January.27th/14
Guess I'm slacking. Didn't really feel like doing anything yesterday, especially blogging. It's just been another draining week. Tomorrow will mark 2 weeks since we lost our beloved Daisy Mae, and although we all have moved on in our day to day lives, the pain still lingers of her not being around.
So last week........... Pretty laid back, didn't really do much. Besides go to school, but I do that anyways, which is where I'm at now. The week started kind of somber......... Pain still lingering, especially with Emma, b/c as much as Daisy was technically my moms, she really was Emma's dog. Anyways, I had tried so hard to go to mum & dad's and we just couldn't do it, with Adam working so much. So Tuesday, I got to leave school early, I went grocery shopping, had lunch with one of my friends, and went home. I made the decision to go to moms and get the wood split. We had a Blizzard warning in effect for Wednesday, so we wanted to make sure mom and dad had enough wood to go for the next little while. I went home, put away the groceries, and grabbed all of our stuff. Off to the school I go, and pick up the girls. We head out to Nana and Pops for an evening of wood splitting. The atmosphere was just weird. It was weird that I only had one dog to let outside.......... It was weird to only have the one dog to let run around the 20 acres with the kids. It was just a very weird feeling. So I tell Sweetums to go out for a pee, but he was soo full of excitement that we were there, that he didn't want to leave our side. After getting the girls homework done, I bundle up, and head out back to get the truck and set everything up to split wood. Nik came with me, b/c she's my country bumpkin, and loves being outside. Emma on the other hand, could be accounted for inside. She's not much of an outdoors-y girl in the winter time. Especially now. Anyway, head out back, and once Sweetums realizes I'm not going back in, he runs to the field, does his business, and then plays with Nik. They played so much she actually tired him out.
My dad came home around 4, and came out back to help split wood. It was great. We talked about the week and I vented to him about how I felt towards a certain person. And although I can't prove what they did, they KNOW they did what they did, and as a result, we have a dead dog. I know I'm being vague....... In a nut shell, my aunt across the road from my parents, kept bitching to my parents that the dogs are being neglected, which they weren't, but again, that's what happens when other people stick their nose in shit they don't know. So she phones the SPCA, or Humane Society as we call it, and has them come out and tell us that the dogs are not being cared for. They can't say who called unless they charge us, so my dad said as blunt as can be (wonder where I get it from?? LOL) either charge me or get the fuck off my property. Since then, the dogs have been in the house non-stop. They're Mountain dogs!! They LIVE for the snow!!! It's what they do!!! When it snows, they run out and roll in it. They have two coats of fur, so needless to say, they die of the heat being in a house that's pumping constant wood heat! They're just not the type of dogs you keep locked up in a house. They need to be outside!!! However, she didn't view things like that. She saw it as "Those poor puppies!!" We always have the dogs outside for the day, as we're not home, and then we have them in for the night. That wasn't good enough for that nose bag, no sir! I just know in my own heart that if she had of kept her speculations to herself, we would still have her. And I know there is a lot of "if's" floating around, and what's happened has happened, but it's just one of those feelings where you know you're right!
The morning of the accident, the driver of the truck went and asked my aunt if it was her dog. So she knew about it before us. And every Sunday they go to breakfast with my parents and other family members. Doesn't that prissy bitch not even offer a condolence to mom about the whole situation!?!?!? I was floored!! All I can say is I hope the guilt eats at her! I hope she realizes what she's done and keeps her nose where it belongs from now on.
*Sigh* Fuck I hate not having her around! So back to splitting wood! Dad and I split until almost 6pm, and just before the sun went down, I went to the back field, in behind an old run down barn. The barn has been there since my dad was a boy. (Dad lives in his childhood home FYI)! Behind the barn, and just into the woods a bit is a clearing. It's on a bit of a hill and if you turn and sit in front of the pine trees you can look out over the fields. It's a fantastic spot to watch the sunset! That's where you'll find our Daisy Mae. In front of the biggest pine and in a 3X3 square is a grave that sits nestled just underneath the tree. Here is where my dad laid her to rest. He placed her in the grave in such a way that she's looking out over the field and sunset. He told me that he figured "She would want to look out into the field where you could usually find her with Emma!" I sat down in front of it, and Sweetums by my side, laying over it perfectly. I rubbed his belly and watched as he closed his eyes. You could see the pain he felt of losing his sister. I began to sob uncontrollably. Sweetums lifts his head to see me cry, and nuzzles his head in to my side. I'm there for him, just as he's there for me. It was a beautiful moment for both of us. It's funny how, as I write that, I break into tears, because the pain still lingers so deeply. And you don't realize how painful it is until you speak of it.
