If you don't see or hear from me before 2008 do not be concerned. My cards I made for the exchange, and the general card that went out.

It made our local news a couple of nights ago that a US senator made the comment in a house debate that the Afgan war was starting to lose to the Taliban. That the allies could not do it alone. Then the US house passes more money and troops along to Iraq and it seems our troops are left to fend for themselves, in a war not started by them. I just do not understand this. There are many differences between the US and Canadian systems. I freely admit I do not understand all the intricacies of the US system. I do know that until this Afgan invasion Canada had peacekeeping troops not troops that were prepared for wars. It hurts. It really does. If someone can explain to me why the US abandoned the war against the guy that brought down the trade centers and went after Iraq I would be willing to hear. Until then Dear Santa, please keep our troops safe. Afghanistan: Reviewing the war SEATTLE POST-INTELLIGENCER EDITORIAL BOARD While the Bush administration touts its many successes in Ir...

Merry Christmas everyone. DD performing at her concert. She enjoys performing so much. She wants to join the choir. This is DD and me. Cassandra note how tall she is. I am 5'4 and she is up to my shoulder already. And I had shoes on and she didn't. LOL All dressed up for the Christmas Party. DD took the picture. Not bad eh?

Interesting statistics on it. http://www.poodwaddle.com/worldclock.swf

It is a sad thing to think a friend or family member may have made this and sent it in to POST SECRET for me. I have a hard hard time with the holiday season. Bad things, bad memories, bad occurances, happened to me as a child at Christmas. It is very hard to get over them. Yes I have been to counselling but there is only so much that can be erased from ones mind. I am extra busy at work at this time of year as well, my social anxiety is put to the absolute test with all the get togethers and parties I must attend, and then just my personal belief that commercializm is far to rampant at this time of year. I try to keep Christmas a fun and enjoyable time for my kids and family. I really do. As DH and I were wrapping presents yesterday when the kids were at Mom's we were talking about the difference between last Christmas and this one. Last year we were watching pennies, making gifts to save money, and wondering when the blow would fall. This year we are thankful that our kid...

For her first Christmas she fit inside this stocking, this year she wore it as a hat.

Cassandra ---- Boo grows every fall, she is going to be a tall girl if she doesn't stop at puberty. I should post a pic showing her beside me, to give perspective. Remember she is only seven. Linda - open it, truly you need to open it. Pay it forward people--Has anyone other than Linda received???? Hers went to Australia and she has it........... Lori - Boo has her fuzzy pink poodle slippers, she loves them, she has outgrown all her dress shoes, and I have not had a chance to take her shopping for more Patti and Mary thank you for the cards, it is wonderful to be thought of. Janice if you read this, I need your new addy..... for no particular reason....LOL Karen I miss you too. My work commitments that seem to quadruple at this time of year are almost complete, I will almost have time to breath after Saturday. maybe,,,,, I hope so. Then I can start focusing on my own family for the holidays. I hope to get my cards out on the weekend, so those of you far away they will be late,...

Santa came to visit. The kids had a great time.

One year ago the SJ community lost one of their children. Teegan died in her sleep with her parents on either side of her. It turned out to be a RSV infection, and it was that fast. My prayers to Sarah, Grant, Willie, Hank, and Dane and all their family and friends.

The daycare Christmas Party that my DS attends was held last night. DH did not make it in to attend, so I had both kids with me there alone. DS all of a sudden decided to become glue to my leg, and DD was not that much better. During crafts DS was Mommy you do it. We did a gingerbread family, a spiderweb, a bonboncup, and a star ornament, and and and SANTA came for a visit. After waiting in the line, DS is Mom I am hungry, so another kid hands him a chocolate cookie, he sees Santa is handing out oranges, so says he doesn't want the cookie. So it get thrown in the garbage, and he gets an orange instead. Got to love those good eating habits. LOL. And when it was time to go on Santa's knee, he is hiding behind my legs saying he is scared. So I pick him up and dump him on Santa's lap. He then proceeds to have a very thorough conversation with Santa. He wants his white train with multi colorered polka dots, he would like more chocolate cause his sister ate all of his...

