September 2017

As I sit here not enjoying the falling snow today I looked back to what it was like last year on this date. Beautiful but windy fall day.

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...

Thoughtful Thursday

Alberta headlines an announcement that there are 3,500 new positions for childcare in Alberta in 51 different communities. So I read the report. Which can be found here....http://www.child.alberta.ca/home/587.cfm . It comes down to 3,489 positions at the cost of $4,853,940.00 that comes out to $1,391.21 per position. Makes me wonder. Red Deer my community gets 68 positions at two differernt centres and $102,000, which works out to 1,500.00 per position. I just do not get it. I am pulled aside at daycare yesterday where my 4 year old DS attends full time. The owner of the centre tells me that C has left, that the other C is being moved to a new room, and that a brand new C, and J are going to start, and lead will be held by N who has been there two weeks. The daycare owner tells me she doesn't know why but she cannot keep staff in that room. I pay $775.00 a month for him to attend daycare, I pay $255.00 a month for my daughter to attend after school care from 3-6 on school days. ...

I had the crap scared out of me last night

This is not for the faint of heart. I am cuddled in bed sleeping. I hear a sound. But you know you are not sure if you really heard it or if you dreamed it kind of sound. Then I wonder if one of the kids is up. So I am laying there wondering. Then I feel a real real cold draft hit me. Now it is winter up here, so cold drafts are cold drafts, meaning some air from outside is coming inside. Even with my bedroom door closed I could really feel it. I am still half asleep probably. You know that area between thinking clearly and not thinking clearly. Well the thought crossed my mind that maybe one of the kids was sleepwalking and left the door open. Not a good thought. So I roll over in bed to face the outside edge. That is the side of the room that the window is on. WIth the little bit of light in the room I could see the curtains billowing like they were caught in a breeze. Now my heart is pounding. I know the window was not open and the curtains should not be moving. I a...