When I reflect back on the last week, I realize that b/c of this accident, it's given my children insight to how life really works, and that at times life really isn't fair. However, you keep your head high, and try to truck on as best you can. I am a firm believer in that, God does not give you anything you can't handle. And although it sucks, and it hurts, and you wish for things to change, destiny always takes it's place.
Like the old song goes:
Que Sera Sera
Whatever will be will be
The future's not ours to see
Que Sera Sera
What will be will be
Till next time!

Remember how you felt today, because tomorrow's a new....
January.19,2014
Evening,
It is with a heavy heart that I write this post. We had a midweek-to end filled with sorrow. On Wednesday, Jan.15th, it was to be of a happy time, as my dad was turning 51. To get a feel for how things went, I feel like spewing it out in order, and how I should have picked up on something.... but didn't.
Anyways, so the kids and I have been traveling with Adam, as we've declared a DNR on my car. (For those of you who don't know, DNR stands for Do Not Resuscitate! LOL) Anyways, we're usually up and out the door for around 8, but on Wednesday Adam decided to sleep in and not go to work until 9. At 8:15, just as we were getting ready to head out the door to school, I say to the girls "Who's birthday is it today?", to which Emma and Nik respond with "POPPY!" In the joy of it all, I call him and put it on speaker phone thinking we're all going to yell HAPPY BIRTHDAY when he answered the phone. We let the phone ring for a solid 45 secs, and hang up. Anyone who is anyone that knows my dad, KNOWS he picks up on like the second ring. I should have known then, that it was the first clue that something was wrong. My dad should have been at work, and I knew he wasn't on the loader, as there is next to no snow now, and I knew he wasn't in the shop, b/c his phone didn't automatically jump to VM like it normally does. It's not that his phone is off in the shop, it's just that there is NO reception in there. Anyways, so we go to school, go about our day, and my mom texts me and says she's having everyone over for supper at 6. Normally this isn't an issue for me to drop plans and make new ones when it comes to mum n dad, however, we;re down to one vehicle and Adam had texted me 15 minutes earlier to say he may have to work a double. Anyway, I text mom back, tell her I don't know if the girls and I are gunna make it out, but I would let her know. When I get home from school, Adam tells me he doesn't have to work a double, and I was pumped!! That meant I got to use the truck to go to mumma and poppas!! I call mom and say "just so ya know, we're comin' out!" In a somber voice she said "Oh good, I'll see ya then". That to me, should have been clue number two. I had said to myself that she sounded like she was crying, but I didn't think much more of it and went about my couple hours at home. I go get dad a birthday card, some scratch tickets, coffee money, and a birthday boy pin! I get out to moms and only one of the dogs *They're both Great Pyrenees-Huskies, and brother&sister, same litter*, was in the porch. I said "oh where's Daisy", b/c she didn't come running to the truck when I pulled in. Then the girls started asking "Nana where's Daisy?" With the saddest of hearts I have ever seen my mom bare, she starts to cry and said "She's gone!'' I lost it. I asked her how?? How could this be?? Mom explained that my dad had let her out to go pee in the morning, she saw a fox, and chased after it. As she jumped out of the ditch, she got nailed by a truck.
Now to know these dogs, or the breed in general, you would know that they are the most gentle and obedient of their kind. My kids have dragged them around since they were puppies. The male, Sweetums, stands 6 ft tall when he puts his front paws on my chest. Daisy wasn't quite as tall, but what she lacked in height, she gained in width. These dogs have twenty acres of land to play on, which they have in the last 5 years. They have NEVER gone near the road, nor had they ever shown interest in it. So with her heavy heart mom said that the guy who hit her came banging at the door and couldn't apologize enough. Dad ran down to Daisy, and she was whimpering in his arms. He cradled her like a baby, told her how much of a good girl she was, and that she was ok, only to have her slip away into the world beyond.
Because It's been pretty balmy here, dad had to call my brother to help bury her. He didn't want to leave her to rot, and didn't want the coyotes at her so the faster it was done, the faster it was over with. He said in his 51 years, he's never had a pet die in his arms. I know all too well what that feeling is like. I had a pet rabbit named Thumper, and he died in my arms. I only have two pets that I was extremely close with, and one of them I don't speak of, b/c I resort to tears.