1) It is pitch black outside at 5:30 pm, turn on your lights. If you have an older car you are totally invisible without them. If you have a car with running lights, you are still invisible from the rear. 2) Unplug your car before you drive away. Your extension cord flapping around on the road is a hazzard. And once it has pulled out your heater core it is more of a hazzard. 3) Do not wrap your extension cord around your side view mirror and tie it, when it unravels and you drive over it, guess what your side view mirror comes off, creating yet another hazzard. 4) When it snows, clean your vehicle off for visibility reasons. When you are driving with all windows covered and a two inch hole to look through you are a hazzard. 5) Scrape the frost of your vehicle, or warm it up longer so you can see. 6) If you are one of the few that has cleaned their vehicle off or scrapped snow, then put the brush in the vehicle. Leaving it on the roof, creates a hazzard when it flys off. Then do...

Can anyone tell me that this little fellow doesn't look like Stuart Little. LOL

Anyone know of a reputable on line company to buy cuttlekid dies from that will ship to Canada? Also still looking for a white train to alter.....LOL Report cards came out on Monday. DD was horrified at all the satisfactories she got. Totally horrified. I had to explain to her that they meant that she was perfect for where she should be right now. She had lots of above satisfactories and two not yet achieving. One was cooperation with others, and one was not participating in gym class. I asked her why, and she told me that she is not always picked for teams, so she just sits down on the bench. She is too shy to speak up and draw attention to herself. I think this one has to go back on the teacher to ensure that she has opportunity to participate. Am I wrong in thinking that? We are talking grade two. DS has his Christmas party at daycare tonight. There is a cookie sale to raise funds for the ECS room. I made oreo balls, and man I thought it would be simple and it was not. e...

It is snowing, it is snowing, it is snowing. Bah-hum-bug North of us a little ways yesterday a nine year old boy fell asleep on a school bus. Then the errors started happening. The bus driver did not check the bus, the school did not call the home to ask why he wasn't in attendance, until the 1:00 pm check of after lunch roll call. Keep in mind it is WINTER here, cold, windy, snowy. This scares every parent that buses kids somewhere. DD wants to know from any of the down under girls if they have ever had 50 degrees C weather? or experienced it? and just how hot that is? Hottest my DD has ever been in is about 33 C. They are learning about the world for Christmas. Poncho I look forward to seeing your Santa garfield every year. Just like it is not Christmas season until I hear snow white boomers. Thanks to Jenny I have it. LOL. The kids ask for it all the time. Is all I want for Christmas a hippopotamous a song that is played other places than here? Not sure if I like it,...

I laughed until I almost PIMP

SO Leslie, Kristen, Lori, and Georgina keep an eye out for your Pay It Forward Handmade item from me. I apologize for it being 6 weeks late. Sometimes life transpires against my creativity. I finished the items on Saturday and got them mailed this morning. Post office was crazy. The Christmas Mailing rush is on. Canada got pretty nailed with winter from the west coast right to the east coast. We have the cold and some snow, but not near the winds or volume of snow other places received. The Singing Christmas tree at church was fantastic. I experimented with the Rebel XTI sans flash for pictures of the lights. Some turned out some didn't. It was a good learning experience. Austin was upset that Daddy left for work before giving him hugs and kisses. Hard to explain that at 4:30am he was sleeping. Then I got the first time in ages the I don't want to go to daycare. When I told him J would no longer be there he perked up some. We have left him at the daycare he has att...

