Genie in a bottle
The winds of change are in the air today. We had nice weather today, with the sun actually warming my shoulders through the window as I drove. It felt like I drove all day, in between work, appointments, and meetings. I planned my day like a general, Marching into battle, Every minute accounted for until…

Soft repose
Sometimes I wonder how it was I got so lucky in life A wonderful job, amazing friends who’ve touched my life, A husband I love and family I get along with and enjoy. But anytime I begin to fret that life isn’t quite what it should be Or that I haven’t achieved what I set…

A light in the dark
Some days you roll over on the wrong side, Step out of bed a crank Wonder why you bothered at all When fate gives your life a yank Some day’s are worse than others Some weeks never seem to end Today was one that was endless When I really could have used a friend But…

A song in my heart
Everyone has a song A tune that carries through the day Whatever the mood, Come whatever may Today my tune Was joyous and light Full of triumph, Winning the fight Some days are somber, More a funeral affair When all seems lost, And I’m full of despair And as I watch my children Run around…

Flip side
Today was an exercise in extremes. I spent the morning solitary, Writing to my hearts content. In my head, on my own, the freedom of my thoughts Uninterrupted Then noon struck, And Cinderella returned from the ball In order to deplete the wild energy of my young, I ran them hard at the Telus spark…

Lucky day
Friday the thirteenth has always been a lucky day for me. I guess when I set the bar as not being burnt at the stake a good day for a Friday the 13th, it’s relatively easy to be happy. I had a short day at work, which allowed some errands to be done and then…

But at home, The situation is dire. Cabin fever runs wild with the animals, er, children…

A moment of Monday
Another Monday has flown by. I’m not sure if they were designed by a cruel god, or planned by a hyper squirrel in a tree somewhere who laughs maniacally as they watch people rush around. I jumped from one thing to the next, trying to remember what I was forgetting. It was one of those…

The tantrum
Another family day, but this one was slightly derailed by a cold. Once again, the little man was up from about 2 am onwards with that horrible itchy cough that always portends a wonderful day ahead. We got up for the day by 430, as sleeping through his coughing is hard for me, and impossible…

Homecoming
It’s amazing how different Friday’s are as an adult. I remember when I lived at home still, looking forward to the weekends so I could watch movies and read books. Then when I was in university, Friday was a night to go out with friends, hit up a bar or a house party, or in…
