I'm siiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiick!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I so don't feel good, my head feels like it's full of noice. Soon it's christmas and I still haven't finished my shopping and with my cold I don't know when it will get done. I just needed to write a few words to feel better.

Early bird gets the worm!

Bright and early morning for me. Got up at 5:30am to bring Zach to a hockey practice. It was a good one too, they learned to use the boards more and the offside. I swear I am writing my blog and I feel like I'm falling asleep.

Zach had a great game last night. He had 1 goal, 1 goal that they called too close to count, great chances at the net, he defended the puck very well and he skated like a mad man. The skating and him putting the effort was the best, all the rest was just GRAVY!!!!! Keep it up buddy!

Today the family is going to attend the Sens Vs. Sabres. I'm sure we will have fun but Kovalev will not play due to the death of his mother-in-law. Condolences to the family and we will see him next time.

Farmville ..........

Well, what can I say, I am ADDICTED to this game on facebook. I really like this simple little game. The concept is very easy, you plant and help your neighbours and you collect the fruits of your labours. These are the ways you make money to buy different seeds and animals. Also, you can send your friends gifts and they usually return the favour,


IT"S FUNNNNNNNNNN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I should be more consistent...

What is wrong with me that I can't be more consistent with my Blog. This should be a way for me to express myself. God knows I need the outlet. I am taking a new stand with myself.

Well, I will see you tomorrow my dear blog.

Back to school

I think the title says it all. The kids have gone back to school and I am pooped. Zach is in grade 3 and Joseph started a pre-school program 5 mornings a week. I have started with the volunteering and I am already so tired. I had one morning to myself this week and I got myself pampered.

The hockey has also stared and Zach is doing better then expected according to Jimmy. I don't know why this man doesn't want to see that zach could make the A team. I guess he doesn't want to get disappointed. As long as Zach is having fun I really don't care what he makes. I just don't want him to be on the same team as Touzin, his mother really was not very nice with Stacey and me by the end of the year. I cheered for the hole team all the boys got encouraged by us.

What can I say but to be ...

Sun is out!

It's been two days in a row that the sun is out. We have had such bad weather that it is really starting to depress me. All that you can do is eat all day and that is what I've been doing. I am taking the time today to start to do some exercise and to eat better and more balanced. I need to start moving.

The kids are getting bored in the house all the time and I can't blame them. It's hard because everyone is at camp because the parents work and the one's that don't work are to bored to move. This has been a crappy summer so far, let's see what the rest will be like.

Where is our summer?

What a crappy summer we are having! Jimmy had a week off and other that soccer we where not able to do anything. It's always raining or cold. I am really sick and tired of this weather. We are really screwing up the planet earth with all the crap we do to it. Seeing how bad this summer is really makes me wounder how long the planet can continue this way. I am really going to make an effort to be more green. Even if I do a little bite it's better then nothing.

So much has happened since last week. First of all in hockey, the canadiens got Gomez, Gionta, Gill, Cammallri and lost Komisarek. I think that other players have come also but I can't think of them right now. I think that Komisarek going to Toronto is really bad for him. The media is already on his case about not being good enough. I am sad to see him go. Also, Kovalev has not signed yet and I really want him too. He is the crowed favorite and I really like him.

Let's see what tomorrow brings...

Sad day.

Yesterday was a very sad day for the entertainment community and it's fans. First we lost Farah Fawset at the age of 62. She fought a colon cancer for 3 years and lost her battle. It's very sad, I remember her in Charlie's Angels but not that much but I do remember the red bathing suit poster very well.

We also lost Micheal Jackson at the age of 50. This was such a shock! I could not and did not want to believe it. Just on Monday I was at the grade 6 graduation and the Dj put a Micheal song and the kids went crazy, image they have not heard a new song from him in their lifetime and they went crazy for the stuff I grew up with. Now he is gone... I feel so bad for his family.

