Online Casinos

*This is a sponsored post.

Winning big at a casino can be ones most memorable moments in a lifetime. I have never been given the opportunity to have such a large win but it doesn’t mean that it doesn’t happen. A few years ago my uncle won about $15,000 playing a casino game online, therefore I do have faith in it.

For those of you who do enjoy playing casino games online i highly recommend you check out a website called casinoscandinavia. This website shows some of the top casino games available online. It rates other casino websites as well as gives the amount of games available, the amount of bonus, the percentage of payout… ect!

Please be aware that gambling can be addictive and chasing losses is not a good thing to get into. Have fun with it, and best of luck!


I feel like I have nowhere to turn right now. My head is running a mile a minute and I haven’t had a good nights sleep in well over a week.

See, the thing is.. my eye doctor said I cannot go back to work ever. I was told to apply for a disability plan to which I was denied with their reasoning being that I did not work enough hours to pay into the plan to recieve benefits. Okay, so that makes sense except for the fact that I was born with the disability, and it’s been getting worse as the years go by.

I was told that if I want to get the disability plan I would have to go back to work to get enough hours to pay into it. This is approximately 4 yrs of full time, 40 hours per week, work.  My doctor tells me if I do this my vision will deplete, leaving me blind, sooner rather than later.

My other option is social assistance through community services. I’ve contacted them because they have a disability plan but because I do not live on my own with Alyssa then I only qualify for just under $150. Wow, that’s alot to live off of. My medications for my eyes cost that alone…. so that’s not an option either.

So, my options so far are theses:

  1. Go to school, finish my degree and work at getting a career of interest.
  2. Work to get enough hours in for the disability plan
  3. Live off of assistance for the rest of my life (highly unlikely).

Each of these options have a lot of cons, for example:

  1. Going to school means student loans, and also the risk of going blind with all of the reading etc. if I go blind who pays my loans back? Also, I’d be left back where I am now.
  2. Working — again, the risk of going blind. I already have no vision in one eye. Is it really worth it?
  3. I don’t think I could ever sit on my ass and rely on a cheque at the end of every month. Not to mention who could live off of that amount?

One thing that goes with all of these options is that I also need daycare or a babysitter for Alyssa, I would need transportation as I do not have a vehicle and Matt works 6 months a year away.

It seems like no matter which way I turn there are numerous things that stop me from being able to make a decision. My doctor is pretty much against all of my options but how can I be expected to live off of nothing?

I am really under a lot of stress lately. I don’t know what to do or where to turn & i feel like I’ve exhausted every option. Anytime I try to contact placement agencies for work or look for help getting Alyssa into daycare they fall back on the “But your doctor said you can’t work” .. so who’s going to hire me?

Like I said, I feel like I’m between a rock and a hard place. The only thing that’s keeping my sanity is my beautiful little girl and seeing her happy. I’m sure things will work out in the long run.. it’s just to try and make the best decision for myself. I cannot predict the future or when / if I will lose my sight completely… I just need some advice from someone other than family (because they have all sorts of opinions).

Happy February!

Wow, it’s February 1st already. In a way it seems like 2010 is flying but in other ways it seems so slow.

Alyssa is going to be 17 months on Thursday. She is getting so big so fast. I really want to have another baby but we’re not sure as to when yet. We have a lot going on as far as careers, university and looking into a new home goes. We’ll see what happens though.

Other than that there’s not much going on. I’ve been thinking about opening up a new website but I can’t seem to grab a domain name that fits and isn’t already registered. I’ll keep thinking on it.

Tomorrow is groundhog day. Here’s to hoping for a SHORT winter :D

Party Time!

We recently took Alyssa to a birthday party and boy did she have a blast. She was only the only girl there but she fit in quite well with the boys. She played in trucks in her plaid shirt, had a messy face & got lots of kisses from the boys. It was really a cute party, I thought I’d share some photos with you.

The Roof Is On Fire!

So today I had to go over to the hospital to get some blood tests done. This isn’t on my list of fun things to do when I have a baby free morning but it had to be done. I arrived a little late, but to make things worse the fire alarm went off. The whole hospital was evacuated because there was a fire — on the roof.

I’m not quite sure how this fire started nor do I really care. What I do care about is that everyone was okay and the hospital had minimal damage.  My blood tests did end up getting done this morning, suprisingly. I was freezing cold by the time we were allowed back into the hospital and the only readon I had stayed is because I already registered. I didn’t want to have to go back to my doc to get papers filled out and try this all over again. Makes sense, right?

Anyway, I can’t get the pictures of the men and women in those hospital gowns with no backs in them standing outside. They must have been frozen. My mom got angry because I was giggling butttt … the hospital is right by the ocean, I could just see someones gown flying up. It would have been priceless. Hm, now I feel kind of cruel for thinking that. LOL.
