Contests

2011-03-20T15:54:00.002-05:00

I don't have a huge blog following as I don't do this much, but I know that sometimes people take a peek and so I thought I would try this attempt for help to win a new Kitchen.

My husband has been entering contests for a couple of years now and I has done pretty well. I usually don't get much benifit of his winnings but now he is a contest that I could. A new kitchen. I could use all the help from all bloggers out there who could spend 5 minutes to register and then vote, favorite and comment on the 16 photos he has. By looking at the photos you can see why we would need the new kitchen.

If you do register please ensure that you disable your email notifications or you will be getting all the emails from others who have commentd on any of the photos.

The link is http://myfantasykitchen.com/profile/JeffreyGlucksman

the contest goes until April but we could use all the help we can get. thanks

Just a ramble

2009-03-26T18:05:00.001-05:00

I am running a girls group at school and it is going well. As previous posts, one girl has connected with me and spoken about her personal issues in relationships, I thought back to me when I was that age and wondering if we were all that dramatic when it came to us and talking about boys. I remember I was. I was crazy for one guy and thought that the sun shone out of his ass...boy was I crazy back then...still am:) I told her that it doesn't get any easier with relationships because as you get older it can become more intense, like my previouse relationship, finally a few years after pain and rejection and going through it again over facebook. I realized that I was just a person who was a rebound and someone that was used to get way and start new, I was cheated on and in the end treated really badly especially in the situation that occured near the end. She thought that once you get married, relationships would be easier, I laughed and said it is actually harder, especially when kids are in the picture. Speaking with her, and looking back I would have done a lot of things different in relationships in love and friendship as well as developing a bit more of a back bone. It's werid how all of a sudden one conversation brings back floods of memories and regrets.

Feeling of rejection

2009-02-10T16:15:00.003-05:00

As per previous post, I met with this young girl again as I am now counseling her once a week. We spoke about the feeling of rejection. She spoke about how she liked the new boy in the school and he didn't like her. After she left I started thinking to my high school days and the guys that I liked and those who didn't reciprocate the feelings. I then thought about the relationships that hurt me the most and ones that still are tender today. Even though I am married to a great man, sometimes the hurt just does not go away. Thanks to facebook some of those hurts were able to be fixed as I have been in touch with some of those people and they apologised...even after all these years they knew they were jerks. But, facebook has not been all the positive, I was in touch with this one person, who was in touch with me for a couple of years and then all of a sudden there was no contact, no explanation why, even told others not to keep in touch with me. I never did anything, never said anything yet, I was treated like crap. What bothers me the most is that there was no explanation and the more I wanted one the more upset I got. I know its silly but when someone cuts you off without a reason, one day they are asking for advice about something, telling you about the birth of their first born, thanking you for changing their lives and then the next day they cut you off, it just does not make sense to me and that hurts more than the hurt that the person cause some years before. I know why it bothers me and that is because I don't know why. Its like they did it on purpose, its like I got rejected all over again.

A big mish mash.. may not make sense

2009-02-04T21:08:00.001-05:00

Wow, it has been a while since I wrote on here, I don't really write much as I don't think many people read it, then again maybe I should write stuff to just get it out. Many times I look at friends blogs and wish I could be like them writing in them all the time and reaching out to the bloggers of the world. Then I think, I don't know how. Anyways, lately I have been thinking a lot about the past, this is due to young girl I work with who is going through the adolecent years and she has gone through a lot in the past few months, her best friend left the school and her boyfriend dumped her. Wow, I remember those teenage love days. They were the worst, you thought your life would be over and could never move on...and sure enough you did. I have been thinking a lot about a couple of past relationships and it makes me think of all kinds of different relationships I had in the past with friends and romantic ones.

There is one relationship that I still can't get over, there was never any closure, there is a lot of anger and resentment on my side and a lot of unanswered questions and when I asked some of these questions all of a sudden contact stopped. When there is a lot of hurt there its hard to let go I guess.

I think of friendships that ended but somehow always seemed to repair themselves, either through one of us letting go of out stubbornuss, through mutual friends and even through facebook.

Everyone you meet has a reason that there their, Good and for the bad. I told this to this young girl who listened to me as I blabbed all the stuff your suppossed to say and some of my own stories at the end she said she felt better and was happy knowing it happens to everyone. As she walked away, I thought to myself wait till your older and your relationships get more instense and those end....

