Peaces of me...


1/01/2006
New Years was so bloody cold, burrrr. I know it was a Curling Rink but I doubt they had any heating there. They had a huge fireplace but it want’ in use. I had a long coat on that I had bought earlier today, I must have been psychic since I needed it wrapped around me all night. Ride Command centre was camped outside the rink, trapping the traffic since it is hard to spot under the bridge. They gave us all Swaks... mine is tied like a choker around my neck, I'll need scissors to cut it off.
Nadia Stacy and their boyfriends begged off their party plans and drank at home. April and Monica went to a neighbourhood party a few houses down.

Brent borrowed my van to go to a party in Peterborough. He was only one of 5 people who bothered to show up for the party.

We are dropping off our van so we don't have to worry about driving. Didn't know half the people we were with. But the guy who killed himself last month, his wife was with us for dinner... she has a new guy in her life...she does deserve it, she has been through so much. He is a nice guy.

I am the only woman in a dress, hate pantyhose usually wear the garter bit but I had a run so ...I recommend that if you ever dress in woman’s underwear that you go straight to the stockings forget pantyhose.

So off we go, Happy New Year!

"To the store"
Nadia ended up going 2 hours out of her way to go "to the store" last night, they drove all the way to Kingston. They got home at 4am.

Drunken Detector
Brent tried the door combination at 3am but he couldn't figure it out. Best lock combination ever! If someone is drunk they cannot open it! He was with the boys, which is preferable to him spending too much time with TJ right now. Brent went Bar Hopping last night, which is a rare occurrence since he only has only recently had the finances.


Snow
Caesar still likes to bulldoze his body headfirst through the snow. He had a bark fest in the first park and 4 dogs in he second park left their masters to search him out. James said that there were too many dogs at the park today. A bull dog was there and when the husky a bull dog started to fight Caesar came right back to James, and meekly sat right beside him. He was completely unnerved.


Sickos
Two kids are very frustrated with us right now. They are sick and they still want to do their thing but I won't let them go to the Craft Sale at the school. Monica is supposed to be working it with her friends but she is just get everyone else sick. April is to baby sit tonight but she is still full of cold. If they are stuck she will go but...


Show me the Money
Brent went to work for 4 hours today in order to get his commission but had luck at all. For some strange reason, maybe because it is the first day of snow, they had hardly any sales so he doesn't get his commission again- it doesn't sound right to me. He works so hard for minimum wage. I wish we had bought all the Christmas gifts that we intend to buy from him so that he could have got his commission. James joked that he would even let Brad give us the $20 or so that we would have saved with his employee discount.

Hey Mommy!
It may be my sickness that made me write this... But I hope you enjoy it! bye bye!
Luv~!~*~!~*~!~*~April Edwards!

Hey Mom! I know I haven't let you in my life a lot... So here's a little preview! Hope you like it! I love ya!

My School Life
All my public school years, I acted like I was the coolest person there, I knew I wasn't... I always knew I had more friends then pretty much everybody... But there was always someone standing all over me, making sure I wasn't on top. At first, it was Lauren... The cute, preppy girl... Then there was Randi, the goody-goody... Then there was Carling, she thought she was SOO good! And there was Tori... Maybe my biggest competition. She was smart, pretty, athletic, and always hung out with all the guys! Then there was Erin, acted as if she were my best friend, then tells everyone else I'm not. And still today, Chelsea. Chelsea is truly indescribable, a huge flirt, a stealer of every guy I ever liked, sporty, always hung out with the popular people-to be thought of as cool. Every time I had something good happen to me, she would just blow it off and say something even BETTER then what I did.

Now that I'm in high school, I choose who I hang out with. I may not be the most popular girl, but now I don't have to be the best. I can just be myself and hope that the people I chose will accept me for who I am. And so far, I hang out with a group that lets me be me, and a little of them too! Vanessa, Krista, Michelle, and Jesse have been the best friends I could ever hope for. When I'm with them, they don't expect some goody goody or preppy. They expect ME! April! And being accepted after all these years, is the best feeling in the whole world!

Brent stayed at TJ's tonight. They are back together but he doesn't seem to be in a hurry to bring his TV and computer back to her house.

Best Made Plans
April's plans with her new set of friends sounded dark ans sinister. We asked for the phone number but she wouldn't or couldn't provide it. I told her that we needed to speak to her mom. The girl wants to walk home then go the opposite direction to the bank which would take over an hour, then go back home, then go to the city. I figure that they would be in a bus or train for almost 4 hours. It sounds like they just don't want us to know where they are so I said no. I just don't feel comfortable with the details.

Caesar run ragged chasing the fastest dogs and catching him.

Stacy finally went out tonight. Jodi phoned around 8 and she went tree shoe hunting and to Jodi's for a movie.

