It was once upon a place. Confessions of an empty nester 'musher wannabe' mom. Thursday, July 18, 2013. The Pot Hole, now THAT is a Common Weed! They make me smile giving me a warm happy feeling inside. I have, or rather, had a small bunch growing by my front door so that when I came home it would instantly cheer me up. After a knock on our door one morning which found a 'Weed Inspector' from the county on our front step changed all that in a matter of moments. Is what she said we had. A common weed.

It was once upon a place: The Perfect Child
http://getreadygetset-rochelle.blogspot.com/2015/07/the-perfect-child.html
It was once upon a place. Confessions of an empty nester 'musher wannabe' mom. Wednesday, July 29, 2015. I love my kids more than anything. To me they are perfect. What is a perfect child anyway? The baby who sleeps through the night and in their own bed. The baby who cries only if he/she is hungry or needs changing. The toddler who has never had a temper tantrum in the middle of a public place, laying face down on the floor screaming as though they are having their limbs ripped from their torso. My perf...

It was once upon a place. Confessions of an empty nester 'musher wannabe' mom. Saturday, July 5, 2014. Wherever You Go There you Are. I stole this saying from Jon Kabat-Zinn. An author who wrote a book with the same title. A book I have not read, and actually have no idea what it is even about. Perhaps Jon borrowed this quote from someone else. I don't know the origins exactly but I know it pertains to my life RIGHT NOW. Seriously did not like the package that I was born with. This thought process did no...

It was once upon a place. Confessions of an empty nester 'musher wannabe' mom. Sunday, November 24, 2013. Sunday morning and the lack of food in our cupboards had forced me to head out for a big grocery shopping excursion. I like to shop locally but am forced by my pocket book to head to the bigger city south of us to partake in this weekly ritual. One that at this time of year leaves me with the sweats as everyone and their grandmother is also doing the same thing. shopping. I suppose a family emergency?

It was once upon a place: Canadian Challenge - Shame on Me!!

It was once upon a place. Confessions of an empty nester 'musher wannabe' mom. Friday, March 6, 2015. Canadian Challenge - Shame on Me! Wow, how thoughtless of me. I ended the race with Randy coming in at fourth place. How could I do such a thing as to forget to even mention the Red Lantern winner? Jillian Lawton, the daughter of Steve Taylor, the amazing gentleman who thoughtlessly hooked up our trailer to become our driver in our time of need. At 1:13 with 11 dogs ahead of her. There were times at a ch...

It was once upon a place. Confessions of an empty nester 'musher wannabe' mom. Monday, February 23, 2015. Of Vet Checks and Mushers. A busy kinda day. After breakfast the trailer was dropped off to get repairs to make it all brand new like. At least make it so we could drive it on upcoming so called crappy roads as we follow Randy on his adventure. It took all day but Rob gave the company here in Prince Albert a two thumbs up (name inserted here when I find it out). Crippling into Prince Albert. It was f...

It was once upon a place. Confessions of an empty nester 'musher wannabe' mom. Wednesday, February 5, 2014. I was thinking the other day that we are getting so pro at this dog sledding 'thing' as everything generally runs so smoothly. Feeling like I could hook up with my eyes closed and following the same routine makes each outing run near perfect. Suppose I was feeling a little cocky and deserved tonights adventure. The trail right now is fast and icy. At this point Rocky decided he had to poop. so ...

It was once upon a place. Confessions of an empty nester 'musher wannabe' mom. Tuesday, October 29, 2013. I am trying something new. Writing from my new phone. So bear with me through this learning curve. It has been a long while since I have expressed myself in print. To be honest with you I have been discouraged, disappointed, and not very proud of myself. I felt as though I had given up and let everyone down. So for now I shall end this entry with a plea. Even if it seems more like I am begging...

It was once upon a place. Confessions of an empty nester 'musher wannabe' mom. Wednesday, March 4, 2015. Canadian Challenge - "I Don't Want the F'in Red Lantern! It has been almost a week since the mushers crossed the finish line in La Ronge and my memory is losing details as time slips by. Photo Credit: Jessica Fielding. In La Ronge while Randy and his crew were taking their 8 hour rest there were a couple of scratches that happened. Back to the race. So, where was I? We had about a 2 hour wait before R...
