The update changed the formatting a bit. It’s a different system for putting tags in. Even though I use the same tags for every post!! It’s just easier. Although it could be disappointing to some. If you search TN and I came up (eventually…)! and it was a day that I hadn’t even talked about that topic!! I don’t think I come up at the top of search engines though! Thank goodness!!

My daughter and I just had to find a way to attach her sleeping bag and her thermarest to her duffle bag that she is bringing with her on the grade nine camping trip. For some reaso, they have to have all of their things attached together. So we found my luggage strap and we put her sleeping g bag and thermarest on top of the duffle bag, then we wrapped the luggage strap around it all and tightened it. Now she has it all together. It’s pretty awkward and big, but it’s all there. I wish I was going with her. I could see how her and her friends with dead phones – lol

I think I’m starting to do the fall asleep thing. I’m not sure why I’m so darn tired that this is going to be a short post. I’m messing up every letter that I type. We didn’t eat too much today anyway. It was a full day but I didn’t really do much if that makes sense. I had to pick up a couple things from buy an sell. I got new shorts, as well as a new sweater. This morning sucked I had to miss my yoga class, I was so disappointed. We slept in and by the time I got Gabe to the pool for swimming with his school my class was already half over. Boo Hoo! After supper tonight my son and I only went on the trampoline. We thought it had little sticks and leaves all over it. So, my son was playing with them, but when he looked closer at it the stick with moving was moving! It wasn’t a stick at all!! The trampoline was covered in tiny little baby worms that had fallen out of the tree! So so gross! Gross!! We couldn’t believe it they both quickly screamed and jumped off. I ran into the house and grabbed the broom. Then I braved the trampoline and swept all the little worms off. Again, I say gross. It gave me the heebie-jeebies! Even now I still feel a crawling sensation – yuck yuck yuck! The things you do for your kids…

Night all! 💤😴

Slightly Better…

Had a full day today. My daughter (younger) is feeling better – mostly. At least she didn’t throw up today! So, that’s a good thing. She still felt tired and nauseous, but didn’t actually get sick. So, hopefully, she’s on the mend. She has her math final tomorrow, so I Hope that she’s feeling okay tomorrow. My oldest was throwing up in the night again last night. She didn’t get sick today either, but also didn’t feel 100%. What a nasty bug this has been. And it’s been at such an inconvenient time! Not that you can plan these things. But, if you could, this past week would not have been our first choice!

This week, from Wednesday to Friday is my daughter’s Grade 9 farewell Jasper camping trip. She was pretty beat today. But instead of just studying and relaxing, she needed to get everything ready for camping, because they have to bring their bags to the school tomorrow. We had to find the therma-rest, sleeping bag, buy snacks, buy a rain coat, get the sun block and bug spray, do laundry, etc. This stuff is not fun to do when you don’t feel great. I how that she’s feeling better by Wednesday. You’d think that she would be, since it was this past Wednesday that she started getting sick. I’m thinking that’s a pretty long time for a stomach bug…isn’t it?? My tummy still isn’t great either. I haven’t thrown up like my girls, but I’ve felt super nauseous the past few days. Yuck! I Hopefully one day I’ll get it right, or at least have fun, while about it I write!!” My oldest daughter is feeling better for our yoga class tomorrow morning. I’d still go if she felt sick and decided to stay home, but I enjoy doing it with her. It’s like our thing. I didn’t do my yoga DVD at all this past week! Oops! I meant to, I had really good intentions -I always say that life gets in the way of my good intentions! I feel like this last week flew by! I don’t know how that happens. You feel like you have all this time, then suddenly a week or two have gone by. Bam! Just like that!

My dancer and went to Walmart today. To find a fidget spinner for my son and to find her a raincoat for her camping trip. We had a really fun time in Walmart! I know that probably sounds silly, but, respite not feeling great, she was in a silly mood and she was dancing to the music and balancing things in her head and just being silly! I need to hang onto these moments with my kids. It won’t be long until she’s done high school and starting her “adult” life. These next few years are precious…so, yes, we had fun in Walmart. We were silly and took forever and I’m glad. I love her in all of her silliness!! And now I have to go hang up her laundry, then get to bed! Night all! 💤😴

Sicky At the Recital!!