Micheal was maybe strange but he was a music genius. I just want to remember him by his music and not by all the craziness that followed him. I hope other people will remember him that way also. Let's not forget that his music will live on forever and his great music videos will always have a special place in music videos history.

RIP Farah and Micheal...

A little scare.

This week on Tuesday we had a little scare. We had a child at the school come in with a mask and she was being tested for the A H1N1 virus. Jimmy and I decided to give Zach a day off, we went swimming at Antonia's house. I got some nice color and the kids played and did not drive me nuts.

I don't know what it is, they have a basement full of toys a huge TV to watch and they are always busting for something else. They are never and I mean never happy, especially Zach. It seams he will spend his life very unhappy and there is nothing I can do about it. If we are not buying him something he is not happy. When we do buy him something he is only happy for a short time.

When we were children we very seldom bothered our parents, we were always playing or entertaining ourselves. Now a days if the children are not entertained by us they are bored and we get the crap from that. Things need to change, but how. I really want hings to change they need to get along and they need to learn to play without electronic devises.

We will see what will come of this.

Better late then never.

Well, my children are so happy. Zach was able to see his young team win the Stanley Cup. I watched the game with both kids. Joseph was not able to stay up at 10:30pm he was out and Zach stayed up and saw all the celebrations. I must admit that I was very emotional. It is something special to see Zach real first memory of his team winning the Stanley Cup. Now he really gets the meaning of what the Stanley Cup is and how important it is to win one.

The next morning Zach was up early because he had to go to hockey with Shawn Anderson and Joseph watched the highlights with me. Joseph taught that it was live and he was so excited about the results. The best was when Joseph saw Malkin with the Conn Smyth Trophy, he was screaming that Malkin is the best.

Let me just say that the last 5 minutes of the game were the best I have ever experienced. I thought both sides played great hockey and really put a great show but the better team won. Marc-André Feury what a great game for him the best of his career and that is how he had to play to beat Detroit in Detroit.

I would love to bring the kids to Pittsburg to see the parade we will see maybe I will be able to convince Jimmy to take us depending on when it is or maybe I should talk to Taki.

I can't wait...

Seriously, I can't wait until Zach finishes school. I'm really fed up with fighting in the morning with him for everything. My socks are too big, I don't like these pants, I have a pain, My hair hurts and the list goes on and on. Do other children behave this way? Do they all give parents a hard time to get up? At first I thought maybe he is not getting enough sleep so I was putting him to bed at 7:30 pm until 7:00 am, still the same thing. Then I tried putting him to bed at 9:00 pm super tired and still the same thing. Finally, I tried getting him up early so he has time to get in a better mood and still no victory for me. So I quit...

Joseph gets up and gets dressed in 2 minutes. no matter how much he has slept and no matter what there is to do. It's crazy how very different they are. I could not have them a little the same so it's not so extreme.

Up!

Just came back from the movies with the family. We went to see Up the new Disney flick, it was so nice and sad at times. My kids were looking at me the hole time to see if I would cry and I did. Joseph fell asleep but he said he really liked the movie and Zach said it was good.

Right now I'm watching the hockey game Pens. vs Red Wings, I'll let you guess which team we are hoping to win.

Change

So I changed my background and I hope this will bring the sunny weather. Let's see!

What's going on?

What's going on outside? It's cold and rainy, it's the end of may and it's awful outside. There is a saying April showers bring May flowers, that is not really happening. The kids can't play outside, I can't really find the time to plant my flowers and it's not really nice weather for soccer.

Zach had a great soccer game on Tuesday, the team won 8-0 and Zach had a goal and 2 assists. Joseph had 2 last week and he scored 6 times and a few assists.

So, what is going on out there? Let's see if the weather will get better and if we will get a nice summer.

Well, well, well...

Zach is so happy for his penguins they are going forward on the quest for the Stanley Cup and you know what I think this year they will do it. Last year Malkin was not really there and this year he is on FIREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!

Good luck Penguins and bring on the cup.

Boooooooooooooooruins!!!!!!

