Spring Is Here

In case you're wondering this video is sings about how spring is here. And the favorite pass time of poisoning pidgeons in the park. It just makes me laugh!
The ice is melting and I can hear the birds tweeting, so it is definitely a good sign. I thought that winter would never leave and just stay forever! I am glad to not have to bundle up in layers of clothes the last 2 days here in Edmonton. I can actually take Aaliyah out for a walk before bed and not have to worry if I had layered her up enough, or if I over layered her to suffocation.
My work week is over and have been suffering with this really bad burning type stomach ache and was miraculously healed! I asked my mother to pray for me over the phone, which she did and after she was down praying and I said good bye, the burning pain was gone. Thank you Lord!
I believe my feeling better is coming at a good time, because now that I am feeling better I am thinking of going out for a walk with Aaliyah and have been wanting to, but due to my off and on stomach burning thing going on it has been stopping me.
So, I got some chicken cooking in the oven for Aaliyah, Dad and myself. Once it is cooked and I finish eating I am going to go for a little walk. It will be nice to see sidewalks instead of ice and snow.
Well while I still have time before supper I am going to go read for now.
Hopefully this walk will be a start of a new beginning from myself being healed.

Quick Venting Post

Should I write something? Hmmm I not too sure if I will even post this and might just save this on draft since I am hardly awake and only had a sip of my morning cup. Now that we have been on the phone for three weeks the pressure is on. Our boss actually ragged the three of us telemarketers out for not have three sales a day done. Hello? News flash (insert swear word here) you're a new painting company which no one has even heard of and people don't want to make appointments over the phone with someone they are not too sure of about their painting for their business. It takes time to build up a reputation you Ukrainian old grump!
There I got that off my chest, so in case you're wondering yes my boss if officially the ultimate rude ass. It is easy to work at a call center that is huge in which the owner of the program you're on is most likely never going to be there. But working for a company just starting out when they pretty much swear at you and chastise you like a child it is a pain in the bum. Especially having your boss hovering over shoulders checking to make sure that you're doing you're job.
Thank God that we get Friday off due to easter. I need an extra day on my weekend, because I don't feel rested up enough when I get back to work on Monday. I really hate my job more so, because I am tired of telemarketing, but price is right for me for now. If I had it my way, I'd be in a hair school academy taking that. Which is something I have always wanted more than anything anyways. Well, I best be on my way. I need to drink my coffee, because my father is going to be here soon to pick me up and take me to work. Thank God for my dad he doesn't want to see me waiting in the cold catching the train.

Sick Day Today

Home today! Not so fun really it isn't a day off or anything. My wee one is sick and I had to stay home from work to take care of her. I hope that she will be better for tomorrow. I can't lose too many days of work. My boss seemed okay with everyone when I called and said my kid was sick. Besides, he was okay with my co-worker when she had to stay home with her wee one two weeks ago on Friday.
My poor little one is so sick though. Just looking at her makes me want to cry. She is so stuffed up and mouth wide open just to breath. Her nose is running with slimy little snots. Thank God for medicine though! It does take the clogged nose away for a couple of hours.
I just feel useless right now! All I can do is cuddle her and give her medicine. My being home with her is not working by any means. I wish I was the cure for her, because nothing makes me more sad than watching her struggle to breath.
Well I best be on my way for now. I got to get another dose of medicine into her system. Then call my landlord to come and fix my hot water knob from my kitchen sink. Water was squirting and spraying everywhere's last night.
Have a good day to you all, and here's to hoping that by my next post that my wee one is better.

``1 My Kid and Myself.

Just sitting here with Aaliyah on my knee while she watches leap frog on netflix, as I write here. To be honest I don't have anything interesting to write about, but this is what I wanted to do right now. Is write on here.
Aaliyah has a cold right now, so it looks like I might have to call in and not go to work today, because they won't have her at day care as sick as she is. I am feeling under the weather anyways, so at least I can take a sick day and not be lying about it.
I come on blogger a lot! Mainly to see if a fellow writer friend of mine has posted anything lately. He is the one whom I will mention here and there in some of my posts. His latest post says, that once he hits 100 posts, that he may reveal what he is writing about and a possible excerpt from it! I am kind of excited, because he has shared with me two chapters already and his writing is just captivating. He writes so beautifully.
I am just checking every hour on the hour all weekend, just hoping he'll post 10 more posts in one day, because he is at the early 90's mark of his posts. Just so I can read his 100th post.
Well I can't write no more, because my kid is crawling all over me and keeping me from typing now. And she keeps making attempts at typing on the keyboard herself. LOL.
bn v vbvb........ <------- That was her. Thought at least if she is doing it and actually did hit something than I might as well share with you all. I guess she wants to be heard too!!
I am out for now, as for Dave, keep on posting I am anticipating your 100th post!

Aaliyah took the responsibility of putting the quotation mark and number 1 in my title in case you're wondering.

