We just got out of the movie Logan. Goodness it was sad! I wasn’t expecting that. My hubby, of course, was. However, Logan is one of his favourite heroes and definitely his favourite x-man. He read the comic, Old Man Logan, which is what the movie was based on, when he was a kid. So, assuming they stuck to the story, he knew what was going to happen. I didn’t. Wow! I don’t want to say too much, because I don’t want to ruin it for those of you planning on seeing it. It was good though. Entertaining and all that…just too sad😞.

Other than the movie, I had a really lazy day today. The kids were home today, as it was a pd day and there was no school. I played made up golf and power rangers with my son. I watched a couple tv shows with my oldest. My middle daughter was out with friends for most of the day and my hubby actually went into the office instead of working from home. I had to buy tickets for the year end show for my daughter’s dance, even though the show isn’t until June. The tickets were $25 each. That seems crazy for a kids dance show, but I guess that they have to pay for the theatre rental and all that. My parents are going to have a hard time this year, because my sister’s girls dance show is on the same day this year! Hopefully they have an afternoon show…or else I don’t know what they’re going to do. Every other year we’ve been lucky and haven’t had any overlap like that. Puts them in a tough spot! Hoping for the afternoon show. I guess we’ll see. I’m going to go inside now, we just got home and I’m sitting in the driveway finishing this! Night all💤😴

Bad News

Bad news hits hard!

Like a punch in the gut!

Leaves you stuttering,

Questions, like w-what?

Out of the blue,

Words you don’t want to hear:

No, not her!

Not one so dear!

Fear roils inside,

Leaving you queasy.

What ever happened,

To when life was easy?

Too many questions,

The most important being why?

Why her? Why now?

Is it all a lie?

No answers come,

Just quiet and the unknown.

Leaves me feeling sick,

And quite alone…

Dance Competition Season Is Almost Here!!

Competition season is right around the corner! Dance competitions, I mean. My daughter is a dancer and competitions begin in the spring. We received the times for her first two competitions. She’s in eight different dances this year. Ballet, jazz, lyrical, lyrical line, lyrical solo, hip hop, modern and production. Two of her competitions are in Fort Saskatchewan this year, at the Dow Centre. This is also where her dance school held pre-comp. the studio realizes how often they dance on that stage, so it makes sense to practice there. When my daughter did her solo for pre-comp she was a nervous wreck! She said that she wishes she didn’t have a solo now…she’d rather have a duo or trio – then at least you’re not alone!! But, I guess, she’s going to have to suck it up, because she asked us if she could have a solo and we’ve paid for her to have a solo! Also, it’s already registered at all of the competitions that she’s in. I guess she’ll, hopefully, get used to it! I hope I get used to it…I think that I was just as nervous as her while I was watching it!! My tummy felt anxious and i was freaking out a bit (on the inside!!). This is her first year with a solo, obviously, I guess if she decides that she hates it, we can try a duo or trio next year. But she’s stuck with it for this year! It’s a beautiful dance and, if she just dances without dreaming out too much, she’ll do just fine I’m sure!! Her first competition, at the end of March, is exclusively a hip hop competition, so she doesn’t have to do her solo until the next competition, in April. I love going to the competitions. It’s nice to get to watch her dance. They can get a bit long, some styles of dance blur into each other, but for the most part, I really enjoy it! I’m off to bed now. Night all💤😴

Stay At Home Me!

We’re not going to LA for sure. I’m disappointed that’s for sure, but it’s just not the sensible thing to do. We really can’t afford it – it would stretch us way to thin. If we went and then something unforeseeable were to happen, like our furnace craps out or whatever, we would have nothing left to fall back on. What a stressful way to live right?? This cheque to cheque existence gets exhausting after a while. I can’t help but think how different it would be if I were working! The thing is, it’s such a risk. If I decided to try working and I couldn’t do it, my disability would be gone. And, let me tell you, getting approved for CPP disability was not a cakewalk!! It took forever and, although I don’t get much, I get a little bit and every little bit helps! Over the years of being sick I made myself look at things differently – because at first, when I couldn’t work I was devastated, all that work and years of education felt wasted – I realized that many people envied me, because I got to be home with my kids; while they were little and all through school, for many that was a privilege not a bad thing. I reframed it in my head (and without my education I wouldn’t have known about reframing) to see all of the good things that came out of my being at home. Also, we’ve kept my Psychologists registration current and it’s not like my education can go anywhere!! So here I am, an educated, stay at home mom, living cheque to cheque, lucky to get the time with my family. I’m truly blessed, even if I’m not wealthy!! Night all💤😴

