I just got back from Richmond Hill ~ Kim and I are helping to set up the pantry at a Wal-Mart down there. Things are so organized at work that my boss phoned Monday night looking for me ~ no one told her I was gone. Oops, I was afraid that was going to happen but at least she knows now. Nice communication there.
Kwyn and Kelsey are at Milt's this weekend and the girls are at the movies and bowling so it is just me and what do I do? play on the computer ! I should be out doing something ~ I should have gone bowling too ~ I'm sure Kylee and her friends would have loved that.
Melissa made out okay with the kids this week. Kate, I'm sure, was such a big help ! She is off to her au pare job on Monday. A year away from home ~ should be a challenge for her not to quit after a few months. I really hope she can do this ~ it is a great opportunity for her.
Kate is going to Nationals in Montreal on Tuesday with the school choir. Great experience for her; I wish I could go as a chaperone. That would be pretty cool. She is upset that I am going to miss her concert again next week. Working out of town doesn't come along very often though and I hate to give up the chance ~ it will be hard going back to spotting/stocking as it is.
I thought Kwyn would miss me more than he did ~ I wasn't home 5 minutes then he was running off to his dad's. Brat ! Even Kelsey left with him ~ but I knew she would. I think if she had her way, she'd move back with him. He wants to take them to counselling ~ as long as he isn't sitting in the room with them but it has been a few months so I'm sure they've forgotten (or I hope so anyway) how things were at home. They aren't going to tell anyone what he did anyway ~ he's still their dad and they love him no matter how miserable he made everyone. I think he hopes they'll tell the counsellor that they want to move back home or that they hate the new apartment.
Baseball starts soon ~ I have no idea how he figures on getting them to all their games but that's something he's going to have to figure out since he won't give me the fucking van. That really pisses me off; he's sitting there with 4 vehicles and I am borrowing and taking the bus and cabs. And its not just me; its his kids too.
We have to pick up Kwyn's tux next week for Christi's wedding. Hopefully it doesn't need to be sized too much. I'm not sure Kwyn has any idea what he has to do but I'm sure he'll have fun. The girls are handing out programs and Christi asked Kate to sing when they are signing the register ~ Paul Brandt's "I Do". Hopefully Kate doesn't let her down and actually does something that is expected of her. Kyee is camping that week so she won't be home til the Friday afternoon and we have rehearsal Friday night and I think they kinda need Kwyn for that. Now if we had 2 vehicles, Milt could take Kwyn down early Friday and I could wait for Kylee but NO....that would be too simple.
The girls and I went dress shopping Friday night. I found some nice ones but now I just to find the money. I haven't bought anything for myself in ages so maybe I will get a new one. I hate dress shopping but Kate kept bringing more and more dresses to the fitting room.

Finally I have 2 days off - I was so tired this week. I went to Kitchener on Tuesday after work instead of going home to bed and then Friday it was almost 3 before I got to sleep. Now I have finally caught up with my sleep then its back to work tomorrow night and I'll start all over again.
Next weekend is the long weekend. I am sure Milt is going to want the kids but I hate them going there every weekend. I wouldn't let him have them this weekend cause I had the weekend off. I wanted to do something with them but they spent the entire day at the playground and I went shopping with Kate and Amanda.
It has been 2 months today. He is still bugging me "I've changed", "I love you", "please come back" but I just want to be left alone. I am still so angry with him and he just doesn't get it. I told him I don't hate him but I guess he misunderstood that to mean "keep trying". I bought an answering machine today so I can screen calls ~ he phoned me like 5 times today. Not my problem he is lonely and feeling sorry for himself.
Kwyn went to the dentist yesterday ~ $147 later. One of his caps is infected and the gum is all red ~ hopefully it doesn't get any worse. I completley forgot about Kate's appointment last week ~ its a wonder they didn't charge me the $40 no-show fee. Ooops.

I just got home from work - home being my new apartment and work being Wal-Mart. I am so tired ~ glad tonight is my last night and then 2 days off. I can't wait to sleep at night again. I love working ~ I really missed getting out there talking to people, meeting new people. The guys at work are great ~ one of them is Amanda's brother ~ small world. Another is kinda cute.
Getting the kids to school has been quite a chore since we moved. I have to borrow mom's car every morning and then dad gives me a ride home. It is a pain in the ass and I hate doing it but they would have to go to Victoria from here and that is still 12 blocks to walk. Hopefully Milt will give me the van when he gets it done but I seriously doubt it ~ "insurance reasons" was his excuse.
Kate has the parenting doll this weekend. What a pain the butt. She looks so cute though but she whines a lot and wants to be rocked constantly. Everyone at Wal-Mart was really giving her and Jason funny looks yesterday. It teaches her a lot more than having sisters ever did.
Today is Kelsey's 10th birthday ! Happy Birthday, Kelsey !!!!! Milt had a party for her yesterday ~ I wonder how that went. We are going to gramma's and granpa's today for cake and ice cream. I have to get her gift and cake yet. I have no idea what to get her. I think Milt was getting her a dress for Christi's wedding. Hopefully all the kids showed up for her party yesterday. I am taking her and a few of her Owen Sound friends bowling next weekend for her party from me. I guess being separated has its good points ~ Kelsey gets 2 !!! parties this year.
