Motherhood and Everything Else: Let It Go
http://motherhoodandeverythingelse.blogspot.com/2013/01/let-it-go.html
Motherhood and Everything Else. Monday, January 14, 2013. Many months ago, my cousin Katie was in the hospital after a horrible car accident. I visited her often and got to know a few of my Auntie Shannon's relatives and friends as they also came to visit. As I was talking about my issues one day, her friend Jill said to me "just let it go". Of course, at the time, I was slightly put off - who was she to tell me what to do and how to act or react? But you know what? January 14, 2013 at 8:23 AM. A very up...

Motherhood and Everything Else: July 2012
http://motherhoodandeverythingelse.blogspot.com/2012_07_01_archive.html
Motherhood and Everything Else. Wednesday, July 4, 2012. Vaughn started swimming lessons on Monday morning. First time doing something unparented - he's growing up so fast! He started in the Sea Otter class and will move to Salamander and then Sunfish and that will be it for the summer. There are 2 particular mothers of kids in Vaughn's class that need to reread the lesson policies they signed off on. Rule 6 states:. Shut it off and talk to the instructor after the class is over. And other lady - if your...

Motherhood and Everything Else: June 2011
http://motherhoodandeverythingelse.blogspot.com/2011_06_01_archive.html
Motherhood and Everything Else. Saturday, June 25, 2011. Last night was an emotional one for me. I entered the Relay for Life with 10 friends from work. We raised over $10,000 and you could just feel the love everywhere. I was honoured to speak for our group at 2:00 AM - we were asked to talk to how our group got together and why we were relaying. Here's my speech:. Also with the Cole Crusaders are Vickie and Kim from our Edmonton office. Both of these women work under a lot of pressure, but you woul...

Motherhood and Everything Else: Pa Rump Pa Pum Pum
http://motherhoodandeverythingelse.blogspot.com/2013/12/why-is-everyone-so-upset-that-winter.html
Motherhood and Everything Else. Thursday, December 19, 2013. Pa Rump Pa Pum Pum. Why is everyone so upset that winter programs at schools don't have traditional Christmas carols? I can understand it if your kid goes to a Christian/Catholic school, but if your child is in a public school what's the big deal if they are singing about snowflakes and Santa vs Baby Jesus? Immigrating to Canada does not mean assimilation, or does it? When did we start that? Parents no longer smoke in vehicles when their kids a...

Motherhood and Everything Else: Plenty Off-ish
http://motherhoodandeverythingelse.blogspot.com/2013/04/plenty-off-ish.html
Motherhood and Everything Else. Friday, April 19, 2013. So I have taken the plunge and have tried to start dating again. I signed up on match.com only to be matched with men whose sole criteria in a partner was that they were thin or athletic/toned. Sole. Criteria. Glad so many men have their priorities in check. Waste of $60.00, that's what that was. And when I tried to tell them why I was leaving them, they just wanted to give me another 3 months free. Why? I thought then, why fight it? The US Governme...

Motherhood and Everything Else: April 2013
http://motherhoodandeverythingelse.blogspot.com/2013_04_01_archive.html
Motherhood and Everything Else. Tuesday, April 30, 2013. Last week I requested a meeting with a client and suggested Monday. The time I asked for was 11:00, have a meeting and then go for lunch. She told me the only time she wasn't free Monday was between 11:30 and 1 because she was volunteering serving lunch at the Calgary Drop-In Centre. She told me I should come. I said sure. Jorge explained to us that the clients come and sit down at a table prior to the meal times and that the volunteers bring the f...

Motherhood and Everything Else: November 2013
http://motherhoodandeverythingelse.blogspot.com/2013_11_01_archive.html
Motherhood and Everything Else. Thursday, November 21, 2013. Hi, my name is Kerry and I'm an atheist. I don't believe in God. This may come as a shock to some, not so shocking to others. What I believe is that there is good in everyone and people are in my lives for a reason. I don't practice any religion but I suppose if I did the one I would most closely affiliate myself with is Buddhism. And then today an acquaintance posted this on facebook with a big ol' AMEN in front of it:. It’s “inapp...We’...

Motherhood and Everything Else: November 2011
http://motherhoodandeverythingelse.blogspot.com/2011_11_01_archive.html
Motherhood and Everything Else. Saturday, November 26, 2011. Well all 2 of you that might read this - chances are you already know what has happened in my life since July, but I guess I might as well make it real and put it in writing. In late July, I came home from a week's vacation with Vaughn in Montana to find out that Tim had been unfaithful. He swears it was only one time, but if he lied to me about what happened, why wouldn't he lie about whether it was more than once? I have friends though that d...
