It's been so long...

Pregnancy does something to a person... like make them not want to blog, read books, eat (depending on the morning sickness.) So since hockey has started the following things have been going on in our house:

• Tesla and Karl get sick with a bad cold
• Tesla gets sick with another bad cold
• I get a bad sinus infection
• Karl takes on a huge side job (same week I have the sinus infection)
• Karl has cataract surgery (next one next week)
• Morning sickness ends at week 18.5 of pregnancy at least enough to stop taking drugs.
• Karl started drinking more. (Definitely connected to me being pregnant... more on that later)

I know this is all very exciting. It explains a lot. Like

• why our dayhome provider is broke. Thanks to many sick days. (I actually don't see her finances but I can only assume)
• why sunlife and blue cross aren't returning our phone calls (It pays to have a health provider)
• why our friends only want to talk to us on the phone.

Since I'm into lists here is a list of things I would like to blog about but really don't think its appropriate since I tend to have a lot of opinions. It's a short list.

1. Other people. Actually one in particular but contrary to popular belief I really do love this person I just think they're slightly crazy. Don't worry it's not Karl. Maybe I should start a secret blog. Or maybe I'm the crazy one and no one is willing to say anything. (Hafta love those hormones.) Or maybe your all thinking I want to blog about you and your going crazy just thinking about it.

It's time to end this day's entry. Just one more thing...

At church last month they were talking about forgiveness and it was suggested that if your feeling have been hurt you need to tell the offender. I mostly agree with this however, if you aren't or haven't seen the person for a long time since the offence (because they move away or change social groups) and probably won't see them again, should you seek the person out and tell them your feelings were hurt or should you just let sleeping dogs lie and lick your own wounds?

Hockey is going to start. Sigh!

My husband loves hockey. He loves the oilers. He loves oiler hockey so much that we watched every games last year. I mean every game... not just the oiler's. Apparently when you cheer for a team you have to know how the competition is doing. If you can't watch it you have to listen to it on the radio. In normal years, the oilers have been elimanted in the first round (by Dallas) but not last year. Edmonton's last game was in June and their first game is Thursday. I think I need another hockey strike!

The f-word

Somebody taught my daughter the f-word.
Yesterday, she pointed to another person and said "fat body."

I am not happy!

I have worked with too many anorexic teenagers and struggled with my own weight to be even remotely happy that my two year old knows, understands and uses the word fat. So we are reinforcing to the world that the f-word is not to be used around our daughter and especially not used to describe our daughter.

If you need an alternative to describe Tesla you can try... cute, strong, naked (if she is naked)... to name just a few.

Happy Birthday

Thanks everyone for making Tesla's birthday so much fun!

This is not a diary

I was talking to one of my nearest and dearest friends the other day and I was telling her about all the things I would like to blog but can't since anyone can read my blog. I'm just not brave enough...

If this was a diary I might tell you that this week has been crummy... but this is not a diary. So I have nothing to say... until later.
