Friday December 20th, I was with 2 friends and 6 kids in total at hijinks. They had a bouncy house for the kids to enjoy. I was watching 3 x 3yr olds and a 4yr old in my care inside the bouncy house, and there was a boy of about 9 in there as well. He was rough housing one of the 3yr olds in my care, and I warned him 3 or 4 times to take it easy, be careful, etc. Then 2 other boys of around 10 got in there and were jumping around, knocking the little kids over. Then the 9yr old jumped on the 3yr old as he fell down, and I lost it. Yelled at him really loud, told him that's enough, I'm tired of him playing rough with 3yr olds, etc. I didn't really think, I just reacted. Apparently I yelled so loud that my friends said the place went silent. This boy did not cry or say anything to me, I think I surprised him. A few minutes later he left the bouncy house and went playing somewhere else. Fast forward 30minutes: the kids moms friend came over trying to pick a fight with me INSIDE A CHILDREN'S PLAYSPACE, saying I should have talked to them and not yelled at her friends kid. Well, sure logically that's what any reasonable person would do, IF YOU WERE SUPERVISING YOUR KIDS and were there for me to even know who you are! Also should we not be setting an example for our children on conflict resolution, and you trying to start a fight with a stranger, threatening to make my kids cry is not setting a very good example. I however kept my cool, simply told her what happened and that she should do us all a favour and watch her kids. She said 'yeah well my friend has 4 kids!' And your point is?? So you have 4 kids lady, great for you. One day they will be 4 adults and god help us all.
Just because its an indoor playspace, does NOT mean you don't have to supervise your children. Hijinks staff are not babysitters.
Am I sorry I yelled at your kid for playing rough and not listening when being told to take it easy? NO. Am I a little ashamed for Yelling extremely loud? YES
The lesson here parents is please supervise your children, no matter where you are. If you can't see them, get up off your a$$, put down your tablet and coffee, and make sure they are ok and not harming anyone else's children.

Signed, a mom who is not sorry for disciplining your child, who seemed a little unruly and could use some discipline.

Spotted : It was 5 days before Christmas I have $143.00 in the bank, pay day is 7 days away. I still have to grocery shop, my two young kids want to buy something for each other for Christmas. Not sure how I will make it all work.

Opened the mail on Friday to find a Christmas cards from a secret Santa with a Walmart and LCBO gift card in it. I can't figure out whow it is from.

Now I have groceries for the week and my kids have something to give to their sibling on Christmas. Should be fine now until pay day.

Thank you to my secret Santa you have no idea how much this meant to me.

Spotted : To a fantastic friend. Your generosity and support over the past three months has blown me away. You are here to listen to me, let me vent, to walk away when I need to be alone, and a smiling face when I am having a bad day. I don't know how to thank you enough for all that you have done for me. I was at a very low point in my life, my marriage had just ended and you kept me from doing the unthinkable.

Thank you for showing me the way to make me a priority, to live for the future and try forget about the past. For sharing a laugh with me when I realized how much Karma is a Bitch to those who do you harm. Good times and bad, I could not have made it through these past 3 months without you. I will never forget you and never be able to thank you for everything that you have done and said to me.

Merry Christmas to you, you have been spotted!

I am hoping someone spotted the person or people that broke into a blue Dodge Pickup truck parked in front of the Superbowl bowling alley on Thursday between 920 and 11 pm I am also hoping that someone will spot a very important bag belonging to my Daughter with all her ID and eye glasses, make up and money I'm hoping the person who stole these items will have enough with her drivers ed money and throw the rest where someone can spot it and return them.

Spotted : My beautiful daughter is almost five and she cut off a foot of her hair to donate. She also raised $1905.00 for the cancer society. Her paternal grandparents died of cancer long before she was born and she wants to help others not lose their loved ones. She is an amazing kid and we are so proud of her.
My sister donates her hair every time it gets long enough. And I am grateful to have her as an example for my children. She is a great role model for my kids and I am proud to have here for a sister and friend.
To The Windsor Star who said they were interested in taking her picture at the cheque ceremony at her school and didn't show up. I just thought you should know she was very disappointed.
