Off to the lake we go to the lake! If you don’t remember “the Lake” means we are heading the island lake to see his mom and the kids then later head out to Athabasca to see his ant and uncle and their kids.

On the way there it sprinkled on and off but once everyone got to the house at the same time the rain was done. I ended up in the back yard with his siblings (2 sisters and one brother) we played on the swings and made rings and bracelets out of long grass. Now these kids love me, shocking I know!

Once Chris and his mom joined us in the backyard the girls started learning how to take photos.. yes the 6 and 4 yr old were taking photos and ill be real here, the did pretty good.

Later on we had dinner and the girls insisted I sit between them at the table ^_^ once we cleaned up his moms husband suggested going out on the boat and for a swim. So we all changed into swim wear with warmer cloths ontop and headed out on the boat.

Again the girls both needed to sit on my lap on the ride to the lake as well as on the lake, soon we found shore and everyone but me and his mom got out of the boat and headed into the lake. They had tones of fun and I got a bunch of photos to show it. My favorite is the one of Chris’s Sister Vanessa screaming and running from Chris scaring and splashing her, and the one of Chris splashing his other sister Cheyenne.

After the sun started to set we headed back home and I read the girls a veggie tails book before bed and before Chris and I headed to a neighbors house right off the lake for some campfire fun. We stayed up till 4:30AM !!! And the kids waking up in a few hours was not a happy thought ^_^

After his mom and her husband tried hard to keep the kids out of the living room to let us sleep till about noon we got up to the yummy smell of eggs and bacon. Once dressed and ready for a new day we headed out to his uncles where we spent the rest of the day hanging out and talking with them.

Hello Beautiful

How times have changed and how things that once were OK are not and no longer carry the same feeling or intent.  When you think of the word “woman” and do you automatically think bitch or hussy, baggage or bit? According to various traditional dictionaries, synonyms for “woman”, which came as a bit of a shock, and possibly more insightful on why certain generations use words such as these to describe a woman. Today at my place of work a gentleman came up to my counter and said "Hello Beautiful" to me. Now, this customer does come in several times a week and is not a total stranger when I'm at work but still. He is in his 50-60s he works either in construction or as a big rig driver, not that any of this is very relevant but it is a generational thing I have noticed amongst folks that speak like that. "'Hello, gorgeous'; 'hi, honey bun or sweetheart, can you get me a coffee?' No man would ever be called sweetheart, ever, in the workplace," T...

Rock, Paper, Control

The feeling of no control. No control over my mental health, my weight, or my physical health. I like to have things planned and organized because that give me some control in my life. I feel though, like those little things are just pieces of paper with a rock on them on a windy day, soon they to will be out of my control. I once had control over my health and weight, but that was nearly 14 yrs ago. Each year I advance in age I loose more and more control over those two things. No Dr. or specialist seem to know why. Back when I had control, my weight would fluctuate but nothing substantial. I was a ball of anxiety and stress back then as well, so nothing there changed. I was more active in those days, doing all the things all the time. Not sure if that was to hide from my brain weasels or having to go home and be around my mother. In college I had around 4 to 5 part time jobs, 16 to 18 credits a semester, homework for both art and academic classes, a significant other, a flourishing g...
