I can't believe that it has been almost a month since I last wrote here. And to tell the truth, I'm forcing myself to sit here and type. I should be in bed right now, I'm tired and grumpy. But that's ok, I'm going to catch you up on what's been happening over the last little bit.

First of all, Happy Thanksgiving to everyone! Hope you all had tons of turkey and lots of quality time with loved ones. We had 2 turkey dinners, and we're still eating it! Can't have enough turkey, and the leftovers are the best part of the festivities :)

Second of all, kids are good. Joey is enjoying school... I think. He gets quite a bit of homework, and its sometimes a chore to get him to sit down and concentrate on it. He does it, but doesn't like to do it. I still wonder if maybe this class is too much for him. He's probably the youngest of the grade 1's and he's in a grade 1/2 split class (only 6 grade 1's in it). The teacher says that he gets along with the kids and that he's not having any problem with the work, but I don't know. Maybe its just the "mother" thing and I worry too much.

He's also had some issues with pushing on the playground. Since its a zero tolerance school (more like 3 strikes!), he has been warned that if it happens once more he'll get a detention. Maybe that's what he needed to hear, because we haven't had any problems for a week now! Woohoo Joey!

Chris is still happy little Chris. Still eating LOTS and learning more things - he likes to sing the giggle song that is on tvo kids, and you can make it out really clear! Its so cute to see him dance and wiggle while singing "giggle, giggle, giggle"! He also does "Wheels on the Bus", so we've found the karaoke version on the bbc kids website (thanks to auntie Laney!) and he gets to watch that occasionally. Its funny to watch a little one with headphones on dancing to something you can't hear! You should try it :)

We're heading to the pumpkin farm this weekend, the 3rd annual group visit! We can't wait - Joey is really excited. I'm hoping that we get lots of people out and that the weather is decent. As long as it doesn't rain, we'll be ok. So next week, sometime, I'll actually have pictures to post (if I remember the camera!).

We got a great gift today - a beautiful framed picture of the kids! We have never met the man who sent us this picture, but both Jason & Kevin have contact with him on a regular basis through their photoblogs. His comments keep the guys going, competing against each other all the time. I love that the picture he chose to frame and send is one that I took! Sorry boys, I ROCK!!! And Ken, you ROCK too!!! I LOVE THE PICTURE!!!

So what's next that I can tell you about??? Work. Work, work, work. Its been quite eventful. Eventful enough that the police were called! Guess I should explain this one...

Most of you know what I do for a living - commission payroll for a real estate company. And you also know that I normally don't talk about work on here, or use my blog as a forum to bash people either. But tonight I'm going to break both rules. I hope that by doing this, other people will find out what this person is really like.

Long story short... A few weeks ago an agent from another office came to our office to pick up a commission cheque. He yelled at me - nothing new! But he kept yelling, swearing, just being a complete ass. Anyways, RECO don't want to get involved as he wasn't "practicing real estate" at the time. Ummm.... getting paid for selling a house is still part of doing real estate. Guess RECO don't know their ass from their elbow either. So I called the cops. I could take this guy to court and get a restraining order against him, but its time consuming and I'll probably never see him again, so why waste my time? I figure that if I let people know what happened, then this guy may lose a little business because of it. So if you found this when you googled Joe Camastra real estate agent to find out what he's like and you want to use him as an agent - DON'T!!!!! Even if he loses one deal because of me, its WORTH IT! And if you read this, Joe, you're a jackass, moron, frickin idiot, incompetent piece of crap... may sound familiar to you, but my version is cleaner.

Ummm... there's been so much more but I just can't think right now. Anyways, what's the lesson learned for today - don't mess with me. I will get my own back, in my own time, in my own way. (Its good to finally get that out! I hope people will tell me if it helps!)
