Truro...

So I've lived in truro for what - 9 years... and now... because Ev'y might be moving here it all of a sudden got to be fun to say... sigh... I see where I rank on the fun list. jeepers... it saddens me...

And Again

WooHoo !!

One more day off work! I love it! Does that mean I'm lazy?
Hmmm... maybe, but i think i'll get over it.

Today I can continue to do the Laundry and Chores. Hopefully I'll be able to get living room boxes organized and put them away... and change the bookcases around, and put other things in the spaces that the books once took up.

SNOW DAY

Have I mentioned that I love snow days -
1) I don't have to work
2) I can sleep in - more about the no work, but the snow is the percipitaing factor..aha
3) The snow is so pretty. I love the snow.

Today I'm going to try to get a few things done around the house, and if the wind ever dies down walk into the school and get my classroom organized. We'll see how the day goes.

I can't wait for Feb. well it is Feb. but I mean I can't wait for all the things going on in Feb. First it will be my first Valentine's Day as a Wife... and the weekend of the 10th we are heading to Moncton to visit... oh Brannie and Holly can we borrow some floor, or a tiny single bed... what ever you got we'll take!! and then Ev'y come's home for a visit!!! AND I CAN"T WAIT.. I crave her! Ev'y - it's not fun joking about not seeing me in truro... It's not funny at all.

Well I should get going on the errands and what not.

Time to Update...

So It's been a few days, or was it a week? I"m not sure the days sometime seem to run together.

Work is going so GREAT - some days it's tiring but most days it's very much a great time. The kids are so great, they are still working on the listening and the not Shouting out in class...but hopefully that will come soon.

Life in general is going well. David and I are still loving this married thing. i think a lot more people should try this.

You know I miss people, I think right now that is what i'm feeling, I miss Ev'y and Brannie and Holly and Emmie... Heck I miss most of my girls... I just would love to see them, to hang out - to just go and sit with them and maybe eat, and talk, cry, laugh... etc...

Well It's nothing fab... but it's an update

I could hear the Birds chrip...

The entire way home i could here brids chirping. It was so wonderful. I hope that Winter stays like this instead of that nasty -30 something weather that we usually get.

sigh a Girl can dream...

Owww My Shoulder Hurts... But I'm still so very HAPPY

First - Why I'm so Happy!!

Ruthie got engaged, and then about two days later Leanne got engaged ... tis the season of engagement. I just can't believe how happy this makes me. They are such great friends I love to see them Happy.

My Shoulder

I awake at 3:30 this morning in EXTREME pain. So much that after an hour of crying David tells me we are heading to the Hospital.

So how did this happen - let me tell you, I wish I knew...

Two days ago I awake to a slightly sore shoulder, and I figure heck I slept on it funny and might have pulled the muscle. I then head to school, slip and fall a little - not a large fall just a slip - and think 'hmmm that tingles.. how about taking some tylenol..." that will help. So through out yesterday I'm taking an average dose of tylenol. After all isn't that what over the counter pain medication is for. Well during the day I did a few things that could have aggrivated my shouldblade/back. Let's see... Played with the kids in my class, played a few games of Ping-Pong, moved some stuff around the apratment, reached up for stuff that was too heavy to lift, and too high to really get a grip with... sigh... So my back really hurts by about bed time and I think "hmm this still really hurts." Of couse I take a few more tylenol to get to sleep... I know it seeems like I'm a pill pusher... I'm not I promise. Of course what happenes next is pretty normal... when you go to bed, usually sleep follows... and this time it did. No big surprise.

Until 3:30am. it's like an alarm went off in my shoulder-blade. it hurt and it hurt a lot. so off to the hospital. I was seen by a doctor who madae me twist my arm, and move my shoulder, and made me cry. It was very painful. We (well, he with my help) figured i had strained my back muscle, the really big thin one, and then in one of my simple movements I tore it. Exciting.

I'm off work for 2 days. Not really because of the injury but because I'm on serious pain killers. I'm tired and I can't really focus on anything, and I'm not really sure if what I think is going on is going on. It's like I'm dreaming... in a fog... and just out of it.

