Another Thing “They” Never Told Me.........
“They” never told me that I would be in bed at 8:00pm with my baby girl beside me. Listening to every raspy breath and every cough and constantly brushing damp hair from her face, checking the progress of her fever. “They” never told me that I would breath in time with her, and hold my breath...

Sadness, Joy and What Family Is All About
My brother and niece came over to visit yesterday. SIL stayed home, she wasn't feeling well. I didn't realize how unwell until my brother arrived at the door. He looked, well, he looked old. He is taking on the role of associate pastor at his church and this month has been a bad one for the...

I Did The Poll – Now Here is The Answer
A week ago (maybe more?) I asked if there would be any interest in a travel blog about my adventures when I was much younger (and fitter lol) with some pictures of the places I have been. I had some positive response so I will be starting up the Blog soon. I have created and named it – With A Maple...

Yes, I'm Cheap, and The Software Is Free!
The new computer needed new software. Let's face it, how much work can you really get done with MSOfficeNotes? My answer – none! It sucks. We had software on the Mac that didn't translate to the Toshiba, and we have a very senior citizen like office suite on the old desktop. So I phoned mom and...

Running Away!
I ran away this morning. With my husband home for a half day I took advantage of him and went for a long run. After my little accident last week when I hurt my ribs I've had to take it easy. This week I have resumed the routine and ran a pretty decent 6.5 km in an hour. I'm hoping to get up to 7 or...

Loneliness and The Writer
Having had my computer away at the shop, and being reluctant to write extensively on the old computer, knowing that I would have to transfer everything forth and back, I felt very lonely. Yes, I missed my blogging buddies, and my e-mail friends, but mostly I missed writing. I missed the comfort that...

Blogit, Secrets, Lies and Identities
This topic comes up often on Blogit, the perception that some of us are honest in our blogs and some of us are not. Generally I take what I read here at face value, and assume the best intentions of the writer. But the truth is, you can’t believe what I write here. I could be anyone, writing...

With Friends Like Me, Who Needs Enemies?
No one wants to be a kill-joy. But lately I have been taking my life, and everyone else’s pretty seriously. I was talking to a friend on the phone and suddenly I had an overwhelming urge to let him know exactly how fruitless it all is. Despite being a recycler and conservationist, I know that it is...

Well It's About Freakin' Time
The computer nerds finally called (at 10:00 last night) and told me my computer was ready to pick up... So Hopefully I will be back blogging (and commenting!) and writing tonight. (Keep your fingers crossed!)

“Jumpin’ Jaysus!”
As my Father-in-law would say in his best Newfie accent. Mostly around this house we shorten it up to “Jumpin’!” I learned my lesson after Rachel started running around saying “Christ” all the time. (I’m a bad mom… sue me!) I just got off the phone with the only guy at the tech shop who would tell...