Needless to say, it was a shitty start to the mid-week, a shitty start to the day, and a shitty start to dad's 51st year. Daisy was my moms fur baby. She was my fur baby too!! She was also Emma's fur baby. It was hard for me to describe how it happened fast and that she's in a better place to my 9 y/o, b/c she's anything and everything like me; Soft. I cried with my mom, and told her I try so hard not to get attached to animals that don't technically belong to me, but when you have a fur baby, who has seen you go through it all in the last 5 years, it's hard not to. Emma wept for days. She said "But mommy! She was my best friend!" I cry at the sight of that quote. I cry as I type this whole ordeal. Daisy was our baby, whether we choose to believe it or not.
So a few days pass, and I call mom yesterday to check in and see how things are going. They also have two cats in the house, Baby-Red and Martin. Anyways, Sweetums was laying at moms feet yesterday and when Baby-Red walked by, his tail started wagging and he got all excited! Mom said it was like he was saying to the cat "Wanna be friends??" I had a great giggle from that. She then went on to tell me that he's really lonely. I knew he would be. He lost his sibling. Mom said, her voice cracking up, trembling " It breaks my heart when I go outside with him, because he goes out looking for her!" I couldn't help but cry with her, b/c my heart knows all too well about losing a dog so close. This is the first time I have ever heard my mom so heart broken over a pet. Daisy Mae really was her "Daughter".
In Honor of Dais, I came home after dad's birthday, and I sent off an 11X14 canvas to be printed with assorted pictures of Daisy, and of Daisy and the kids. When I get it back this week, I'll frame it and give it to mom. I feel like she needs this. I also sent off a picture of Emma and Dais to be printed, so that Emm could always have her by her side. All I know, is that one day, when it's my time to go, I pray that I meet her, and my other two fur babies on the other side.
Now that I've been emotional, and hopefully haven't set you into tears, I will leave you with this thought:
When you have a fur baby, and it's their time to go, do they ever really leave your side?

............... 67 Days and Counting!
Jan.12,2014
Ok! Here's what I can promise myself! To blog once a week! I came to the realization this week, that if I posted about my day, everyday, it would be short, sweet and to the point. That is normally how I am, but in this case, writing about the week makes the time go by faster while putting it into one post!
Anyways, the week went by fairly quick. I was quite shocked at how fast it went. Another school week gone by, of course. Getting lots done. Decided this week I was going to focus on upgrading my math, and then put the rest of the year, and focus on doing Physics. Man I wish I had of paid attention in highschool!! Things seem so simple now that I put my mind to it. I have some pretty awesome friends, and then there's the people that I put up with, b/c I just do. Most of the time I'm just focused on work and listening to music at the same time, so I have no time for their everyday life bullshit!! Everyone has their problems! I get that! However, when home life interferes with school, then maybe it's time to deal with it?
Also this week, I had a friend confide in me, in regards to her recovery from rehab. She fell off the wagon on the weekend and needed someone to go to b/c she said her support system was an absolute joke. They were a joke, b/c they were into the shit with her!! That pisses me off!! If you're in the same boat as a friend like mine, and you fall off together, but make it sound ok, then I feel you're more fucked in the head than you think! I told her that I wouldn't wish that type of behavior or disease on my worst enemy, and that if she needed a support system, I would be that person. I even took it a step further and went with my Aunt to an Al-Anon meeting. For those of you who don't know, Al-Anon is for the family/friends of folk who are alcoholics. I learned a lot that first night, and I have every intention on going back. It was great to say what I felt in this group, and have he confidence of knowing it wasn't going to be repeated. My mom goes with my aunt as a support. My uncle has been clean 103 days today. That for him is huge, considering it was a life time of drunken stoopers. It was also refreshing to go to the group and hear my mom admit some things I thought she never would. As wrong as it may sound, that is one of the reasons I want to keep going, is to hear my mom out, and not judge her for doing so. I just need her to say those words!
Emma started Gymnastics this week as well. It's after school and she super enjoyed it. She came home and told me that she had to learn how to do a cart-wheel and round off. I was pumped about this, b.c I've done gymnastics all my life!!! Finally something her and I can do together!!
