    PostSecretesque

     


    it's not ok, like i've said it is


     

    you hurt me more than i let on


     

    Sometimes it's hard to believe

    that everything happens for a reason


     

    I'd never give him up

    but i will always wonder what it would be like

    if you never left


     

    they told me it wasn't me you left

    but that's not what it felt like


     

    you used to be the best

    now i don't know who you are


     

    i'm tired of pretending everything's ok

    just so you can finally be happy


     

    i found the note

    i cryed

    then pretended nothing was wrong


     

    i know you deserved to be happy

    but i didn't deserve that


     

    i hope you're happy now,

    where you are


     

    I do love you

    I miss...

    blah blah

    I really do hate laundry. I used to think i liked it.. but no. There's tons of it. My room is a disaster and i blame it all on the fact i never do laundry.. unless i need to do it. It's pretty bad. I think it's about time i got rid of some clothes... ones i don't wear. Give them away. And the ones i still want yet don't wear at the moment.. need to go into the storage place rob got for the stuff we couldn't bring here. If i just store them somewhere here i would eventually get into them to see what's there. And then there would be a huge mess again. I think that's what I'll do tonight. Actually, maybe tomorrow because we're putting the tree up tonight.. i think.
     
    I've been reading a lot lately. I've read two books already in i think.. 3 weeks. I read while i wait for Declan to fall asleep, during his naps, and a bit before i fall asleep. I guess it's not that much, but it's the most i've read  i think ever. Rob's mom has tons of books to choose from. So far I've found an author i enjoy and i'm going to read the 4 or 5 books that she has by her. I find myself waiting for the next chance to read, and i can only finish the book if i really like it. It's just reading.. but it's nice to have something to look forward to on a daily bases.
     
    Why can't i go to bed at a decent hour? I take Declan to bed between nine and nine - thirty... i stay in the room with him until he falls asleep (which is a habit i'm going to try to break soon). I put his food on him (because he's still on it during the night, but not during the day:). Then i clean up any mess we've made in the kitchen. About 10 i go downstairs... and i usually stay up until midnight. If i went to bed any earlier, i would pretty much have absolutely no time to myself all day long. So i guess i don't know why i'm writing this because there's no way i'm going to change the routine lol... anyways...
     
    So Christmas is this Sunday. I'm pretty excited. I can't wait to see Declan open his gifts. Hopefully this year he knows that if he rips the paper there is a fun toy (or clothes or whatever else it is lol) is inside. We got him some great stuff. And i just can't wail until he can use them. I'm going to take ots of pictures of course:) There are still things we want to pick up for him.. but we're not going to until after Christmas.. for the Boxing day sales.
     
    Why do they call them "Boxing Day Sales"? I don't even think stores are really open boxing day are they? And they last for a week or so.. it's kind of annoying. But i guess i've heard some places call them boxing week sales.. which is okay lol.
     
    Well i think that's about all I'm going to write for now.. Hope you're having a good one!

    Haha.. what a coinkydink.. i'm reading a book right now by Patricia Cornwell lol


     

    Author Slams Cruise's Stance on Psychiatry

     Hollywood star Tom Cruise has come under attack from best-selling author Patricia Cornwell - she believes his controversial stance on psychiatry is putting lives at risk. The American crime novelist is convinced Cruise's outspoken support of Scientology could cause a catastrophe when one of his young fans decides to follow his advice and refuse to take their medication. Scientology preaches mental illness is imaginary and psychiatric drugs are only prescribed to suppress people. Cornwell says, "There are misconceptions about psychology, especially when people out there like Tom Cruise says there's no evidence of chemical imbalance and psychiatric disorders. There's going to be some girl or boy who worships this megastar, who decides, 'I'm not going to take my anti-depressants because Tom Cruise said I don't need drugs.'" War Of The Worlds star Cruise became embroiled in a heated exchange with actress Brooke Shields earlier this year, after he criticized her for taking anti-depressants when she was diagnosed with post-partum depression.

