Big Brother told me that he stood up for his sister.

That boy was laughing at her, and I said, "Don't laugh at her. That's my sister."Now, the boy in question was about four years old, and Sister is two years old, so he likely was not laughing at her in any malicious way, but the point was that Big Brother(6) thought that it was mean, and he was ( Read more... )

N.S., the victim witness in a trial against two men accused of sexual assault, wishes to wear a niqab in court while testifying against the defendants. This has gone to the Supreme Court, who has basically put it back to the trial judge, stating that these issues must be decided on a case-by-case basis, using the following four criteria:

I am moving back to my house. The tenants are gone, and we are renovating the basement for my homeschool/playroom, and putting an office in the garage for Brian. We have been back and forth moving slowly from our apartment in Orangeville to our old home in Oshawa.

Oh, and by the way.... I am not sick anymore. I am 24 weeks, and I FINALLY stopped throwing up all my food just in the last three weeks. It was brutal.

Somewhat ( Read more... )

We are actually paying them to leave, as well as writing off the month's rent that they owe, and the half-finished fence that we paid them to build.

I don't know if I mentioned this, but I am pregnant again. I actually got pregnant within weeks of my last miscarrige. Which was wonderfully unexpected. I am also SICK. Which was less-wonderfully unexpected. I have never been this sick with a pregnancy before. I have just completely dropped out of life. In the morning, my loyal husband gets up with ( Read more... )

We lost our baby. We named him Samuel Job. Of course it was too early to know the gender, but I just decided he was a boy, because the last time I miscarried, we decided it was a girl, and named her Emmeline Rose. It helps me to choose a name, because the baby was a person in particular, rather than have this overwhelming amorphous sadness about a ( Read more... )
