My blank sheet of paper

The end of my fuse is starting to smoulder.  I couldn't even finish one sentence without my kids screaming at me.  Keyra's taking off her diaper, she's touching the tree, Jordan's bugging me, Ara won't talk to me... It never stops. From the moment they wake me up at 6:00 in the morning (if I'm lucky) to the minute I banish them to their rooms at night I never have a single moment to myself.  I can feel the burn out coming.  I am angry.  I cry all of the time.  I don't want to feel like this.  I don't want to react like this but my brain is shortcircuiting.  I know my kids are just little but honsetly when someone tells them to not run in the house a million times a day you would think they may get it once a day but nope I'm wrong.  I don't know what to do.  I've tried ignoring it.  I've tried being nice.  I've tried being mean.  I send them to bed.  I take priviliges away.  What more can you do?  Especially when all you feel is a big black hole.

I can't believe it's November already.  I have not started my Christmas shopping.  My desk is a disaster.  Once it's cleaned this time it shouldn't get like this again though as I know how Quickbooks.  I have ordered cookies through the pre-school so hopefully my banking won't be too bad this year.  Jay is sick.  Jordan is sick.  I feel something coming.  Work-wise, we went straight from Halloween into a November rush that lasts the first half of the month.  As Jay is sick he is not happy.  Poor guy.  As I see money in the bank I am happy. 

 

Tonight I am supposed to be attending Wine on the Mountain 4.  It is a charity event that we are donating our lights to, our new LED wall as well.  With Jordan being sick I'm scared I won't be able to go.  I'll have to sit down and talk to Jay when he wakes up.  It is a wine tasting.  So I'll enjoy the food and maybe sip a half glass of wine all night long.  There are serious movers and shakers at this even though so that is cool.

 

Next week is Remembrance Day (we're doing the audio for PoCo), then two dances, then Tiesto then a high end wedding show. 

 

Jay and I will maybe sleep next summer.  From November comes the mess of December and Christmas.  There is a chance we'll have three productions for New Years then it's time to start the Olympics stuff.

 

Fun fun fun

 

 

One week until the busiest week of the year is over.  Halloween is nuts.  Last minute calls with people hopeful for a dance, rental or DJ.  Too many shows to keep track of (that's why we have rental point).  New clients. Old clients. Grumpy kids.  I truly dislike Halloween week.  Having the big day on a Saturday this year is even more stressful.  I am paranoid about how many people will be out and about causing mayhem.  I am too busy this year to take food down to the guys the next day.  The kids and I have church and then a trip out to see Grandma in Langley.

 

The week after Halloween is a bit mellower but not by much.  Oh well this is the busy season.  Can't wait for a bit of a break.

 

I'll post pix of my cakes when i can.

Wow, I don't know what got into Jay yesterday but the house sure looks great for it.  The living room has been cleaned.  The kitchen organized.  Keyra's crib made into a toddler bed (my baby is not a baby anymore).  Today he wants to tackle the entrance and our room.  My desk will be clear.  Lots of receipts going into a box until I have all of the new programs set up to input them. 

 

Yesterday was also a great day for card signing and rental point.  I'm through half of the cards.  Then I have to address the envelopes.  It's never ending.  We entered our first package into Rental Point at 1100 last night.  It's awesome.  We have proper pick lists now.  We can see how much we are actually making on a package.  We can see how much we are losing on a package.  No double bookings will happen that will cost us money.

 

Oh I love it.

 

Well time to get ready for church. 

 

Have a great day

Well I must have missed more than I thought in the last few days with not watching the news.  I was driving back from Burnaby yesterday and in New West I almost caused an accident when I paused to see all of the campaign signs on the side of the road.  What the heck are they doing there? I was under the impression that political parties can only campaign for 12 weeks before an election ( and that number may be high).  Unless the parties have sat down and deicded to call an election without telling us or without dissolving Parliament some crimes are being committed.  Who will fine them?  At least that money can go back into the budget to help with our huge deficit. 

 

What is our country coming to???