The Bruins can start golfing today, they are in ruins rhymes with Bruins Ha! ha! ha!. I would like to thank the Hurricanes for all their hard work and for making it a great series. I am really excited about the series this year, it's great!

Well, well, well...

What is happening to the Big Bad Bruins. Alot of the fans were saying it's going to be a walk in the park, that is not how it's going. Jimmy said before the series began that Ward will outshine Thomas and that Carolina can surprise and he was right. However, it is not over yet and it's the playoffs and alot can happen. So let's go Carolina beat those Bruins...

Today was a horrible day for me. Zach was fighting with Joseph all day. He's very good at ignoring me and Jimmy but when it comes to his brother Oh! no, that is not possible. Joseph was a devil, I was ready to kill him. All I did all day is run after him and clean behind him, he cried all freaking day. On top of it all, my car broke down at Walmart. I hope it's nothing major, thinking that it's the battery.

Let's see what tomorrow brings.

A page

So, I thought that I should star showing some of my pages. Here is the first one,

This is Joseph on his first day of preschool. He liked it but the next time did not want to go on the bus.

Gone.

Everything is gone and done with. The rabbit is gone to a nice family. Last year I was very sad at the thought of giving it away and this time around I was so happy. I really think I did a good thing.

The Habs are out of the playoffs. I was so angry at the reaction of the fans and of the french media, they all blame Carey Price and we know he is not the only person on the team that had issues this year. But let's move on!

The patio and the gazebo are done. Cleaned and placed, now I only have the gardening to do and the outside is done.

Now, I would feel good if I could get a good night sleep...

So, so sad.

I am so sad that the Habs did not win last night. They started strong and again the penalties killed us and the goal tending. I hate the Bruins and I really don't think Thomas is good, I think he has a horse shoe up his a**. Well, let's see if we could win one.

Tomorrow is earth day and I would like to do something special for it.

I found someone to give the rabbit to and now the kids need to say goodbye. Zach is already giving me grief and Joseph is telling people he is getting a dog. I don't think that Jimmy will go for it. But, I think Joseph is still to small to be around a dog, he is still to rough... The saga continues...

Bad Blogger

Well, the title says it all. What a bad blogger I have been! Well it has been a busy month with both Easters one week apart, this has kept me very busy. I have been so lazy this past month and I need to get out of it. The only thing that has been going great for me is my scrapbooking. I have been on a roll, I'm so inspired to create it's great.

Now The Habs are playing the Bruins we have a loss but they came out with a plan and they played well. Let's see next game, Habs all the way.

Spring has sprung!

What a great day today, temperature wise. Today was my first full day of Pizza Day, what a disaster, I really did not like the way it ran. There is no organization, the monitors do not help the volunteers and the children are horrible. I am spent... mentally! It would be nice if we all worked together but that is not an easy task in this school. But we will try our best.

Joseph is taking a small nap and I am cleaning or at least trying to. I am so not motivated to cook and clean it's not even funny. I really need to create some kind of system so it doesn't take all day and everything out of me.

Well, lets see what the next day will bring...

Boston Vs. Chicago

This past weekend Jimmy, Zach and I went to Boston to catch a hockey game. What a game it was. All I can say is that Thomas has a horse shoe up his ass. I can't wait to see how he will be next year. Here are some pictures that I took.

Here is my big boy on his 8th birthday. Jimmy finally sang happy birthday to him, it's the first time I hear him sing. We've been together so long and it took this long....

I'll get more pictures of what he got with his birthday money real soon...

Well, well, well ...

What a crazy week it has been. First of all it was Zach's 8th Birthday on the 16th, Happy Birthday my big boy. Now he got some money and he is going nut for a Winter Classic Pittsburgh Penguins Malkin shirt.... Where will I be able to get that, I've looked everywhere. Oh! and he wants it stitched on the numbers and name... ARG!!!!!

Again, crazy week for the Habs... What can we do nothing...

I'll report again soon.

