For Bobby....

This is one of my favorite pictures, it was taken when Evan was about 3 months old. Now he is done his first year of school and is gone to North Bay for his first of at least 3 solo visits. Gonna brag just for a sec, he got the French Language award for the month of June and an excellent report card to boot. I am a proud mom! He is by far the most polite 5 year old you will ever meet. At least I did one thng right! As for the rest of the story, the big move takes place this weekend. Yup, they're shackin up. Those of you who follow, know who I mean. I'm not gonna say too much, cause I have no idea who reads this stuff, although I think I have made it as private as possible, so not every Tom, Dick and Harry can read it. In the word of Hillary Duff(ok,cheesy choice, I know) "haven't you heard I'm gonna be ok". Life goes on and I am doing everything in my power to help it along! Happy Canada Day folks, I will be working, so take it easy!

My Name is T and I'm a Facebookaholic...

So I've discovered the world of Facebook and let m tell you, I'm addicted. I have found old school friends, old co-workers, families of old boyfriends and even a few I thought I'd NEVER talk to again. Time goes by, people change and grow up, and I am happy to have them back. It's interesting to see what roads people have taken, where hey are, what they're doing. So if you like, look me up! On another totally off topic note, here's a moral dilemma I faced yesterday. Standing in line waiting for coffee, a young guy (20-something I assume) has a problem I am pretty sure he is unaware of. The barn door was open, if you know what I mean. So, now my dilemma was, do I tell him or do I not? What would you do? I'll let you know what I did.....right after this commercial break. Ha!

Blah

about sums up how I am feeling today. Got some news last week, and although it was not a huge surprise, somehow, I am having trouble with it. Just when I think I am doing well, I get a reality check and start to second guess my stability. For the most part, I am over it, but every once in a while a thought sneaks into my mind, whether it be a dream, or something else that stirs up what is long gone. Yesterday I went and sat at a friend's place and while Evan swam like a fish, I baked like a beer-butt basted chicken. Had sunscreen on to boot. So I am off to soothe the savage burn with Aloe Vera, I hope you all have a wonderful week!

A Little Perspective

So, this weekend we went to Callander (just outside of North Bay) to visit my sister in law who was there visiting from Michigan. Had a super time and headed out about 2:20 yesterday afternoon. This is what we missed being involved in by about 5 minutes. I am at this very moment thanking God for any and every diversion (Needed a Tim's fix for the highway) that kept us from being involved in this. I don't have too many details, aside from one fatality and I believe 5-6 vehicles. The highway was closed for approximately 8-9 hours. We re-routed (an unexpected adventure is what I told Evan) and what should have been a 3.5 hour trip turned into 6. As I look at this picture, I don't care if it had taken us 6 days. Thanks for it not being our time to go.

The Single Life

So last night I did someting I've never done before. I got together with oneof the girls from work and 2 of her friends, and went to a singles dance. I have decided that the past shall stay behind me and it is time to move on. I got a good swift kick in the pants the other day(okay, so it was a cyber kick) from a friend and I have decided that I have spent enough time and tears on things and it is time to get on with my life. I deserve better dammit! So back to *the dance*...I went, paid my cover charge(or whatever they call it now) and headed to the rest room where I called a freind of mine to *rescue me*. Don't get me wrong, the people that were there seemed to be having a good time, they were all just a little bit, ummm, how shall I say, more mature than I. Okay, they were older and I'm not just talkin a yr or two. I left my friend there(she is a bit older than I,and she understood how I was feeling) and hooked up with another friend. Long story short, we had a decent time and decided next time will be better. So for all of you thinking I am sitting at home feeling sorry for myself, those days are over. Finally. *This is my now* xo
