Proud Mommy Day

DD was chosen as one of four narrators for her school assembly today. That means she is considered well spoken, reads well, and can stand under pressure. She has practiced and was nervous but so excited about it. She didn't want to practice in front of me though. Tuesday night when I had parent teachers with my DS, she practiced in front of his Kindergarten class. She was awesome the teacher said.

So today at assembly she was nervous. You could see her bunching her dress up with her fingers and rolling her eyes. But when all eyes were on her and she stepped in front of the microphone she was calm, poised and so well done. She made me have a tear in my eye for a proud Mommy moment.
There were only three narrators. I wondered about it. One child was sick and didn't come in. So DD was chosen at very short notice to do her part and the other childs part. She handled it so well.

She also won an art award today too. She was front and center at most of the assembly. With her black dress and little braids she was so precious. But then maybe that is her Mommy talking.

That is something to really be proud of; something I could never do. And still can't. Good for her.

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

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.
