6 days til the kids come home ! Yay ! 3 days after that I'll be wishing they were at his place again but I'm sure we'll manage.
It has been so boring here with just Kate {and Jason} and I. We have managed to spend some quality time together but usually she's getting up when I go to bed and vice versa. We went out for supper on Friday - that was nice. We should do that more often.
I went to Barrie yesterday with my mom and sister and niece. That was fun ~ we haven't done that for along time. Need to do that more often too. We were home by 5:00 so I went and rented some movies ~ Matrix Revolutions and Secret Window. Both weird but okay. I have to watch Revolutions again cause I'm sure I missed some of it. I had to watch the original Matrix like 8 times and was still picking up new things I had missed from each time before. The first one was still definitely the BEST by far but ....
Secret Window was okay ~ kinda cute endng. I'm not sure how many other actors could stand that much screen time without getting totally sickening but Johnny Depp pulled it off {for me anyway}.
I have to go back to work tonight. My assistant manager is on holidays this week so we get the "Big Boy" Monday and Tuesday. Should be ummm, interesting.
I finally got to Legal Aid on Friday. Have the certificate in my hot little hand ~ now I just need to phone a lawyer. There is a new one coming to Owen Sound on Tuesday {fate???} so I think I will give her a call. I just need a separation agreement done ~ hopefully he'll sign it and not have to go to Court but bring it on, baby if he wants.

The fireworks were great ! We spent the afternoon at Kelso Beach and we didn't get home til after 11. The kids were so tired but they had fun.
They are spending 2 weeks at their dad's so they can take swimming lessons. He was suppose to have someone stay at the house with them while he worked (even though he is not suppose to leave them with a babysitter while I am here available) but it turns out she is coming over in the mornings and taking my kids back to her house after swimming lessons are over then he picks them up from her place after work. Not acceptable. I only let them go because they were suppose to be at his place where at least he has the pool set up. Not just to sit at her place every afternoon. She may as well bring them home every day after swimming lessons where they belong. He is suppose to be talking to her tomorrow cause even he thought she was staying at his place. I kinda wondered why her husband and kids would think it was okay for her to stay at his place all week.
Ben's birthday party is this weekend. He has promised Kwyn that he isn't going to get drunk while he is there. If I find out he drank while he had them, I'll kill him. I should find out if he's been drinking while they are at his place too.
I have the weekend off ~ I think I'll treat myself to supper on Friday since it is payday. I still want to buy a car ~ obviously he has no intention of ever giving me the van "you expect me to put my time and money into finishing it then just hand it to you?????" so if I want a vehicle, I'm going to have to buy it myself. I hope a judge eats him alive when we go to split up the property.
I must remember to phone Marcia tomorrow to find out where the support stands. How many warnings does he get?
I have to get ready for work now. Two more nights to go then I get 2 nights off. Judy had to wear a clown costume last night and ride a tricycle ~ that was kinda comical. She is such a good sport ~ just takes the humiliation in stride. I am going to miss her when she is finished nights next month.
The kitten is driving me nuts. She bites my nose. She also tries to climb up the curtains or the screen door, whichever she gets her claws into first.
My feet are so swelled up I'll be lucky to get my boots on tonight. Must be the heat!!! And to think, 2 weeks ago I was whining about the cold/rain.
Wanda let you in @ 9:40 PM

Happy Canada Day, eh. Hope everyone had a great holiday. I took the kids to see the fireworks at Kelso Beach. We started out behind a tree and had to make a quick move. We still couldn't see the small fireworks but the rest were okay. The kids were great ~ no fighting, nobody got lost. They all saw so many people there that they knew but there were soooo many people there ~ it was nuts.
The wedding went great ~ Kwyn was such a doll. He was the hit of the day. I think he got more comments than Reghanne did and she looked so cute in her tiara. The kids and I ended up sleeping in Milt's hotel room (he thought we should take a cab to his niece's) and I have no idea where he slept. He got a room with 1 king size bed in it and the 4 kids looked so cute all laying on it I wasn't going to move them.
He actually had the nerve to ask me if I wanted to go to Ben's birthday party in 2 weeks. Duh.... as if. As long as things are going his way, its great. As soon as he doesn't get his own way "I'm going to my lawyer, wah wah wah".
Again, Happy Canada Day and Happy 4th of July to any American friends!!!!
