Weatherman doom and gloom

Last week we had to listen to the weather man predicting snow on Friday for the weekend. Well it didn't come. It came an hour west of us, but not here.

So first thing Monday morning it starts again. Snow on Friday , for the long weekend, grrrrrr, I hate it. Doesn't help that I cannot find a size 8 snowsuit for DD. DS has one that was given to him by a wonderful lady so he is covered. I still need hats and mits for them. I bought boots yesterday.

DD is studying the equator in school. I show her on the mape where it is, and then where we are in comparison. Thats a long way mom. Yes it is a long way, that is why we only have two seasons, summer and winter, and why the equator has only one season summer. Cause they are so far away. I know I will get blasted when she tells her teacher that. LOL.

My Crop for Kids scrapbooking weekend extra-ordinairre is coming up in two weeks in Edmonton. I am so looking forward to taking the classes from the likes of Kristina Contes, and others. I will finally get to work with Hambly. WOOHOO.

I had to suck it up and watch Inside Nextel Cup last night to find out about the race. It totally sucked, I hate Dave, I really do. Allan was so much better as a host. I cannot believe that Tony's gamble cost him so much and took out Carl Edwards too. Tony don't be greedy, it bit you on the azz this time. That race at Kansas was wild by the looks of it. I wonder about my friend DTC that was actually in the stands watching. How much beer did she need to stay dry. LOL

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.
