Ironic but not funny

For those of you that asked, September in Alberta is when days start getting significantly shorter, we lose our exposure to the sunlight. It does not help that it has been rainy and overcast for the last two weeks. Doctors all think that the lack of sun is what triggers the sleep terrors in my daughter. Also using the sunshine lamps and exposing her to them has not ever helped in the past but we still do it.

School pics for grade one were yesterday. My daughter was facinated with the "light up umbrellas" can we get one of them so that my pictures are better Mommy? I asked him lots of questions about his camera mommy. He answered them, and told me I was a princess. He didn't tell any of the other girls this. I had to smile at this.

The kids had a really good night last night, and we had a good morning today. Mommy is still tired though. With the night terrors occuring, I am kind of in bed scared to go to sleep. So even though she had a good night, I was kind of waiting for the terror to start.

That is so cute asking the photographer all about his camera - hmm maybe doesn't say much for your photography skills in her eyes though :-P

Make sure you catch some zzzzz's whilst they are both asleep - no point laying awaking wondering when they'll wake because you're depriving yourself which makes everything harder to handle IYKWIM. Stop worrying - if it's going to happen, it's going to happen so make the most of the time that it's not!!

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.
