Happy Halloween

What a day, I'm still not feeling 100%. I have managed to push myself through the day and have "pretended" to ignore being nauseated until it hit hard this afternoon.

This morning I went for a haircut & brow wax, brought Ty to nursery school, then picked him up went and had a sub for lunch with him then went to the grocery store. Ty fell asleep in the van on the way home (THANK GOODNESS!!!) When I took him out I was hoping he would sleep a little longer and he did. I put my groceries away super fast and clunked out in bed trying to get the fluish feeling to go away. I woke up close to 4 from my deep sleep and was contemplating bringing him trick or treating, I was feeling worst than before I went to bed, I couldn't not bring him.. so I got him ready and I *thought* we were just going to do our block and then when we got to the end of the road he wanted to keep going and the fresh air sure was doing me some good. I asked him to wait because I knew my friend Stephanie was close by with her kids and a couple friends so I thought at least I would be in the company of great people while he ran house to house. It turned out to be a great night and I'm glad I decided to go.

It's been 3 years in a row Ty has worn his lion costume.. it is getting pretty tight and short.. his spider-man costume was way to thin to wear on such a cool night and it would defeat the purpose if I was to cover it in a snowsuit :-) Next year I will buy him a new one and Tamaya can be a lion..lol Grand-ma and grand-pa sure got their moneys worth out of the lion costume. I saw one of my daycare ladies tonight. I took the day off and felt like I was playing hooky. I really prefer to let them know the night before so that they can make alternate plans in advance for childcare, and not at 5am. As soon as I feel like it could get worst I usually give them the heads up. I know I would want the same respect given to me by my childcare provider. The only problem is mommy actually took the day off work because her back-up sitters were all busy. So I kind of felt bad for being out and about all day.. she did notice my fresh haircut and thought it was nice ..lol.. I really wonder what she may have been thinking. My other family called me today to tell me she is also feeling fluish.. I'm thinking something must be passing around???

While Ty was trick or treating tonight there was a haunted maze. I was unsure whether he would go in or not.. we got to the entrance and he started getting scared. I picked him up and there was a man with a scary mask standing there, he was getting nervous and I told him that he was a lion and that if he said boo.. he could scare the "monster" away.. well he yelled BOOOO and of course the man humoured him and pretended he scared him. He went all around the maze and scared all the monsters away as we trekked through the haunted place. He was really proud of his new found power of being a lion. There was some places he outright refused to go, and others he used his lion power to get his point across.. he then found the growl in himself. At one point he went to a house.. growled at the older couple and ran back.. forgetting to get candy??? My oh my. He also had a problem with going into peoples houses, and I even overheard the booger telling one of our neighbours that he wanted MORE candies then he had received " I need one for my mommy, one for my daddy and one for my sister" he told the man very matter of factly...(the funny part is, he did get more out of the deal) ;-) He tried that line out later in the evening, but that didn't work out for him... what a kid!!! These are the days being a mommy are extra special.

Ty with his treats

Ty eating a treat!!!, now I have to hide them so the sneak doesn't get tooooo much sugar. He is already a VERY active boy without the added bonus of sugary treats.

WE ARE OUT!!!!

I've got to say I am so flippen excited and I honestly never knew I could squeal...lol Our daughter is on route home. We have finally been signed out of the dreaded IBESR.. our official time in 8 months and 8 days. "usually" it take about 2-3 months after they are signed out to get home.. Home stretch now. I still don't want to have any expectations on when she will be home, but before Christmas would be nice.. I don't have to bring her clothes back either. I had this mental picture of having to bring them back and it hurt so much.. Now I get to hang them in her closet and feel confident they will fit.

Woooooooooh Hoooooooooo

I still can't believe it. I had mentally prepared that I would have to "fight" for her to get out, that I would be stuck so much longer. WOW

It's so funny because ALL day I have been feeling under the weather. I have bad gut and since after supper I'm feeling like I'm going to be sick, I've even called all my families to let them know I am taking the day off tomorrow... Now I don't know if the shakes are from excitement or the flu.. ;-)

Our power is now out... thank goodness for a laptop with a charged battery.. the only ducky (hahaha Stephanie I used your word)part is that I can't post it until I am on-line.

procrastinating AGAIN...

Hard work often pays on after time

But laziness always pays off now

* I did steal this from another blog, but as soon as I saw it I knew it was so so so so me :-)

Ty with his new jacket and buzz cut..hahaha (who has longer hair now.. Ty or Tamaya?), at least now my son's hair is shorter.

