I have decided to have a rest day today, I have worked hard over the last couple of weeks spring cleaning the house, and I feel I need a rest.
Little Bear wasn't at school today it was parents open day, so we got a little lie in today, which was nice. We went to see little bears teacher and she is doing really well at school, so that's good.
Hubby cooked a nice dinner for us and a couple of friends and now I am chilling out with a can and watching Star Trek on telly.
Later I am going to read some more of my book, which has got to the interesting part.
Had a nice time yesterday with my sister in law and my eighteen month old neice, who is really georgous.
So all in all a good couple of days.

Not Toothless yet
Well I went to the hospital, and to cut a long story short, by the time they had decided that my tooth indeed did need to come out. It was too late for them to take it out because I couldn't wait the six hours on the heamatology department because it shut at five.
So I have to go back next monday which is the earliest appointment time and have it done then. Only trouble is I was suppossed to be going to the dentist to have my abssess drained but now I won't be able to have that done until 17 October. Also Monday is my shopping day with my Dad and I have had to cancell that as well. Needless to say I was not that impressed with the whole thing.
So I have had to remake all the arrangements about little bear for next monday instead. Still at least I had a lesson in dentristry from the young male student who looked at my teeth. I got all the information about student loans and finances, which I was interested in because bear no 1 may be going to university next year, fingers crossed. He was telling me he lives on spagheti bolinaise with lots of lentils and chick peas in, (I have never tried adding these to spag bol, will try that me thinks, wonder if bears will eat it).
Anyway I managed to get some of my book read, I have got to the really interesting part now (its called the vanished man by Jeffrey Deaver, if you are interested T and MC. Its a lincoln Rhyme one and it is in typical Deaver style, makes you wonder who the criminal is straight away.

A Bloggy couple of days
Yesterday I went to the dentist, I have had toothache for a couple of months, bear with a sore head, but I have had to wait a while for a dentist appointment. Anyway I finally get to the dentist and she says that I have an abssess between two teeth (don't know how I managed that) and I also have a wisdom tooth that has gone rotten, which has to come out. Ok so far, then she looks at the sheet I filled in and she realised that I am factor xi deficient which means that I bleed a bit more than normal people, so she wanted my heamatology card, (of course I haven't brought it). So I go home and ring her the number to ring. With me so far send me an E_mail if so I could do with an explanation. Anyway the dentist says she will ring the hospital and get back to me. Ok.
Today the dentist phones up, she has phoned the hospital and they are not happy for her to take the tooth out because of the risk of bleeding and because it is a rather large wisdom tooth that dosent look like it will come out easily. So I have to go to the dental hopsital tommorrow to have the tooth out and then I have to go to another hospital to sit on the heamatology ward for 6 hours so that they can make sure I am ok.
All this is very short notice, so I have had to arrange for someone to take and collect little bear from school because I won't be able to. All this for a tooth that isn't even hurting me lol.
Anyway have told hubby to cook tea tommorrow because I don't think I will feel like cooking after I come home from the hospital.
On top of this Bear No2 got a letter saying she didn't get the job, she says she's not upset, but I would be if I were her.
Also I have spent two whole days cleaning up, clearing out the girl bears room and I am absolutely knacked, and the main room has got even messier in the process, I had planned to sort it out tommorrow but now I won't be here so I guess it will have to wait.
On the plus side.
1 Going to hospital means I might get time to finish the Jeffrey Deaver book I am reading at long last (I have had it for over a year)
2. Might get tea cooked for me (Grin)
3. Don't have to fetch little bear from school.
4. Girlbears room looks lovely now its all tidy, it looks so much bigger now.
5. Little Bear got a new Karate suit tonight and it looks great ,she has her first belt on it already, and in two weeks time she is going in for the next belt. Well done little bear.
6. Bear No2 has heard of some other stores that are recruiting that she is going to apply to.
So I guess I have a lot to be positive about really.
Anyway if I don't blog tommorrow it will be because I am a bear with a very sore head and have gone to bed and unfortunately its not because of a hang under lol.

Busy Busy Bear
Today I have been tidying up bear no 1's bedroom, I was supposed to be doing all the bedrooms, but it took that long to do bear no 1's (two days) that I haven't started on the others yet. Still bear no 1's room looks really nice now I wonder how long it will stop that way.
Trouble is once you get one room looking nice you want all the others to look that way. So tommorrow I am going to start on the girls room, hopefully that won't take as long to do, and I might be able to make a start on the main bedroom.
Why is it that teenagers don't seem to notice mess, I guess it's because they flop into bed and don't notice. Now I am destined for weeks of mum where did you put, my game, book , socks, cd, dvd etc. because he will never be able to find anything until he has quite happily messed it all up again. he says it is organised chaos, I say it is a total mess.
Anyway will sign off now as I am a very tired bear.

