Winter here for good

It is cold, snowy and miserable and windy. I hurt so dang much. My muscles do not do well in the cold wind. Driving in these conditions do nothing for the state of mind either. I got to pass an accident today on an icy hill that involved two school buses two cars and a guard rail. Not much to inspire confidence in other drivers out there. I hope all the kids are Okay. Shook up no doubt but hopefully Okay. My home town is situated in a river valley. You cannot go anywhere without having to go up or down hills. North South East West gotta do hills. That is of course where the accident was on a hill.

I am still driving the van rather than the Suzuki Sidekick 4 x 4 cause he haven't got new tires for it yet, and I think the new van with new tires is better than the 4 x 4 with bad tires. KWIM?

My countertop microwave died last week, the built in one had died in July. SO I bought a new built in one, but DH did not get it installed. He actually had the nerve not even to take it out of the box. Did he really figure I would go a whole week with two kids and no microwave. It is now sitting on the kitchen table. May not be installed but I can use it.

I scrapped yesterday with my daughter while son was at daycare. A real mommy daughter day. We made homemade Christmas cards and scrapbooked. We actually had fun together. We need to do that more often.

Man oh man do I hurt though. I really do. I just plain ache. My clothes hurt my skin I ache so bad.

Sounds like the cold weather really doesn't agree with you. Hey guess what!! We're two weeks out of summer and it snowed 15km away from my house today brrrr!!! The last time we had snow this close was when I was 18 (yikes)when it actually snowed in our town. Saturday we were getting sunburnt at the local fair and today we're freezing our butts off LOL.

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.