TV Shows Are A Changing…

I’m tired today. I stayed up too late reading last night! It’s my own fault. I have no one to blame but myself! I finally forced myself to put my book down, even though I was really into it. With my oldest being sick and my hubby having a horrible chest cold, I need my sleep. I catch bugs much too easily, so I need to take care of myself! My daughter and I were just watching Rizzoli and Isles, a tv show based on books I’ve read. I really enjoy the show, but we only have one episode left until the series is over (we’re watching it on the android box). It makes me so sad when you’re into a really good series and they go and end it! Very disappointing! We also watch Bones together, another tv series based on books that I read. This is the final season on Bones too! I think it’s been around a lot longer than Rizzoli and Isles though, 15 years or something! That is one show I’m definitely going to miss!! Maybe I don’t have much of a life, I don’t know. Or maybe it’s because it’s something, especially Bones, I’ve watched with my oldest for years now! It’s been one of our favourites for a long time, so it feels like the end of something. I’m wondering if that’s why the fact that it’s coming to an end bothers me so mucc?! Probably at least a big part of it. We have other shows that we watch together, but Bones was one of the first we started watching together when she started becoming interest in older people shows… well, not “adult” shows – lol that sounds bad – what I mean is, not children’s programming. If that makes more sense!! Yep!! I’m going to miss Bones. It’s our weekly tradition! Only five more episodes to go! Huh…goodbye CSI, goodbye Bones, Goodbye Rizzoli and Isles, screwed too much with Criminal Minds…what is going on??? Night all💤😴

My daughter has been having a problem with her ear, on again off again, for the past month! She gets the feeling that it’s totally plugged and then feels major pressure and pain. She went to work today, but came home a couple of hours early. Crying because the pain was sooo bad. Something is definitely wrong and she’s been told by more than one dr that nothing is wrong. So today I went with her to the Heritage medicentre, because the line wasn’t as bad as the elerslie one, which is closer. At the clinic, after only waiting for 45 minutes, we made it in. The doctor took one look inside her ear and sucked in his breath and said it was majorly inflamed! It’s been so sore, she was crying at bedtime last night too. So, third times a charm, he gave her some heavy duty antibiotics and hopes they’ll kill off whatever is going on. He didn’t believe it was viral. Which was good, because it certainly didn’t take care of clearing itself up over the passed month and the plugged ear affects her work, because she can’t hear the passengers- which is rather important!! And it’s just such bad pain she can’t focus, but hates having to keep missing work! So, fingers and toes crossed that the antibiotics actually help matters and things get better!! By the time we got back home, the fryer chicken that I had in the oven was passed done and my hubby did the potatoes and veggies to go with the chicken. It was a late supper and we were all starving! Frankly, I thought he should have gone ahead and eaten without us, but he was waiting for me to make gravy…at least I know I’m needed for the really important things…lol!! After supper, it was so late that I played with my son, hide and seek, then we got ready for bed and here we are!! Night all💤😴

Yay Me!

For once I can say that I had a productive day! 👏🏼Yay me!👏🏼 We’ve had these four bins of my “stuff” in our hallway for probably about four years now…from when I had my brain surgery and my hubby and my dad did our bedroom floors. Since we knew I’d be gone for a while, my hubby and my dad thought It’d be the perfect time to pull out the rugs and put in laminate. I told my hubby that he wasn’t allowed to throw any of my things out – hence the bins – but obviously it wasn’t stuff that I was dying to have, since it sat there for the past four years!! My wedding dress was in there, plus some other keep sakes, all of my classroom materials from when I taught Intro-psych at Concordia, but the majority of it was stuff I didn’t need. We went from four bins, down to one, which we’ll keep in the storage room, not the hallway!! It looks so much better! I also went through one of my son’s toy boxes with him. I’d rather do it without him, I would have been able to get rid of more, but we got rid of a bit and organized it better. So, yes, a productive day for once!! My nose hasn’t stopped running from all of the dust that we stirred up, but I’m not complaining, it feels good to get something done!! Tonight we just relaxed and watched tv.