Monica spent the whole evening over at Cory's, came home with a sore throat.

Nadia and Derrick and her hommies went "to the store" and told us not to expect then until very late.

Night Moves
Fell asleep early last night so I guess somehow Nadia felt comfortable waking me up at 4:30am to use my computer. I said no but I found myself staring at the ceiling anyway, so here I am. At that point TJ asked Brent to help her out with her computer since he took his home she doesn't have a working one. She had been using my monitor and she needed a video card or something so Brent provided her with one. He told us that he would walk home but we insisted that he phone us. Normally I am a light sleeper and would know if he came home. My curiosity got the best of me so I tip toed to his room and was sad to see it was empty but it is his choice.

He knew that she needs constant attention and her history, I am surprised that he stayed with her this long. Brent trusts people but when he finally gets to the point where he has had it, he has a long memory and tends to hold grudges. I heard what I thought was Caesar being sick so I ran downstairs and found Brent asleep on the chesterfield. Thank you.

Monica Cody 2 Years
Monica had her 2nd anniversary with Cory today-imagine 13 years old with a long term relationship. She opened her locker to a cascade of balloons a vase with 2 white roses, a teddy bear, a gold heart shaped ring, and a pillow with Cory's picture and a note that she was to read after school. Nice.

She gave him a coke classic cookie jar filled with candies and a vanilla coke, she hates it and she never wants him to buy it because she likes sharing his drink. She got him a double picture with 2 recordings too. A lot for 13 year olds. Now what do they do for Christmas?

Domestication
Nadia and Derrick went grocery shopping for me and Derrick cooked supper. I love it!

Together Again
Well that was quick! TJ is in Brent's life again, not that she really left. She phoned, again, and they talked for a while. I agreed to drive him there so we could have a chance to talk about TJ. I told him that he was always a nice person and that I didn't want him getting dragged down into the physical fighting like her last 2 boyfriends did.

He said "Mom, I am not the kind of guy that would hit a girl."

"Ok Brent you can take it that way but I meant, don't let her put you in the situation that you will be defending yourself against other guys like her old boyfriends."

I potty train, she pot trains!
When I picked him up for the drive home I asked if they were working it out and he was trying to tell me and then he just said, "I'm really stoned right now, mom." Great, why does he smoke that shit when he is with her? Never mind I already know the answer. They smoked it right in her basement with her parents upstairs! How could they not smell it? Why couldn't I smell it until he mentioned it? He munched down all the goodies I had in my car and to take the edge off my frustration I double-talked my son until he was in a state of total confusion.

Fire trap
Stacy stood her grounds in an attempmt to track down the smell of smoke that only she could smell. A light in her room had been knocked over against a pair of pants. When she searched her room she moved the pants and as she did the cloth ignited in her hands. We were very lucky. This weekend everyone stays home until all the rooms are clean.

Reconciling?
TJ phoned last night late so I wonder if they have come to any terms. It was so good to have Brent with us while we experienced a new restaurant...Joe Alfreido's. The food and family was perfect. We got a kick out of the Dino bones and Fred Flintstones buffalo ribs.

Tonight we had a busy house. It is hard to get a hold of a computer around here right now, even though we have 4, they are all tied up with homework and projects.

Mud bowl
Caesar ran with the pack today and while every onther dog ran past the mud bowl ceasar ran right into it and sat down, everyone groaned as he came back and whipped his body againt the other white dogs. Zak joined Caesar in the mud but rolled through it.

Trouble in Paradise
Brent marched out of TJ's house with his TV, it has been in for repairs earlier so I thought nothing of it. When he brought out his monitor I knew something was wrong. Yes Brent and TJ have split up. I asked only a few guarded questions that I was already sure of the answers. Are you upset about this? Did you end it? He went home, deposited his computer and TV in the living room and then went to his room for a couple hours.

Strange but the kids barely asked questions, only Nadia asked what all the clutter was in the living room. Life goes on for everyone else, with not a thought of what is going on in someone else's life. I am starting to believe Nadia when she talks of the 'Turkey drop', a phenomena that occurs between the Canadian and American Thanksgiving more College age kids break up than any other time.

Brent phoned James and I and asked for food and we got what ever he wanted. James asked him a few questions and what we always believed to be happening was confirmed. He can't deal with dishonestly and she has been telling him that she was meeting up with friends but in fact was meeting up with her old boyfriend. It is hard to believe that she had the time to see him because Brent and her are together so much but he has had regular work hours so I guess she gets restless very easily. So James did what any good parent would. We sat down with him and got him feeling no pain. He needed the outlet and he seemed in great spirits later on in the evening if you can pardon the pun!

I hate to see Brent hurt though. I am sure he thought a lot of her to stay as long as he did amongst the constant rumours of her infidelity. He is a nice guy so I hope he doesn't get a hard shell because of this.
