Dora the Explorer Rocks

Last night was the BIG night. Took the five year old and two year old to see Dora the Explorer Pirate Adventure. We had row 6 on the floor seats. That was awesome. The little guy sat on my knee and did not move. His jaw often hung open and he often pointed but he was totally mesmorized. The five year old even though according to her "I have outgrown" Dora, loved it too. She was up in front of the stage dancing, and jumping and flag waving. True scrapper that she is she had to get pieces of the rain and treasure box confettie for a scrap page. Cameras were not allowed though. SO no pics. I would have loved to have gotton some of sons face while watching. Priceless memories. He was so sad when it ended. No end, end yucky was all he would say. If you have a chance to go, do it. The production is awesome.
So both kids up past bedtime. But so worth it.
Then a big time thunderstorm and rain storm moved through from 12:30 till 3 so I did not get much sleep. I was surprised the kids slept through it.
Daughter has a dentist appointment this afternoon. Since Dad is off work I am making him take her. I always have to be the bad cop, not this time. But I don't think he will really do anything today. Just confirm that yes she has cavities and book another appointment to get them fixed. So I will have to do that.
Son is turning into a Daddy's boy. I get up this morning and walk into the kitchen. SOn says go away Mom I don't like you, I want Dad. I reply well I LOVE YOU. he ran and gave me a hug. Next Monday when Dad goes back to work is going to be rough. I just know it.
HOCKY IS OVER. WOOHOO. I hate it so much, I hate the rivalry, the pettyness, the entire game of it. SInce I lived in Edmonton for 15 years everyone expects me to be a huge Oiler fan. I am not. I dealt through business with too many of them, and don't have too high of an opinion of the professionals. Now Cam Ward from the Canes played for the Red Deer Rebels. I met him a few times and he is a nice kid. I was so happy to see him get the trophy. I kinda felt bad for him. There did not seem to be anyone out on the ice to hug him like all the other teammates. What was up with that. Maybe just the media. Anyway HOCKEY IS OVER. woohoo.
Cam way to go, you deserved it.

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.