The moment of Turth

2008-04-03T09:10:00.002-05:00

Have you seen this show?
I watched it last night and can't believe that this show is number one. I can see how people want to watch it because it can ruin people's lives.

Prior to the show, a contestant is hooked up to a polygraph and asked more than 50 questions; there is no polygraph testing conducted during the actual show. Without knowing the results of the polygraph, he or she is asked 21 of those same questions again on the program, each becoming progressively more personal in nature. If the contestant answers honestly as confirmed by the polygraph, he or she moves on to the next question; however, should a contestant lie in his or her answer (as determined by the polygraph) or simply refuse to answer a question after it has been asked, the game ends and the contestant loses all of the prize money accumulated. For each tier of questions answered correctly, the contestant wins the corresponding amount of money. A contestant may stop at any time before any question is asked and collect the money he or she has won. Although a person may stop after any question, once they hear the question, they must answer it. Honestly answering all 21 questions wins the jackpot of $500,000.

The questions vary, increasing in difficulty and degree of personal nature of the questions. To date, not one contestant has reached the 6th tier. Sometimes, a "surprise guest" - such as an ex-partner or a good friend - will come on the stage and ask a particularly difficult question. Friends, colleagues, and family of the contestant who are gathered near the player have access to a button which can be used to switch out a question once per game, an option which is introduced to them after the third question.

Yesterday while I watched I could not believe some of these answers but also thought about them and thought how I would answer them. This woman was asked several questions some of which were:

On your wedding day were you still in love with an ex boyfriend. Would you move back home to look after your sick father? Have you had sexual feeings for your husbands friends? They had her ex come up and ask if she regreted breaking up wit him? then she was asked if her husband was a better lover than her ex...I know that money means a lot to people but...would you subject yourself to doing it on national television?

While thinking about this show I was thinking about how I would answer some of these questions and I think some would be hard because there is a fine line...I still think of a couple of my exes and still love them very much, in a much different way now then I did back then. I don't think that you can ever forget about someone who you were intimate with on many levels. The relationships in the past build you for the relationship you have in the present. I think that this program asks these questions and it is difficult to answer them because if asked if I love my ex boyfriend I would say yes because a part of me always will but not as intimatly as I did then. If I answered no then it would come out a lie. I think that the people who go on this show need to be strong and trust in their relationship and be able to sit down after and debrief about it with the help of someone else because these questions are ones that could and have broken relationships.

The American public love watching people fail and learning about their intimate secrets we see this in the media and how the paparazzi hound celebrities. We want to know more and more about people and unfortunatley with technology there are many more ways to find out.

SO my question for you is would you want to go on this show for money?

work

2008-03-27T09:10:00.002-05:00

This past month has been a roller coaster. My emotions have been in upheval. I had to get ready to go back to work, got my nanny, left my kids for the first time and have to deal with a classroom of unruly kids in a classroom with no boundaries. I hated the teacher I worked with last few years but starting work and being here for 2 weeks I have an appreciation for the way he had control of the class. He lacked the respect of the kids but the kids were quiet and did their work. Here the kids do there work but they are passing their time. I thought I had paitence, but for this group its really hard. They are annoying and try to outdo one another and spend their time taking about girls and gangs. They don't want to learn and want to disrupt everyone else around them. I can't come into the class with 3 months left and try and change it because they will rebel worse then they are now. I like the teacher we have in the class but he has let the students run the class for too long and now its hard to gain control. I have never wanted June to come so fast as I do now.

a month later

2008-02-06T23:11:00.000-05:00

Well the last time I wrote was a month ago, A lot has occured in that time, I have decided to go back to school and have sent in my application. I have gotten most of the samples done for my "business" and have the nannys room almost done.

My kids have come a long way in the past month too. Nathanial has started to talk a lot more and has indicated that he would like to go on the potty. So, we are soon going to try toilet training. Nathanial doesn't like to be dirty and his new thing is saying mama poo poo when he has gone to the washroom. He has also masterd eating with a fork and spoon, we just have to master no throwing.

