Life seems to be getting harder and harder these days! As of right now I just want to scream, I am currently just about three hours into a twelve hour fasting for some blood work to be done tomorrow morning--and I am bitchy as hell! I have a long list of tests that are going to be run and there are some results that I am not looking forward to ( Read more... )

As July quickly rolls by I am reminded that my life is the same mundane shit day in and day out. I seem to be like a robot--wake up at the same time daily, make breakfast for the kids,do laundry, clean house,and work, come home swear at the state that my house is in, go to bed and wake up the next day and do it all over again! You have got to be ( Read more... )

So as the end of June swiftly approaches, so does summer holidays--ugh! Sometimes I wish that school here went all year around, but then again that wouldn't be much fun for the kids and parents as well. Things around here are still pretty much the same shit only on a different day. Janelle just tested on Thursday for her blue belt promotion in Tae ( Read more... )

It is just amazing how little things like a new pair of shoes, a shirt, socks and a new bra can make one's day. That is how I felt today, I don't know if it is because I haven't treated myself in so long that I felt like a kid in a candy store or what, but it sure made my day. I actually took the time today to think of myself when out shopping and ( Read more... )

Summer in Edmonton is finally here!!! I can now safely say that as the May long weekend has come and gone and there was no sign of snow!! And believe me it has been known to happen. The sun is shinning, it is well over the 20 degree mark---beautiful, I love it. So as another school year draws to an end--ugh, I am reminded of how much my children ( Read more... )

This past week I did something that I never thought that I would have to do for a very long time, I watched my bestfriend bury her 32 year old husband. I just can't get a grasp on it yet, and I think that it is because he made the decision to end his own life, I just don't know how someone could even think that that was the only way to "escape" ( Read more... )

So I have set things in motion to finally have my tubes tied, which is a good thing healthwise, as having another child would seriously affect my health issues, but it is also very upsetting to know that it is going to be final. I am just waiting for that phone call telling me when my appointment with the specialist is, but it is the waiting that ( Read more... )

It is hard to believe that in just over two months school will be out for the summer, agh! I can't believe that the school year has gone by that quickly, it seems like just yesterday I was walking Janelle to her first day of grade two, and now next September she will be in grade three. My god how time flies, it really puts life into perspective on ( Read more... )

It is so hard to believe that April is just about over already, where does the time go? I am still trying to get a handle on the fact that Madison will be two in just two weeks, my "baby" isn't a baby anymore,she is growing up so fast. I had a chance to "reflect" on just how much time has gone by last weekend when we attended my cousin's wedding, ( Read more... )

While out watching some out of town friends sons' hockey tournament today I received some rather heart wrentching news. A very near and dear friend of mine(well both of Chris and I) is once again very sick, amd this is the second time around for her, literally and I am scared. Quite a few years ago she was stricken with TTP--it is a form of blood ( Read more... )
