Weekly update:

Monday DD got her report card. SHe told me she had something to tell me, she got a C in gym. She got A's in everything else. When I opened the report card to sign it, there was an Honors Certificate in it. So proud of her. At parent teachers today her C is because she just doesn't try hard. Not so much her asthma, she just doesn't work hard or participate hard.

Last night was Brownie Badge night. She tried for 13 badges and passed all 13. I guess she broke a troop record. She will also get one more key, and a entertainment badge.

Tuesday night was my last photography class. It was all about studio lighting this week, I learned tonnes. Sorry the class is over.

Wednesday night was the kindergarten board meeting. We are doing the bake sale next week at the kids program.

Thursday was my work's open house for invited clients. A huge deal to keep business and get new projects. Not my cup of tea as socialization bothers me, but it went by fast.

Today is kind of a regroup. It is raining, and freezing and raining and freezing.

Tomorrow is the craft show at the westerner.

I would like to get the tree up this weekend.

A C in gym...certainly not the end of the world. Getting high marks in gym doesn't go on a normal resume, so not to worry.

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.
