Monday, July 08, 2002 - Well all I have to say is that I put up a new page with some pictures on it. I just really didn't know where they should have went so I made a page for them. I just wish I had a family picture of us but I had the camara...I love taking pictures just don't like getting mine taken. Pics I will put a link on the main page when I get a chance. Hugs!

Thursday, July 11, 2002I was bored. =/ So I decided to make a new layout, because I was just so sick of seeing the same thing...and I'm sure you guys were too. So I hope ya's like it...I think it's cute. It will probably be up for awhile. I just had the time to do it the past couple of days. Well I was actually just thinking about making a new one. This layout only took me about an hour to put together. What took me so long is that I didn't now how I wanted to be layed out. Ahh well, I just love that baby in the tub. Awww...cutie!

Well there has been a change of plans. I might be leaving this weekend. It all depends if my mother get's the time off. It would be awesome if she does get it off, because there's a lobster festival going on in Pictou, not that far from where they live, I have missed one lobster festival since my sister moved up there. Dominic would love it. He has the moves. lol Music would have to be one of his favorite things. He'll be sitting on the floor and if I start playing music he'll bop on his bottom and try to clap his hands. He get's too excited and it looks more like he's trying to fly than trying to clap his hands. hehe. He is supposed to be sleeping...it's 9:23pm and he is still awake. But he had a nap at 5pm and slept until 7pm, so he hasn't been up all too long, but he is still tired. He has been terrible the past few nights. Before day light he's in bed with us and wide awake and ready to play. Pulling my hair and trying to put his pacifer in my mouth, then when I look at him he has a big ol' grin on his face. Well I better get going and try to get my little mouse asleep. So hugs!

Friday, July 19, 2002 These are some quizes I took. I was looking at Marie's blog and I was interested in them. Thanks Marie! I was bored. hehe

I'm getting there. I don't suck, but I've got a ways to go.

I don't have much time to type anything. I just got back from River John with my mother today. And while I was up there I didn't get much sleep at all. So I just thought I would come on and explain why I was away, because I'm off to get some sleep. So goodnight!

Sunday, July 21, 2002 Dominic is a big whole 8 months today. I had balloons all over the ceiling. He loved it. Of course he is too young to play with them but he loves laying on the floor looking at them.
Well the night that I finished my layout for my site my mother walks in at midnight, and tells me to be ready to leave by tomorrow morning to go to River John. Well it was a surprise and she scared me to death. Now someone knocking at your door at midnight would scare you too. But anyways, I had Dominic's clothes packed that night when she left because where he sleeps in our room and his clothes are in the other room. So I had one thing done. The next morning Dominic woke me up at 7am so I got up and packed my clothes and got cleaned up and ready to leave. My mother showed up around 9am and I was still in a rush packing the car and making sure I had everything. Finally I had everything ready to go. So off we were. Dominic was excellent the whole way up. He slept most of the way. So that was no trouble. We finally got there and that weekend my mother, Lou, my sister, and her boyfriend all had the weekend off. So we planned a beach party. It was great because they live right beside the beach. What a lovely spot to live. So I got sun burnt. Naughty me, I didn't wear sunscreen. But I always put it on Dominic. So he got a tan and I turned out to be burnt toast. But I had a great time, besides my sisters braty kids. I had to drag Alana, her daughter, to the rocking chair to be punished for talking back and not doing what she was told. I love kids but she really got to me that day and I just couldn't take it no more. And Melinda told me that I was in the right and that she probably deserved it. I have quite a lot of paitience (sp?) when it comes to kids, but she really blew my top. I guess I'm not used to little kids talking back like she did to me.
Today was a beautiful day so I took Dominic to his Great Aunts and Uncle's, because they haven't really saw him since xmas. And my Aunt Lil was home and she's only home every blue moon, because she lives in Ontario. Dominic had fun with all the attention he was getting. He was really cheerful in there, yelling "da-da" every chance he got. Well Jamie is here waiting for me to watch a movie so I better go watch it before I fall asleep. Hugs! Oh here is another quiz I took.

hehe what ever that means

Friday, July 26, 2002 Gesh! I had a hard time gettting into my blogger. I thought I was putting the right password and username, but I guess I wasn't. Well today it was HOT! I was laying out and I got my back burnt! Och! It is bugging me right now. I got Jamie to rub baby oil on me...because I know that works if you are trying to get a tan, works very well by the looks of it. This is the darkest I ever been. Well Dominic is upstairs laughing. hehe I can hear him on the monitor. Crazy baby. He has this crazy smile. He closes his eyes and lifts his nose up and lifts his lips up, it's cute. Today he was trying to reach for his toy and it was just to far away and it was like slow motion and he fell on his face, he just layed on his belly and played with his toy until he had enough and cried. Well i got to get going because this keyboard is not really working for me today. I keep on hitting the wrong keys...and it's way past Dominic's bed time. Well Hugs!

Sunday, August 04, 2002 I am falling asleep here, but I haven't typed anything here for awhile. This weekend my mother surprised me by coming home for good a week early. So I've been busy catching up with everything with my family. Since I don't have transportation, and I'm not in walking distance, I don't get to see my mother's side of the family. So I've been visiting my Grandmother who isn't doing all that great. She is tired all the time and the only time she gets out of bed is to eat. I feel really sorry for her and also for my Grandfather. He told me today that he doesn't get much sleep because my Grandmother is always talking in her sleep or screaming so he has to comfort her most of the night. I wish I had of spent more time with them before, I didn't spend a lot of time with them, but you just think that you wish you could have done more with them when they were well enough to do those kind of things. My Grandmother thinks she's a young woman, and my mother is a little kid again. She will set the table for 3 even though it's only two of them and she'll say that "Little Jude, she be coming in from playing soon" Now she thinks my mother is another person, totally different. She believes I'm a friend that used to live across the road, Jeani. It's really freaky. But the thing was that she was getting better and she knew who I was and enjoyed talking about Dominic and always talking about my colorful socks I wear. I mean she was herself and now it's like she is lost again. It's hard for me and it must be even harder for my mother to see her mother go through all this pain and for her father who can leave my Grandmother unattended. It's wearing him down too. I scared that he'll just give up on life and not care anymore. My aunt that lives nextdoor to them looks after my Grandmother and lets my Grandfather get out for awhile. Ahhh...it's terrible to see someone you love and care for deterarate into almost like a small child that can't do anything for themselves. Oh my, I just don't want that to happen to me if it ever does, I would want Dominic to put me in a home, because I wouldn't want to be a pain in someone neck, and pretty much not allow them to live their own life. Well enough about that subject, Dominic is doing pretty good at walking he'll only walk if you hold his hands. Sometimes he'll take these huge steps, and he'll have a huge grin on his face. Oh, my baby is growing too fast. It's amazing to think that he'll be a year old soon. I can't wait in a sense. I want to hear him say some new words, but it doesn't matter how old he is, he'll always be my baby. Well I got to get to bed. I got up at 6:30am today, and I'm not a happy camper. hehe. Night!
