The ‘Middle Wife’ by an Anonymous 2nd grade teacher I’ve been teaching now for about fifteen years. I have two kids myself, but the best birth story I know is the one I saw in my own second grade classroom a few years back. When I was a kid, I loved show-and- tell. So I always have a few sessions with my students. It helps them get over shyness and […] Read More
I love nature. And I love taking pictures of the beauty I see. Here’s some random photos I’ve taken.
I’ve been doing a lot of thinking about my job lately. I’ve been evaluating the past two months and the circumstances in my office and some of the things that happened. I’m learning more about myself. How do I learn? I need to think things over for a while. I need time and space to do this. I’ll have emotional reactions about things and then I have to figure out […] Read More
I thought this person summed things up very well on his Facebook group “Get Informed: The Pro’s and Con’s of a Coalition Government”: “I feel there is a great majority of Canadians that think this is a bad thing or think it is a coup.

First of all, when they were elected to lead Parliament the last go around, they made a […] Read More
My blog posts have been very few and far between over the last few months. The Fall is such a difficult time for me due to how busy it gets at work. And this year was worse than last year! It looks like we’ve had over 40% more business for the month of November this year compared to last year. That’s insane! Because November is always a busy month anyways. […] Read More
Guess what happened here…
These pictures don’t do it justice, but you’ll get the idea. Imagine soft music in the background. It really is quite relaxing in there.
I think I posted a couple of months ago that I was working on a ‘prayer room’ in our home. It’s a tiny room in our basement (8’x7′) that we renovated when we put up insulation . Previously, it was a very ugly storage room. Well, we got up the drywall eventually and then it took several months before I finished with all the mudding and sanding (boy is that […] Read More
Oh wait… we’re in OCTOBER already. Well September’s been so busy it hasn’t really sunk in that we’re actually in October yet. New employees at work, new people to train, busiest conference season of the year… it’s been intense. Home renos. Not a lot of breaks. Daughter did a faceplant off a slide on Friday (her nose looks NASTY! – it’s now a disgusting shade of green, but she’s a […] Read More
