Grr, my day is starting off on the negative foot. Gavin and Laura showed up 15 mins early. augh I was hoping to get my main floor bathroom cleaned in that time. Thankfully, they are being quiet. I have a feeling they didn't have any food before they left though. Actually, I'm probably irrationally ticked off at their mom for this. It may be kind of bad but last week, they didn't use any care. Because they are through the region and because I didn't take off the time, I still get paid (minimal) for them. That means their mom still has to pay me the subsidy. I was going to let it go but the region will deduct that from my pay meaning I'll be out $40. After them showing up early, this fuels my fire to get a backbone and remind her that I still need the subsidized pay for last week.

 

I also looked at the weather. Looks like we'll be getting a bunch of snow tonight. My friend, the one who cancelled on us for Christmas Eve, was supposed to be coming tomorrow morning for a visit. I can pretty much guarentee she won't now. I'm actually really hurt and totally ticked at how many times she's cancelled on me. It's not because I'm making the plans, she's the one that brings them up but something better comes up or she finds something little to cancel it for (yeah, I know the weather CAN be a factor but on Christmas Eve, it was because it was raining.) We've started making plans 2 years now for New Year's Eve. Last year, I thought we were still on until I heard her mention doing something with her friends 1.5 hrs away. And this year, she decided to go ahead with doing the no kids thing with small group. I don't know, am I supposed to just let this stuff slide and not let it affect me? I'm likely taking it too personally but geez, when someone keeps on cancelling plans that you've looked forward to, how else can I take it?! I like hanging out with her and I believe it's the same for her. I guess she just doesn't place as much importance. I'm very tempted to write an email saying something about tomorrow and wanting to know if I should count on her to come or not. I had asked about doing lunch with her and her kids after Gavin and Laura left but then I never heard back from her (email.)

 

Ok, enough venting, blabbing. Gotta get into the morning routine, minus getting ready for school. I have no clue what we're going to do today. I dont' want to have another day where we are stuck inside, only getting outside for 15 mins. But, there's no snow and it's too cold to play with bikes, etc so what do you do outside?! I was thinking of walking to a store this morning but that means spending money. Hmm, I think the girls' library books are due back today. Maybe we'll drive there (too far to walk.) Doesn't really give us outside time but we get out of the house and it's free!

 

So, I'll likely be around today, trying to work on some sort of list. TTYL!