It’s a late night tonight, because of my daughter’s year end dance recital. By the time we got home and then ready for bed, it got late! My poor girl. She definitely wasn’t ready for a full day of dance…there are two recitals, an afternoon one and an evening one. We had tickets for the evening one. My hubby drove my daughter to Fort Saskatchewan (they have the recital at the Dow) this morning around 10:45. I had to take my son to a birthday party at 12:30. Once he got home, we played Monument Valley 2, had something to eat, then left around 4:50 for the evening show. Apparently, my dancing girl was fine all afternoon, but after she finished her jazz and they did Hairspray, I could tell something was off. She started to feel sick again. She was probably doing too much, after being so sick. There was an intermission and then she started texting me, saying that she didn’t feel good at all and she wasn’t sure if she could dance. She did lyrical line, but didn’t look too great (not her dancing, she was pale and kept grimacing) a couple dances later washer small group lyrical. She was in her costume, ready to go on and just before going on, she ran to the garbage can back stage and started throwing up (of course, in her white costume)! During the next intermission I found her in the dressing room throwing up in a garbage can…poor girl. She really wanted to dance, but her body was saying no! When she seemed to finish, we sat in the audience and watched her dances, it was kind of fun for her, because her teachers borrowed her costumes and filled in for her. So she got to watch them dance in her place. She went on stage for the finale (there’s not much strenuous dancing in it!) and she sat on stage with her friends for the awards. She won the Excellence In Dance award, for the intermediate level, along with two other girls. Three were picked by the teachers as a group (it had to be unanimous) for each level, junior, intermediate and senior. Two of her best friends from school came with us to watch (even though she missed a few dances in the end…) Once the awards were done, we got back in the van, bought Wendy’s for everyone (except our sicko) and drove home. She made it all the way to Beaumont, then started feelin puky again when we were dropping off her friends. We gave her an empty Wendy’s bag to throw up in, but she missed the bag and got it all over my van. Yuck! Blech! Gross! She got it on herself a bit when she was getting out of the van. I’m too tired to take care of it tonight. I’ll have to do it tomorrow, my tummy feels a bit nauseous and I’m tired. Eventful day. Now I’m going to get to bed. Night all! 💤😴

Another Sicko – My Oldest

Another day, another sick kiddo!! My oldest had to come home early from work today, because she was throwing up at work. Fun stuff – in a public toilet – blech!!! So gross! She felt sick and actually threw up once prior to work, but she tried to suck it up and go anyway. However, after about an hour she yelled out her supervisor’s name and the word bathroom. He nodded and she ran and, fortunately made it on time!! After that, he sent her home. So they said that they needed people to early-depart today, so it won’t look like a sick day on her record. Also, tomorrow she has off because they had too many hours scheduled and needed people to take the day off anyway, so since they knew she was sick, they asked her! I hate to say it, but my tummy isn’t feeling that great right now. It’s a little nauseous and gurgley and it feels like diarrhea coming on, although I haven’t had any yet. I’m in denial. My daughter’s year end recital is tomorrow night and I refuse to be sick during it. So I will hopefully get through the night and tomorrow ,then I can feel sick!

What a long day tomorrow is going to be for my dancing girl!! She isn’t 200% yet, she gets tired really easily and tomorrow is long and exhausting. And she has2 shows to do, an afternoon one and the evening one. It will be very long. My fingers are crossed that she’s feeling better tomorrow. She gets a bit better each day, so hopefully that continues tomorrow.