TGIF-Quick Post

YAY, I have been dreading everyday of work this week. And extremely angry feeling upon waking up before the sun rises in the morning just to be to work. For some reason it does not feel right. Plus, what wakes us up to begin with is the sun. I don't quite remember what it is in the sun that does it, but all I know is that is what wakes us up.
And to be up before the sun is hard. I go through a cup of coffee at home, then arrive at work go to the lunch room and put on a pot for the whole lot of coffee drinkers. And drink about half the pot and leave some for the two others that drink coffee and it still isn't enough to wake me.
So, now that is is friday I am so excited. I also don't have to keep saying every morning before I head to work to my father 'I don't want to go, I am too tired.'.... It was getting to the point my father could call when I was about to say it, the same few words every morning, but in a making of sort of mocking tone and then laugh at me then say 'yeah yeah, you say that every morning.'
So, for now I am going to drink the cup I have right now and then head off for work. Thank God for fridays really, because it is dress down day at work so into a pair of jeans I go!
Have a good day everyone! I know I will.

Venting and Ranting

It has certainly been a while since I have wrote on here. I have recently started a new job. So, my attention even on my days off go entirely to my husband and wee one. I feel bad for not being about to write and talk about my day. To be honest when it comes to my work. There is not a thing worth talking about. I am a telemarketer for a new company starting up and no one would care to read about that. As a lot of people don't like being bugged from us as it is anyways.
All I can say for now is, I am starting to not like it. I know I might have mention during my week of training that I was enjoying myself, but to be honest, when I was a little girl growing up. I have never dreamt that when I grew that I wanted to be a telemarketer. I always wanted to be a beautician. Take all the courses from hair, cosmetology, nails etc. And also take a business course and open up my own shop in my name. I always wanted to be known as Ashley Morin. That would be my shop.
I just don't have the time to go to do all the schooling I need now that I have my little one. I need a job paying decent money an hour to afford paying off the bills.
I do not regret having my daughter by any means.I just wish I waited, so that I was well off and able to bring her up according to how I always wanted to bring up any child I ever will have. I fill like I am depriving her from everything from not going to school. Not graduating. Being a high school drop out gets you no where's. That's for sure!
All I can do is pray and hope that she does not follow in my foot steps and when I tell her at an appropriate age of my mistakes that she doesn't hold it against me when she decides that because she is having a bad day that she wants to quit school. And when I scold her for it, I just hope she doesn't pull the whole 'well you quit school, so why can't I' saying.
I already been through this with my younger brother and he kept saying that all the time to my parents about me quitting school. I was not much of a role model for him, which is sad and I want to be for him and my daughter.
So, yes this all boils down to me not liking my job and the best thing to do is for me to wait until Aaliyah completes high school, then I will go to take all those beauty courses. It is never too late to start anything as long as you're living.
Sorry for my ranting and venting out on here. Have a good one.
Oh and if my friend Dave who is following me, if you are reading this please note that blogger is boring out your posts! I check regularly for updates from you.

Blast From The Past

I had a good giggle just a few moments ago, while browsing for my very top 20 first blogs I wrote. I can honestly say that 1), my writing sucked hard core back then, 2). I tried too hard to have the perfect blog post so I could have traffic (which I also had a button made for donations on paypal 'LAME') and 3). I am happy that I started blogging at all, because if you look at my very first few posts, you will see a big difference between my recent posts and my very firs posts. I have improved on my writing so much!
Although, I am no professional writer, nor do I have a major in english, spelling & grammar, but I will boast in the fact that I am a lot better now.
I have come a long way. Especially when considering the fact that back then I thought I was the best writer in the world back then. And I am sure as time flies to another year from now. My posts that I am so proud of now I will see the silly and lame things in them that I don't see now.
Since I am trying to improve my writing I must go for now. I actually have some ideas for my current book I am in the process of writing to jot down before I forget.
Happy blogging everyone!

Missing Memories

So I got thinking of the many people who I have lost along this journey in life and are no longer with us in this race. I miss all the wonderful memories that I have made with all of the beautiful souls that I had the chance to be friends with and I am feeling a little sad about all the loved ones.
So, what I am going to do in the following part of this particular blog is mention the names of the lost ones along with some lyrics to a song which relates to how I am feeling along with the youtube video to the lyrics.
To all the friends that I have lost along the way: Grampy Gerry Amero, Great Grampy Alfred Vail, Great Grammy Greta Vail, Grampy Ernest, Alicia Little, Jimmy Sheehan, Randy Trott Sr, Al Cannon, Conrad Sommers & Donnie Perry.
I miss you all so much! This following song with lyrics is for you all.

