My hero Curious George

As a child I loved Curious George books. Mom was at her wits end re-reading the one that I owned over and over to me. Drove her nuts. When I had my own kids I thought great I can revisit the world of Curious George. Alas, neither one of my kids really care for his stories. I bought myself the two hardcover releases of his books. I love them. Well yesterday afternoon I took my Mom and daughter and me to the afternoon matinee to see the movie of Curious George. I loved it. It was so cuts. The peak a boo part so adorable. I will be getting it on DVD when it is out, and even my daughter had to say she liked it. She is starting to grow up too fast. She can now anticipate what is about to happen. As soon as George looks in and sees the open cans of paint she is OH OH. So cute. I seriously want to get the soundtrack for it too. What a voice that man has. Sends shivers down my spine. In a very good way.

Well Friday afternoon me, son and daughter all went to get hair cuts. My hairdresser must have had the short scissors out. Boy did she go to town. OH OH. I had said I wanted daughters hair framed around her face and shorter so it was not in her eyes. Then I took son and went and sat on couch out of view. She comes in and I am thunderstruck. Her hair is short everywhere. I recovered well and said oh you are so pretty. What pretty preety hair you have. But I imagine the look on my face was pure horror. It has kind of grown on me though. She has an absolutely gorgeous neck. She is going to be quit the looker as she gets older. Mind ended up way to short as well and my cow lick is not doing nice things at all. Sons circle cowlick is back in the centre of his head too. To be blessed with cow licks. NOT nice.

Something I would change about myself other than something physical. That is the blog ponder for the day. I think I would have to say to curb my temper and get rid of the yelling and screaming. I am so pround of myself when I manage to get through a difficult circumstance without having yelled. But no matter what Dr Phil says about it being just a conscious decision it is not that simple. I tell myself every single night tomorrow it will not happen, and I tell myself every morning before I get out of bed that I will not do it. But invariably when the kids are not listening and I have to repeat myself over and over and over then it happens. I hate myself for doing it. So that is what I would change. No screaming or yelling.

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...

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. ...

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.