Ok well now I have to stop making excuses and get my kiester cleaning. I promised Ty we would go out and play some hockey later so he can go test out his new winter boots. Then we will come in and have some hot cocoa.

Good times...

We watched click. It was a good movie actually. I enjoyed the "bigger" meaning of the movie. I was hoping Ty would fall asleep during the movie, but instead he sat there and watched the whole thing... at least once we got home I was just able to plop him in bed and he fell fast asleep without a fuss.
I had a fun day. I didn't spend much (????) actually I didn't even buy anything for me.. what's up with dat?... wait I must of... oh, yes a carpet for our entrance.. $3.97... hahaha. I did score big time on a jacket I had been eyeing for Ty. I noticed it last year and fell in love with it. It was close to $70 and I REALLY had a hard time justifying spending so much on a spring/fall jacket. I picker it up today and it was 50% off.. Yippppeee.. now that is something I can justify :-) I will be sure to post some pics of him in it. I did finally manage to buy my big guy his winter boots, last time it snowed we were house bound because his last years pair didn't even come close to fitting.. now we are good to go.




I came home to an e-mail from a mom that recently came home from getting her son in Haiti. Her son was at the house my baby girl is and she took some pictures as well as video clips of our daughter. I was supposed to meet her at the pumpkin patch, she burned me a CD and will mail it to me this week. I'm sure I will be stalking the post office this week waiting to see it. She did send me a couple as a teaser.. lol and yes they were indeed a tease. *I'm still trying to get used to her short hair.
I gave Ty a buzz cut today. I tried getting all fancy, but he moved.. so it was a zero all the way. Luckily he is so cute with it gone.


My e-mail notification went off as I was writing... One of the ladies adopting from our Orphanage came out of IBESR.... I AM SO SO SO HAPPY FOR HER!!! Her file had been in for over a year... I couldn't imagine. She has been pretty patient throughout the whole ordeal.. not all stressed like me..lol We had talked a few times last week on the phone. She really help me come to term with my feelings and it really helped that it came from someone who understood. It couldn't of happened to a better family. (and plus, their file number wasn't higher than mine.. so I do feel it was imperative she get out!!!) I have a hard time with higher file.. ;-)


Our turn will come someday too... I'm just thinking the POA they need might be what may be hold up. I'm hoping next week will bring on some clarifications as to what's going on.

Well I should be heading to bed it's too late. I was really hoping my dear hubby would sign in to MSN or send me an e-mail.

Supposed to be running out of the house..

My girlfriend and I spend the day together. I was just supposed to run home, feed the dog, get in my jammies and head right back. Instead I am sitting here blogging.. :-) Do I have a problem * I think so.

We went to a Mexican restaurant for supper with the kids and it was such a nice dinner. Our waiter was fab and of course we praised him for being so wonderful. He sure got the message with the big with the tip we left him.. ummm.. I think it was close to 40 -45%. We called him over and made sure he knew that we were very impressed with the service he gave us and that it wasn't very often that we get that.... especially around here. We asked to speak to the owner to let him know as well. It really seemed to have made his day... I guess one of those good deeds for the day... It funny because most of the time we get shitty service we don't hesitate to complain, but when we get excellent service we sometimes forget to encourage it.. anyways I'm babbling and I should run

p.s. Steve I'm going to write you a one liner here...

Hopefully we can catch each other again tonight??? Love you babe :-)
xoxoxox

IT'S FRIDAY.. well technically Saturday.. but whatever..

This morning I brought the kids to get the oil change done on the van. 3 kids in a dealership... not exactly my idea of fun. At one point another family and their son showed up (I think they may have been in the process of buying a vehicle.) His mom went to put him in the play area and the boy was obviously shy because of my gang being there and she threatened him that he would have to go sit with his daddy. The boy screamed and hollered " I hate my daddy.. no mom" as he was having a tantrum. Ty looked at me in shock " mommy, I love my daddy, that boy doesn't like his daddy? Mom I would go sit with my daddy" well my eyes filled with tears as I was listening to my son visibly shaken by this experience. I could see so clearly how much he missed his daddy and it filled my heart with sadness. We sure do miss Steve... (Love you babe!!! 3 more weeks :-))

