    Dictatorship

    It has been awhile since I wrote last.  My stupid computer decided it didn't like me and went on strike or something until used my authority as dictator and whipped it into submission...LOL!
     
    So, the PM's gonna revisit the same-sex marriage debate, eh?  Will it be a free vote, or will NDP leader Jack Layton threaten his MPs if they vote against SSM they'll get the boot?  Like he did to Brenda Whatsherface when Paul Martin was PM? It's a real hot potato...just today or yesterday, 50 postal workers walked off the job in protest some pamplet some religious organization put out in support of traditional marriage.  Sheesh...them gay activists/supporters are almost as bad as al-Qaida...they fall short of doing terrorist attacks!  Maybe I shouldn't talk so loud...

    I will survive...

    Today my hubby decided to call the Children's Aid Chick.  I guess he saw me bursting into tears a lot and it reallyreallyreally got on his nerves.  You know how men get.  They see a problem and they want to be Mr. Fix-it.  So he calls her and her hubby up and try to explain to her how it was affecting me emotionally, and never got nowhere.  I mean, he never yelled at her or was rude or anything.  Just tried to reason with her.  Anyway, the Children's Aid Chick still felt she was in the right, so the conversation ended with nothing accomplished.  Sigh.  I guess in this day and age one has to be extremely careful of how one deal with children.  Thank you, sweetie, for at least trying.  I really appreciate it.
     
    This is last I'll write about this episode.  I wrote this cuz I know there are other moms out there that has experienced the same thing.  I don't want them to feel like it's only happening to them.  It's painful, believe me.  But we all manage to get back on our feet again.

    Tribute to my Hubby

    Recently things have been stressful for me.  Y'know, the chick who called Children's Aid and all that foolishness.  One outlet for me was this blog...better than taking it all on a piece of furniture!   LOL!  (Just in case they had Furniture Aid Society, I did not want my furniture taken away from me...hehehe)  Another outlet was going insane with my poor husband.  He took it like a man.  He knew I didn't mean the things I said.  In his own gruff way, he comforted me and told me he's there for me and all that crap.  I was so stressed out that I got sick to my stomach, my period's late, and I just laid down a lot.  He, my longsuffering hubby, did the dishes, bought take-out, and held me in his arms.  For that, I really want to thank him for his patience.  That I'm really sorry for lashing out at him.  And most of all, that I love him.

    Just A Random Rant...

    Here is a link to the Canadian Troops in Afghanistan issue.  www.canada.com/globaltv/national and click on Afghanistan: are we winning? block near the upper right side of the page.  It sorta gives you an overview on the mission and is fairly neutral, I think. 
     
    I was sick to my stomach today and yesterday.  Not flu-sick but the queasiness you get after an intense stressful time, then your body goes weird on you.  My husband's mother said it was nerves.  I'm really jumpy.  Sometimes it feels like there's someone out there kinda spying or looking really hard at you waiting for you to make a mistake with your kids and they get on the phone with Children's Aid.  I'm really nervous.  Honestly I know that's not exactly the case, but there are some busybodies out there who are complete strangers who call CA to report something that isn't.  Like last summer, for instance, someone threatened Children's Aid to my children's daycare when they saw a kid have some accident or something.  The freaky thing is, it was my daughter who had the accident!  LOL!  Anyway, the director called me and explained what really happened, and she was a little upset, and I had to reassure her that everything's alright, and kids are kids and yadda yadda yadda. 
     
    I was reading the paper and found out North Korea dictator Kim Jong II was only 5'2" and that many of his soldiers are just as short.  "shorties" my hubby called them. LOL!  Of couse I heard that many N. Koreans are short due to poor nutrition especically as young children.  (Severe malnutrition stunts growth in children.)  I don't understamd why the NK gov't spend all their money on building weapons and not doing a thing about the poverty issue.  Now Japan and South Korea are stopping food aid in order to "punish" NK.  Well, nothing's gonna stop Kim Jong II untill the UN or the US oust him out like they did to Iraqi leader Sadly Insane!!!  (BTW, when is that stupid Saddam Hussein trial gonna end???)

    Explosions: Nuclear and Emotional

    North Korea's been threatening to test their nukes for awhile.  While the United Nations warned North Korea not to do it, NK went ahead on Monday.  Said they had the right to do so.  Whatever.  They're only doing it to defend their country.  Whatever.  They're not going to bomb anyone.  Whatever.  It's only a deterrent to keep other countries out of NK. Whatever.  So Monday came and went, and NK has announced the successful test.  You know what?  This sounds eerily similar to what I learned in Global History class:  the Cold War.  The only thing that prevented the Cold Waar from being an all-out nuclear war was the Balance of Terror.  Scary stuff. 
     