I've been in a mood since last night, and it's b/c of my hubby. Back in the summer he was invited to a wedding, to which he was told he had to go solo. That my friends, is a fucking piss off being told that you can't go to a wedding with your husband. It's not that I was real close with the asshats who were getting married, but it's the whole etiquette behind it. I would certainly never invite my friend to my wedding and tell her that her other half, no matter how well I knew them or not couldn't come. That showed me how much of a class act they were to being with. The bride caught wind of how I felt, and I told her straight up that if the shoe was on the other foot, she would feel the same. Regardless, when Adam told me he was invited, I told him, best friend or not, if he had half a fucking brain he wouldn't be going without me. However, he went, which, fuck it.... go..... I'm not sure what kind of friend would "guilt" their friend into going to a wedding without his significant other, but then again I'm not sure what significant other would actually go without his other half. Anyways, I didn't want to hear about their day, b/c I simply didn't wanna hear it. However I did want to hear what he did through the day. Of course, he didn't tell me what went on b/c he figured I would be pissed off. Then after everything was said and done, I find out that he was involved in the pictures.... which baffles me as he wasn't part of the one man wedding party, and then found out he was the one who caught the garter (which lets be honest, the groom intentionally shot right at him). That sent me into a fuckin rip roar b/c I gotta find out what went down this way. This is the one wedding from 2013 that I don't want to fucking know or see anything about, and it seems to be popping up everywhere!! FUCK IT PISSES ME OFF!!!!!
Now that I've got that off my chest, we'll move right along!
Anyways, so today on the ole Sand Par that is Prince Edward Island, it's a whopping +8 degrees and the sun has been making an appearance every so often. It's been raining non stop for the last few days and most of the snow that came down is pretty well gone. If we get a few more good rains like this, it won't take any time to melt the monstrosity of snow that was dumped. This can only mean one thing. Spring is on its way!!! Only 67 days until Spring bitches!!! But who's counting!! LOL
Guess I'll leave it at this, as I am headed to my Mother In Laws for an early supper!!
Chat at ya's next week!

NYR??
January.5th,2014
New Years Resolutions??
I suck at those!! As i,s I suck at keeping my own promise to myself of trying to blog every day! Anyway, So on Thursday the 2nd, Me, and my two daughters started back at school. A Thursday of all days?? Like really??? I can honestly say that we have never gone back to school in the new year the end of a work week. It didn't make sense. Friday..... Well we had no school on Friday. It stormed like a mofo. Since December, we have averaged a storm every 2.5 days. That's insanity for here!! I was excited for the White Christmas, which we did not have in over 8 years. Now it's just getting to be a pain in the ass. There has been just a little over five feet of snow come down within the last month. Anymore and it's going to be over my head. All we hear in the news is that roofs are collapsing under the weight, or another storm system moving into the Maritimes. Luckily my parents have a roof that is so steep, the snow slides off!!
So today being Sunday, it's a balmy -8 degrees Celsius, or for you fine feathered folk across the boarder, it's a balmy 17.6 degrees Fahrenheit. I see what ya'll are doing with the whole Fahrenheit thing. It makes it seem warmer than it really is!! LOL..... Unless ya'll get into the negatives yourself. That's when ya know it's freezing!!! We've had a cold snap for the last week or so dipping into the -39 with the windchill factor. It was freezing yesterday, blowing snow, drifting, and today it's climbed up to -8 and tomorrow it's suppose to reach +7. Pretty sure Mother Nature doesn't know if she's coming or going!
A Freezing rain front is suppose to move in over night tonight. I'm sure that the 5 hours of freezing rain that's predicted will cancel school yet again. Hooray for another day at home..... *Insert sarcasm here*
I should probably tell you all something about myself, seeing as how I suck at introducing!! My names Venessa and I am from Prince Edward Island, Canada. I'm from a village of 100 people, called Mt.Stewart. I am a born bread and corn fed red neck! As my mother says, she was responsible for the first nine months, and after that my dad's responsible!! I am presently in school to become an Automotive Technician. I know how to do a majority of it now, but it's just better to be certified! When trying to decide what I wanted to do for the last 11 years since leaving highschool, my dad has always been the one to tell me what I would and wouldn't like. He, of all people, knows me best. I am 28 years old, have two lovely daughters, Emma-A.K.A. Emmie Bell (8 y/o) and Nikki-A.K.A. Squirrel (6 y/o). I have a fabulous fiance, Adam, who is my everything. We can honestly say we have been through it all, and end up with each other in the end. I also have 3 amazing siblings. Megan, Nathan, and Amanda. We are all fairly close, despite having very separate lives. They all have kids, who I am absolutely crazy about. Riley and Rhaya are Megs babies and I love them to death. Nate has James who is just as stubborn as his father (Got that honestly enough!) and again, love him to pieces!! Amanda is Calgary with her husband and her son, Linkin. I call Linkin my "Wittle chubby Bunny" b/c he's got the chubbiest little body I've ever seen. I enjoy our skype dates, but wish they were all really here. I have to best parents in the world!! I am fortunate enough to have a very young family. My mom is Tammy..She is firstly a mother of 4, and a grandmother, whom the kids call Nana of 6. She's 46 years old and is a professional Chef, Cake Designer, Caterer, and Tailor. She has worked hard all her life,and it is easy to see the determination on her face when given an obstacle. My daddy is Urban and he, my dear friends, is my hero. My dad is 51, and is quite literally a "Jack of all trades!" He is first and foremost a father of 4, a fabulous grandfather of 6, whom the kids call Poppy. Everything I have ever learned is from this man. He is a volunteer fire fighter, and has been for 27 years, he is a plumber, a gas and diesel mechanic, a carpenter, a fisherman, a snow plow driver, and the list goes on. It's from these wonderful roots, that I get my hard drive, work ethic, tolerance, love, compassion, etc. These people mentioned above, all make my world go round!
