Beautiful Sunday

Got up and hit the road early today. A road trip down to Drumheller. Closest thing that Alberta has to a desert. Very canyon like, and dinosaurs galore. Makes a great tourist town for the dinosaurs. The Royal Tyrell Museum is an awesome awesome museum. So my daughter and I go down to it. I know I will hurt like hell cause of the two hour drive there and back but daughter enjoys it so much. Some quality time with mom. Took the vette. IT helps to eat up the miles. It truly makes it easier on me. So we hit ride the ferry accross the river, then hit the museum, then go into town and daughter plays at outside waterpark. Freebee that she loves. She wipes out running out of the fountain and skins the top of one foot. She was heartbroken that we would have to go home. But the lifeguard at the neighboring pool bandaged her up and she limped through the rest of the busy day. What a little trooper. Her foot looks horrible and it is all on the top where her sandles will rub on it constantly. On the way home I have the cruise set for 7 over the limit. I look in the rearview mirror and see a cop car with lights on. Heart in throat I slow down and pull over. The cop drives by me, by the truck in front of me and keeps on going with lights flashing. He obviously did not have a tired out Mommy speeding in a vette on his quota list. Thank heaven for that.

April 19 is a rough day

20 years ago today I miscarried a baby. I can imagine myself with a 20 year old running around. Maybe even a grandma, that is a rough thought. For years when I could not conceive I wondered if I was being punished for miscarrying my first. I was young, got pregnant in college, and was sick all the time. I had morning sickness 24 hours a day every single day, I lost a lot of weight. I was alone and I was scared. I went to bed one night feeling very ill, I woke up two days later in the hospital. I had hemarraged and been uncousious, and almost died. I miscarried in my fifth month. When I missed college some friends tried to reach me and couldn't so called my ex and he had the landlord let him in. It saved my life. I have always felt so guilty that I was just that little bit relieved that it had happened. I was so young, and on my own, and did not want a child raised the way that I had been raised. Feelings just all over the place. It hit me like a ton of bricks again w

Well I made it and I survived it

I am finally 40. Entering the prime of my life. I think it is all how you look at things. So if I look positive it will be postitive. This is the decade that is going to be about me. I had an adult decade on education, I had an adult decade on family, now I want one on me. Thanks Jenni for calling last night, I miss you and you are welcome to come back to Alberta and visit any time. I got the cutest birday card from Poncho with her original photography on it of a koala, I love it. I feel spoiled and loved and it is nice to feel that way. I got a cake sent to me at work yesterday, a balloon arrangement with a teddy bear and chocolates and some basic grey paper. A bunch of girls from SJ went together and organized it all. I feel so honoured to be counted as one of their friends. I got to talk to geminigirl (Carrie) yesterday as well, she is one of the sweetest people I know. Thanks for calling.

Back to school

Image
DD first day of grade three is today. She is very excited to be going back, and hoping she gets her dream teacher. There was a fiasco last year at the start of school and DD started with her dream teacher and then they moved her twice more and she ended up with a split teacher room. This year she hopes she gets Mrs. K, for good. I hope the school has their act together this year. She didn't want me to drive her, she didn't want me to follow the school bus, she wanted to do it on her own just like last year. She was happy to have mom wait at the bus stop with her though.