Samantha has started to roll over and has started to play in her exersaucer which she enjoys. She has gone to two mommy movies we have seen 27 dresses and Mad Money and hoping to see Juno tomorrow.

My kids

2008-01-07T23:59:00.000-05:00

These two little ones are my pride and joy. They are really happy children and love being with one another.

I love being a mommy and can't wait for more...but will wait a little bit and enjoy these two.

The Trouble with Britney

2008-01-07T23:51:00.001-05:00

With all the hoopla around Britney I thought I would write a little something.

First, I believe that Britney has a love hate relationship with the media, she loves them being around and she loves being in the limelight, she has worked them to her advantage and due to that she is one of the most photographed women in the world. She has played the media into the palm of her hand. Do I think its selfish, yes, I think she doesn't give a care in the world about anyone but herself. You see this with how she is acting regarding the custody battle with K-fed...who would have thought he would be the better parent. Britney needs to shape up and she needs professional help and she needs to be a mother to her children. Those kids are the ones that are suffering the most. They are in a tug of war and being brought up by nannies and body gaurds. My heart goes out to them.

I believe that if we stopped caring about what Britney is doing, who she is doing, is she or is she not wearing underware then maybe the buzz surrounding her may go down and then she may be able to get on with her life in private.

New Year

2008-01-02T13:00:00.000-05:00

The start to the new year was one where both my children were up and cuddling with us. It was great. We spent New Years on lake Masoka with friends who have a cottage..and what a cottage.

I have a few New Years resolutions..many of which I never keep but would like to try.
1. I would like to lose some weight, I have lost most of my baby weight, but 2 pregnancies in less then 2 years I have some flab to go.
2. Learn how to enhance my blog, I see my friends CK and Christine with many cool outlets and would love to try and learn more to make it fun. As well as getting new blog friends.
3. To go back to school in September.. there is a program at Ryerson that is just a little over a year to complete it will give me a degree that will enhance my pay scale at the board by a lot.
4. To keep spending lots of time with my kids
5. Not to get pregnant this year, I know this sounds funny but, We want 2 more and at the moment I would like to take a break and enjoy and try again next year.
6. To do some work to the house. I would like to put up pictures, clear out clutter.
7. To start my buisness by then end of Jan

I guess thats good for now. we will see what realy gets done.

Ben stein commentary

2007-12-25T13:27:00.000-05:00

I know only a couple of people read my blog, but I got this from someone and thought it was very intresting and true. If you would like to use it please feel free.

The following was written by Ben Stein and read by him on CBS Sunday Morning Commentary.

My confession:

I am a Jew, and every single one of my ancestors was Jewish. And it does not bother me even a little bit when people call those beautiful lit up, bejeweled trees Christmas trees. I don't feel threatened. I don't feel discriminated against. That's what they are: Christmas trees. It doesn't bother me a bit when people say, "Merry Christmas" to me. I don't think they are slighting me or getting ready to put me in a ghetto. In fact, I kind of like it. It shows that we are all brothers and sisters celebrating this happy time of year. It doesn't bother me at all that there is a manger scene on display at a key intersection near my beach house in Malibu . If people want a cr è che, it's just as fine with me as is the Menorah a few hundred yards away .

I don't like getting pushed around for being a Jew, and I don't think Christians like getting pushed around for being Christians. I think people who believe in God are sick and tired of getting pushed around, period. I have no idea where the concept came from that America is an explicitly atheist country. I can't find it in the Constitution and I don't like it being shoved down my throat. Or maybe I can put it another way: where did the idea come from that we should worship Nick and Jessica and we aren't allowed to worship God as we understand Him? I guess that's a sign that I'm getting old, too. But there are a lot of us who are wondering where Nick and Jessica came from and where the America we knew went to. In light of the many jokes we send to one another for a laugh, this is a little different: This is not intended to be a joke; it's not funny, it's intended to get you thinking.

Billy Graham 's daughter was interviewed on the Early Show and Jane Clayson asked her "How could God let something like this happen?" (regarding Katrina ) Anne Graham gave an extremely profound and insightful response. She said, "I believe God is deeply saddened by this, just as we are, but for years we've been telling God to get out of our schools, to get out of our government and to get out of our lives. And being the gentleman He is, I believe He has calmly backed out. How can we expect God to give us His blessing and His protection if we demand He leave us alone?"