I had planned a trip to Toronto this weekend to attend a reunion of sort for the children that have been adopted from Haiti. My girl friend, her children and Ty and I had been planning this trip for a while now. We unfortunately had to cancel as we are in a snowfall warning overnight and all day Saturday. I am a tad disappointed because there are a few families that I was really looking forward to seeing. Last year at this time Steve and I had went and I remember bringing the picture of my then 2-3 month daughter feeling so proud and showing her off to everyone... here we are one year later. She is 16 months and we are still waiting. I hope by next year she will actually be home to come.. :-)

I guess now that I will be home I will get some much needed rest as well as finish up a few projects that I had started.

funny, but I'm not laughing

Ok.. so I had this BIG fear that when my hubby left for his tour, we would need something and he would NOT be here to "take care" of it. Soooooo I got an e-mail last week requesting a scanned copy of our power of attorney we had drawn up for our lawyer in Haiti and for us to send the original to Haiti. I contacted my agency to let them know of this request because they have all our dossier papers. They got the scan out by e-mail the same day and through a follow up call I asked her if she also sent the original to Haiti.. She was unaware she needed to do this (I think it was just miscommunication). Then realised she did NOT have an original, she had a copy and that the original were sent to Haiti in the beginning... So now I have to get "another" original and well... guess what?.. HUBBY IS NOT HERE TO PUT HIS JOHN HENRY ON THE POA... Soooooooo, I will *try* to use my POA to make a POA???? and hopefully they will accept it. As soon as Steve is home he WILL be signing a new POA again just in case they come to me once he is gone back to Afganistan and need an real original.... OH MY GOSH, CAN IT GET ANY WORST... yes it could, so I will just thank my lucky stars that it isn't.

Positive thoughts today...

I woke up feeling refreshed and ready to take on another day. I am back at a "healthy" adoption waiting place. I am strong (like my hubby said :-)) and I really can do it. I am only human I will have moments where things will get hard and I cannot suppress them. If I feel the need to scream and cry I will.. It makes everything better!!! I'm not going to go around pretending this is a easy part of my life... it is in fact one of the most difficult time I have had. As long as I can stay focused on the big picture that this stress is temporary and I will get through it I will be ok.

My hubby is the best. He wrote me a nice heartfelt e-mail and it was nice for him to acknowledge my pain. He knows this is hard and I think just having his support and him telling me it will be ok made it all ok. He is such a great hubby and father. I honestly have the best hubby for me. He makes me laugh even despite our circumstances. I know yesterday was hard for him. He is used to having a "strong" healthy wife and I was less than that :-) Thank you Steve for being you.

My house is back in order from slacking yesterday and a clean house always makes me feel like my life is in order :-) mmmm it smells fresh!!!

having a hard time understanding...

I am having a pity party; you are all invited to join in self loathing with me...lol
Where: Here at home
When: Right now
Who: Just me myself and I

OK so on a not so funny note and I am having a hard adoption waiting day. I am sick and tired and mentally done with this. I am not calling Haiti again and son of a beehive she can came home when ever the hell she is ready. I am not dialing that stinken busy line again.
There is a family from our orphanage that has been signed out. They are 150 files ahead of us (I am truly happy for them, what beautiful news for them and I do indeed think everyone should be out of that mess) on the other hand it hurts so bad knowing we are not and that we have waited longer and I am having to deal with this alone.

* the above entry was written this morning, but I didn't post it because I was so upset... notice the difference between this morning and this afternoon... (never going to call again... to OK.. I called...lol)

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

So now it's just about 5pm... I have called Mrs B back..lol. I told her I had called her last week and that she asked me to call her back Monday. I asked her if she had any information on my file.. she looked it up and said NO you are not signed out yet. I asked her if she had the file with her and she said that no, she was looking at a sheet with all the file she has signed out this week. I asked her if she knew if there was a problem with it and she "sounded" annoyed, and again asked me to call back next week...so I changed the conversation really fast into "thank you so much for your time.. and I will talk with you next week. ( she is the last person I want to annoy.. ;-)

I am so mentally exhausted from today.. I will be eating lots of CHOCOLAT tonight and celebrating 8 months in IBESR ..lol

My hubby even called at the right time today. He got a very big speech (sorry hon, I love you!!!) and it felt nice for him to hear my frustrations. I also at that moment in time did NOT feel alone. He was there supporting me and I know had he been home he would have been my shoulder to cry on.. but even thought I didn't get to hold him while I cried, it was nice to have his support... I miss him so much and REALLY can't wait to have ALL of my family together.

