Twelve years. It doesn't seem that long in the scheme of things - but when you've spent it without your mom, it seems like a loooong time. There's been a lot of changes in twelve years. I did the parental 'sit by your kids bed and watch them sleep' last night and thought about where my life has … [Read more...]
Prepping For Sandy!
Man do I love a good storm. Seriously. Okay I have friends who have been evacuated from their homes in the States ...so that's a bit much. But bring on some non-hurricane rain and wind and I'm all over it. I'm trying to figure out if Will is the same. He has a fascinating trait with storms … [Read more...]
Just a Random Vent on Memories
Next week, November 2nd, it will be twelve years since my mom died. Twelve years. Four and a half years ago, I had Will. Tonight, I watched Parenthood. Christina went in for her cancer surgery and they had a scene where her husband and family were in the waiting room while she was in … [Read more...]
You Gotta Have Friends…But a BFF??
I have two favourite times of the day. The first happens usually around 6:10 when the bean lying next to me starts to shift around, poke me in the legs to make sure I'm there, and then he smiles and comes out with his first nugget of the day:Mom. Uncle John in the coolest dude.Mom. You … [Read more...]
My Daddy’s a Rockstar!!!
I don't obsess over Will not having a dad. It's funny. You know what you know and since he's never had one, this is our normal. Frankly, besides Father's Day or when Will is doing something particularly annoying (which he couldn't POSSIBLY have inherited from me), I don't really think about his … [Read more...]
No Penguin For You!
Now that Will is a seasoned school veteran...you know, two months into JK, I'm starting to get into this whole school thang - and I love it.I'm on the Board at his daycare; I've gone in to meet with his kindergarten teacher; and I'm looking forward to getting involved with his school. I was a … [Read more...]
The Cheerleader!
After all these back and forth posts on nighttime toilet training, the boy decided last weekend that he was done with diapers. We've done a ton of laundry (did I say 'we'??) BUT we've also had two dry nights. Including one where he ate asparagus for dinner and ended up in my bed....I was … [Read more...]
I Ain’t No RuPaul – But I’m Closer!
I have a love/hate relationship with makeup. Actually I don't. I have a hate relationship with it. It derives itself from two main places: A. Hallowe'en. I don't like Hallowe'en. I loathe dressing up and I don't really like a candy so it was sort of a lost 'holiday' for me. I especially … [Read more...]
2013 Chevy Malibu – The Grown Up Car!
Last month, I had the amazing opportunity to drive the Cabot Trail in Nova Scotia in the new 2013 Chevy Malibu. F-A-B. Keep in mind, I am the small, hatchback queen. My wheels have always been low to the ground and small. Returning from a few days behind the wheel of the Malibu have left me … [Read more...]
Flashbacks….
Do you ever have moments of pure flashback? Where you feel like you're back reliving a moment in time, as if it's happening right now? I had that last night. I was watching The Amazing Race and I had this insane flashback to the thick of my postpartum depression, when I would sit … [Read more...]