But in the end - WOOT for Love...

The Holiday Rush

Well it's been kinda a hectic (as I was saying in an eariler post), time of year.
i had a few weeks off work - so i should be rested... but there were so many chores, so many errands, so much shopping, and SO MUCH family... sigh...

I'm back at work and It's kinda nice to be busy but in a not so busy sort of way. It went smoothly. and i'm feeling ok - except that my lower back hurts from standing for about 6 hours... yikes....

well that's it for now... i think.

Ciao

Christmas Joy...

Merry Chrsitmas Past....
Its been a hectic, and yet lazy Christmas.
On Wednesday the 21st, my parents came to stay at our apartment. David and I left Thrusday for his parent's house. We spent the weekend, christmas and the early mornign of Boxing day at the Skafte's place. It was fun. On Christmas Eve we went to Aunt Julie's (Dad's sister) and had a big dinner. Then for Christmas day we went over to Aunt Lori's (Mom's sister) and had a great big turkey dinner again. This is our yule log - sad we know... The best part was being able to sit and talk to family. I have been so welcomed into David's family. It's nice to feel that kind of 'like' well 'love'. I got to see Erin (David's cousin). She is so great I'm glad we could have fun, to laugh together. It's nice. Over all it was a very relaxing time. Which was just what we needed. On boxing Day we drove home because my side of the family was having Christmas dinner on boxing day... so it was home for more Turkey.

So Christmas was a bit hectic but great. And just yesterday I was on MSN talking with old firends, whom i haven't heard from in forever, so that was nice, to think back to good ol' times at ABU. sigh. I really miss it, even just the oportunity to chat. If I want to talk to the girls... I can't just go across the hall, down the hall, over to their place anymore. I have to go to a different province... sigh.

but to cheer me up - David is the greatest most understanding person ever, and I love him for it. He is great and I love him. sigh... I'm just a silly girl at heart... swoon.

I'm at Home... and I'm Bored Already...

I'm at home, and I'm ahead of schedule - - sorta - - I've got the spare room pretty much tidied up. I'm going to wait until David gets home so that we can finish it up together. I've got some of the living room cleaned up, and the kitchen still needs a bit of work - but three loads of dishes is enough for now. There is a lot left to do - but i'm goign to stop for now. there is always tomorrow.

Oh as for the kid well he's gone, according to his mom. she told me the last day of classes. I guess she's decided to pull him out of CCA. I'm not as happy as I would have thought. I'm sad cuase when he was a good kid, he was great.... unfortunatly when he was bad... not so much...

Well that's about it. .... Ciao...

It's been a while... Two weeks even...

Have I been so busy that I haven't updated? It can't be, can it?

Well what's been happening.
hmmm last week, what happened... nothign really. the week went as normal. David was working in Stellarton. the kids in class were sorta ok... it's been tough the child with the most trouble adjsuting... ie. the kid well he's on his way out. He's been given his verbal warning - and has till Dec 16th to begin to adjust. You see that sounds cruel for a four year old; however the standard is very high at CCA. everytime I tell the children to put away their pencils, and the kid can't jsut throw a tempertantrum, and cannot scream that he hates school and hates me... this is not behavior that works with CCA. Also I would like to point out that it's been four months, and nothing, I mean hit other students, hitting me, screaming... I like him but there isn't anything more I can do... so to sum it up - the kid is on his way out. There really isn't anything that happened that week... last week. On Saturday there was a baby shower for Berinda and Baby, and then the youth group Christmas party. it was fun. I love the youth group - they are so much fun. I get to be a big kid... I mean there are time i have to be an adult.. but mostly I get to have fun.

I did find out that I had a nasty infection, and no symptoms... so there was some confusion as to where it came from, and how to get rid of it... so we did the medication thing, prayed about it and waited.... and I think it worked... right up until the last few days when everything came back... its so hard, and I think 'hey go talk to your doctor' adn then reality sinks in. By the time I call and get an appointment, the problem will be gone. so now I'm back to my nasal passages being sore and full and pressing on every area of my face, my throat is still rough, and now I have a cough... I think I'll suck it up and call. I just hate Doctors...

