in partially working order.
I have this not so BIG stained glass window that is over a hundred years old, sitting propped up inside our LITTLE laundry room. It needs a BIG effort to have a LITTLE frame built around it ... it seems like the perfect physio effort for the roboless husbandman to undertake.
~~~
Currently I have the LITTLE heater throwing out some BIG heat while I am typing this .. the weather is wicked and wet and BIG raindrops are flying over our LITTLE homestead.
The BIG girl that I now own had a LITTLE bit of her lovely long locks chopped last week .. now the BIG blond ponytail is a LITTLE on the smaller side ... but not by much, however it was enough hair to make a BIG change in her LITTLE attempts to actually do her hair.
This morning the BIG son had me fix a LITTLE spot of his hair, which creates such a BIG ordeal for a LITTLE smudge of hair that insists on sticking up. I think we will make a BIG trek over to the LITTLE hair cutter place to remedy this LITTLE situation that creates such a BIG time waster event in the morning.
In more things about me ... I didn't go for a BIG hill challenge yesterday, because of the LITTLE time that I left for myself after the working adventure. Now that today is filled with BIG raindrops, I am left with LITTLE options as to what I will do to ensure that this BIG body gets a LITTLE exercise.
Well ... there is a LITTLE bit of coffee left, and I have a perfect BIG enough cup to fill it with .. before the next BIG adventure begins for my LITTLE workday....

Missing things
The sun hasn't even left us for the season and I already miss it.
It will be out again in full force tomorrow, and then in hiding by Wednesday. Thursday it rains, and Friday is cloudy .. and by then it will be official ... fall will have arrived.
I miss summer already.
I miss many things actually.
I mostly miss my time.
I have a limited time here, and I am not sure when I am going to reach that potential.
Most of my time is obligated. If my time isn't obligated then it is used up, taken up, borrowed, consumed and manipulated.
Even when I think I have time, I don't.
There are days when I say to myself .. "ok, will get that started when I have time"..... still waiting.....
Of course the time is now ... and some things need to be flung to the back burner when other time sensitive events happen.
My friend commented the other day that why am I sitting listening to the Jimmy play, when that is the reason he has a CD now. Ok ... he might have a CD, but he also has about a minimum of 5 hours worth of music sitting in his fingertips, which he always wants me to listen to. It's a double edge sword .. he is willing to sit and play, and converse, and build his repetoire, which springboards him into being a better musician ... or I could go out walking/running and build muscle and burn calories, and yae for me I did it ... but at the end of the day ... I will still be able to do that .. tomorrow .. and who knows where the Jimmy will be tomorrow ... so HIS time is now.
Am I kind with my time, or simply kinda stupid?
Where is the Mr. Husbandman in all of this ... he doesn't care to take an interest in this sort of endeavour .. however .. I know all too well if the boy would be outside chiseling up a hunk of wood with bandsaws, whipsaws and seesaws there would definitely be an active interest by the Husbandman .... in the meantime ... while the Jimmy is under our crumbling roof I will lend an honest ear to the time that it takes to watch a musician in the making. I think this is time well spent.
In the meantime I will continue to miss our longer well lit days, and admitedly accept the narrow length of time that the sun will bless us with.
Of course with the darkening days of the fall quickly approaching I am warmed by the thoughts of my beautiful new reading lamp that I purchased back in the summer time .. when I thought I had lots of time to read, and still didn't find the time.
Now if all my time obligated to working could actually go to a new supersonic chair for doing some reading in .. instead of things like roofs and trips to Cuba for children .. then it would be most stupendous!
Miss Pipalot is HELL bent on getting to Cuba this spring. I congratulate her efforts ... and I was wishing that I could make the trek with her .. but that comes with competition from a whole other whack of parents all clamouring for the same trip (for free... cause we would be chaperones after all) ...OR we would have to pay for it to accompany her. Without a doubt this little chickster is going to CUBA ... and I don't care how much money it costs .. this little lady is going on this trip ... cause she is worth it .. and more. I should maybe throw my hat in the ring ... TIMING could be everything.
Time .. right.
It will be out again in full force tomorrow, and then in hiding by Wednesday. Thursday it rains, and Friday is cloudy .. and by then it will be official ... fall will have arrived.

Am I kind with my time, or simply kinda stupid?
Where is the Mr. Husbandman in all of this ... he doesn't care to take an interest in this sort of endeavour .. however .. I know all too well if the boy would be outside chiseling up a hunk of wood with bandsaws, whipsaws and seesaws there would definitely be an active interest by the Husbandman .... in the meantime ... while the Jimmy is under our crumbling roof I will lend an honest ear to the time that it takes to watch a musician in the making. I think this is time well spent.
In the meantime I will continue to miss our longer well lit days, and admitedly accept the narrow length of time that the sun will bless us with.
Of course with the darkening days of the fall quickly approaching I am warmed by the thoughts of my beautiful new reading lamp that I purchased back in the summer time .. when I thought I had lots of time to read, and still didn't find the time.
Now if all my time obligated to working could actually go to a new supersonic chair for doing some reading in .. instead of things like roofs and trips to Cuba for children .. then it would be most stupendous!
Miss Pipalot is HELL bent on getting to Cuba this spring. I congratulate her efforts ... and I was wishing that I could make the trek with her .. but that comes with competition from a whole other whack of parents all clamouring for the same trip (for free... cause we would be chaperones after all) ...OR we would have to pay for it to accompany her. Without a doubt this little chickster is going to CUBA ... and I don't care how much money it costs .. this little lady is going on this trip ... cause she is worth it .. and more. I should maybe throw my hat in the ring ... TIMING could be everything.
Time .. right.

Spy at work.
I'm working at being a spy. I spied some pretty flowers, along side the of the racing flags in the cities downtown core. Love this time of year when they put the racing flags up ... just for the car show! The geese came to town, in an odd location. I spied him, and he spied me. I spied this gate edge, because it was fancy.
Yes, this spy has gone back to work.
