| Wow this is still here and it has been almost a year since my last entry.
I'm having a doll size cup o tea w/ the chick.
So much has happened in the last year.....I have very few friends in real life and those that remain aren't close. I guess I ought to be thankful for them.
Being an extrovert this can be lonesome but I'm trying to concentrate more on my progeny.
2 years of no sleep contributed I'm sure to pairing down my relationships with people. Got rid of the dross, I guess.
This is uplifting! | | |
| We went skating today outdoors. The second time this week. It's so invigorating! I love after it's all over and I'm back in my boots and it feels positively balmy outside when it's actually really @#$%in' cold.
the Chick is passed out still from the outing which she slept through entirely.
HB, though it's only her second time out after being elated the first time learning to skate, has decided she's done with skating and if we go again will just wear her boots. Ahhhh! I can't keep up! She is a bit sniffly and may be coming down with something so perhaps she'll be game next time. I can only hope.
We don't really do much as a family outside the house. At least this is something the hub and I enjoy together!

| Today's the day my daddy died 9 years ago.
I would never have believed I could live so long without him.
He was soooooo kind and compassionate.
I'll never forget walking into his hospital room the week before he did die. The look on his face was total love and acceptance. It still makes tears well up to think of it. Thank goodness for him and that inconditional love. I really needed that and the thought of it continues to comfort me.
He had beautiful eyes and a beautiful heart.
He was always so self-deprecating but he was loved by alot of people because he was genuinely interested in the lives of others and was a great listener and rarely judged.
I was so fortunate to have a man like that in my life.
I'm giving thanks

| Well Day 2 of 8 days off at my job. I have a very nice boss. She takes care of me. She's also pregnant and everyone asks if I'm going to step up for her mat. leave. NO WAY. I'm not going to work 44 hours / week spend an hour commuting when the Chick will just be 2 by that time. I couldn't do it anyway. I don't want to get sucked in there. I need to leave and pursue something that really makes my heart sing and set a good example dammit! I want my girls to follow their hearts and their heads when they pursue a career and not put off their dreams because they aren't practical. Well they might well learn by their daddy's example but I still want to go back to university!!!!
This book I'm reading is veeeery engaging. | | |
| It's actually serene here today.
Finally some snow has fallen, more seasonable for this time of year.
HB's at school which would explain why it's alot calmer.
Dh is tearing down walls which were temporary anyway to accomodate the building of his booth for IDS2004 all this is happening where your livingroom would be.
I don't mind it's only for a coupla dusty months.