Mom and Dad
Nathan and James
Riley
Rhaya
Megan
Amanda and Linkin
Adam, Me, Nikki, Emma
These are the people I have been blessed with and I certainly would not change it for anything in the world!
Moving right along, it's been a very uneventful weekend, to say the very least!! More than likely because my car bit the bullet NYE. The starter went on it. And of course the parking lot our town house is on, is nothing but a sheet of ice, so jacking the car up to see what the hell is goin' on is a big NO NO. Luckily for me, I drive standard, so it's easy for me to put'er into third gear, dump the clutch, and away I go. However, it's been too cold for that crap, so home is where I stay! Adam and I did a marathon of cleaning yesterday, and of course when I say we I mean me!! LOL... My OCD kicks in and I have to have things done a certain way.
Anyways, I guess I out. It's finally nice enough to take the kids outside!
Chat at ya's soon.......................Same bat-time, same bat-channel!!!
New Years Resolutions??
I suck at those!! As i,s I suck at keeping my own promise to myself of trying to blog every day! Anyway, So on Thursday the 2nd, Me, and my two daughters started back at school. A Thursday of all days?? Like really??? I can honestly say that we have never gone back to school in the new year the end of a work week. It didn't make sense. Friday.....

New Year, New Book
January.1,2014
So, I've decided that for each day of the year, I will (or at least attempt) to blog about what happened that day and share our lives with you.
So, January 1st, 2014. *Ugh* I need an adivan!!! Time is going by so fast. I remember being a child and remembering how Christmas vacation went by so slowly. Now that I'm back in school, a week and a few days hardly seems long enough. Me, my 9 y/o Emma, and my 6 y/o Nikki are all heading back to school tomorrow. I cringe at the thought of it, but if this is what I need to do to further my life, then so be it.
We had a fabulous Christmas seeing most of the family. This year had me realize that I can't be in several places at once, and I can't please everyone. That for me is tough, because I'm a people pleaser!!!
For Christmas I was certainly spoiled. Adam got me a professional salon straightener which to me is amaze-balls b/c I never spend that kind of money on myself!! (I'm usually spending it on everyone else!) My big thing for him was his LifeProof case for his iPhone. The girls had a fantastic time getting everything they asked for. And if they didn't get what they wanted, they certainly got a butt load of gift cards to get what they want.
I took the tree and decorations down on the 27th, simply because I was sick of looking at the chaos! Now, don't get me wrong, I grew up in a household that has nothing but choas, but after looking at my decor from mid November to Jan is farrrr to much for me. It was nice to get my house back into some sort of standing order!
Today I was suppose to go to my Nan-Banan's for a New years dinner, but when in doubt, something goes wrong with my car. Like my mom said yesterday, "It wouldn't be a MacDonald Christmas unless a car part blew up!" Pretty sure it's my starter...... Praying it's that, anyways! If not, then it's off to the junk yard and off to the car lot for a new car!!! So for today and the time being, there's not much I can do besides try and fix it. Can't worry about things like this anymore. It's going to send me to the nut house.
So, to compensate for not having any of Nan's famous food, I've made Turkey Dinner!! I had to cook it anyways!! Plus I want some turkey sammiches with the left over meat!!!
Anyways, the day has been pretty uneventful!!
Catch ya'll tomorrow............Same bat-time, same bat-channel!!