    So I finally solved the mystery surrounding the Children's Aid incident.  (My husband claimed that he knew all the way along.)  I was talking to this chick I grew up with (I've known her since I was five).  She admitted that her husband my have called Children's Aid, but didn't want to talk about it due to confidentiality reasons.  She then went on that I have all this negative energy and it was dragging her down emotionally.  I was extremely hurt.  I didn't tell her that, and I don't want her to know how hurt I actually am.  I mean, I thought her as a close and trusted friend, and now it feels like she's fucking betrayed me.  I tried to restore our friendship, but she won't do it until I get help and stop being so negative.  I guess she wants me to focus on the positive side of things, and look at what good blessings that came out of this.  I wonder how she and her hubby would feel if I called Children's Aid on HER if she had kids!  My hubby wants an apology from her.  He told me he feels like he's been stabbed in the back.  Well, I'm not going to demand anything from this chick.  A true apology comes from the heart, and is volunteered.  All I can do now is to try to learn from this experience.  Hubby finally gave me permission to see a shrink.  I guess he gave in cuz he seen me crying for a whole hour.  OMG, that reallyreallyreally hurt bad.  I just want to put this whole fucking situation behind me now I know who did this, and the permission to get counselling really helps.

    Weird Thanksgiving

    We had a weird Thanksgiving.  First of all,  we were expecting 4 guests, and at the last minutes, three of them seemed like they were cancelling out.  Okay, no problem.  I put supper on the table, and we (my hubby, the kids, and our remaining guest) all stated what we were thankful for.  Then we said grace and dug into the turkey.  Well...our three other guests all showed up on our doorstep when we were half-way thru our meal!  LMAO!!!  How embarrassing!!! Thankfully we had enough food for all, and then we had three kinds of pie.  It all worked out well in the end. 
     
    Earlier today on YouTube, I got some reallyreallyreally nasty comments on my videos.  One asshole wrote that they noticed that I had Down Syndrome!  I was deeply hurt, but pretended it didn't bother me online.  Plus numerous comments on how ugly I was.  (That's one reason why I don't publish my face as my profile.) People has always thought I was ugly, but I believe beauty is only skin-deep.  An ex-boyfriend once said the uglier (women) are, the more they love you.  I agree.  Maybe beauty makes you have a bad personality, and being ugly makes you have a humble personality.  You know, more nicer and loving and stuff.  Just a random thought...
     
    On a more happier side of things, I just got this wonderful idea.  I'll start making cooking shows for YouTube.  I heard that people really like that stuff.  Maybe I'll make some fudge...mmmmmmmmmmmm!

    Children's Aid and Life

    First of all, I'm not doing well on my diet.  I love my sweets too much...LOL!  Recently I read in the newspaper that if a woman is only 7 pounds overweight when she gets pregnant, she's at a higher risk of health problems such as heart disease and diabetes.  Looks like I'll have to lock my fridge. 
     
    I'm getting a few hits on my videos on YouTube, but none is as popular as my Bubble Butt Video Response.  I've got close to 900 views (as opposed to just under 200 and less on the other five videos)  I've got a few good and bad comments, and even some light debates.  I like that.  I have several vids on the go. 
     
    Remember the Children's Aid rant?  That experience still messes me up.  This morning my daughter decided to throw this HUGE temper tantrum.  I didn't spank her, just let her ride out her feelings.  She calmed down eventually.  I was worried about the noise she was making, and got scared, and video-taped her just to prove that I didn't spank her or hit her.  (Later I came to my senses and erased everything.)  But really, it's like I'm walking on eggshells even though the social worker lady found nothing wrong with our family.  Not so long ago, I had a dream that two social workers came to my apartment and took our children away.  I remember crying in the dream.  I love my children.  Right now I can't imaging life without them.  As a foster kid, I grew up not knowing my real family.  I certainly don't want that for my children.  Anyway, whoever called Children's Aid should just back off and mind their goddamn business. 
     
    Hubby got his hunting license.  For eighteen bucks he can get us a winter's supply of partridges.  Mazel Tov, my dear!

    Sunday Shopping and Other Stuff

    Sunday shopping has now conquered Nova Scotia as the NS Supreme Court ruled that it was okay.  Now we can expect to fight thru heavy traffic in order to get to church.
     
    Prime Minister Stephen Harper is determined to keep our troops in Afghanistan till "09.  So far 39 troops died since 2002.  When will he realize that radical Islamic terrorists are going to keep blowing themselves up so that they can have their 72 virgins in Heaven? 
     
    I'm starting to get a barrage of criticism on some of my videos on YouTube.  One person even said I should just get AIDS.  OVER A STUPID FART FETISH PARODY!!!  LMAO!!!  Reminds me of a Muslim overreacting to Pope Benedict's recent statement on Islam.
     
    And finally, I'm trying to finish learning the Hebrew Aleph-Bet (alphabet).  It's a constant challange even to remember to practice the lettering printing from right to left; not our left-to-right method.  Wish me luck!!!

    No church, YouTube, and Pancakes

    Today I'm not gonna rant.  I figure this blog needs more variety than whining and complaining about everything under the sun...LOL!!! What am I doing today...hmmm...not much.  I sorta stayed home from church cuz I didn't feel like it, I guess.  Next Sunday I'll prabably go. 
     
    I've been watching You Tube an awful lot lately. Started uploading some of my crazy videos and thoroughly enjoying myself...lol!  Gettin' in touch with my creative side!  Some people even told me I have a talent for this kind of stuff...I guess time will tell.  They say if you reallyreallyreally like whatever you're learning and doing, then you're going to be good at it or something like that.  Anyway, time will tell...
     
    And so I must get back to Housework Boot Camp before Sgt. Husband gets back home with our two cute lil' pain-in-the-butts.  They'll be looking for my apple cinnamon pancakes...mmmmmmmmmmmm......