Warm wishes...

...

Olympic Dream!

Well, the countdown is on. In exactly one year we will be opening the 21st Winter Olympiad in Vancouver. I am so excited that I started to cry. I hope I get picked to carry the torch that would be such a great honour for me. Everybody knows what a proud Canadian I am. I remember when the Olympic torch for the Calgary Olympics passed here in Laval on cartier. I ran with that torch and I felt so proud to just even see it, I think I cried the hole time I was running beside it. I just think of it and I start to tear up.

I would really like to go to the Olympics. I don't care which sport because I like them all. I just want to go and support the people that work so hard to represent our country. I don't know why I feel so strong about this.

One time I went on a scrapbook weekend with a bunch of girls ( all french Canadians ) and there was a Habs game on and they start with the national anthem and of course I start singing and crying. Well the girls did not know how to react to this, they asked me why are you so emotional it's just the anthem. I told them that they take for granted the beautiful country we live in and that instead of trying to separate it we should all work together and build it even stronger so it's even better. Well, when I was done they were all crying and once home telling everyone about my little story...

The day after

Last night was all abut me. I went to Josée's house for my Stampin' up Club de carte and I had a blast as I always do. I really need to do these things for myself, they make me feel so much better about myself. Nathalie told all the girls that she will be joining Caroline's group, so we are down a lady, but that OK. I told her to call me so we could go scrapbooking together at Scrapbook Quebec we will see if she does.

After that I went out with the girls and we had a good time. I laughed so much and that also felt so great. It feels as if I hadn't laughed in years.

Thursday I went for my blood test to see what could be wrong with me. I hope I get some answers soon. There is something wrong and I can't put my finger on it but I will continue my search until I find the answer.

All I know is that today started out good and I hope it will finish the same way. No EXPLOSIONS on my part...

Go Steelers

I am so happy, the Super Bowl was great. It's the best game I have seen in years. I though there for a minute that they were in trouble but they pulled it all out.

What a great game!!!

And now to not so great news from the Habs. I went to the game yesterday. First surprise the jerseys they wore. Zach said they looked like they just got out of jail. The played the first 19 minutes were great, they were hitting and skating and then the Habs scored, the fans were going nuts. The celebrations were cut short, with 00.6 seconds left in the first period the Boston Bruins scored and it all started to shut down for he Habs. In the third period Lang got injured, he is gone for the rest of the season. Kovalev played less then 2 minutes. Latendress got an upper body injury, I think it's the shoulder but nothing was confirmed yet! Now Bob has to move or he trades or he gives them an ass kicking...

I feel a little bit better. My back still hurts but my spirits are better. I was very calm with the kids but firm. Let's see what tomorrow brings. Zach was home sick and he is already thinking that he will be sick tomorrow.

So much pain...

I'm in sooooo much pain. My back is killing me. I can't sleep, can't walk, can't sit, basically everything hurts. Thank God Jimmy is back home from his trip, this will help. The doctor gave me pills and said not to strain myself and if by Monday I am not well I will need physio. That's so lovely.

Well, I still feel pretty crappy. I've been watching Oprah and her shows are really opening my eyes to my health. I will be going for a blood test on Monday to see what is going on. Once I do that and I see all is well or not my life will change. I will not diet, I will be changing the way I live. Yes, I will keep an eye on my weight but getting in shape and relaxing is number 1.

Fat !!!

So, I think the title says it all. I just saw a picture of myself sitting down on a chair and not really posing for a shoot and I really did not like what I saw. I was very disturbed by what I saw. I really look horrible, what have I done to myself. Right after I saw that I went to see what the scale says. OMG I am a very fat person, I should be on the biggest looser. I need to lose at least 50 lbs. I really need to do this for myself. So, here I go and this log will help me stay on track. Every tuesday I will weigh myself and report my progress.

I am at a point that my kids tell me I'm fat. Zach tells me I need to cut down on the junk food and Joseph says I have a baby in my tummy. Step 1 drink lots of water, step 2 no more food after 7pm , step 3 EXSERCISE!!!!

