Monday Morning Howdy:

Tell what would cause this:

Watching Shrek, Shrek 2, Toy story, Toystory 2, Finding Nemo, 12 Dancing princesses, and Meet the Fockers?

a) You are a Mom
b) it is so dang cold out that only an idiot would stick their nose outside
c) your neck and arm and back are in so much pain you can't move
d) all of the above
.

Well if you picked D you are the winner. It is cold here, I hurt so bad, I am a Mom so all of the above applies.

Daughter went to a almost sleepover birthday party friday night. Considering she is not a evening kid she did very well. Then skating saturday morning, and a birthday right after. This one was at the Hot Pot Studio. A pottery place where you paint and decorate raw pottery. She loved this.

Saturday night though she was puking all over. Got the rug on the way to the bathroom and somehow missed the toilet and got all around it. Now I can barely move my right arm and here I am trying to clean up in that tight area around a toilet not fun.

By sunday she was feeling better.

DH took my 4 x 4 to Costco to get new Michelin tires on it. Since we have so much snow and winter is here, I wanted to start driving the 4 x 4. Well after moving all the stuff from the van to the sidekick, I realize the sidekick has a flat tire this morning. Very surprised the van started without being plugged in and having sat outside in the cold. And yes it is snowing even more.

While I was out back finding the flat tire and moving stuff around. Daughter was waiting for the school bus in the bitter cold. I missed seeing it go by and her getting on it. This really worries me. Then on the way to drop son off at daycare I hear on the radio that some buses aren't running. As soon as I get to work I call the school, she is there. Made me a happy mama.

Can I just say, bring in a chinook PLEASE!!!!!!!!

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.