    So it's almost Christmas. Just a few days to go. This year, things are different. This year Christmas is being spent at Declan's Nannie's. Well, seeing we are living here now... it's ony appropriate lol. Since we've moved in, Declan has grown leaps and bonds. He is no longer fed through his tube during the day. He eats regular food and he's finally able to drink (and keep it in his mouth lol). It's amazing how well he is doing. His favorite room in the house is the kitchen, and would spend all day in there if i let him. He loves playing with the 'Lazy Susan', rearanging the groceries inside. And of course, opening the cupboards and taking out and puting back pots and pans, and mixing bowls.
      During the night however, we still need to give Declan formula through his feeding tube. A couple of weeks ago, Declan saw a plastic surgeon so he could check to make sure his palet was healed, which it was. He mentioned we shoud try taking him off the pump, and since at that time Declan wasn't able to drink, the dr said that when Declan got thirsty, he would learn to drink. Well, that Friday we took him off his food.. however at night i wasn't comfortable taking him off completely.. so i just put him on water. Well the next morning was the scariest yet. Declan looked as if (what we've been told) sounded like a diebetic shock. He had several of the symptoms. A couple of days later though, after explining it to his peadiatrician, he said that since Declan has been tube fed since birth.. the formula is "like crack" to his body (the dr's words). Which makes sense.. His body is so used to getting food all the time.. that going 8 or more hours without just makes his body shut down. Anyways.. he was fine by the next day.. and after the new year we will see his dr and make a plan to ween him off the pump at night. Meanwhile.. it's sooooo great to be able to feed Declan and give him juice/milk/etc. Today i gave him chocolate milk and he LOVED it.. his favorite tho i think is strawberry milkshake :) mmmm...
     I can't wait until Christmas morning... actually, i can't wait to wrap Declan's christmas gifts first..I love wrapping. It's relaxing and i love trying to make the parcels pretty.. not that he will care lol. Hopefully this year he'll know that once he unwraps it.. there will be a fun toy inside for him.. or whatever is in there lol.
     
    Well... i better get goin'. i think declan is waking up from his nap (i'm downstairs with a baby moniter). Hope all is well with everything and you're having a wonderful holiday season...
     
    Bye for now

    Long Quote

            As we grow up, we learn that even the one person that
              wasn't supposed to ever let you down probably will.
              You will have your heart broken probably more than
              once and it's harder every time. You'll break hearts
              too, so remember how it felt when yours was broken.
              You'll fight with your best friend. You'll blame a new
              love for things an old one did. You'll cry because
              time is passing too fast, and you'll eventually lose
              someone you love. So take too many pictures, laugh too
              much, and love like you've never been hurt because
              every sixty seconds you spend upset is a minute of
              happiness you'll never get back.

    Christmas Tradition

    200px-WonderfulLife.jpg
     
     
    I love the movie It's a Wonderful Life. I don't know why.. but it's become my own Christmas tradition. I try to watch it every year, but the last few years I've missed it. It used to be on a few times  before Christmas, because in the 1970's the rights weren't renewed, making it one of the cheapest Christmas specials to air. Now NBC has exclusive rights to it, meaning they are the only ones who can air it, and for the past few years it has only been aired once. Also, for whatever reason, it's been on in the middle of November. Anyways.. I've been meaning to purchse it but just seems i only think of it around Christmas time, and i just don't have the money to buy it. Well, this year i am prepared. It's on this Saturday night! Finally.. in December! lol I haven't seen it in about 3 years so I'm pretty excited to finally see it again.

    Lyrics:

    Deck the halls with boughts of holly
    It's the season to be jolly
    And be thankful for all that we have
    All the lights and decorations
    Put up in anticipation
    Of the joyful celebration
    That's on its way
    (We're) counting the days
    'Til it's time for Christmas day

    Oh and God bless us everyone
    The good and the bad
    The happy; the sad
    Oh and God bless us everyone
    Here's to family and friends
    It's good to be here again

    On the streets there's children laughing
    People smile as they are passing
    Christmas time is here, our waiting is done
    Wishing it could last forever
    Not just twelve days in December
    Through the year let's try to remember
    That special way
    That everyone feels
    It's the magic of Christmas day

