A Woman’s Diary

I have to babysit tomorrow morning. Oh the joy….not…ESPECIALLY since my nephew likes to be the biggest cry baby ever!! I’m just thinking about it now. The worst part is that it’s for the entire morning starting as early at 7am!!

Geeze…I go to bed at that time not wake up at it. So you can just imagine what it’s going to be like in the morning. Not to mention that we’re suppose to get a snowstorm too.

Well, our house has been decorated since the middle of November. So I’ve decided to post some photos of our tree here for all to see. Here are two shots of it. One is just normal and the other is with the lights on. This is my mom’s hard work. She loves decorating the tree.

Unfortunately we no longer have a family tradition where everyone helps to decorate it. We’ve all grown up and are usually never home at the same time. So my mom takes it upon herself to put it up and decorate. She did a fabulous job.

I got a new photo of my nephew Marquis to show you all. I absolutely LOVE this photo of him. He looks gorgeous!!

I had to babysit him for a few hours while my parents went to get groceries. Of course I was home alone. For the most part, he slept silently next to me in a crib. Then all of a sudden, he was farting then started crying. I was like…okay…what’s wrong? Then he kept crying.

I picked him up and started rocking him, smelled his bum for pooh, but there was none. Then I took him upstairs to feed him a bottle. Of course he stopped crying. When I was done feeding him, he just kept crying and crying. No matter what I did he wouldn’t stop. I was honestly going insane. I was to the point where I just laid him on the bed and laid next to him and listened to him cry for a minute. I was out of ideas on how to calm him down.

Then I picked him up and rocked him gently again. Still didn’t stop crying. Then finally I hear my parents come home and handed him to my mom who somehow calmed him down. Seriously…I don’t know how she did it!! I was honestly on my last fuse because I didn’t know what to do.

That is the question I really want to ask my parents. It just seems that I am to them. They’re pissed off at me because I don’t want to continue in my program. Geeze…it’s not like I’m dropping out entirely. I’m continuing in photography night classes instead.

For this past week all my parents have been saying to me is…

• “Look at your life.”
• “Look at where you’re going.”
• “What? You’re gonna learn things from watching Montel?”
• “You need to go find a boyfriend.”
• “You need to start planning for a career.”

Like fuck….it just never ends at my house. There was so much more other shit they said to me this entire week that has really put me off the edge. They don’t understand that the things they say to me affects how much I actually like them. They’re just setting themselves up for losing me in the future.

After saying all this bullshit to me, guess what happens a few hours later? They ask for my fucken help with something. Like geeze…if you were nice to me then maybe I’ll help you. Why does this happen in my life. Seriously…I fed up with the bullshit in my family.

Like it seems I am the failure in the family to them. What my sisters didn’t fuck up?? My younger sister, let’s see what she did.

• ran off to another city on new years with a group of guys
• cussed off at school and stopped going back in high school
• she has yet to graduate from high school or even attend college
• she’s fucked more guys I can count on one hand
• she got knocked up
• she moved out not once…but twice
• she got caught stealing at an amazement park
• she would leave the house at all hours of the night

And I’m the failure????

Then there’s my older sister. Let’s look at her life…

• is in extreme debt to my parents
• went off to university and played with the boys
• did some drugs and partied so many times a week in university
• just comes home to shower and eat. She’s never here
• is a fool in love with rushing into marriage and not even being together with her boyfriend for long
• has purchased a home…again rushing into things…heck she doesn’t even have the money for it…loans, loans, loans *shakes head*
• would rather let my parents pay for things then help out by giving money

Once again, and I’m the failure????

They are driving me to the edge…and I’m not joking.

I was browsing the web for a short time today and found this hilarious family video. This guy is making a video to send to his mom and dad about a new member in their family. What happens next?….you have to watch and see!!

Nice title eh?? LOL!!

Not a whole lot is happening right now. We are use to having a baby in the house pretty much every other day now. My sister brings him over and he stays the night sometimes. He is such a beautiful baby too. I always get to hold my nephew.

What’s funny is that the first day he was born, I was scared shitless to hold him because it was my first time holding a baby. I wasn’t sure if I’d hurt him or not. But now, I’m a pro. LOL! He loves being held and rocked and will look up to you too. It’s soooo adorable!!

Here’s the most recent photo of him I took. He’s one week old here.

If you are a regular reader on my other blogs, I’m sure you already heard the news then. My nephew was born early this morning at 3:33 a.m. It’s still very surreal because now I’m officially an aunt. I’m still in shock too. I got a chance to visit my sister and my baby nephew today. They are both doing very well and the labour didn’t last long…a mere few minutes. LOL!

I was surprised at that as well. I’m going back to see them both tomorrow morning so I better get my beauty rest. Of course I can’t end this post without showing off a few photos.

I’m sure Tina probably mentioned this on her other blogs, but our nephew was finally born early this morning. He was born at 3:33 a.m. and weighed 6lbs 5oz. He’s such a cute baby too!! His name is Marquis. Here are some photos Tina uploaded to her flickr account.

Yes…I DID! I DID! I’m happy I got a few gifts out of the way now. I have a couple more things to buy for my sisters and then they are done. Then I have to get something for my parents and my sisters boyfriends. But…the good news is that I’m done shopping for my nephew. I got a few cute things for him. I got him two outfits, 4 books, and a cute Winnie the Pooh hat and mittens. See the photos below.

Tomorrow is our dad’s birthday. He’ll be turning 51 years old. It’s crazy how time goes by so quickly. Hopefully it’ll be a nice birthday. We’ll celebrate it this weekend though because he’s working when everyone is home. I won’t be able to say Happy Birthday until later tomorrow night. Oh well, better late than never.