Its Sale time
Today I went to town with bear no 2 to buy her some new clothes. I couldn't believe the amount of sales that were on in the shops, and all the lovely clothes at really cheap prices. Unfortunately I couldn't afford to buy anything for me at the moment, however, I definitely intend to go down town later in the week and get something for ME. Bear no 2 got some really nice clothes for her interview and she looks really nice in them.
I enjoyed having a wonder round town with bear no 2 we don't spend a lot of time together just me and her and it was nice to talk girl talk and look at clothes etc. The men in the family refuse to go clothes shoping with me, both of them say its really boring, and mutter things like how much longer are you going to be,Not another shop, what was wrong with the last one, etc but funnily enough when it was just me and her we were done in record time, only one hour, amazing.

Good News
Bear No 2 has an interview for a job on thursday, which is good news because she has been skint for quite a while. I am hoping she gets the job. She is really nervous about going for the interview and keeps asking me what she should say (just be yourself) I tell her. Now she wants me to give her some money so she can buy something to wear for the interview. Still if she gets the job it will be money well spent.
All this has got me thinking about going back to work myself, but there are a couple of little obstacles to overcome. Still might consider it if I can get something that would fit in to school hours. Will have to look into it further.
There are a couple of things I promised myself I would do before I get much older, but both of them require more money than I have at the moment, neither are urgent things so not essential but it would be nice to do them, I guess you could say they are on my wish list.
I tend to look at money in three catergories.
No 1 Essential items, food, clothing, rent etc all the boring stuff that has to be paid for.
No 2 Things that we need but can't afford just yet, they go on will have to wait pile.
No 3 wish list, things that I would buy do if I had the money but aren't essential.
No 4 How to squeeze it out of him indoors. The words camel and sandstorm come to mind!

Karate
Yesterday little bear went to Karate and did her level 9 grading for a yellow tipped belt (first belt).
She worked really hard bless her and she was so proud when sensi(teacher) handed her a certificate.
Today has been one of those days it all started with a bus.
Hubby had to go to doctors at 10.20 so we set off at 9.55 for the bus at 10.20 we were still waiting so hubby says we can't go now we will miss the appointment and have to wait until end of surgery.
Only trouble was he was out of tablets, so I phone up the doctors and explain, doctor kindly sorts out a perscription, when will it be ready I ask twelve oclock he says.
I turn up at 12.10 only to find out that surgery is closed for lunch!, not open until 1.30 great, So I phone up hubby and tell him I will wait until it opens. Finally I get the perscription and take it to the chemist, only to find out that they are out of one of his tablets, so I have to phone the docs in the morning and sort it out. What a day

Cricket
I don't like cricket, at least that's what I thought until yesterday/today. When I heard that England might actualy win the ashes, I asked Hubby to put it on the telly.
Well after about ten minutes of hubby shouting the rules at me, I got really into it, and soon Im shouting "Come on Peterson, hit another six man, show the Ausies who's Boss) Polite version. It was great, I really enjoyed it. Then today we sat and watched the England Parade and it turns out the England Ladies had won their ashes as well. well I was gobsmacked as we say upnorth what a double wammy for the Australians.
Anyway at least now I have found a sport that hubby will also watch with me it goes like this.
I am banned from watching football because hubby says my language is too blue, basicly it goes like this, Come on you great fairy, I could do better, who was that to you fart, Get up Beckham you great girl, again polite version.
I am also banned from watching tennis because hubby can't stand it he says its like watching paint dry, boring.
So now I have a new song.!
I don't like cricket I love it!.
WELL DONE ENGLAND

Teddy Bears Cafe
Today it is the weekend this means that everyone gets up at different times and wants feeding for example.Hubby was up at 4.00am letting out the damm cat. And then in again. And then out again. Cat hates rain! Hubby loves rain!. Cat couldn't come in until hubby came in.
I got up at 10.00am I thought I will have some stew for dinner that I found in the freezer.
So I put it on to boil. Hubby dosen't want any dinner he had something earlier. ok.
Little bear gets up (What do you want for dinner I ask?) no reply. Ok, I think.
Start eating my dinner and little bear wants some so I give her my dinner.
Bear No 2 gets up she makes tuna and tomato's on toast now it is 1.30pm.
At 2.30 pm Bear No 1 gets up and wants feeding so I make him Scrambled Eggs and Ravioli on toast. Now it is 4.00pm. Guess what now, little bear and bear no 2 want their tea.
I think - I am having a break for a bit - I have been cooking practicaly all day and now I am tired. Stuff this.
Sit down until 5.00pm and then cook tea. Problem is hubby can't eat what we have so I have to cook two lots of tea (asuming he wants any).
I forgot to say any time anyone has anything to eat the cat decides it wants feeding as well!
Does anyone else have this problem?.
