My Bday Month

Yes, yes I am happy this is my month, my birthday is coming up real fast and I am thrilled. I love it when people wish me happy bday. I feel like a kid again when it comes around !!! I am not planning anything exciting, I have class that night! What a long way I have come from last year. I am breathing and living again after a tough period of time.

I will try to be a “better” mother this week. I usually am so disorganised, I am pretty sure my kids think that I am a total flake. I am not, it’s just that I get distracted real easy… I do stuff while thinking of other stuff and so I get lost in my thoughts and eventually I end up in my bubble with rose colored glasses. (with diamonds). I have made great stride at the beginning of the week fixing lunches 2 days ahead so we would not have to rush and I would not to have scream to the kids to Hurry up because I am late again ! I am not late at work .. yes people I am rushing to go park the car at the bus station, if you get there too late there is no more space or you are park almost in Antartica and I am not the bravest soul and I HATE the cold. Can you imagine me walking to the car cursing winter and environmentalists for being so against Global warming. Yeah I agree, Global warming is not great but if we do not get warmer can we have a switch once in a while… let’s say a 5 year span of warm, friendly weather and 5 years of Quebec winters….PLEASE ! It would make it bearable (at least for me).

As I left the house this morning I heard the story of the 9 y.o. boy missing from home… and I was thinking about it driving the kiddies to school this morning gave them the speech about strangers and all… gave them hugs and a kiss and told them I love them, sent them on their way with a heavy heart! What is wrong with people these days? When I got to the office I was told they had found him, immediately my view changed as bad as I felt for him this morning (and making me feel horrible in the process) I now felt angry (at him for being a kid) and relieved (our world is ok). But one can’t help but think what if ?

The bus ride: now now… men, boys I have a question. I got on the bus this morning and the teenager sitting next to me crowded me with his leg… He sat with his legs spread apart and took a good chunk of my space. I want to know does the thing between your legs really stop you from closing them properly or at least give people around you some space ? Is it physically impossible for you ? I mean COME ON do you really have to take up 2 spaces for your friend between your legs ?

On a knitting note, I have finished my 1st sock … started the second one. ! Pictures to follow.

Have a great one.!
