Diary of a crazy person

The story of a woman with three daughters who falls in love with a man with three sons.... - oh, wait, that's the Brady Bunch! Sorry! I guess this is just the ramblings of a woman caught between sanity and chaos. Join me?

Tired from doing nothing!

How is it possible to be exhausted from doing nothing? Really? How can my body be tired. I am no Olympic athlete, but I do exert energy in my regular day, and that, my dear friends, makes me tired. But today, nothing. Zippo. Nada. Feels nice, actually.

Hmmmm,
More pictures up soon. I watched Cori and Darren's wedding video with mom a few days ago. It was happy and sad. We were grieving for Darren and family, as David (his Dad) had had a terrible stroke that took his life eventually. I kept looking at the faces of his dear family, and wondering how they got through that day. I still do not understand why it happened.

Then I look at my dad, so happy to be there. He had told us before hand that he was only going to stay until around 9pm, then someone was going to have to take him home, as he would be too tired and week. I remember getting home around 2:30am with him and the rest of us, and we still sat up for a while and remarked on what an incredible day it had been. I miss him so much. Seeing him there is like he never left us.

Then, I look at Cori and Darren, and try to remember what being in love was like. Truly wonderful.

Lastly, I look at my little angels. Gareth was so much younger then. He has grown into a kid, not just my little boy. In the video you see him, short with a little bit of baby fat left on him, especially in those cute cheeks. It's gone now. He is a tall slim young man. And Sarah... she was still a baby then! She was 3 and a half, and adorable. I could eat her up.

So, all this has made me decide that I must save most of my money for a video camera, or DVD camera or what ever they are called now. I need to be recording my life, so I can look back and remember more. I know, it is what I do best - reminisce - but I love how my soul feels when I think back to good times. Don't you?

So, this is a post with out photos to view, but many memories to see.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME!!

Hi y'all! I am in Ottawa visiting my mom who is house sitting for Cori and Darren! The kids and I are staying until Tuesday, unless I go crazy in the meantime. I miss school (for them) all ready! LOL
Well, I am 33 today. Funny, it feels the same!

Spent the day yesterday on parliament Hill. Saw the Gov. General and the Prime Minister. Showed the kids, but being so little, they didnt care much. I have pictures of us that I will upload later. Didnt bring the cord with me.

Gonna have a steak dinner here tonight with my kiddies (and Grandma...). Enough excitement for me, my old heart cant take it!

Behave!
