I’ve never been one for Hallowe’en
It’s just never been my thing. Could be because my Mom didn’t care for Hallowe’en. Could be because I didn’t like the whole trick or treating thing because I was shy. All I know is that I wasn’t a big fan. And today is NO exception. Possibly one of the worst on record for a long time. I had a horrible busy day at work. Shit didn’t come together as I had hoped after work and things are definitely NOT how I pictured them now. I’m sitting all by lonesome in this strange, violent city while my friends are either home in the Atlantic Provinces, at a house party here…

Howdy y’all
Well here I am. 10:13pm. Sitting here in the dark living room bored out of my ever loving mind. But I have this nagging pain in my mid-section. I thought I was able to stop taking my prevacid but I guess I was wrong. Lesson learned. This is like the week that never ends but at the same time is going by lightning fast. Such a weird feeling. I’m feeling like crap about my slight weight gain but not motivated enough to actually do something about it. There’s something to be said for chasing kids for 8 hours and not having the energy to exercise at home. There is a…

Erica Hahn says it best
I don’t make friends easily. I’m awkward and am bad at small talk and generally don’t like people I don’t know… but I made friends with you and now you have this thing……I don’t make friends easily. This quote is brought to you by Erica Hahn (ok, I’m a dork. Quoting a tv show…but whatever I’m still awesome) but I could be heard saying this. This could have been easily said by me. Everytime I watch that episode and hear that “speech” at the end, I can’t help but relate. It makes me feel better about myself and my lack of social skills. Well, I do have social skills but…

Working with kids makes the hard days manageable
The title says it all. Maybe that’s why I do it. Maybe that’s what keeps me going in my profession, even when I know I should have moved on in previous experiences. But I always stuck with it. It’s because of them. Their little hands. Their smiles. Their hugs. Their tears. Their ever expanding imagination. They are what make the hard days manageable. Maybe that’s sort of ironic or whatever since the day is probably a “hard day” because of them. But at the same turn of the coin, it’s because of them I can keep going and manage. I had a great day today at work. Got a decent…

Happy Anniversary to us
Two years ago I became a Mrs. It may not have been the typical storybook happily-ever-after but it doesn’t mean our story doesn’t count. It doesn’t mean I haven’t enjoyed every minute of it. Looking back I’ve enjoyed going through these ups and downs together (well enjoyed isn’t the right term because I would have rathered of not had to go through it all). Most of the things have been out of our control but still we faced them, got through them and are still here to talk about it. We may not have had it easy but that’s just fine by me. We will get where we want to…