In light of recent events...terrorists attack, school shootings, etc. I think it started when Madeleine Murray O'Hare (she was murdered, her body found recently) complained she didn't want prayer in our schools, and we said OK. Then someone said you better not read the Bible in school. The Bible says thou shalt not kill, thou shalt not steal, and love your neighbor as yourself. And we said OK. Then Dr. Benjamin Spock said we shouldn't spank our children when they misbehave because their little personalities would be warped and we might damage their self-esteem ( Dr. Spock 's son committed suicide). We said an expert should know what he's talking about. And we said OK.

Now we're asking ourselves why our children have no conscience, why they don't know right from wrong, and why it doesn't bother them to kill strangers, their classmates, and themselves. Probably, if we think about it long and hard enough, we can figure it out. I think it has a great deal to do with "WE REAP WHAT WE SOW."

Funny how simple it is for people to trash God and then wonder why the world's going to hell. Funny how we believe what the newspapers say, but question what the Bible says . Funny how you can send 'jokes' through e- mail and they spread like wildfire but when you start sending messages regarding the Lord, people think twice about sharing. Funny how lewd, crude, vulgar and obscene articles pass freely through cyberspace, but public discussion of God is suppressed in the school and workplace. Are you laughing?

Funny how when you forward this message, you will not send it to many on your address list because you're not sure what they believe, or what they will think of you for sending it. Funny how we can be more worried about what other people think of us than what God thinks of us.

Pass it on if you think it has merit. If not then just discard it... no one will know you did. But, if you discard this thought process, don't sit back and complain about what bad shape the world is in. My Best Regards .
Honestly and respectfully,

Ben Stein

Been a long time

2007-12-12T11:17:00.000-05:00

Its been awhile since I wrote.
Since Samantha came into our lives we have been extremly busy trying to get a routine going. She slept through the night for the first little while and then for the past couple of weeks she was up all night and I was averaging 3 hours a night. The last couple of days she has slept through the night. Her room is now done and she will be moving to her room on Sunday. Yesterday she rolled over for the first time.

Nathanial is a bundle of energy, very into Thomas the Tank and everything is Choo Choo. He has started saying new words, he says grandma, Zaidy, Howie, Sock,Sit and Cheese. He started DayCare two weeks ago and came home sick and spread it around the house so we are all getting better from that. He loves to dance and say hello to everyone.

Jeff and I are starting to get the house ready for our nanny who arrives in March as I am going back to work after the March Break. I have also decided to go back to school in Spetember and get my degree in Child and Youth Work which will move me up in the pay scale..which will be very good, it will also add to the degrees and diplomas on the wall.

I am also venturing into my own buisness, details to follow soon.

In a nut shell the last two months have been summed up.

Done

2007-09-19T22:06:00.000-05:00

Well, I am almost 6 days overdue and quite ready for this baby to come into the world. AS of right now, there is no indication that it will be coming soon. I am goign to the Dr on Friday and hopefully something will be done because i am now hurting. I am done....I have not complained at all throughout this pregnancy or through Nathanials but as of now I am done...I want this baby out!!!!!

I was sure that I would be early as everyone said you usually are with your second. Well not me. I am hoping by the end of this weekend I will have a new baby to hold. If not I will be sreaming from frustration.

Getting close

2007-09-08T20:47:00.000-05:00

Only a few more days until my due date. Who knows if I will be on time. Some say with a second your early...I don't feel it. There is a lot of movement going on and pains but nothing that feels like labour is going to happen anytime soon.
I have cleaned the house, washed all the babies clothes, got the car seat, swing and breast pump ready. Bags are packed, mine, Nathanials and Baby G and I still think I am forgetting something.
I am due in 5 days. I can't believe that its coming up so fast. I believe that I will deliver later..just because I was late with Nathanial...only by a couple of days. As long as the baby is healthy and has all their fingers and toes then I will be happy whenever it comes.