So today was a bad day.. I do feel much better knowing where I stand with my file. I feel like some anxiety about being signed out has past, I'm not sitting by the phone hitting redial and I will get through this... BREATH... just BREATH :-)

awwww my princess...

From what I heard my Tamaya was having a problem with all the people from the mission trip.. it was a little overwhelming for her. She's still the most beautiful baby girl I've ever seen :-)

A tad disappointed...

I will try not to bore you anymore with my attempt to call Haiti... their lines must be down as I am still receiving a busy signal. Be rest assured I will blog news once I finally get a hold of Mrs.B, but for now I will not be posting about it anymore :-(..lol.. just wanted everyone to know there was still no news.

Good morning...

awwwww what a beautiful Tuesday morning..lol. I woke up to my screwed up alarm again... 30 minutes early yet again. That gave me so much time to get stuff done. I emptied the dishwasher, swept and moped the floors. Riley came in at 6:15, and his mommy informed me he didn't go to sleep until midnight.. that's nice!! and Jeremy came in crying because he wanted to go home and screamed loud enough that I'm sure he woke up the neighbourhood... soooooooo, with my fake smile in hand I WILL make it through this wonderful day. :-) Ty has nursery school today and I have some running around to do while he is there so my day should pass-by fairly quickly.

My dear hubby commented in the "dodge post" requesting a new one??? It's so funny to see his nice pick-up rusting out, the heat doesn't work in it.. I think the wipers don't either. Every other year the driver door doesn't open and you have to go in by the passenger door..lol..., the muffler needs replacing and unfortunately the list goes on and on and on, I believe it is also a safety issue to have this thing on the road. So maybe once he gets home in Feb we will have to look for another... MAYBE!!!! Depends on how nice he is to me.. ;-)

There is one time I took Betsy to pick up a dishwasher (on a Sunday, NO ONE sells dishwashers on Sunday by the way ) and the ABS light came on. I called Steve from up the block to ask him what this meant and was wondering if I should go home. "ok.. umm, just let go of the break and see if it rolls" He says. "Yes it rolls Steve" I tell him still unsure of myself and if I should ride this jalopy "don't worry about it" he says to me, thinking the problems was that the breaks ceased yet again.. He said oh, no problem.. just go ahead on out. So once I got home the problem still existed. He checked it out and one of the break lines was gone/broken/not working/let go.... he was wondering how in the world I managed to break??? Sooooooo...I don't think his truck is safe, and I sure wouldn't be taking it anywhere else.

should be going to bed...

I am exhausted, probably from all the mental work I did today... redial, redial.. so tiring..lol, so ultimately the verdict for the day was the line was still busy. I assume this means the lines are down. I hope I have some good news to report tomorrow.

Today after our friend brought the truck out for a ride, I was sitting here and when he brought Steve truck back into the drive way, the dog was at the door crying... poor thing, she thought daddy was home. Funny how our furry little friends have sounds embedded in their mind. She misses you hon, and by the way, you need a new battery for the truck. Every time Steve is gone away for a while they have to have their reunion outside. The dog always pees in excitement when she sees him... He's the only one that she does that for, I'm sure that makes him sure feel special. :-)

Ty stories from these past few days;

- while in time out trying to get my attention "mom your beautiful"
- on the way into the bath naked and playing with his penis
" Ty, remember those are your private parts. If you want to play with it you have to do it in your room and while no one is watching" I tell him while he keeps going and doesn't listen to me. I give him the hairy eye balls...
"but mom, I'm playing with my GUITAR"

I sometimes wonder how I can look at him with a straight face while he is saying such silly thing... lol.. I do however laugh inside :-)

Good-night

and the line is still busy...

I have been sitting here with the phone clenched in my hand for the past 2 hours, I keep hitting redial faithfully every 10 minutes or so... just in case someone may answer. I'm thinking I may have way too much time on my hand... I wonder if there is anything I can scrub, or maybe a TV show to keep my mind occupied???

As I was writing this post our friend came to boost Steve's ol' Betsy... I even took some pics of him.. I will even post them for your viewing pleasure.. why??? to occupy my time..lol

HAHAHA!! Steve the NEW dodge is helping the ollllllld one.

