Things that make you go mmmmm....

I start my blog off today telling you that Pike Lake(just outside of Saskatoon) is a beautiful park and I want to go again soon but it is booked up all summer...ok...to my title
I am amazed on how my old boss who apparently thinks that Cheryl is still G & T family but feel they(company and Greg) need to screw her over on a couple of things that should have and were to be looked after a month ago....this is when I wish I was still there and get things completed to ease Cheryl's pain, as if she isn't dealing with enough things in her life and the dumbass continues to add to it, I wish I could beat him with a stick...can ya tell I am pissed!!!! I am glad that Cheryl will be taking this to higher powers and I told her I would be a character witness when she knocks the living crap out of him. Enough about that or I might throw my computer.

Secondly, I have been putting off seeing my mom lately so I sucked it up and took Parker there tonight to find that she was in an awesome mood but a little leary of going to see a specialist finally about her blood condition. No mention of my bor and sis so that was good...no reason to make my blood boil two times in one day so I was glad that I went.

Thirdly, I have been screened for a perm part time job with full time hours that I applied for along time ago with the government and it is making me antsy...I keep asking myself all these questions so I don't even know if I want to take an interview. My job is pretty much secure to June 30, 2010 and if the girl I replaced doesn't come back(why would you come back for a level 4 when she took a level 6 term job)then they will post my position perm. I really like what I do and I like most of the people(what would a job be if you didn't have one or two that piss you off)so I am torn.

Well I guess that is it for the night.

Rain Rain is that why I am grouchy?

This weather really sucks and it is making people grouchy and depressed. I thought there was a glimmer of hope this afternoon but then again at soccer tonight I needed a jacket and a blanket! How is it going to get to 32 this weekend, can't see it. I hope it does because we are going camping to Pike Lake just past Saskatoon, it is one of the parks that we haven't gone to ever so I really hope it is nice.
Speaking of grouchy and dpressed....my mom left me a message today(I have been kind of avoiding her lately since her bought in the hospital, I have seen her a few times but find more excuses every day on why I don't want to see her) that she has blood issues again and that her protein is really high and she needs to see a specialist so I googled protein in blood and it brings up lots of reasons why but mostly it explains that the kidneys are in failure and bone marrow infections/cancer. When she was in the hospital they did every test known to man kind to her and the only thing that came out of it was Liver Disease, hence being an alcoholic has everything to do with it but I knew that it was more than that. Being the oldest sibling in my family means nothing to my mom, she only calls when she is mad at my brother and sister and to give me her GREAT news, am I being selfish to not want to deal with her or my siblings.......I just don't know how much more of a rollercoaster my emotions can handle and if I can just walk away it seems so much easier. It is coming up to the one year anniversary of my dad's burial and I think that is why I am feeling so crappy..this year is 11 years since he passed away and no one in my family wanted to do anything about getting his urn buried except for me....apparently they didn't want to deal with that. I am glad that it was finally done last year and it was the first father;s day that I actually got to go somewhere and talk to him!!! When I worked at Grand and Toy I would go at lunch to visit his grave and now I go every EDO and it makes me feel good.
Enough of my rambling,,,,just needed to get it out

And the bidding starts at.......hehe

That was the lines out of Parker's mouth last night as we were driving to a Art Show hosted by the Regina Public Schools and Parker had been chosen by his teacher to enter his Nattive Legeng Loon picture....you would not believe it my child speechless!!! They recieved certificates and a hand shake by the Superintendent of the school board, he was so excited(his dimple was glowing) and his teacher even showed up for the festivities. He thought that it was going to be sold like an auction after I giggled I told him he could become an artist and then his paintings would be up for auction. That was it for our exciting night exept for the Penguins finally winning a game.

Can't Believe It

After all the humming and hawing, I have finally done it...not sure how good it will be but I will give it a try.

The worst thing about blogging was coming up with a name that I could use, I have searched the web and even asked friends what could I use as a great name and whoola...I picked Flip Flop because:
I love flip flops(who has enough pairs....ever)
and I was a little flipfloppy on the whole blog starting....so here it goes.

This weekend was a very busy weekend for us, our annual block party that we have attended for the last 5 years....the kids absolutely love it and it gets bigger and bigger every year. This year my job was to be in charge of the scavenger hunt so of course I left my job to the bitter end, so there was me on Friday night trying to come up with 50 items for the kiddies to find either in our bay or in someones house. It was a complete success, we had 30 kids come for the hunt and they had a 1/2 hour to find all 50 items and bring them to my house where they would find a colored basket to put them in. The winning team was a tie so Parker's team and another had to flip a coin to see who would win and it was Parker's team...they were pumped. Everyone one a prize and fun was had by all. We also had bouncers and bouncy slides, bonfire and way too many drinks once the kidlets went to bed.
Well that is it for the first time!