Been a while

2007-09-04T11:34:00.000-05:00

Well its been a while and who knows who really reads my blog anyways, but I thought I would update it now. This summer has been a busy one, working, keeping Nathanial busy and getting ready for number 2. With one week left I am feeling great and have set up the room, updated totsite, and packed the bags. I haven't had that burst of energy where you start cleaning everything, bur have had organizational spurts.
Nathanial is signed for 2 classes on the weekends with daddy and will be starting daycare 2 days a week come December or Jan. We have also started the process of looking for a nanny as I am planning to go back to work after the March break and it will be easier to have someone here with the kids and helping around the house than running to do everything myself. I have tossed the idea of a nanny and have said many times I don't want one but when you have two kids and have to look at daycare and such, its so much cheaper and easier to have one. Since my hours at work are not long, I thinkg that things may work out and Jeff and I may even have a date night once and a while.
Anyways I am going to rest and will hopefully find time to write again.

Being Adopted

2007-05-27T11:33:00.000-05:00

The other week I was at a birthday party and someone asked me what it felt like having my own child coming from an adopted family. I thought that was a good question as I never thought about it before. I met my biological mother 8 years ago and have maintained a relationship with her and her family.

Having a child who is your flesh and blood and you can see yourself in him and think oh my he is mine, I think to myself what a selfless act my biological mom did giving me up. I couldn't see myself doing that.

I think it will have an effect on me as my family grows and they may have questions regarding it.

Thoughts on having a child

2007-05-21T10:26:00.000-05:00

Well May is almost ending which means Nathanial is almost one. Where has the time gone.
He is walking, saying some words, crawling like a machine and getting into everything. He is so cute and the love of my life. Everyone says when you have a kid you will realize what love really means and how it feels to loves someone so much. I can totally see that with how I feel about my son. I have cried at times realizing that he is growing up..many times I don't want him to because I like him small. I look at some of the kids in the neighborhood or at the school I work at and I am thinking oh my goodness one day he will be that age.
I am not wishing his life away, If I could I would keep him small forever.

I don't really know what I am trying to say but it feels like this year has gone by so fast and everyone says each year they get older it goes by faster and slows down in the teen years. Sometimes I wonder if it could be the other way around.:)

a mish mash of thoughts

2007-04-26T21:57:00.000-05:00

I don't know what to type as a title for this blog as it will probably end up with a whole mish mash of thought and feelings.

As April comes to a close I have hit 21 weeks of my pregnancy, I feel very fat and I know I am a lot bigger than I was with Nathanial at this time.

Nathanial is growing up so much, he is climbing stairs, noticing everything around him the animals and such. He is saying a little more and is turning into a little person. I can't believe it. He is starting to stand on his own even if its for a few seconds.

Work is ok, Still don't like how the program is run and have major issues on the lables of children.

I wish I wasn't so tired all the time and had more energy.

Tomorrow we go for our last major ultrasound..even though my doctor does one everytime I visit so we can see.

I am debating wanting to know if the baby is a boy or a girl. I am torn about this subject. I want to know for the obvious reasons: decorating the room, names, clothing etc. I also know there are not a lot of surprises in life and I kind of want to have this as a major surprise. Jeff wants to know before the baby is born.

I guess thats all for now, short and sweet

Girl or Boy

2007-03-15T09:45:00.000-05:00

When your pregnant everyone wants to know, when the baby is due and if you know if its a girl or boy. If you don't know they ask what do you want? Lately my answer has been another boy. The reason for this is that the new baby and Nathanial will be close in age I thought it would be nice for him to have a brother, they would grow up pretty close in age.

Of course I don't care if its a girl, but thinking about when shes older, the PMS, the moods and teenage girls and their moms. I know how I was, and with my luck I would have a stubborn and very independent girl like I was. But, then theirs the dolls, the games and dress up that you can't really do with a boy. I would like a girl so that Jeff can be afraid of her meeting boys, dating and worrying about how she leaves the house.

All I want is a happy healthy baby and whatever I get I will be happy with.
Since Jeff would like more than 2 and I would like 3 I am thinking that the next one will be spaced a little...let the baby of the family be a girl. Older brothers to protect her and she can mellow the boys:)

Ultra Sound

2007-03-12T18:25:00.000-05:00

Today I went to have my 13 week ultra sound done. I had to get the ultra sound, blood test and then see my DR. Well when I was having the ultra sound done, besides wanting to pee so badly I was amazed at what I saw. Nathanial was not a baby who moved so much but this one, was doing the 20 minute workout. Turning around, flipping upside down, letting us see their legs and arms. It was really amazing. Its also amazing to think that in a few months that baby will not be able to do all that I will start feeling all that movement.

