SO Who am I?

This is from Nancy's blog who got it from all things pink I like the idea totally.

So, who am I?

How do I answer this?

"I think I’ll start with a list and maybe work on my Book of Me for an entire month. If you want to do this with me, then please do! I don’t mean a calendar month, but maybe over the next 30 days. We can start tomorrow if you want. Or whenever you want. I want mine to work like this:"

30 days of: words, pictures, art - period.

"So, for now, let’s come up with 30 words and starting tomorrow, it’s one picture of ourselves per day for 30 days. Think we can do it? No one is holding you to it, so if you skip a day, then fine. No biggy. But, each day, turn that word and your picture into some form of art. I’m going to just do a mini book I think. It will help me to feel better about me and embrace me. And, it will be a way to allow myself to be creative for me. There is a lot of therapy in creativity. Let’s try it."

My 30 words that define who I am:

1- adventursome
2- caring
3- mother
4- wife
5- independent
6- reader
7- shy
8- sensitive
9- loyal
10- hard-working
11- guarded
12- woman
13- history
14- busy
15- overweight
16- naturalist
17- serious
18- curious
19- opinionated
20- overwhelmed
21- moody
22- chronic pain
23- accountant
24- on-time
25- impatient
26- creative
27- photos
28- traditionalist
29- open minded
30- family

If there are spelling mistakes, I will correct them as I go along.

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.
