Twenty Three No More!

At Cafe Crepe. ❤ 

That's right, I'm 24 and happily posting pictures all the while having a post birthday blog bash [I know, certified blog-aholic here]. Anyway, I just want to thank all of you who remembered my day. It was a real treat to read and hear from all you well wishers out there. Here's to hoping next year's bash will be bigger and awesome-r than ever!

Cheers.  ❤

Of Plans and Cancellations

I hope yesterday's debacle won't be repeated on Thursday. I've made plans and should things come up and he decides to cancel said plans I will go ballistic. It's bad enough we had to cancel dinner on Valentines and Family Day plans because of work, but my day, c'mon!

Case in point: we made plans yesterday to go check out TIFF Bell Lightbox and the CN Tower because let's face it, when do we get to really do that as a family? Never. What with his busy schedule, it's a rarity for us to even spend an afternoon together. Yet just as we were preparing to go out he tells me a client [a good friend of his] needs logos, brochures and website done ASAP in preparation for a meeting slated Tuesday. My jaw dropped literally because we've had these plans in place since last week and he had the audacity to cancel on us in the last minute?

Infuriated, I locked myself in the room and barely spoke to him the entire day. Heck, if I had it my way, I'd take off with Kiddo for a week. But alas, living in Canada and frankly speaking still on maternity leave, I can barely afford such a getaway and honestly I don't have friends to have known well enough to aide me.

After a long day, he finally got the message, apologized and vowed he would make up for it. I have yet to see that come into fruition but I have high hopes. Another letdown would be, well, disastrous for him. I don't do disappointments well.

Tick Tock...

It's another Saturday night and Amit is out working at Cineplex. Crazy right? Dude doesn't get a night off. It makes me feel bad most days because he works crazy hours while I stay at home and tend to the little one. Hardly sounds fair for the most part but, it is how it is for now, until Kid can start going to daycare.

Anyhow, I'm just happy to be spending more time with the little man before school starts. I'll be taking a full course load so I can get my degree faster. With all the pressure put on me by my SIL, I have to get on it. Clock's ticking...

For the mean time, this is what I've been up to in the past hour. I love procrastination.

Updates...

It has been a while since my last post. One can argue that I have gone into a blog hiatus of some sorts but to be honest, I haven't really felt like updating much since I have created a Tumblr account and pretty soon, will be launching my own website. Exciting stuff!

With regards to my personal life, everything is going along just fine. I cannot wait to be off of mat leave and back on the job market again. Will be going back to school again, either pursuing an actual Bachelor's and Master's degree in Nursing or perhaps venturing into something else totally out of the Healthcare. I want to spread my wings far beyond my limits. 

Family wise, it's been challenging esp. with my sister choosing to giving up her PR status and choosing to go back but let us not dwell on the matter. I have spent many a night to be glum and stressing about something which I have no control of. On a lighter note, DH's family has really warmed up to me. Since DS came, they've been so welcoming, even his dad manages to smile and talk to me, in English! His siblings don't look at me as a threat anymore and even considers me as a sister. Funny how every thing has changed in just a year.

On the flip side however, I could not say the same with my mom and I. We've grown ever farther apart and now with all the issue surrounding my sister's departure, it's sad to say our relationship has been pushed to its limits. . We aren't on speaking terms at the moment and it's been 2 weeks since the last time we chatted. I guess I'm just not ready to talk to her just yet. Only time will tell at this point.

So, in summary, everything is okay, not wonderful and peachy but just fine... The way I like it. Until next time! 

XOXO,

Melissa