Nathanial was great throughout the appointments, my friend Amanda came with me and kept him busy, he was quite happy eating his chicken nuggets, sliced apples and looking at himself in the mirror.

Back to work

2007-03-02T23:07:00.000-05:00

Well in 2 days I start back to work and I am not looking forward to it. I think it would be different if I liked the job I am going back to, but how can you like a job when you share a classroom with a teacher who doesn't understand how to work with the kids? He makes my job harder and worst of all doesn't understand pregnancy at all. Last year, he complained to the principal about me going to Dr appointments on my lunch hour or right after work or even when I had morning sickness. He is not an easy person to work with and most other people in the school stay away from him. I of course am stuck for 5 hours in the same classroom with him. I just have to remember its for 4 months.

Thankfully my mom is taking Nathanial for 4 days a week and Jeff on Fridays. My mom lives right across from where I work so thankfully Nathanial is close by.

I am not looking forward to Monday but have to remember its for one week, and then March Break begins. Then back for 2 weeks and off for the first week of April. I have 25 sick days and 4 holy days to take and I plan on taking most of them.

Back from London

2007-02-28T20:32:00.000-05:00

After are whirlwind visit to England and visiting all the family I came back to find that my great Aunt had passed away. She was 96 years young. She was an amazing woman, she walked everywhere, tap danced, read and spoke 4 languages. She was sitting in her chair reading when she passed away.

Well we have been in London for 4 days know and I love it, I love being around my family and having my son meet all his cousins.

To wait or not to wait

2007-01-24T11:15:00.000-05:00

I discovered last week that I am pregnant again..due in September, so at the time of writing this I am 6 weeks pregnant. There is such a debate about telling before the 3 months. My belief is to tell, Why hold in such good news, if g-d forbid something will happen the people who you told would be the people that would support you through it as well.

For me people would know before the 3 months because I have to go back to work and I have to give one month notice of my intent to go back because my Mat leave is over in May. I also told the mommy's in my mommy group because we do playgroups twice a week and once I go back to work I will not be able too join and thought it fair to tell them ahead of time.

So for me the debate of waiting the 3 months is not so hard, I didn't wait with Nathanial and I didn't wait for this one. I told my closest friends because they are the ones who I turn to for everything and that is important to me.

My little boy is sick

2007-01-06T20:27:00.002-05:00

On wednesay Nathanial came down with a fever and started to throw up his cereal in the morning. He slept most of the day and just wanted to be in mommys arms. My usually upbeat little boy had been hit by something. Thursday he had the same thing but the fever had gone down and the throwing up had stopped. We went to the doctor who did a urine test and told us to give him advil and to come in the next day. On Friday we went in and we found out he has an infection. He is on antibiotics and has to be on them for 10 days. My little guy is so tired and so listless. It is so hard to see, my usually upbeat little boy just wants to lie down and sleep. At least the major poop has stopped.
We also realized today on top of him being ill, he is teething..

It is so hard to see him this way and feel so helpless. I have cried many times seeing him like this, as they say its harder on us then on him. You just realize the love so much and wish it could be you feeling this way instead.

first blog of the new year

2007-01-03T00:59:00.000-05:00

Well as 2007 begins I can't believe the changes that have occured in the past 7 years. Many good, some bad, some friendships mended and some ended. I re met my husband, bought a house, got married, had a baby...etc. As I look back at old New Year resolutions I see that most of the time I don't keep the. This year I decided not to make any. I have some goals I would like to reach and some changes to make, but all in all I am happy with how my life has turned out. I can't worry about my weight, especially in my field of work, I would like to loose about 10-15 pounds to be at my healthy weight but need to be careful about showing this around the girls that I work with. Many of the girls have eating disorders and most picked it up from society and their mothers. I want to loose weight and will in time. I would like to start my own buisness so I do not have to go back to work. I would like to concieve another child as I don't want Nathanial to be an only child. I was and I always wanted a brother or sister. I would like to do some home improvements and get rid of many things that are cluttering our house. Those are my 2007 goals, some may be met and others not, but hopefully I will try to meet some.