(-20) degrees Celsius = -4 degrees Fahrenheit That is the temp it takes to keep the school kids indoors at recess and noon and to suspend the daycare kids from going outside to play. Seeing as it has been close to -28 with wind chills the kids are itching to be outside. The river has ice all the way across it now, it just isn't very thick yet. My DS when asked last night what he wanted Santa to bring him, tells me in great detail. A WHITE train with many colored polko-dots on it. Now just how is Santa supposed to come up with that? I need a cookie recipe for the bake sale for the daycare party. I am not much of a cook so it needs to be straightforward and simple. Tonight is the open house for work, I will be glad when it is over. Tomorrow is the craft show. Small home based craft businesses have stuff for sale, looking forward to it. Sunday is the singing Christmas Tree at church. I am taking DD and Mom to this one, and then next weekend I am taking DS and I to it. Mom is k...

The Why's of Men 1. WHY DO MEN BECOME SMARTER DURING SEX? (because they are plugged into a genius) 2. WHY DON'T WOMEN BLINK DURING SEX? (they don't have enough time) 3. WHY DOES IT TAKE 1 MILLION SPERM TO FERTILIZE ONE EGG? (they don't stop to ask directions) 4. WHY DO MEN SNORE WHEN THEY LIE ON THEIR BACKS? (because their balls fall over their butt-hole and they vapor lock) (You're laughing, aren't you?!?!) 5. WHY WERE MEN GIVEN LARGER BRAINS THAN DOGS? (so they won't hump women's legs at cocktails parties) 6. WHY DID GOD MAKE MEN BEFORE WOMEN? (you need a rough draft before you make a final copy) 7. HOW MANY MEN DOES IT TAKE TO PUT A TOILET SEAT DOWN? (don't know.....it never happened) 8. WHY DID GOD PUT MEN ON EARTH? (because a vibrator can't mow the lawn) (this particular one reminded me of a story at Texas Scrapfest) Remember, if you haven't got a smile on your face and laughter in your heart...Then you are just an old sou...

Now this could be mine, but it isn't. The funny thing is I know where that picture came from. It is the renewal subscription card from Scuba Diver. Just struck me as weird that I agree totally with the secret, it could be mine, but isn't, and I have access to that card every month. LOL

This is Pokey he is a Ty Baby. My son has had him since he was six months old. I had him, and when I realized the attachment I got a spare. One could be in the wash, while DS had the other. When you have a kid with asthma the stuffies need washed often. When we were at West Edmonton Mall in October DS lost one. It was a very long night until Daddy brought up the spare the next day. I tryed to find another one, then Jennifer suggested ebay, so I bought one. It came. Last Friday when DS threw up all over Pokey, the new one was brought out. He is so soft Mommy, how did Pokey get new whiskers Mommy, he is so colourful Mommy. One happy little boy that he had a Pokey. What a difference four years of weekly washing makes. Well on Saturday DH took the kids out to the farm to visit Grandma Lilly. Guess what DH did. Forgot Pokey. So the old one comes back out. DS is a little confused by the changes, but I overhear him Saturday night giving Pokey a hug, and saying I missed the ...

It was just a light powder when I left home this morning, now most things are white. There is ice on the river. Geese are finally flying south, I hope they all make it safely, it is late in the season, for them to be leaving. Why do I find it so hard to reach out and ask for help, when I need it. I withdraw totally into myself, and always try to deal with it myself. Was it because I was so isolated as a child. Was it because I never had affection demonstrated to me. Is it just that I am an introvert. I wonder. I get hurt, and I cannot express it to the person that did the hurting. I just withdraw and chalk it up to "that's life". Self esteem is a weird thing. Totally weird thing. I can be strong very very strong carrying the "weight" of the issues myself, but deep down inside I do not feel worthy. That scares me. The few people that I have ever shared that sentitment to have ended up using it against me. Yes I do have trust issues, I wonder why. ...

