Floodlite Moon



One year ago on fathers day red deer was under a severe flood watch. We spent fathers day at work moving everything from the first floor to the second floor. Not a pretty day. But man some pretty photos. This year, it has rained off and on for the last two weeks. Lots of rainfall warnings. People at work getting tenser and tenser as fathers day approached and the river began to rise. Sandbars start disappearing and man oh man the jokes that are said. But so far no, flooding not even close. Last year after all our hard work it was only the parking lot that got it. The buildings were safe.
Yesterday was fathers day. Hubby is sick with a cold. He actually cancelled his plans to go drag racing because of it. That means HE is sick. Poor guy. And this is his week off of work. At least he will have some time alone with me at work and the kids in daycare.
Yesterday during the race when I saw Tony crash my heart was in my mouth. OMG I thought he would be a goner. Then to see him using the sledgehammer on the car I just about died laughing. Was he ticked or what.

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.
