Snuggling warm and safe in bed

It is an unusal thing in my house, to be able to snuggle in bed and feel all warm and safe in the mornings. I typically have a kid that never sleeps so always had me awake long before I wanted to be awake. She has actually slept the majority of the last month and a half. I have of all things had to resort to setting an alarm clock. Can you believe it. Unbelievable. Due to the fact that in the last 6 years I have never had to use an alarm clock, I am not very good about remembering to set it at night. SO I have had a few really nice snuggable mornings in bed. Love them.

I got daughter registered for a camp for the Christmas break. It is all physical activity. Tumbling, gymnastics, wall climbing, etc, so I think she will love it. I also registered in a basic photography course for October. Maybe it will help some. The KIDS KICKING and SCREAMING afternoon, (all about personal safety with strangers) was already booked. I think with daughter going to school this year that it would have been a good thing for her to take.
The one request she had this year was to register in skating lessons again. I wanted to be able to do it, but the class was already full. I got the book yesterday and it is already full. We are fourth on the waiting list. Not likely to happen. I feel sad that the one thing she wanted to take is not available.

I got the most wonderful surprise in the mail yesterday. A friend from SJ Rak'd me. Inside was the neatest luggage tag I had ever seen. It says:
My Kid Can OUT Crop
Your Honor Roll Kid.
I love it. I am not much for bumper stickers but if it was a bumper sticker I would put it on the van. I really would.
Thank you so much Mona. Your card made me cry too: Just Because.

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.