Say goodbye to all your pain and sorrow Say goodbye to all those lonely nights Say goodbye to all your blue tomorrows Now you're standing in the light I know sometimes you feel so helpless Sometimes you feel like you can't win Sometimes you feel so isolated You'll never have to feel that way again You are not alone You're not alone Never thought I'd find the road to freedom Never thought I'd see you smile again Never thought I'd have the chance to tell you That I will always be your friend You are not alone You're not alone

And that is not a beer bottle, it happens to be a bottle of Captain Morgans. LOL

My Mom's older brother died on November 10. The day before Canadian Remembrance Day. He was a Korean Veteran. He was buried in a full military service on Thursday. Friday our computers at work crashed, and have been down. Lost time, lost money. I still cannot shake this sickness I have, sinuses, cough, runny, stuffy, just yucky feeling. The last race of the Nascar season. YUCK. Why even watch, same old same old, probably the only time in my life as a fan I was actually wishing Jeff Gordon would lead some laps. Would rather have seen him with the title than Jimmie. Then Tony crashes. Somewhere during the commentary, the comment was made that this is the very last chance Tony will have to win. They come back a little later and qualify that they meant last chance to win in a Chevy. But I really wonder, just how going to Toyota will impact his career. Scary. I still think Tony's greed at Kansas cost him the title. Remember that commercial of Dale Jr, joking that he...

Had his day at a dayhome yesterday. He came running to my arms and I asked him how his day went. Not very well he said. Talked to the daycare owner today to tell her I was looking elsewhere. She told me the one problem child is leaving end of November, and the other two problem ones have been given an 8 week probation to improve. I am so torn on what to do. So torn. Dentist for him this morning, really nice checkup, Mommy needs to brush better apparently. No cavities yet, but there is some calcification. OUCH. He is working on his wink, he can wink right, but not left yet. So cute. DD lost another tooth last night, the toothfairy told me she left a $10. DD tells me this morning that the toothfairy left her five....mmmm...little bit of a test there. They grow up so fast, I need to enjoy them more.

It is official, I finally booked the trip to Disneyland in February. I really really wanted a warm birthday for a change, so this year I am getting it. The delay has been DH. He didn't want to go, then he did, then he didn't, back and forth, over and over. arggggggg. Then he had to get approval from his work, and they kept telling him he couldn't book in 2008 till 2008. Not good enough. So Dinseyland, we are on our way. February 7 through the 16th. I am so looking forward to it.

Cancer victim reaches out to other children Photo submitted RCMP members Rick Hawkins, left, and Rod Carleton with Brody Chapman at the Stollery Childrenâ??s Hospital in Edmonton: a photo for his scrapbook. Nov 13 2007 By SUSAN ZIELINSKI Advocate staff Brody Chapman has another photo to add to his scrapbook. The 11-year-old leukemia patient from Eckville was at Edmonton’s Stollery Children’s Hospital recently when RCMP officers, dressed in red serge, stopped by to visit patients. Brody started scrapbooking when his aunt gave him a camera and scrapbook kit after he was diagnosed in April. “He’s had a lot of fun with it,” said his mother Carmen Chapman. Other young patients who saw him putting together his scrapbook thought it was cool, too, she said. Now Brody is raising money for his project Scrapping for Cancer to give every child diagnosed with cancer a free scrapbook kit. About one in 300 people under age 20 are diagnosed each year with cancer in Canada, so Brody wants to raise $12...

My little guy is having a test day at a dayhome tomorrow. From an advertisement I saw in the paper. A very scary day for me. We will see if he will actually stay there tomorrow at dropoff. We went over and met her last week, and he did not want to leave. But who knows. I am a full time working Mom. I have had bad experiences in the last 7 years with dayhomes, registered and private, and daycares. It is a scary scary proposition. He has been at this daycare since April of 2005. I constantly get the please don't make me go mommy, I not go mommy, the tears, they just rip me to shreds. For the last couple of months though, since holidays ended, there has been, staff change after staff change, he moved up a room just before holidays, the daycare is for sale, and I get comments from him. J hit me Mommy. Did you tell an adult? Yes Mommy, who did you tell? He tells me C. So I ask C the next day, she gets a weird look on her face and says no, I didn't see anything. The c...

