ugh... Morning sickness

Well, I was a bit worried that I didn 't have any sign of morning sickness. And than, I woke up one day and I was sick. I've got the all day sickness too. I'm on dicletin, but they don't seem to work very well. I have a doctors appointment on Tuesday. Hopefully my blood will be checked for low iron. I'm extremely tired now too.
I'm almost 9 weeks now..so about a month left of this crazy stuff.

Another one of my fave pics.

Garrett managed to pull Mason over a couple of times. I think this was the time when both of them started to cry.

Got some good news

Mason's going to be a big brother!! I'm pregnant. About a month along.
And guess when the baby is due?? March 14th, on Mason's 2nd birthday. Kinda freaky huh? We're all excited here.
I did manage to get a doctor to take me on as a patient during my pregnancy. I do not see her until I'm 10 weeks.

Went to a concert

On Friday, I went to see Theory of a Deadman at Stages here in Kingston. It was a good show. Two bands opened for them. The first band was called "Suface Rising" I think they're a local new band. I didn't care for them. Their method of singing was, well, screaming. The second band was called "Hurst" The lead singer used to be in Econoline Crush. I was a big fan of them back in the day so I was happy to hear him.
Stages used to be a theater. We had a great view of the stage, and I didn't want to leave where we were to go to the washroom. They washrooms were upstairs. So, I had to rush home aftewards.
I got a drink spilled on my foot by a drunk lady! She also kept pushing into us and was leaning on my friend John. I don't think he mind tho haha.
I don't think I'll go to a concert there again though. My ears are still ringing.

How nice...

I had to do a course at work, to get me "introduced to customs" Pretty basic stuff, but it was a good refresher. Anyways, I recieved 98% on my exam, and thought nothing more of it. On Monday, head office sent me a card, a certificate and a PBB t-shirt. My manager told me not to tell the other staff because they didn't recieve anything when they wrote the exams. This is a new proccess management is implementing to boost morale.
I'm now doing another course which is more in-depth, but again a good refresher.

We're being invaded!

My mom noticed what she thought to be specks of bread crumbs, which turned out to be tonnes of ants on the kitchen counter and cupboard!! I called housing
authority to advise of the situation and to see what we needed to do about them. They're called "Thief Ants", and we just have to spray raid. We had to throw out all the cupboard food for fear ants making their way into them. I don't know yet where they are coming from, but I think they're crawling up the front wall and into the window.
GROSS

Weekend in Sarnia

I ventured out to Sarnia on Thursday, accompanied by my mother and Mason. Traffic was great all the way to Brantford where I stayed with Grant's Grandparents. I was a little nervous driving on the QEW, but I managed. The fireworks on Canada Day in Sarnia were really good!! It was a cold night tho.
Mason and Garrett played together on Saturday night. Mason has the advantage of being able to walk, so he'd go full force at Garrett and bowl him over. Mason also ran full force under the stairs and into the cat litter!!!
On Sunday , right after I filled up with gas I noticed orange stuff leaking under my car. I drove back to Val and Wayne's and Wayne opened the trunk. Lo and behold, the water pump was broken and was spraying coolant everywhere. I did get the car fixed, and left around 6pm to get back to Kingston.
All in all, it was a great weekend!

What do you see me doing???

What do you see me doing as a career ?
There are many things that I'm interested in, but I'm not able to make a decision at all. So, any suggestion on what you think you can me doing would be helpful!!!

Leeroy Jenkins

Alright, let's do this. LEEROOOOOY nnggg-JENKIIIINS!!!!!

Mason's enjoying his picnic table.

Work

Work is going really well. This past Friday was really busy. One co-worker had the day off so we were down a person. I'm not looking foward to the summer vacations when we're down a person for a week or two at a time.
Salaries are being amended, whohooo. I know at the end of my three month probation, I get a raise if I did well. I guess PBB is known as the lowest paying broker, and upper management said that by the end of June, that will change. So this upcoming raise might be substantial!
Again, I'm rethinking my choice of career. I know I go through this train of though often, but I seriously am up in the air. I can't afford to go to school just yet and I'm not even sure what I'd go to school for. I know I don't want to work at a broker, just be a worker bee and input date into the computer for the rest of my life.

If I hear this one more time...

I'm going to go crazy. Grant plays World of Warcraft, and I guess one of his friends showed him a website that had some sound bits from the game. A guild was planning a big attack on some enemies, and even had people crunching numbers to see the probability of survival. Anyways, outta nowhere, this one player comes in, yells' LEEROY JENKINS, LETS DO IT!!" and than they go attack. I don't remember what else is said, but Grant absolutley loves that saying. So , he plays it every frigging chance he gets. I even think it's on the computer when we boot up. It was funny the first time I saw it, but after 100 times, No way.
I don't mind World of Warcraft. I play sometimes for about 30 mins. I'm a night elf priest, so I don't kill things, I heal. I just usually go on to talk with other ppl.

Too many regulations.

The regulations for crossing into the States are getting stricter each day. I know there was talk about having a passport to get into the States. And now, commerical shipments HAVE to be set up electronically before the truck gets to the border. They were issuing fines for not having them set up before the trucker gets there, something like 5 grand for the first infraction. They've since done away with that, but they're turning away drivers if they don't have their shipment in the system.
That makes it hard for small businesses that need to bring something down to the states. They have to declare it as commerical goods, and than they need to go through the trouble of getting a broker, getting barcodes to be able to put their shipment into customs computer shipments.
And Canada is going to be like this as well. Canada customs was supposed to implement this in spring of this year, but have postponed it until next fall. Thank goodness. What a mess this is going to be.

What I'm Reading

I've finished off The Hounds of Baskerville, as well as the Red Headed League.
I really do like Sherlock Holmes books. I'm still reading "Torment of Others"
After that, I'd like to read Lovely Bones by Alice Sebold. There's also a book called Border Guards, and it's written by someone from Kingston area and the book is set in the Thousand islands.

Mason's passed out. This is on the way home from Connor's baptism. What were they giving him at the Church nursery?? Spiked holy water.
