Halloweeen is here

Halloween has finally arrived. The boys are so excited. First they have their parties at school then they are going trick or treating tonight. My Aunt is taking them this year. I volunteered to stay home and do the shelling out to all the little trick or treaters. Although I hate the idea of missing my kids trick or treat I need the time to make their lunches for the next day and I have to make mine. Plus my Aunt may be a pain in my as but she does help us a lot and she really wants to take the kids this year. As an added bonus Oscar, my boyfriend, is going to come hand out candy with me. So I maybe missing out on Joseph song of " trick or treat, Smell my feet" but there are benefits to me staying home this year.
I think I will stop at the bargain shop and get flash lights for the boys. Or at least for Joseph. Kurtis has one and I know he will run ahead of his brother so they should have there own. I can't wait to see the kids all dressed up. Joseph is going to be a ninga and Kurtis is going as the character from scream. They both look so cool. I have a few pictures left on my camera so I going to get pictures before they go out.
I am the Queen of taking pictures when it comes to my kids. I take pictures of them on ordinary days just playing around. I have so many pictures from school and christmas. Every year I take them to walmart and get the christmas package, which is less then fifteen bucks. Yet there was a couple of tears that I managed to spend about $100 on pictures. Just because I could make up my mind what poses I like the best. So I got a few pictures of every pose. Now I have so many pictures in my room in my picture draw (that right folks a draw, not a box, not a photo album, although I have those too.) just doing nothing. I have pictures on my walls in my room and the living room. I just to display how cute my children are. I use the pictures to remind me of how good they can be, when they are not being good.
I am debatting on weither or not to dress up I think I should the kids love it when the adults dress up. i have a withes costume that would be very easy to put on. I guess it depends on how much time I have to spend helping the boys get ready. I think I am more excited then they are.
Well I should sign off, I am at work. Although I have nothing to do. At least typing up a blog post makes it look like I am working.

My Aunt is driving me nuts

Every weekend my Aunt says "WE" have to clean the house. Every weekend it seems that I am the only one doing any house work. When I was working part time at night I was the one that did all the cleaning which made sense. My Aunt works fulltime and was not at home as much as I was. Now I am working 9 untill 5, five days a week and still doing all the cleaning at home. The only thing my Aunt does is the grocery shopping, which I have to put them all away. This past weekend my Aunt says "sunday we will do the house work together after church. But of course when we got home from church my Aunt was so tired she needed to lie down. Then she went grocery shopping for three hours. At least she took my son with her so I could get some work done. Because yet again I was the only one cleaning the house. Not only does she not help but my Aunt complains about how I do everything including how I do my own laundry. On top of this it took me like twenty minutes to figure out where my sister had left my cd player. Put it back in my room when your done or at least not in the office where I never look. Just kidding Liz.
There is only so much one person can take before they finally snap.

So my sister is at my house on the weekends. Sometimes her boyfriend comes over. When he does they get alll sucky face with each other and they're so cute. It really could turn a persons stomach. Just kidding. I am happy for my sister and Matt. I know my sister deserves to have someone to love and Matt seems like a very nice guy. So all the best to Liz and Matt!
I am trying very hard to not make any spelling or grammar errors. Liz has mentioed that I tend to make a few. (Like her blogs are perfect). I don't know if a period after a bracket is proper grammar but whatever.
Oscar (my boyfriend) and I went out last friday. We went to the bar I used to work at. Oscar still works there. It may not sound like loads of fun to go to the bar I couldn't stand working at but we get free pool and there was an AC/DC tribute band playing. Plus we really didn't feel like going to an over crowded club or far from home. So this was the perfect night out. We had a few beers, played some pool and enjoyed the band. We also did a little catching up. That was the second time I have seen my boyfriend this month. He works nights in shifts of four days on, two days of. So most weekends he is working. It is really hard to co-ordinate our schedules for some quality time together. So when we do get together we tend to spend alot of time together. That night we left at 8 pm and didn't get home until 3am.
I had lunch with my cousin today. He is a bike messenger. So he told me how he ran into a car awhile back. He said the car was turning or something and neither him nor the driver was paying much attention. So there was a collision. Eric (my cousin) wasn't hurt much and continued to work for the rest of the day. I am not sure I could do that. I think if I went over the hood of a car I would be taking the rest of the day of. Eric says it takes a "special" kinda of people to be a bike messenger. I think he is right.
Okay I think this blog is long enough, so I will sign off now.

I was worried that I would have to take a day off work to take my son to the dentist. As it turns out my sister is able to take him. Thank goodness for sisters. I really didn't want to miss a day in the first three months of being here. How would it look?
My sister babysat the kids yesturday. They had a half day off of school. She was telling me that my youngest was being cranky. I think it is because they both are up way to late. I put them to bed at nine oclock, we read a story and then it is lights out by nine thirty. Most nights they are still talking up a storm at ten thirty. I can tell them to be quiet and go to sleep untill I am blue in the face. They just wait until they think I am out of ear shot. The only benefit to having an old house with walls as thin as paper, I hear everything my boys do and say. The boys have to be up at seven thirty in order to get ready for school. I don't understand how the have so much energy.

my new job is great

It is the end of the third week of my new job. I have completed three tasks. I have figured out the fancy phone . I am slowly settling in. I have learned alot. I totally love this job. The only down side is that I get paid only once a month. I guess that is something I will just have to get used to. I can't wait fopr my next task. It is kinda boring just answering the phone. My boss wants to send me to our cibc site to do data entry work. He said it is the same stuff I was doing for him. I am so excited but completely nervous. If this happens and I don't screw things up it is one more point for me to be hired permenantly.
The kids seem to like their baby sitter. She is our neighbor so that made it easier the kids, already new her. She is great with the kids. I haven't had any complaints yet. Lets hope it stays that way.