You keep on watching even though you know what the outcome will be. Thank heavens there is only one race left this year. If there are a streak of 5 in a row I will hurl. This was in the political cartoon area of the paper. I had to laugh.

Artwork from my DD. Poppies row on row.

In Flanders Fields By: Lieutenant Colonel John McCrae, MD (1872-1918) Canadian Army IN FLANDERS FIELDS the poppies blow Between the crosses row on row, That mark our place; and in the sky The larks, still bravely singing, fly Scarce heard amid the guns below. We are the Dead. Short days ago We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow, Loved and were loved, and now we lie In Flanders fields. Take up our quarrel with the foe: To you from failing hands we throw The torch; be yours to hold it high. If ye break faith with us who die We shall not sleep, though poppies grow In Flanders fields. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- McCrae's "In Flanders Fields" remains to this day one of the most memorable war poems ever written. It is a lasting legacy of the terrible battle in the Ypres salient in the spring of 1915. Here is the story of the making of that poem: Although he had been a doctor for years and had served in the South African War, i...

This was played at the Remembrance Day Ceremony at DD school today.

Bank Account of Life A 92-year-old, petite, well-poised and proud man, who is fully dressed each morning by eight o'clock, with his hair fashionably coifed and shaved perfectly, even though he is legally blind, moved to a nursing home today. His wife of 70 years recently passed away, making the move necessary. After many hours of waiting patiently in the lobby of the nursing home, he smiled sweetly when told his room was ready. As he maneuvered his walker to the elevator, I provided a visual description of his tiny room, including the eyelet sheets that had been hung on his window. "I love it," he stated with the enthusiasm of an eight-year-old having just been presented with a new puppy. "Mr. Jones, you haven't seen the room; just wait." "That doesn't have anything to do with it," he replied. "Happiness is something you decide on ahead of time. Whether I like my room or not doesn't depend on how the furniture is arranged. It's how...

The end of the war came on the 11th day of the 11th month at the 11th hour. We were taught this in school, the sad thing is I can remember that but I can never remember whether it was the first or second world war. I believe it was the first. Canada recognized all of our war veterans past, present, living, or dead on this day. It is a statutory holiday, and is a very reverend experience. My maternal grandfather fought in WWI. He was a sniper for the advance troops. He was shot a number of times. He lost fingers because of it, and lived the balance of his life with a bullet against the lining of his heart, back then operations are not what they are today. He went into the war at 16 lieing about his age, a full red head and when he got out he was totally white haired. His sons followed in his footsteps during the Korean War. Even though Canada was there in a peacekeeping role, it was still war. One of my Uncles never fully recovered from the killing he had to do to survive. Afgan...

Truly my little angel, I had this image in my mind of what I was trying to capture, and I just could not translate from my mind, to the camera. Well luvmyvespa came to my aid, and made this absolutely fantastic. I love love love the sun hitting the halo, that was my point of it. I am in love, I cannot wait to pick up the printed copy. So once again thank you. I wanted to do something simple and easy, for little gifts for caregivers at daycare and school from my kids. SOmething they could actually help with, if not do the most of. I thought of doing pringle cans, and then filling with halloween treats, however none of the guys I work with had empty cans. Go figure, any other time there would be tons kicking around. So I bought pringles, was not about to eat them myself so we decorated as is. Now Austin at 4 wanted what was inside but I explained the concept and he got it. He knew that chips were inside and that his caregivers would get to eat them. So we decorated the cans...

Angel wings and halo at sanfransisco $6.00 and the dress at value village $5.99 and truly a happy little angel Ghost Brownies - for those of you that know I don't cook, I actually baked on Sunday. We made rasberry No Pudge Brownies, and then topped them to make them look like ghosts. The kids enjoyed it, first time I have ever baked with DS and second time ever for DD. We then took them in to the staff at daycare on Monday. This pumpkin is so heavy mom My Angelic Alexis