Nathanial on the move

2006-12-24T12:44:00.000-05:00

In the past week Nathanial has accomplished his crawling techniques. He is moving across the floor very fast but hasn't mastered the art of pushing himself to fully crawling. He tries to pull himself up but does a bridge instead. It is rather cute. He can also pull himself to standing if he is holding onto something. For a little boy of 61/2 months I think he is doing very well.
Today he discovered the cat door,when Jeff opened the door to go to the basement, he saw some toy blocks on the other side. Nathanial had put them through the door.

This weeks job will be to child proof the house..

Nathanials first Chanukah

2006-12-18T11:46:00.000-05:00

Nathanial had his first Chanukah this weekend and all I can say is wow. It is so different from a mommy perspective. On Friday we went to Grandma and Grandpas for dinner and Bubbie and Zadie too. On Saturday, We hosted Grandma and Grandpa and Bubbie and Zaidie for dinner. Sunday which was mommys birthday we went to a wedding where Nathanial was the bell of the ball, waving, smiling, and singing to others. In the evening we went to a Chanukah party and he was up and smiling and trying to crawl for everyone.

Things that really annoy me

2006-12-12T17:28:00.000-05:00

Today I was running some errands and I got hit with a 150 dollar parking ticket. I didn't even park. I went to the dry cleaner to drop off a load of laundry. There were no parking spots near the dry cleaner, so I went right infront of the door where a couple of other cars were and went to empty out the car of the dry cleaning. I quickly went and put everything on the counter, as I was returning to the car a lady in a wheelchair, waiting for her wheeltrans dropped her purse. People were stepping over her stuff not helping. I picked up all her items and then went to park the car...Wouldn't you know in that time I got the ticket. Of Course I am going to fight it...the guy was watching...didn't he see I had a baby? But this whole thing got me on a tangent because as I left I saw someone park in the handicap spot and they didn't have a sticker and they jumped out the of car and ran inside the store. So this got me to list my top 10 annoying things I have noticed.

1. People who park in handicap spots who don't need it
2. People who can't help elders
3. Strangers who touch my baby
4. when the newspaper boy drops the paper off and its soaking wet
5. People leave garbage at the curb for weeks on end
6. People who drive 30 in the fast lane
7. Parking officers wasting their time watching people who park for a second instead of watching those who park else where which is worse then where I parked
8. When people talk about others behind their back..say it to them..if not you know it always gets back to them somehow.
9. Long line ups in the store when its because someone else is taking up so much time
10.When people don't think before they speak

Theres so much more but I will leave it at that for now.

Israeli Source

2006-12-03T20:56:00.000-05:00

Today I went to the Israeli Source located on Doncaster...BIG mistake to go there on a Sunday. Anyways they were having a huge sale on Hanukkah things. So I bought Nathanial a bunch of things from there...you could honestly go ballistic in there. I bought him a Hanukkah Cd which is so cute, A book with the Hebrew alphabet as well as a plush toy with the alphabet on it and a book for Hanukkah. Cost me under $25.00. I went to Israels today as well and the same things there were so much more. I know where I am going to go from now on for gifts.

Celebrity Moms

2006-12-01T11:50:00.000-05:00

I have been reading over the last few months regarding celebrity mothers and their capabilities at parenthood. Everyone has an opinion good or bad. In one of my previous blogs I wrote about the controversy of Madonna adopting a little boy. Here is a woman known for stiring up controversy, the one time she does something non controversial it becomes a media frenzy. Angelina Jolie has adopted 2 children and is on her way to adopting a 3rd. These children need families. There are so many children in need of homes and here these people who can provide so much are getting slack. Not only are they helping these children they are helping their villages too.

The big controversial motherhood story at the moment is Britney...now there is an unfit mom. Shes out partying for the last 2 weeks day and night..no kids...Nanny's looking after them. She married a schmuck who left his pregnant girlfriend for her. He partied, cheated and spent her money and now he wants custody of the two boys. Neither one of them are fit to be parents to these boys at the moment. These boys are going to suffer greatly. I am just sorry that nobody is fighting on their behalf.

I think this is probably my 8th attempt at a blog. The first one was up and running for a few months until someone changed all my info somehow and i was unable to get in. Then tried a few more times and something always happened so this is my last attempt. hopefully it works.
