Happy Easter

Happy Easter to all my friends and family.

Well Damn!

Nemo II passed away this morning. We're not having much luck. I knew it was coming, he hasn't acted normal since we got him and the last couple of days he's been hanging out at the top of the tank and not eating. I actually thought he died through the night but when we went to get him out he started swimming again. I went in a few minutes ago to check him and I was going to change his water again, but he was gone. We replaced everything in her tank when Nemo the 1st died, maybe I need to replace the tank too? Or maybe this one was sick from the start.

Not much else new, we're still spending weekends at the rink, for a few more weeks anyway, it will be over the last weekend of April. Josh spends his weekeneds enjoying his new freedom of being allowed to go fishing with friends. It's the first time he's been allowed to head out without us and he's loving it. I know it's not much fun to hang out with us anymore, LOL. Josh has his yearly clinic appointment next Wed., his first appointment is at 9:50 and last is at 2:10. I hope that everything is going okay and no surgery is needed for awhile.

It's a beautiful spring day here, I think I'll clean out the Escape and BBQ tonight for supper.

I've been playing with a new photo program and realized I really need to get some new pictures of the kids. I don't have many on this computer. I'll try and remember to do that this week. Anyway, time to get some work done. Later!

Brrrrr

Damn it's cold out there! I just went to get the mail and didn't put a jacket on, I guess we got spoiled the last week. It's calling for rain or showers right through till the weekend. The kids won't be happy, one has his fishing gear ready to go and the other has some Heelys she's trying to learn to use.

I just finished cleaning Breanna's room, I think it's a good thing we have such a small house with small rooms, I hate to think of what she'd have in there if she had any room, I took out 2 trash bags as it was. That kid is such a packrat, she reminds me of my niece Bethy.

Now my break is over and it's time to get the kids beds made, Josh has physio this afternoon.

Another beautiful day

And it's Friday too! Breanna just went out to the bus in her capri's and a T-shirt, gotta love this weather. I'm still not convinced that we won't get a big snow storm before this is over. There's been forest fires all over this week, the one out in Port Mouton was terrible.

We have to go to Bridgewater tonight to get Miss Breanna a new bike, she's out grown hers so this is her year for a new one, I make sure they never need one the same year. I also have to take a few things back to Zellers that I bought in Greenwood the other day.

So the boss and I went on our road trip, which Doug now referrs to as "Dumb and Dumber's Most Excellent Adventure". Ya, we got lost, a few times. LOL

We are having a bake sale tomorrow at work. I made some fudge last night and have to see if it's fit to eat, if it is, I'll make another pan of it. Also have to make some cookies, that's Doug's department. All proceeds go to the Helen Keller Foundation.

Skating starts again on Saturday and I think I have everything ready, not too much to do for spring school so it's quite a lot easier. Only another month and we'll be finished till fall. Yay!

Anyway, it's nap time for a bit then try and get some work done around here, then take Josh to physio. Have a good weekend!

Could it be?

Could spring be here? The sun is out, the temp. is suppose to go up to 10, can we get that lucky? Sure we can and then next week we'll get a nice big snow storm. LOL Life in the maritimes. I love spring, especially the first part of it, before the flies come out. Then I stay inside again. LOL

I worked the close shift last night, only 13 more sleeps till we go to our new hours and will close at 9 on weeknights. Tomorrow I'm going to Greenwood with the boss, she's going to a meeting and I'm going window shopping, no I don't need new windows, I just don't have any money.

On Saturday it will be 12 years since the day I found out that my baby boy had Spina Bifida. I had to wait until the next week to get in to the IWK/Grace and see a Dr. there, who did an ultrasound and told me that yes, my baby had Spina Bifida and most likely, hydrocephulas, he'd probably never walk, did I want to abort. I knew he had movement in his legs, he used to kick the remote off my belly. The Dr. told us to go out for lunch and come back with my decision. So we went to Smitty's where my sister and father ate their lunch, and mine too, since I cried all through lunch. LOL With everyone wanting me to abort my baby at 23 weeks I felt so alone but I stood my ground. Almost 12 years later my baby boy has had 12 operations, has played soccer, loves to ride his bike, loves to fish and made 98 on Science on his report card. He wants to be a Storm Chaser when he grows up and knowing Josh, if he wants to do it, he will.

I'm adding a picture that amazes me and brings me to tears every time I see it. It was taken while a Dr. was performing surgery to close a baby's back, which they can do now before the baby is born, when I had Josh that wasn't heard of.

I thought this was cute...

Thanks To Debbie for sending me this...

My True Friendship Pledge

Are you tired of those sissy-ass "friendship" poems that always sound
good, but never actually come close to reality? Well, here is a series of
promises that actually speak of true friendship:

1. When you are sad -- I will help you get drunk and plot revenge against the sorry bastard who made you sad.

2. When you are blue -- I will try to dislodge whatever is choking you.

3. When you smile -- I will know you finally got laid.

4. When you are scared -- I will try to calm your nerves, unless it is
something silly then I will rag on you about it every chance I get.

5. When you are worried -- I will tell you horrible stories about how
much worse it could be until you quit whining.

6. When you are confused I will use little words.

7. When you are sick -- Stay the hell away from me until you are well
again. I don't want whatever you have.

8. When you fall -- I will point and laugh at your clumsy ass, but then I
will help you get up.

9. This is my oath..... I pledge it to the end. "Why?" you may ask; "because you are my friend".

Remember.......A good friend will help you move.....a REALLY good friend will help you move a body.......let me know if you ever need me to bring a
shovel.

Friendship is like peeing your pants, everyone can see it, but only you
can feel the true warmth.