Nervous wreck...lol

I have been trying to call Haiti all morning. obsessively, maybe???hahaha. I have been getting a busy signal except for once and when I asked for Mrs. B, the lady started talking creole and I had no clue what she was saying until I really paid attention and asked for Mrs. B again and got a... "moi pas Mrs. B.. moi Collette"... oopsy wrong number :-)

I will let it go until this afternoon... I figure I don't have much more quiet time with the kids the baby is now up and I want to make sure Mrs. B has my full attention when I call.

Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow....

Yesterday brought us a full day of snow.. I love the 1st snow falls.. they are always so nice and refreshing and so beautiful to look at... towards the 10th and all the shoveling it becomes a pain. I'm sure this one will not stay around, but I was surprised to see the amount we got. I'm thinking this year I will hire someone to come clean the driveway. I barely have time to get everything else done let alone get outside first thing in the morning to clear the driveway.... I should probably arrange something soon.

Today I get to call Haiti again... I am hopeful that it will bring on some good news. I'm still nervous and I hope this time I don't tremble like I did the last time. If she is signed out it will bring on a whole new set of anxiety. I will NEED to get her stuff in order... her room prepared and of course I would be hopeful for a Christmas reunion, but with all that being said, I don't want to be disappointed if she isn't here before Christmas. What a emotional roller-coaster this has been. It's funny how our 2 adoptions have been very different. With Ty's I was in the dark about everything. I had no idea what the process was like and was lucky to get an update every other month. He was my baby, but he was also just a picture. I was clueless when it came to the next steps. With Tamaya I know too much, have held her, spent time with her and miss her. I have known where I am every step of the way and have been very informed about the whole process... Neither make it any easier. Every adoption whether fast of short, is still very difficult and enough to drive you batty. Thank goodness Ty is home to remind me of the fact that she will eventually come home too and this waiting and patience (*my pretend patience) will all be worth it in the end.

* a conversation my mom and I had;
"so if Tamaya is ready to come home mid Jan I will wait until Steve comes home to have her escorted" I told her.
"Sue, c'mon do you really think that you could do that" she replied to me matter of fact.

I think my mom has a point there...lol. I'm thinking the day she is ready to come home, I will either be picking her up ASAP or she will be on the next plane home... The last few pictures of her really hit my soul. I love her so much and just want to finally parent her. It's nice to love her from afar, but I want to play with her, bath her, feed her, love her, spoil her, hold her.. (Jeeezzz that almost sounds like a bad 80's song, I want to love her, squeeze her.. wrap my arms around her.. * do you know the one?)

Anyways I better get on with my day.. I have a laundry problem, yet again. I stripped all the beds, but this time I had all the new bedding, old bedding + the comforters and the accumulation from the past week to catch up on... Steve oh Steve where are you my laundry man???? C'mon home so we can do sweet laundry together :-)

Good day...

Good morning my faithful blog readers...lol. Sorry I didn't have a chance to get to writing yesterday, when I finally sat down to write a message the blog site was down.

It's been quite the weekend.
Friday night I went to my girlfriends house as she was having a party! There was quite a few people. I had a 2 drinks, but I didn't get tipsy, I was kind of bored..lol and feeling out of place. So I decided to stop at 2. I got home around 2:30am after I drove everyone home. Pretty sad that I seem to always be the designated driver.. (maybe that's why I'm always invited..lol)
Saturday morning I woke up to Steve calling.. I love when he calls. It's always nice and refreshing to hear his voice. We talk for a about 10 minutes and then I started my day. I had a pleasant surprise in my e-mail. A wonderful lady from the Netherlands that I met through a Haitian adoption chat group went to Haiti and made her way up to where my baby is and she took some pictures of my princess for me. Then Marijke (she's the lady that took my princess into her home) sent me some picture of Tamaya with her birthmom and one of her sister. It was GREAT to see my baby.
Ty and I went to do some shopping a little later than usual because my head was just aching. I took a pill, rested a bit and we headed out around 4:00. We got to Wal-mart and my friend Stephanie was there with her son. We decided to have supper together at the McDonald's there which was nice. Ty was great and then we headed to Canadian Tire (daddy's favorite store) and Ty was so happy. We were going to head to the mall afterward.. I'm still trying to find him a pair of winter boots.. but it was closed. We then headed to Zellers and I found a few things I wanted. I bought some fleece sheets that I can't wait to wash and put on my bed. I bought him a velux blanket for his bed.. Then we found the perfect outfit for him.. a pair of "soldier" pants and a T. to match. When I told him I would buy them for him he picked them up and started kissing them... "muah, muah, muah.. I love them mom" he said to me... nothing like making me feel like I made a good choice to buy them eh...lol

Well I have a million things to do and got to get to them because unfortunately I am the only one here to pick up the slack.

