Life's Whirlwind Adventures

I have often told my mom things I remember from when I was kid, and my mom gets this weird look on her face and asks me how I could possibly remember that. I don't know but there must have been some huge feeling attached to it because though I can't recall every day of my life I can recall with details many events in my life from the time I was 2 and a half onwards. So my earliest memory, dates back to when I was two and a half. My parents had divorced and after my uncle passed away my mom decided to move back to Canada.  I am not really clear on the details but this is the information I have learned and pieced together in the past.  Mom and I moved to Prince Albert, I don't know where we stayed until we found a house, but I do remember going to look at place with Low Income housing in the Carlton Area of the city. I remember the brown and white town houses and looking at them, not knowing that there were multiple units in each, and thinking that was a huge house. ...

Five things I remember from when I was sixteen!! 1) I got my license on June 8 three months after my sixteenth birthday. I remember the dread I felt when my evaluator was Pete, AKA Repeat Pete.  It was also during a big fire up north so there were a lot more people in Prince Albert than usual and I remember Pete telling me at the end of my lesson that I was just on the edge of failing because I hesitated at a corner that had pedestrians at it.  He told me I had 7 or 8 marks off and he could fail me but decided not too. I finally breathed a sigh of relief and did the happy dance into SGI to pick up my new license. 2) I changed schools when I was 16 as well.  I left Rivier Academy behind and went to the Public High School.  I don't regret this decision at all and I had some of my best high school years at Carlton Comprehensive High School.  I don't feel like a missed anything by changing schools although I did lose out on a trip to Europe, but at the end of th...

It's been a busy month of June.  Busy getting over the baby blues (hormones), end of school, preparing for summer, and just getting into a new routine that works for the boys and me.  I hate saying I am busy, I've actually stopped using that word when people ask me how I've been or however they phrase the question. I legitimately tell them what I am doing or have been up to, because just saying "I've been busy" is a cop out that's like saying you don't have time to give to someone that is expressing an interest in your life and that's not fair.  (this is totally only relevant for me and I do not judge people who still answer "oh I'm so busy" when I ask how they are doing, I realize they have not come to same understanding as I have)  All of this is not to say that we haven't been doing things everyday or most days because we have it's just that I don't want to have my life defined as busy.  But I'm off on a tangent now...
