Me and My Family

Well, I'm a single mom. I live in Halifax, Nova Scotia, with my beautiful daughter, Lily. I am part of the Canadian Armed Forces, and I've just gone back to work after a year maternity leave. Being part of the Forces is a challenge some times, as I'm worried about having to go on deployment and missing out on time with my baby, but I know that I am helping to make a differance in the world.

Lily is such an amazing baby. I never really thought that I would have babies of my own, as I've had several miscarriages and I have alot of internal scarring. But in August of 2005 I found out I was pregnant again. I was paranoid that I was going to lose this one too, so I really didn't get excited about it until I was about 5 months pregnant and realized that this one was gonna stick.

Even though everyone told me I was having a boy, I knew that I was going to have a girl. I'd always wanted a baby girl, thought I thought I was going to have to adopt, which I was perfectally content with. And on May 10th 2006 my little bundle of joy came into the world by emergency c-section.

And now my little one is a whole year old! Wow time flys sooooo fast!

House is sold!!!

Comment Published at 05:3905:391 comments1 comments8 Visits8 VisitsReport

My house sold over the weekend! Yay!

I'm sad too tho, I love my house, we haven't even been in it a year.

But thank god for rising house market costs! Way better than investing!

We're moving Aug 15th. Hopefully Yellowknife has a bit of summer left for us when we get there. I need to get some parkas!

Yellowknife!

For everyone wondering where the heck that is......

ta da!!!!!!

We'll be living in the great white north! with the polar bears and the igloos and the sled dogs!

I was pretty sad to find out that penguins live on the other side of the equator... I thought they just lived in the cold and snow!

I'm soooooo excited!!!! I've always wanted to go dog sledding (I'm a weirdo, I know) and I'll be making tonnes of money. And it's only for 3 years. And they send me to mexico for a week every year! I think it's because it's dark 24 hrs a day for a while, and they are afraid of people going postal from lack of sun, but whatever! free vacation!

God I love my job!

But I'm excited! We're gonna go dogsledding and see polarbears and the northern lights!

Anyway, back to painting! it's never ending!!!!!

So I guess I'm getting a new bathroom....

Comment Published at 17:4717:475 comments5 comments25 Visits25 VisitsReport

In continuing with my home renos, i decided to paint the downstairs half bath. Sounds simple, eh? Well then I decided to pull up the baseboards because they'd be easier to paint. Again... really simple!

THERE WAS MOLD!!!! And my subfloor is friggin rotten!!!!

So I bought a pry bar to take the subfloor up so I can replace it... And in a fit of passion I smashed it (only 6 or 7 times!) into the wall. So I guess I'm going to have to get a new bathroom. Hopefully one with a nice big tub :)

Looking into contractors now...

I probably shouldn't have smashed the drywall off... but maybe it'll save me some money in labour costs when they come and make everything pretty!

Well.. I should probably go back to smashing...

Very theraputic... I'd recomend it.