Here are some pictures of Tamaya and Ty in his new outfit. I asked him if I could take a picture and he chose to pose like that.. lol

When we brought Steve to send him off, they were doing roll call. Ever since then Ty has been saluting and shouting "COCONUT SIR" I finally figures out what he has been saying for so long... Corporal Sir... Kids eh!

Shouldn't be blogging.. should be cleaning

I don't have much to say, but I know I am procrastinating. Let me assure you, I WILL NOT be posting pictures of the house :-) I would be ashamed if anyone was to see it this way. I don't even think hubby has ever seen it this bad..lol.
GOOD NEWS: my clock rang at the right time this morning and IS still at the right time :-) I'm hoping that it has auto-corrected itself.
I got a nice e-mail from my hubby. What a sweetheart he is (well, that's until he comes home!!! hahaha just kidding Steve!) He said "It must suck waiting for 2 loved ones".. Oh yes it sure does..lol, He did mention his tour may be extended until mid-march.. can you say; I DON'T THINK SO!!! I think he will be using the baby as an excuse to get here in Feb, even if I have to get involved!!!
I have come to the conclusion that if my daughter is ready to come home in Jan... I will wait until Steve gets home to have her escorted. I think in this case the pros outweigh the cons, but if she is ready to come home before x-mas I will be on the 1st flight to get her home.. This is all great "thinking" I'm sure when it comes down to the crunch I will scream and run and go get her/have her escorted right away...lol.
As soon as I'm signed out I will start on her room. We still need to buy her a bed.. I think that could be one of the projects Steve and I can do when he is on leave???
ok ok ok ... now that I have spend all this precious time blogging I will get to my scrubbing. If I don't get to it soon Riley the cry guy will be up and it will pointless to get anything done :-)
IT'S FRIDAY!!!!!

Just breath Sue.. just breath..lol

OH MY GOSH.. I just received an e-mail suggesting I call the new director of IBESR in Haiti... my heart started pumping faster and my palms started getting clammy almost immediately after. I looked all over for the darn number and once I finally found it I gathered my thought... wrote a few ideas down of what I wanted to talk about and picked up the phone.

* I spoke to her in French

me; Hello may I speak to Mrs. B Please.
Mrs B; It is me
me; How are you today?
her; I'm doing very well.
me; My name is Mrs. S, I want to congratulate you on your new position at IBESR
her; Oh thank you.
me; I'm calling in regards to my file. We have been in IBESR for 8 months now and I was wondering if there may be a problem.
her; May I have your file number please
me; 13057
her; your child's name
me; Chantaline M.. and our last name is S.
her; I will look into that and you can call back when I'm done.
me; When would be a good time to call you back?
her; Monday is good
me and her; Thank you so much have a nice day


Holllyyyyy mollllyyyyyyy I'm doing the sticken happy funky chicken dance. I may not be bringing my babies clothes back... Once we are signed out of that place we are on the home stretch... 2-3 months and she will be here. Please send over some good vibes/ prayers to Mrs B to have her signing pen ready to go once she reviews our file :-) Of course I will keep you all posted about the upcoming developments.

YIIIIPPPPPPEEEEE YAYEEEEEH CAYYYEEEEEEEH

With all that being said I hope she is not like the other froot loop that told us he would sign our file "next week" over 2 months ago. I can't take another disappointment like that!!!

Piss me off!!!!

Son of a beehive... My stupid stinken alarm/time was all messed up again this morning. I set my clock to the right time right before bed (because it was off by 30 min again) and then set the alarm. I woke up came to the kitchen and it was 5:15... not 5:45 like I had planned to wake up at. MAN OH MAN OH MAN!!!!

For those of you who don't know about my electronic problem, let me humour you.... It seems every time I have stress in my life my electronic end up having issues. Most of the time it's my bedroom clock that acts up (I have replaced them... and it always ends up happening with the next clock too) The problem will eventually auto-correct itself. I have been having electronic issues since I was a teen... my whole room would have issues.. t.v., stereo, phone, VCR... then a couple weeks later I had no prob and everything would be OK with them.... anyone care to speculate, or let me know what the stinken prob is????...lol.
