A Poor Blogging Work Ethic
This is one of the few times in my life when I am actually reluctant to write. I do have things to write and a deadline looming, but I cannot sit down and put words to paper. I have instead found a host of things to distract me. I have been looking through scrapbooking and card making books looking...

Out Of Exile
I know that I have been away for a while, and my last post wasn't very positive. I have some e-mails from my friends here, wondering if I'm OK. Let me say first off, I am fine. I'm sad, tired and disheartened, but I am fine. My grandfather is hanging in there, tough old bird that he is. I think that...

Losing and Loss
I suspect that everyone goes through times in their lives of loss. Sometimes I have to wonder if the universe, with it's perverse sense of timing, willfully piles up these losses on us, one upon the other, just to see how well we do with it all. My Dad called yesterday to tell me that his father, my...

There Is A Reason There Is A Helpless Father Stereotype
You would not believe the things that I have to do to get out of the house for some time off. My husband, an intelligent capable man, who can organize, design, built and run multi-million dollar projects cannot seem to handle getting two little girls fed, dressed and out to the park. What is it...

Assuming the Role
Sometimes you just gotta go with the stereotype. Those of you who are long time readers will know that I am not a delicate flower when it comes to life. I can change my own tire, do my own plumbing, and deal with the finances of my house. And if you want something blown up... I'm your gal! But being...

The Joy Of Homemade Play Dough
I needed some rainy day stuff to do with the the girls. We have no other plans for the day and it has been cool and rainy, so not much fun to play outside. Yesterday Emily and I tried out a recipe for Kool-aid play dough. 1 cup flour (sifted) ½ cup salt 1 pkg unsweetened Kool-aid 3 tbsp. Vegetable...

Well, That Was What I Expected.
After having tended to my ex during after his two skin cancer “surgeries” I knew what to expect. And that is pretty much what I got. A patch of skin, oval shaped, about the size of my palm was taken out. I explained to the doctor that I am training for a marathon and to make sure my stitches weren't...

When Good Freckles Go Bad.
I'm having a little minor surgery today. I'm getting a mole removed (I always thought it was a freckle... but clearly I know nothing). It is showing signs of cancer. I doubt I will miss it, in fact because it's on my back I never see it. It was a complete fluke that I discovered it in the first...

Bilingual Country, Bilingual Children
Canada is officially a bi-lingual country, French and English. Although in reality there are many other languages that are probably as commonly used in different communities. Interestingly enough though we don't promote and use our official second language in Canada as much as our southern...

I Kicked My Husband Out Today
You know the coffee tastes a little better today while I am writing, because I am at home alone. I decided today that I needed to have my time off to write and despite birthday parties for the girls this weekend, groceries to get and chores to do, I still needed it, or I would probably snap. So I...