    Oh and God bless us everyone
    The good and the bad
    The happy; the sad
    Oh and God bless us everyone
    Here's to family and friends
    It's good to be here again
    So fill your heart with love and joy
    And through the eyes of girls and boys
    Share their wonder, live through their joy
    It's easy to do, just open your heart
    The spirit will come to you
    Oh and God bless us everyone
    The good and the bad
    The happy; the sad
    Oh and God bless us everyone
    Here's to family and friends
    It's good to be here again

    Adaptation

     
    (Holy crap.. i didn't freakin' write this.. i just thought it was silly! For crap's sakes. I'm not predjudice or have anything against immigrants.. it's just silly we have to Now change stuff like how we say Merry Christmas and by not letting our national song and motto be displayed where others can see it and where they might be  "offended by it". ...SHEESH! Holy crap.. you see something you don't agree with and you automaticaly attack the person who posts it? You must not have read it very well because if you did, you would have seen that the post has very HIGH respect for the ppl who founded this country.
    Yes, Canada was founded by people who came from somewhere else.. but this post is not talking about immigrants in general.. it talks about immigrants coming to the country Today to live with the people of canada and deciding that canadians should be adapting to their cultures because they don't feel comfortable with ours. You know this gives me an idea.. lets all move to (where it may be because me, being a "stupid house mom" doesn't know this stuff) and stop the praying on mats 50 times a day and closing down the shops at noon because why? Well it's not part of my culture so they should adapt to me! (note the sarcasm).
     
     And yeap.. i do like coming on my space and complaining about life.. and I never claimed to be smart.
     
    LoL 
     
     I got this as an e-mail :
     
    This may not be the best view but I know I feel this way at times.  I feel funny when I say I hope I don't offend anyone by it.
     
     
     
     
     
     
    Will we still be the Country of choice and still be Canada if we continue to make the changes forced on us by the people from other countries that came to live in Canada because it is the Country of Choice??????

    Think about it!

    All we have to say is, when will they do something about MY RIGHTS?



    I celebrate Christmas...........but because it isn't celebrated by everyone..............we can no longer say Merry Christmas. Now it has to be Season's Greetings.


    It's not Christmas vacation, it's Winter Break. Isn't it amazing how this winter break ALWAYS occurs over the Christmas holiday?


    We've gone so far the other way, bent over backwards to not offend anyone, that I am now being offended. But it seems that no one has a problem with that.

    This says it all !
    This is an editorial written by a Toronto newspaper.  
    He did quite a job; didn't he? Read on, please!

    IMMIGRANTS,

    NOT Canadians

    MUST ADAPT.

    I am tired of this nation worrying about whether we
    are offending some individual or their culture. Since the terrorist attacks on Sept. 11,
    we have experienced a surge in patriotism by the majority
    of Canadians. However...... the dust from the attacks had
    barely settled when the "politically correct! " crowd began complaining about
    the possibility that our patriotism was offending others.

    I am not against immigration, nor do I hold a grudge against anyone who is seeking a better life by coming to Canada
    Our population is almost entirely made up of descendants of immigrants.
    However, there
    are a few things that those who have recently come to
    our country, and apparently some born here, need to understand.

    This idea of Canada being a multicultural community
    has served only to dilute our sovereignty and our national identity.  
    As Canadians.......
    we have our own culture, our own society, our own language and our own lifestyle. This culture has been developed over centuries of struggles, trials, and victories by millions of men and women who have sought freedom.



    We speak ENGLISH/FRENCH, not Spanish, Portuguese, Arabic, Chinese, Japanese, Russian, or any other language.
    Therefore, if you wish to become part of our society, learn the language! 

    "We Stand On Guard For Thee" is our national motto. This is not some Christian, right wing, political slogan.. We adopted this motto because Christian men and women.......on Christian principles.............

    founded this nation..... and this is clearly documented.

    It is certainly appropriate to display it on the walls of our schools.
    If God offends you, then I suggest you consider another part of the world as
    your new home.........because

    God is part of our culture.


    We are happy with our culture and have no desire to change, and we really
    don't care how you did things where you came from.
    This is OUR COUNTRY, our land, and our lifestyle.
    But once you are done complaining....... whining...... and griping....... about our flag.......
    our pledge...... our national motto........or our way of life....
    I highly encourage you to take advantage of one other Great Canadian Freedom.......

    THE RIGHT TO LEAVE.
