So my grandfather’s funeral was on Saturday. My grandfather planned his own funeral long before he reached the point where he would need it. He explicity said he did not want any casket in the church, chose the hymns he wanted the congregation/choir to sing and requested the bagpipes play Amazing Grace. My grandfather has [...]
Dear Self There are things about yourself that you should be proud of. You must remember that. You have beautiful eyes. If the eyes are really the windows to the soul, perhaps that means you have a beautiful soul too. You’re photogenic, even if sometimes a photo or two is touched up. You love the [...]
I suppose this takes me right back to day one of the blog challenge. I would really like to lose most of the weight I’m carrying around that I shouldn’t be. Everybody that struggles with their weight knows that this is MUCH easer said than done. I’m trying in baby steps. I know I need [...]
Ugh. Really? I have to think about another positive thing about myself? I really struggle with these. So I cheated a little. I outsourced the question and asked Leebeesa how she thinks I should answer this question about myself. Her response was: ‘You are really good at being a mom you love it!’ So I [...]
On Sunday we had out staff function/fun/family day. Here’s our picture: Yep. Daddy shave all Babyice’s hair off! Silly bugger. He looks like a real BOY now!

I think I’m still alive because I met Rudi. Before I met him I was partaking in very self destructive and dangerous behaviour. I was still young and stupid when I met him, but I don’t know if my path would have changed much if I didn’t meet him. Somehow, without trying AT ALL, Rudi [...]
Dear Rudi I dedicate these songs to you: Everything – Alanis Morissette I know I confuse you sometimes, but I embody everything you could every want. 5 more minutes – La Vuvuzela I feel like this in the mornings. I love sleeping late with you. Snuggling with you is one of the highlights of my [...]
I wish I had supported my grandparents when My Evil Mother took everything they had. I wish I hadn’t tried to remain neutral for self preservation. My grandparents worked their entire lives for what they had and she took it all from them. She likes to tell me how I liked the fact that they [...]
I wish I hadn’t gone to England for the reasons I did. In fact, I wish I had never gone to England at all. It was totally not worth the money I spent on it. The debt I made to do it in conjunction with the debt I had to pay off which my mother [...]
