Sometimes people really bother me. Heck even my family really bothers me. I can be fine and then all of a sudden WHAM! Out of nowhere I am hit. You know, when I think about it, most of the time it is my fault. I try to talk to someone about something. I don't think the topic is controversial but it always turns that way.
Now me, I am not a controversial person. I don't like to argue just to argue. But there are some people out there who are. And you know what? Sometimes they are not worth my time. I know this makes no sense, and I am just ranting. But sometimes it feels so good to get it out without reprocutions of actually talking to the party involved. Sigh ok that's it for now.
Oh wait. GO SHARKS!

Lifes random thoughts
Ok I stole this from Dixie, put I have no idea how to highlight her name!
When is the best time to open presents?Oh I hate waiting! Sometimes if I beg my husband he lets me open one of Christmas eve. But I must say Christmas morning is the best. Even though I hate waiting.
Have you been naughty or nice this year?A little of both probably. I am only human right?

Favorite Christmas cartoon character?Charlie Brown all the way. I love him.
Did you ever write Santa a letter?I think I just told him what I wanted when I sat on his lap. I figured I would go straight to the man himself instead of relying on the postal service.

Well Crap
Ok, so my Sharks? You know the ones whose game I was sooo happy to go to? Well, they are sucking. Plain and simple. My man Nabby, isn't making me happy. Now some of you are saying, "C'mon Tiff, it is only hockey". Well to you, I say &#^##(#&! No not really, but seriously! I didn't wait a whole year of negotiations to watch my team fail miserably!
The last game I went to was an awesome game. I will give them that. I got to see Ricci, my favorite player who was traded. They did a tribute to him, and he got an ovation. It was awesome! Ok then I also got to see Wayne Gretzky. Or "The Great One" and that was pretty cool. I also got to see a fight, and the game went into double overtime. Ok ok, so not a horrible game, but they still lost.
I was starting to think it was me. Since I have never been to a sports event where my team has won. But they are doing so horrible that it can't possibly be me.
Oh well, they will have a chance to redeem themselves tomorrow. Lets see if they can pull out a win. And just for the record, I still love the Sharks, even if they suck, and I am not jumping on any bandwagons. This girl will go down with her team!

Shoes, Hockey and housecleaning
Seems like I always post about depressing stuff. Yeah, you know all five of my posts? LOL! So I am going to write about my boring Saturday. Well boring so far. So far I went to Mervyns. I desperately needed some shoes. I only own flip flops, I guess living in California I can get away with it. But I needed some tennis shoes. Is that what they are even called? I think so, well ok maybe I will be more specific, I needed shoes with laces that cover my toes. Ok that might make more sense. So anyways found some of the awful devices made to restrict my painted toes and cause them to sweat! Why would I do this to my toes? Well tonight I am going to my first hockey game of the season! GO SHARKS! And I really didn't want to step on sticky stuff, or have someone step on my poor defenseless toes. So in comes the shoes.
Ok back to the day. After the store went to Burger King and indulged on a huge burger that I didn't need but it was worth it. Then I came home and cleaned my house.
So that concludes my Saturday up to this point. Now tonight I am going to a hockey game. My favorite sport of all time. And I will hopefully see my favorite team actually win. I have been to there games before, heck I have been to many different sports games. But I have yet to see my team win. Any team I am routing for loses. So I am a little nervous about going tonight. Maybe I am bad luck. Hopefully I am not, since I would really like to see them win. Ok so that is it. Hopefully I will get back to updating this, since I do get bummed when my fellow bloggers stop blogging!

Memories
On Good Friday, April 13 2001 I had a miscarriage. The baby was supposed to be born on October 4 2001. I was supposed to be 12 weeks pregnant with my second child when I had some very mild spotting.
So I called my doc and went in assuming it was nothing. My MIL wanted to go with me, which was fine but told yahoo to keep working. I am crying as I write this, which is crazy, it was over 4 years ago. But I went into the apt and the doc couldn't find a heartbeat. SO we did an ultrasound still assuming everything was fine.
Well she was looking around and we saw the baby, but she excused herself and came back with another doctor. That is when they told me the baby had died. He (I just always assumed it was a him) had probably died about 2 weeks earlier. They took pics with the ultrasound machine and gave them to me. I still have them in a box and take them out every now and then.
I never did pass him, and had to have a D&C which only added to the pain.
I will never forget that feeling. I know it is nothing like losing a child who is already born. But the pain I felt and still fell was so strong. I talk about the baby often with yahoo like expressing he would be four in a couple weeks.
Not sure what possessed me to share this, other than the fact of his bday coming up. But if you got this far thanks for reading.

In a funk
Right now I am in a huge funk. I have so many feelings inside I don't even know where to start. My sister-in-law had a beautiful baby boy this weekend. He is just perfect! I am so happy for them. But at the sometime I am a little sad. See I already have three awesome children. They are perfect to me. Sure they are hard sometimes, but I couldn't love them more. Yet a desire for another child whispers in my ear. I don't know if this is just a passing moment but I am dealing with it.
And then my in-laws. I just feel like I am letting them down on some level. We used to be really close especially my father-in-law. But lately we have just been drifting. It is probably the normal in-law relationship now, I am just not used to it.
Wow this is turning into a rant fest! Next thing on my list. I am starting to put on weight. I have put on 10 pounds. I don't know if this is because I work from home, and I can eat all day, or if is just the lack of exercise. I literally do none. I know I should, but I have no motivation! But my pants are getting tight, and hubby has started to say stuff. Nothing bad at all, but just little things. I know he means well. I really want to be trim and fit!
Well I just looked out my window and there is a squirrel staring at me! Life isn't all bad. In fact my favorite time of year is almost here. Autumn. Time for snuggling under blankets, sweaters, leaves turning, and the smell, just the smell of fall is enough to put me in a good mood!

How do you deal?
How do you deal with your pain? When someone you love hurts you, how do you approach the situation? Do you cry by yourself? Do you get angry? Do you confront the person? I have a tendency to get angry. So angry that I can't see straight. I say things and do things that I am not proud of. But am I justified? If someone I trust hurts me, do I have the right to tear them apart? Should I be able to make them feel as bad as I feel? And if I do that, what am I accomplishing? At the time, I do everything in my power to try and make the person understand why I am hurt, and I want them to apologize and feel as crappy as I do. But thinking about it, am I just as bad as the person who hurt me? Would I be better if I cried alone and then approached the person who hurt me? Sure I would make more sense that way, and I wouldn't be so passionate, but would I be able to get my point across? Is getting my point across even that important? Who knows.......

Cleaning
I don't know about anyone else, but I am not a fan of cleaning. I do love a clean house though. But I do daycare, and I live in a very small house. And when I say small, I mean it. I have three small children and we live in a two bedroom 940 sq foot house. So literally five minutes after I am done cleaning, the house is a mess again. Now hubby hates this. And I can see why, I mean who wants to come home to a dirty house? So my suggestion? Move. Not him, but all of us. I would love to live in a three or four bedroom house. A house where the toys can actually have there own place. A house where my three children don't have to sleep on top of each other! Hubby is not to keen on the idea, but a wife can hope can't she?!
