Happy Halloween 2006

well it is halloween day.

Not sure if I deserve the best mom award or the worst mom award. Here goes:

Daughter is up playing at 3 as usual. At about 5:30 she comes into my room and says I think I am going to throw up mom. So I saw go get a bowl and lay down for a while. Well I hear a cough and splat. So get up. She made it to the cupboard with the bowls but didn't manage to get a bowl. So I hand her a bowl and tell her to lie down quietly for a while. I clean up the mess, and within 10 minutes she is up playing again. Very hyper. I go back to bed, and get up at 7 like I usually do. She says she is fine. I keep asking her to sit quietly. She eats a bowl of noodles for breakfast. Says she is fine. Is playing very hyperly with her brother until eight. So I send her to school. Good mom or bad mom??????????????????????
I am still deciding myself.

I would have done the same thing. If she feels well enough to play, she's probably fine. And if not, they'll call you.

I did the same thing with Morgan/daycare a couple weeks ago. He felt warm but not too bad. Was at work for 20 minutes then had to go and get him.

It's always a hard call when it can go either way!

I would have done the same thing Oscar. Sometimes your body just needs to rid itself of the illness and then you bounce back fine. She purged herself by throwing up and to be honest she would have said if she wasn't up to going to school. I can sympathise after having the week from hell last week - gastro with both kids and the vomiting didn't stop all week :(

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.