Wish me luck, I think I might need it.

Hockey Mania!

My house is in full hockey mania. My kids are playing NHL 2K9 on the Wii, they are waiting for the all stars skills competiton to begin and all they can talk about is hockey... This morning Zach had a practice and I went on the ice with him. I took a dive in my new skates, I'm still not a 100% on hockey skates, no problems with the figure skates but the hockey ones I'm still not great.

I wish I had tickets to go to this event. It's about $300.00 a ticket and I would need 3, because Jimmy is in Chicago for a show, plus souvenirs and food... Ah! if I win the $43 million tonight I'm there tomorrow for the all-star game, for tonight we will be watching on tv. I am sure that RDS will have great coverage of the show.

The habs this year have 4 representatives at the event and there are so many former habs also:




Price and Komisarek, Markov and Kovalev



I am a Price fan. I think the way he is cool ( sometimes too cool ) and calm is really great, he makes me nervous and I like that. Jimmy likes Komisarek. I like him too, I think that he is the next C of the canadians. The media likes him, the fan like him and the idea of him as the next C and I think the players respect him. I think he showed alot of team spirit and leadership when he was hurt. How many players go behind the bench when they are hurt? Not many.

Markov is such a great offensive defencemen, he can put it in and stop the other side from putting it in. Kovalev is just magic to watch, the things he can do are sick. He might not be scoring like last year but he creates chances for others and that is a great role model for all the young players we have. He is the C of the eastern division. What more can I say...

Overdose!!!!!!!

Joseph my youngest is really into High School Musical ( HSM ). He dresses like Troy the main guy, he plays basketball like Troy, sings like Troy, he wants to be Troy... I am on HSM OVERDOSE!!!!

Ok, he is good looking but there is so much of this even I can take. I have lost th luxury of sitting and watching TV in the playroom. If Joseph is not watchin HSM 1 or 2, he is listening to the soundtrack of HSM 3. He even asked us to bring him to HSM on ice and I did. It's good because it keeps him quite and entertained, I get to go to the bathroom in peace. Now I am just not feeling it. Maybe when the third comes out on DVD I will feel better. By the way he even has stickers on his bedroom walls, the Wii game...

Well this is his teenage experience at the tender age of 3 1/2. It is really funny to see I should tape him and put it on the web. Here are some pictures of him:

The picture on the left is at the HSM on Ice December 30th at the Bell Center...

The one on the bottom is take on December 1st 2008 at Hollywood studios in Orlando. HSM does a outdoor show of about 15 mins. I had to claw all the young girls so they would not crush poor little Joseph. Zach was so not enjoying this part of the trip.

What a moment.

Wow! What a great historical moment. To be a witness to such change is a great feeling. Obama has alot on his plate and expectations are high, but people need to work together and be patient change does not come that fast and easy.

I think this change should inspire us as Canadiens to maybe change the way our government works and who we chose to lead us. We need a leader who will commande respect around the world, who will commande respect from the people in his own country but that is a topic for another day. Today is the day everyone will be talking about in history books and years from now our grand children will be asking us: What were you doing when Obama became president?

What's wrong with me?

The title says it all. What is wrong with me? Why I can't keep up with my blog? Why I feel so blah? Why I want to scrapbook but I have no inspiration to do it? Why I don't want to cook? Why I don't want to clean? What is wrong with me?

I am getting bored of the everyday same old routine. I need a break, I need to be doing things that I want to do not because I want to do it. I need to find time for myelf to take care of myself. I run for my kids, I run for my husband and for myself nothing. I feel as if I come last to myself, no I do come last. My kids come first, then my husband then my house then me. My house should not come before me, that is not normal.

I really need to be using this blog to express myself because I can't really talk to anybody because they all say that I have nothing to complain about. I need to be more organized with my life learn to say no.


I just need to take care of MYSELF!!!!