This week has gone by so very fast. the fact that today and yesterday are snow days, helped. I've gotten a few things done for Christmas. woot.

Well it's getting to be lunch time, and I have company coming for lunch.

ciao

And I sit on a Thrusday, and watch some TV...

It's thrusday, Yesterday I had a breakdown... cried about work... there is so much Stress, so much i can't Change and I want so badly to change it.

Youth is going well - although there are some days I want to sleep. I love the youth group - i love the youth - they are great - i'm just so tired... and I'm tired ofbe ign sick.

can you friggin show me one other person who has been sick for 3 months, everyday... I just don't want to be sick anymore.. i dion't know what is going on.. I eat pretty healthy, I sleep 6-8 hours a day.. i've prayed for healing, i've talked to doctors, I jsut don't know anymore.

the worst is that I know it bothers David, it hurts him to know i'm sick.... and that breaks my heart. I feel like he's married someone who isn't 'good enough' who isn't whole.... you know?

AHHHH I just want a day to curl up, read a good book, cuddle with my husband, and enjoy a cup of tea. if there is a chance for napping - that'd be a good day!

As for things that are going on...

a while back - David and I went to Moncton to see Janet - and watch a hockey game. We got to see Holly and Justin too!!! It was a great time.

There was a spiritual retreat that I led it went ok.

umm I can't really remember if anything happen more than that...

and now i'm tired - so this is Ciao

for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction

So this weekend we went to the Vally - just for one night - but it was so great. to be able to sit and talk with our parents (both sets). I love that they are our friends. its so nice be just be around them.

We also got to see our Brand New Niece. Danelia is beautiful. She's quite and smells so good. I love baby smell.

I'm gonna be a AUNT

First - Woot Woot
Second - it's AUNT - not 'Ant'
Third - Her name is Danelia Karen Skafte.
Forth - She was born at 8:05 pm... and 7 lbs heavy.

Can you imagine 14 hours of labour... ouch.
Sigh Swoon... one day I'll have a baby - I hope sooner than 14 hours.

The three day weekend

Thrusday was a great night...
Friday was theraputic...
Saturday was busy...
And then Sunday came a long...

So much got done, and so little was accopmlished.


We had hoped that Holly and Justin would be able to come and visit... but alas that could not happen. I miss her so much, and I miss Justin too.. don't get me wrong it's just that I lived with Holly, it's a little different.

Where was I - oh yes... the weekend. Since holly and Justin couldn't make it David and I planned on going to the memorial service for rememberance day... and then out to dinner with Mike and Jen.

Saturday we shopped, all mornign - got most of the christmas gifts. It's great to get most of the stuff now not in a rush. Also we got our chirstmas tress... it's great - I want to put it up now.. but i'll have to wait a bit longer - i'm thinking Nov 20th is a good round number.

Today was so busy - Serive, sunday school, meeting, more meeting, and then home... sigh... so busy.

That is it - I know it's not a huge update... but it's an update... ciao

And then there was this...

I love my life... except for all the friggin' curve balls... I didnt' even want to play the freakin' game...

Life is going well. it really is. I have a wonderful husband, I have a job that I love. I have friends and family... i have my health - kinda.

I know it's not the end of the world. but knowing that i have OsteoArthritis that has no cure, that has no positive impact, that will hurt only when i bend my knee. It just kinda bogs me down. I was so ok with knee pain that phsio woudl fix.. but know - nope they took some x-rays, and I have to patches of arthritis, one under my knee cap, and one in the middle of my joint. this means as the years go by, give or take a couple of months... the bones crush the cartilage... cartilage begins to degenerate by flaking or forming tiny crevasses. In advanced cases, there is a total loss of the cartilage cushion between the bones of the joints. Loss of cartilage cushion causes friction between the bones, leading to pain and limitation of joint mobility so umm ouch....


Meh.
