Making It Work Takes A Little Time

Will I be ready for the big trip home on Tuesday morning? I haven't done anything in preparation as things have been so busy the last few days! The wedding yesterday was so beautiful and so much fun! I love weddings so much, it renews my faith in the true spirit of humankind. Plus there was a fabulous view of Parliament Hill and the DJ immediately played any requests. Ms. D and Mr. C are heading off on the honeymoon tomorrow, I hope they have a blast!

I think I have overscheduled myself for tomorrow. Here is what is on my plate: doctor's appointment, two social visits from friends who don't live here who are in town for weddings, hair appointment, Tink's swimming lesson...plus some laundry and actually packing for myself and a 9 month old for the next 2 weeks. Good God! Wish me luck.

Mama Bear and I got to have some alone time today when we left all the hoodlums at home and went shopping at the mall. I enjoy our conversations. I wish we could shop alone together at malls more often!

Today is the 13th anniversary of my Opa's passing. I was freshly 15 when he died and he was the first person that I had lost in my life that I loved dearly. Time really does dim the pain of him not being here anymore but tears can still rise up so easily. I used to not even be able to talk about him but I've been able to do that tear-free for a number of years now. I miss you Opa.