The way I’m feeling right now? I really really do not want to do anything else here tonight. I just want to cut this short and get as much rest as I can. I just don’t want to be overtired as well as, sick. So, on that note, I’m going to hit the hay‼️ Night all! 💤😴

Still Sick…

My dancer is still sick. She just threw up the medicine that I tried to give her. Poor girl. We keep thinking she’s feeling a bit better and then she gets sick again. She has tomorrow to recoup for her final dance show on Saturday. So far, no one else has caught whatever it is that she has. I’m just praying that it remains that way!! She missed her final 2 dance classes for the year, yesterday’s and today’s. tonight they were going to practice the finale dance for Saturday’s show. I don’t know what happens if she misses the practice, is she no longer in that part of the finale then?? I don’t have a clue what will happen…I guess we wait and see! We paid a whole $10 for that finale spot. Not bad actually. It just covers the instruction time and choreography fees. I also have to pay $45 if we want a DVD of the year end show and $75 for next years registration fees. There’s always something…

There’s gotta be some kind of part time work that I can do from home to earn just a bit of extra money. Just a small amount. I have to look into it. Just to make a little extra to help out with all of the dance extras. We make our monthly payment fine, but we definitely could use a bit of extra income for the other dance expenses that are above and beyond the monthly payments. It would just be nice not having to worry about it. Especially when costume fees and competition fees come along. I’m determined to go to bed st a good time tonight. So, on that note, since it’s only 11:00, I’m going to go to sleep. For real this time. Night all! 💤😴

Sicko!

My dancer is sick! She spent the day throwing up and close to tears because of the aches and pains. She definitely has a nasty flu bug! I’m hoping that it doesn’t travel through everybody after her!! That would suck! I am also hoping that it’s one of those nasty, but short bugs. Her dance year end show is Saturday. She’ll be heartbroken if she’s still sick. I hope that no one is sick on Saturday, not her or anyone else. It’s not like a cold , you can just suck it up and do what you have to do, nope! Throwing up is totally different! She can’t keep anything down. Not even a couple sips of water and Tylenol! Her tummy is rejecting everything!!

My hubby’s boss and friend is currently working with him at the Edmonton airport. He lives in Totonto, but has been staying in a hotel and working as the acting GM here. Because he’s been in a hotel , away from his family, we invited him over for supper. So my oldest and I spent hours cleaning up the house to make it more presentable for when he came over. I bought them beer and got everything ready for supper, he just had to BBQ the burgers when he got home. He was supposed to get off at 6:00 and was going to drive them straight here after work. Well, this friend of his, who doesn’t have a vehicle here, decided that he needed to pick something up from Southgate. It was getting late and my hubby texted to go ahead without them…with a meal that he cooks!! By the time my hubby got home it was 9:00! He was by himself, he dropped his friend off at the hotel. Grrrr…so frustrating! My hubby said he told me he may not come straight home, but I know that he didn’t!! I wasn’t super angry, more frustrated. We put a lot of time and effort into getting everything ready and then he didn’t even come over. Around 7:30 we just ate something else. There’s now a meal ready to go and the house is looking better. It’s just that it feels disrespectful of the time we put in preparing for tonight. Oh well, nothing can be done about it now…what’s done is done.

That was pretty much my day cleaning, shopping and tending to my sick girl. This morning was spent trying to find a new show to watch. I watched a couple episodes of the tv show called Parenthood. It’s good. However, it may be more serious than I’m looking for. I really enjoyed Modern Family and wish there were more forms to watch. It’s hard to find something without comparing them and the new one not measuring up. I want humour and I like shows about families. Anyone have any suggestions?? I’m open to ideas. I think that I watch so many serious shows, that one that’s funny would be like a breath of fresh air. I liked how Modern Family would find humour even in serious situations. I heard that Parks And Recreation, with Chris Pratt, is supposed to be funny. It’s not a family sitcom though. I don’t know. I’ll have to think on it!! I’m going to head to bed now. I’m tired and I always seem to fall asleep too late. This morning, while sitting on the couch watching Parenthood, I couldn’t keep my eyes open. Night all! 💤😴

A Quick Rhyme!!

