I am on the fast track to hell my friend. My mom called tonight and asked when I was off work. (I am off this weekend) I totally um *cough* lied *cough* that I worked all weekend. I'm sick. I'm exhausted. I am in no mood to deal with Crazy German Lady.
Oh the tangled webs we weave......

My Boys
Little J in his new ball hockey gear. The boys love to get dressed up in their gear and beat the crap out of each other. I'll never understand testosterone.

Hard Lessons Learned
So I lost my drivers license on the weekend. Stupid yes I know. This means a trip to the dreaded Driver Services Building. This is the place where people go in and never come out.
The closest one to me is pretty damn big and busy busy busy. You walk in, get frisked, give blood (well ok, not that) get a number and sit down to wait an eternity. Now these numbers appear to be random computer generated tickets. There are 15 wickets. There are large lcd screens hanging from the ceiling that display the current numbers being served at what window. Every so often it 'bings' and a new number and window are displayed. I never felt so insignifigant in my life. I could have dropped dead and no one would have noticed. A smart person would have pried the ticket from my cold dead hands and used it. LOL!!
So after 78 minutes (yes I timed it) my number comes up and I head up to my wicket.
Explain what happened and provide my certified copy of my birth certificate. This is where it gets fun kids....
1.Apparently because my certified photocopy is not from a bank but a credit union, it is not valid. I do not have an original. I must order one from Manitoba. $50
2. I have been married/divorced/re-married. They need to have a paper trail of all my names. I need to have the original documents for these occasions. I only have the second marriage license. I have to order the first marriage certificate and divorce decree from vital statistics $100 for both.
It doesn't freakin matter that I have a copy of my birth certificate, my social insurance card in my maiden name, a credit card and medical card in my previous married name and a credit card, medical card etc in my current maiden name.
OH MY BLOODY GOD!! WHY IS THIS SO DAMN FREAKIN DIFFICULT!?!?!?!?
Me losing my license is going to cost me about $200. Wonderful just freakin wonderful.

Adventures in Hair Colour
I think I have medium blonde hair. I have been colouring my hair for 20 years and I honestly don't know what it looks like 'au natural'. Isn't that sad?? For the last 6 years I used the same colour each and every time, a very nice buttery blonde. Well, they dicountinued that shade and left me adrift in a sea of choices. Added to my problem, every since I popped out the kid, my hair has had a mind of it's own and does what it damn well please. So the colour on the box is not usually what ends up on my head.
I temporarily lost my mind and decided to go from platinum blonde to um well, dark auburn.
First time turned out rather well. All nice even colour, no one ran screaming at the sight of me.
I felt brave and opted to go a little 'funky' and get a burgandy hued colour. Well... the roots and about the first 3 inches of my hair looked fabulous but the rest of it...oh crap! The previously coloured hair sucked up every last bit of dye and it damn near black. I am 2 toned and not in a good way. I cannot fix it and am afraid to try. It's not washing out well either. I refuse to pay someone $$$ to fix me so here I am, the object of snickers and giggles wherever I go (I'm sure no is actually point and laughing but whatever)
I think I should just get my hair cut super super short, let the colour grow out and see what I actually look like 'real'.
Oh the horror! Clairol help me!!!

Ssshh Listen, whats that sound?
It's the sweet sound of silence. Big J and Little J have gone ice skating which leaves me, in the house, ALONE! I'm not even sure what to do with myself. Take a bath? Read a book? Run around nekkid? Clean something?
Oh the decisions. What I really want to do is go to bed but it is only 6:30pm and besides, it's must see TV tonight..... Bones, Greys Anatomy and Private Practice. Thankfully CSI is a re-run tonight so there is no scheduling conflict. I really need to get me one of thise PVR's or something to avoid these dire situations. Yes, I am a TV addict. And no, I'm not ready for help.

Ground Hog Day
That freaky little rodent better not see his shadow tomorrow... I can't handle 6 more weeks of winter! Waaaaaaah!!!!
Is it over yet?
Yikes today sucked so bad I can't bring myself to relive it again to write about it! So we will pretend it never happened. Denial is a wonderful way to live n'est pas?
Monster truck last night was a lot of fun. Little J did pretty good but he did start getting pretty squirrely near the end. 3 hours is a long time for a kid to sit still. My ears are still ringing and I'm still picking cotton candy out of Little J's hair. Would you believe we paid $25 to park!?!?!?!
For that price I expect the car washed and waxed when I get back. Holy Shyte.
Alrighty then, off to watch Extreme Home Makeover for my weekly cry.
ETA.. what is up with the spell check?? Gee thanks for highlighting the words I spell wrong but you don't give me the correct spelling? WTH?