One Sweet Day Lyrics: (Please Read these lyrics, they are so touching)
Sorry, I've never told you, all I wanted to sayAnd now it's too late to hold you'Cause you've flown awaySo far away
Never had I imaginedLiving without your smileFeelin' and knowing you, hear meIt keeps me alive, alive
And I know you're shining down on me from HeavenLike so many friends we've lost along the wayAnd I know eventually we'll be togetherOne sweet dayEventually I'll see you in Heaven
Darling, I never showed youAssumed you'd always be thereI, I took your presence for grantedBut I always caredAnd I miss the love we shared
I know you're shining down on me from HeavenLike so many friends we've lost along the wayAnd I know eventually we'll be togetherOne sweet dayPicture a little scene from Heaven
Although, the sun will never shine the sameI'll always look to a brighter dayYeah, Lord, I know, when I lay me down to sleepYou will always listen as I pray
And I know you're shining down on me from heavenLike so many friends we've lost along the wayAnd I know eventually we'll be togetherOne sweet day
And I know you're shining down on me from HeavenLike so many friends we've lost along the wayAnd I know eventually we'll be togetherOne sweet day
Sorry, I never told youAll I wanted to say

Hired Then Fired

Just to be clear I am not talking about myself in this post. I did not get fired. However, today my boss let go a guy for whatever reasons and mentioned it to us in the board room that he let this particular guy go. It is just so sad really, because we all just started this Monday and now Friday is here and he let him go. I don't know why. I feel like our boss made a decision too quickly even though I don't know the actual reason, I am sure whatever it was there could have been some way of reasoning with him instead of just letting someone go.
I am kind of sad that this guy is gone, because of the fact that we all are so very comfortable with each other. It took us up until yesterday to really get comfortable and I was really finding myself the most comfortable around the guy who was let go. He and I had a lot of things in common we liked watching the same things and we are both 'fatties' and loved out food so we talked about recipes and things and laughed about a lot and he was the life the party so to speak (while in the board room).
What kind of sets me off now is the fact that I am not too sure if my job even secure especially not knowing the reason behind my fellow co-worker being fired, who knows now? Am I next? I sure hope not.
Anyways next week is a new week and I sure hope that the firing had nothing to do with any of the things he talked about in the boardroom, because he was very opinionated in a lot of ways. I guess I will never really know as to why he was let go.
I am just some what fearing for my position at SuperPro now that maybe none of us are safe. Well it is the weekend now and I must unwind from all things work.
Have a good weekend to all you hard workers and may your weekend be eventful and fun!

A Post About A Fellow Writer

I did it!! YAY. I am so happy right now. I have a friend who is a writer and have kind of encouraged him to publish and showed him the site I used to self publish. From the time we have been talking about writing up until tonight, he has been hesitant of what his genre was and did not share any pieces of his work not even a sentence of his work until tonight.
We conversed through facebook chat and I shared with him where he could log onto a site where I had upload a novel I wrote which I am still working on. And by doing so I think he felt he could trust me enough to e-mail me the first two chapters of his book. Which are intriguing and delightful, but sad because his vision of what he wants the book to be now has changed some what and he won't be putting the first two chapters in that I have read due to reasons I do not have permission to disclose at this time.
However, if I ever have his full permission to discuss the genre in which he has chosen to write about and what all happens I will. All I can say is that I am glad to be one of the first to read it (well not one of the first to be correct, because from my understanding through his posts on blogger; he has his manager reading along and giving their input on it and such) so I am maybe the second or third or whatever, because I did not ask if he lets anyone else read his stuff besides his manager and myself.
So, until I know otherwise we will say I am about the 2nd or 3rd person to have the privilege of reading his work.
Dave is truly a talented writer and after reading his first 2 chapters, I was embarrassed of my own sloppy writing. If you want to keep updated on Dave and his progress with his book you can follow him on blogger at : Dave's Blog <<click me>> .
I hope that you all enjoy what you read on his blog. Well I must bow out for the night, because tomorrow is my first day of a new job and I need sleep. So good night to you all.

Pre-First Day Jitters

I am a day away from my first day of my new job. I start tomorrow and I got the scared feeling in my stomach like the first day of school feeling. Not because of it being my first day of work, but more so for my daughter and it being her first day of day care. She will be around new people and kids (which she is not yet use to), although thank God my cousin Melodie is the one who owns this day care and Aaliyah will be with family. Because I can't see myself putting Aaliyah in any other day care. I remember when my aunt Rita use to watch me for my parents when they use to work, back when we all lived in Oshawa Ontario and I use to get scared as soon as my parents would leave. I always thought they would not come back for me, but at the end of the day it was a relief when they would walk in the door after work to come pick me up. It is funny, because I knew they would come, but that fear always crept in when they left every day.
I just don't want my Aaliyah to feel the same way. I hope that she knows that we will not leave her ever. And hopefully she will notice the pattern of us coming back at the end of the day.
I am kind of sad that I had to get a job, because it will take away from my writting and my daughter, but a regular pay cheque is what we need right now more than anything.
Lets hope that by this time next year that we will have things in a nice orderly fashion.