There was an update to this program,

Do I really give a damn?

I will, if they make it automatically save your post,

Then if I accidentally hit something, it won’t be toast!

But, of course, they probably didn’t do that!

That’d be a far too convenient format!

This isn’t the best rhyme,
I’m not really keeping time!!

It sounds better when I do,

To me and probably to you!

When I go on and on,

It starts to sound a bit wrong.

The last word may still rhyme,

But the rambling makes you lose time!

I just rhymed the same two words!

That’s a little absurd.

Sorry for repeating myself,

I’ll put that rhyme on the shelf!

Today was a beautiful day!

The sun was shining away.

It didn’t get covered by clouds,

Or underneath a shroud.

It was clear and blue,

So nice and true!

My hubby mowed the lawn,

While I cleaned up inside singing songs.

That wasn’t the best rhyme there,

But I don’t really care!

I’ve got to go to bed,

To lay my weary head!

I’m feeling sleepy, so so tired.

The opposite of wired!

I’m ready now to sleep,

Until my alarm starts to beep!

Then I must wake up right away

And get started with my day

So for now I say goodnight.

I can publish this now, right?

Yawn

I just fell asleep and the damn thing backspaces through my poem!! Now I’m exhausted, it’s 12:24 and I want to go to bed!!! Argh! It was a good one too! This “bleeping” system is so stupid!!! It should really save what you’ve written. Argh!! That’s my pirate moment! My oldest and I watched two more pirate movies today. I’m enjoying them so so much. So is she.So much so that she wanted to go to the theatre to watch the new pirate movie. It was the right time for her & mom time. Okay. That sounded weird…grammar wise. Oh well. This is short, but I don’t mind. I’m too tired to do anything else. Short and sweet post. Yawn. Night all! 💤😴

Rhyme My Way, Through My Day!!

I’ve been rhyming up a storm

Boy today was nice and warm

I felt so tired, all day long

That’s my same old dance and song

I did so much running around today

There was hardly any time to play

When there was, we played headbands

When you guess right, clap your hands

We went to showhomes, just for fun

Hey! I can dream, everyone

My daughter thought she’d bake a cake

She didn’t make one mistake

It tasted great, moist and good

It tasted just like a cake should

We watched Pirates Of The Caribbean

Even though it’s one I’ve seen

Davey Jones Locker is the second one

Watching it is so much fun

I just love those movies very much

There is humour, action – even love and such

I find them very entertaining

As long as my kids are not complaining –

While I try to watch it

They need to just be quiet and sit

Three separate times we went to Sobeys

All those times and still no cheese

I really should have made a list

Or I spend more, you get the gist

Well, it’s too late now, we are broke

We didn’t even buy some coke

It’s not good for me anyway

So I went without today

Hopefully tomorrow I don’t have to go once

But knowing me I forgot something, I’m such a dunce

We have yoga, in the morning

She even gave me a reminder warning

That just rhymed, she didn’t really warn me

So I used a word that fit you see

I think I need to hit the hay

I’m not going to sleep while writing today

I hope this is good enough for you

Because there’s nothing else I’m going to do

So goodnight for now, until next time

I’m not sure if I will or will not rhyme

Another day gone by,

Boy, does Time ever fly!

The summer’s almost here.

The time is drawing near.

The days are getting longer,

The sun is getting stronger!

The flowers are showing their face,

They’re taking up their place.

The kids are all outside,

They’re running long and wide!

You can hear them scream and yell!

Their mother’s hearts do swell.

For they love to hear the joy,

In every girl and boy.

The rain has visited too,

The flowers say thank you.

A butterfly goes by,

Flying in the bright blue sky!

Can you hear the birds sing?

That can’t compare to anything!

It’s such a peaceful sound,

Where serenity is found!

The grass has all turned green,

There’s no brown left to be seen.

Such a perfect time of year!

It’s much too short, I fear.

And I always question why,

Time so swiftly passes by?
