If I don't blog do you know

that I am just not up to speaking or do you think I am just to busy? I wonder who comes and visits my blog, and who they are, and if they find me entertaining? This morning was a rough morning. My DD woke me up way before wake up time. To tell me that her little brother had hit her. It just went downhill from there. She informs me that I forgot to make her lunch last night. Has a real fit over it. I make it. I feed her, she eats two pieces of toast and cheese and a glass of milk. Then asks for dinosaur porrridge eats that. Steals her brothers goldfish crackers and then asks for another package of porridge and eats that too. Where does the kid put it all. On the other hand the little guy never seems to eat anything for me. Good thing he eats at daycare or he would be even smaller than he is. Daughter is pushing son on his bed, I say don't do that he will hit the headboard. She does it again, I get up off the floor and turn around as you guessed it the third hit nails h...

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...

Digital world is taking over

Just a thought. Everything is electronic or digital or computer now. Or at least it seems that way. Are you shocked when a store only accepts cash, or a few stores around here now are saying they will only take electronic payments. It all seems crazy to me. During the summer a friend from Montreal came to visit. She had a time with counting change, even though she is Canadian due to the language barrier. Later on a friend from Australia came. She had trouble with change due to the sizes and colors of it. She was horrified that we can alter our money here. We have the penny presses that alter an American penny with a loony of our money and put a place name on them. Apparently in Australia it is illegal to alter money. They also have plastic money. It lasts way longer. Apparently Australians swim with their wallets more than us so the plastic money is safer. It would be good here for the washing machine cycle. Back to the penny presses. Even though we are Canadian the machines are obviou...
