Off Out On A Girl's Day

Today Megan and I went out on our girls day to have lunch at the Old Spaghetti Factory then onto see the stage production of Annie....we had a great day, and Megan enjoyed the show. She didn't enjoy the show as much as I thought she would, they changed a lot of the scenes (different then the movie)....but it was a nice day out....and the weather made it that much nicer!

At My Godmothers

Tonight at my GodMothers we had dinner with Leigh, James, Brenden and of coarse my godmother Pennie, Megan, Ken and I.....it was a great meal, great company, but rotten allergies (yes that's me!) I had a bad allergy attack and had NO medication with me.....felt terrible, had to leave early and got home to get medication. My godmother used to have cats (2 years ago), but I guess that's what was doing it.

Spring is Coming!

Went to my godmothers house today and as we pulled in the driveway but what could we see a bird having a feed....what a sight...spring is coming!

Fiddler?

This week Megan has preformed in 3 performances of Fiddler on the Roof. This 1st picture is of her after the show. The next pciture is of a full picture of her in her costume. The show was fantastic, well done, especially for a school production. It involved every grade from JK to Grade 12 on a volunteer basis.

In Costume for Fiddler

What???

Well this morning has been crazy already. We all get up, Megan and Ken have their breakfast together as usual, and then off Ken goes to work. I get Megan ready for school, uniform on, hair done, make her lunch and pack her backpack. We leave the house at 7:15 am....that's when it happens...the phone call...it is the call to say "the school is having a snow day today."....Snow day??? There isn't any falling...they said no not yet but it is in anticipation of it, and because 90% of the students are bussed in they don't want to chance it for the way home....well this makes me call my husband to tell him. Work hasn't been exceptionally busy for him since it has been so cold out so far this year (he work is based on weather) and he said I guess I'll have to cancel all the jobs then and come back home....I feel bad since it is not bad weather yet and he could work....this is where the dilemma comes in should I stay or should I go??? Oh to have a Mom I know she'd be here in a heartbeat!

Yahooo! Megan's afterschool program is able to take her today they have the room, but they are closing at 4pm so she must be picked up by then! It looks like it will be a better day then I thought!

Ripped Off!

You know somedays I feel really ripped off.....what do I mean? Well when people talk about their Mom's and what they do for them, that sort of thing makes me feel ripped off.....I lost my Mom and I'd wish for anything just to her have her back again, but that's not how it happens. You know I just try to fill my life with doing things with my husband and daughter since I have learnt that life is too short to sit around and waste it, so this means going out for meals every weekend, going to movies, walks (when it's warmer out), and going on vacations. These things make me happy and people seem to forget that I would trade all of these things just to have my Mom back.

When our mothers die, this is what we lose. We lose the person who celebrates our accomplishments and worries in the struggles we have; the person who thinks we can win every race, and succeed at anything thrown at us; the person who protects our every move (emotionally and physically), she's given us guidance and that she knows best. She is the person who puts you up high and makes people see that. All in all I feel like I've lost my biggest fan the person whom I could always turn to in times of struggle; although it was 3 1/2 years ago the pain of my loss it still there everyday, and I'm sure that I will feel it the rest of my life.
There's nothing like a mother's love and support and I miss that!

Because I Said So!

Tonight I went to the movies with Yvonne, we saw Because I Said So, it was a great movie, I great laugh and when it comes to video I will be buying it!

Happy Valentines Day! Or Happy Snow Day!

Happy Valentine's Day! And actually it is Happy Snow Day as well.....or is it happy? Megan isn't happy at all she was really looking forward to handing her Valentine's out to her friends today...oh well there is always tomorrow. Ken is having truck problems, and if you don't know that means for him, it means it is Ken's office on wheels, that is his job. So it HAS to get it fixed and quick! He thinks it is the Cadillac converter (whatever that is)......anyway I'm off to sit and watch the snow!

Cheeky Face!

Look at that grin is it cheeky or what??

Happy 30th Birthday Leigh!
