Life is Just One Big Adventure. Just another WordPress.com weblog. A Few of My Favorite Things. Places I Have Been. All I Needed Was a Sign. I’m a 3-Day Ambassador →. E is for Ethel. January 16, 2011. Ethel was my paternal grandmother. She died in 1987, when I was 21 and she was 73, after a very long battle with osteoporosis and a very short battle with pancreatic cancer. My dad says Ethel was a bitter, unhappy woman, but I don’t remember her that way at all. This is the latest edition in my Alphabet Mem...

Life is Just One Big Adventure. Just another WordPress.com weblog. A Few of My Favorite Things. Places I Have Been. Places I Have Been. About 15 years ago I set up a goal to go to all 50 States before I turned 50. I have done pretty well, but have a few more to go before October, 2016. Living in Europe for 3 1/2 years also gave me a new goal of visiting 50 countries before I die. Here is a list of the places I have been:. US States (in no particular order). United States (see above ). My Husband is Annoy...

Friday Night Parents: July 2012
http://fridaynightparents.blogspot.com/2012_07_01_archive.html
Parenting imperfectly since 2009. Tuesday, July 31, 2012. You're two, almost three. It's a tough age. For both of us. Lately I've been asking myself why you are such a dick so much of the time. Is it because you have a new sister who you have to share us with? Is it just "the age"? Or is it me? Do I expect too much from you? Am I too strict and need to chill out? But today I had a bit of a realization about this boundary testing you are doing, this quest for control that you have undertaken. The answers ...

Friday Night Parents: February 2012
http://fridaynightparents.blogspot.com/2012_02_01_archive.html
Parenting imperfectly since 2009. Friday, February 17, 2012. Back in the Saddle. Can you imagine if I never blogged again? You would all think that I had died of pink eye! Fear not, patient readers, I am fine. I just got lost in real life for a while. I thought about my neglected little blog frequently. But the more time that passed since my last post, the more pressure I felt to make this next one fabulous. It became very intimidating. Sam and Lucy's mum. Links to this post.

Friday Night Parents: March 2013
http://fridaynightparents.blogspot.com/2013_03_01_archive.html
Parenting imperfectly since 2009. Sunday, March 31, 2013. Not getting younger, but can still learn new tricks. Today is my last official day of maternity leave, which doesn't mean I go back to work tomorrow, just that it is the last day the government will continue to pay me not to. Did some of you read that and think I meant I was planning to be a stay at home mum? I'm not laughing because I don't value SAHMs - I admire them! They do a job that requires patience and creativity that I can only dream.

Friday Night Parents: April 2012
http://fridaynightparents.blogspot.com/2012_04_01_archive.html
Parenting imperfectly since 2009. Tuesday, April 3, 2012. If I'd posted about this 6 weeks ago, when he slept in his new bed for the first night, it would have been more sentimental and weepy. We were so proud of him, yet somehow sad that he was leaving his crib and infancy behind. He's a real boy now. In bed, but looking a bit like a college frat boy. Consistently staying in the bed, but not mastering the whole pillow and blanket thing. And, we've regressed - but at least we have some art on the walls.

Friday Night Parents: May 2011
http://fridaynightparents.blogspot.com/2011_05_01_archive.html
Parenting imperfectly since 2009. Monday, May 2, 2011. I am gross and not suitable for public consumption. Today is election day - again - up here in the Great Wet North and I don't think sunglasses are allowed at the voting stations. This is a problem because I have developed a disgusting case of pinkeye! As if there is another kind. I work in a hospital ('nuff said). We've been test-driving cars lately. I took the bus a couple of times last week. I've been using the same old mascara tube for way. Oh we...

Friday Night Parents: Yet another epiphany!!
http://fridaynightparents.blogspot.com/2012/12/yet-another-epiphany.html
Parenting imperfectly since 2009. Tuesday, December 11, 2012. You may recall a certain post I wrote about Valentine's Day at daycare roughly two years back : ) Well, I've done it again! Come to a realization about holidays and children. They are stressful. When you're young - and celebrate Christmas - it is all so magical and exciting and wrought with agonizing delay. Oh the waiting! Will Christmas never arrive? Can it still be two weeks away? There is so much to do, bake, buy, wrap, craft, plan! Sam and...

Friday Night Parents: June 2012
http://fridaynightparents.blogspot.com/2012_06_01_archive.html
Parenting imperfectly since 2009. Wednesday, June 13, 2012. Which brings me to this book that a neighbour lent me. I don't want to say the title or author in case I get sued for libel, but if you've read it you'll know which one I'm talking about. It's a very. Popular book right now. Especially among women. It has a lot of sex in it. It's basically porn. There's a colour in the title. Everyone murmers or mutters when they speak. Every look is a gaze. Or a peek through the subject's eyelashes. The author'...