I’m pretty sure we decided not to go to LA. My parents don’t want us to spend the money and it’s stressing my hubby out, because of the money, so we probably won’t go. I really wish we could. However, money makes the world go round, right? And without it, there are sacrifices one must make. I think talking to my cousin yesterday made me want to go even more, but the smart thing to do would be to stay home…I’m feeling sniffley and tired now, stupid dust! Nothing that a shower won’t cure, but I’m waiting until the morning. Too tired tonight, and the dishwasher is going, so hot water would be an issue!! Night all💤😴

To Go, Or Not To Go

Today my hubby and I spent forever going over money and looking at costs, trying to figure out if we should fly to California for my Auntie’s funeral. I also spoke with my cousin, Barabara today. She’s sounding pretty good, considering her mom just passed away, she’s not planning the funeral and her dad’s beside himself with grief. It was nice to connect with her. She’d love to see us, but really doesn’t want us to break the bank to come. We didn’t really make a final decision. The funeral isn’t until next Sunday, March 5th. So, we obviously have to decide soon. My gut says that we probably won’t end up going. It’ll leave us pretty broke if we do. I’d really like to, but understand the financial constraints that we have. It’s very frustrating.

Other than that, not a whole lot going on today. I didn’t even leave the house today. I woke up and stayed up early today. My hubby and I watched a movie this morning on the Android box called, Arrival…I think that’s what it was called. Now my mind is blanking. It was okay. It’s not on my top ten list, but it wasn’t horrible either. It was interesting. I didn’t talk to my parents today, but mom thought they’d make it to Vegas this evening, then drive the rest of the way tomorrow. It’s almost as easy for my hubby and I to fly to Vegas and get to my Uncle’s house as it is the LAX. My uncle is about a three hour drive from LAX and it’s about a four hour drive to my uncle’s from Vegas. Also, Vegas flights are cheaper! (Told you we looked at everything!) Oh! My little man is awake. I gotta run! Night all💤😴

RIP Auntie Janet

My Auntie Janet passed away this morning. I wrote a poem about her and my uncle Joe a few days ago. It was basically saying goodbye. It spoke of their love for each other. They’ve been married for 68 years‼️ Wowza that’s a long time! Not surprisingly, he’s devastated. I feel very badly for him. That is a lifetime to spend with someone. My mom and dad are on their way to LA. Knowing this was coming and that my cousin could use some help, they left yesterday. They chose to drive today. I spoke with them from Idaho this evening. I guess my uncle is devastated, but also has dementia himself. So at times, he’s lucid and fine and then at other times, he’s confused and angry. This probably will make things even more difficult on him. My mom and dad won’t arrive until sometime Saturday. Im trying to decide if I need to fly to LA or not. My hubby said that I can, if I really want to, but it will be severely stretching the budget…a lot! I’m torn. Part of me says, yes of course I’m going, while another part says, are you crazy?! So I’m not sure how to proceed. I don’t even know where I’d stay if I did go. Maybe my parents have a pull-out couch in their hotel room…who knows!? I know I have to decide soon. For now I’m going to go to bed and get some rest. I’ve been really tired all day & I just don’t know why! Night all💤😴

Relax! Do Nothing!

I’m ready for bed right now! But…I have to write something short first. Most of today was pretty lazy for me. My oldest was home sick from work and my other daughter was home from school. So, we spent most of the day watching tv…pretty productive I know! Neither of them were feeling that great and it’s not everyday that it’s just the three of us girls. It was kind of nice. Despite not doing a lot, I had a good day with them. This evening after dropping my dancer off at dance (she wanted to go watch even though she didn’t feel great!!) we went to Toys-R-Us. My son had some money saved up and wanted to buy himself something with “his own money”. He wanted a Hatchimal, but – surprise surprise – they were sold out! He looked at a LOT of toys, but finally decided on a furr-real-friend. It’s a little pug puppy that jumps up and barks and pants like a dog…our dogs hate it!! My oldest bought herself an adult sized Captain America shield. She wanted to buy the $400 metal, 75th anniversary Captain America shield, but I talked her out of it. I told her that it was outrageous and over the top! So she decided on the cheaper one, thank goodness! After the toy store, which actually took quite a while, we went to the airport to drop off the key fob for our car that was parked there, so my hubby had a way home when his flight came in. (Because my oldest hasn’t been at work, -he originally parked and locked the keys in the car and she was going to use the fob to open it and drive home after work – he was going to land to have a vehicle waiting for him that he couldn’t get into!!) Then we came home. The “kids” opened their “toys” (ya ya, I know one of them is 19!!!) and then it was basically bed time. And here I am…end of story! That’s my day! Night all💤😴
