Goldie lives for another day...

Goldie is swimming about - the right way up...so it seems our TLC has helped and she is doing good! He...she...not sure....and Susie wants to know if goldfish pee......you can SEE they poop but do they pee?????? The water never goes yellow but then I guess they are drinking water all day so it would be clear anyway....but yuck they must swim around in their pee.....

Still, she/ he is alive and getting better :) woohoo!

Please vote today!!!

Sharon just sent me this and I've voted - please do the same - it only takes a minute!

This was posted on a parenting board that I am a member of, it is such a sad story (if you read her story)
Please go to the link and vote for her!


Crystal Hehr (31) was diagnosed with terminal cancer just after giving birth to daughter, Mattea this past summer. Crystal is not doing very well and her days are numbered. This Monday, Crystal is one of ten finalist with an opportunity to win Calgary’s Vibe 98.5 FM $50,000 Dream Baby Shower. The contest winner will be determined by online voting and the prize money could make a huge difference for Crystal and her family (who haven’t had any real income in monthssince husband, Anthony left his job to provide for her daily care). That’s why I am posting this note and request. Please take a moment to vote ( http://www.vibe985.com/node/623721 ) for Crystal & Anthony (Finalist #4) today. And please pass this message on to as many people as you can. Contest close date is this Sunday, November 25th. Crystal has been an amazingly positive person throughout this whole ordeal and we want to do everything we can to support her and her family.

Charlie on the run....





Amber and Rosie got Charlie into trouble today...they had headed up to our neighbours home to see Gizmo and Yogi...and Charlie followed them! I saw her walking towards the road - she NEVER wanders that far so I knew she was following the dogs....I called her back and she comes running - I tell you, seeing a fat pog like Charlie run fast is soooo funny! She can motor despite her size lol!

The dogs got back fast though...and Charlie just ran through the flower bed instead of walking around it lol! When she got back she wasn't interested in her daily apple - nice to see her out though as yesterday she stayed in her bed all day....

Report card day...

It's only 3:30pm and I'm exhausted and I still have to go out tonight....its been a good day but BUSY....lots of errands to run!

We got up and went into town to Parentlink. It was a good morning - time flies there!!! Samantha gave me a gift when I got there - a pig that 'oinks' a Christmas song!!! Lol she knew I was looking for a friend for Charlie! Too funny! She also gave me such a pretty thank you card for Friday night - with a wonderful message inside :)

Today the story at circle time was The Hungry Caterpillar and Samantha had this apron that she could stick all the characters to! It was really cool! Snack was apples with cinnamon sprinkles, cheese and goldfish :) My two were very happy :) The craft was 'Gak' which is really funny because we had planned to make some at home this afternoon anyway! But we will make it tomorrow now! Sam spent most of his time building with the huge wooden blocks. Samantha invited me to quiz night tomorrow night which I would have gone to except I have a meeting at the hall to go to :(

After parentlink, we drove to Walmart to deliver a letter...then to the mall to return some dvd's for Samantha and to pick up some chocolates from Laura Secord for the Christmas party. Ran into Chapters for some magazines and then back to the car....drove to Costco to collect a $50 gift card they gave us for the party.....LOVE Costco!!!! So many stores have stupid policies when it comes to donations but Costco are great!

Then we headed home finally - checked mail to find my Creating Keepsakes magazine...yay!

The kids got home just after us and we have been doing a few chores.....Chris has been phoning round various businesses for me...they brought their report cards home with them - Susannahs is FABULOUS - she got excellent in everything and her teacher said she felt blessed to have her in her classroom.....that Susannah is a leader in her class (this shocks me and shows that her year at home really worked wonders for her confidence!) Laurences report card didn't surprise me (sigh) he got honours in a couple of subjects and then got 63% in a couple of others....his teacher said he is capable of more and she is soooo right about that! Chris too - he got honours in a couple of subjects and 70's in other subjects and he is also capable of much much more....but I also know that junior high is a time for social lives and fitting in and so I am hoping that they get this out of their system and then buckle down and study in high school.....Basically though, none of them are struggling and they all have positive things about their report cards.....all have their teachers saying how much they enjoy having them in their class and thats very important too!

I slipped off a seat at parentlink today and now have a big lump on my arm....what a dork lol - luckily the only peole to see were Sam and Abby and they're more than used to seeing me being a dork ;)

Tonight is date night...we're doing some Christmas shopping and Lloyd said something about him wanting a new jacket.....so maybe we will look for one for him.

Chris is over the moon because we measured him on the wall and he is almost an inch taller than me!!!!

At Costco I bought a big bag of sugar - their bags are HUGE.....with baking and everything else it doesn't last long! This bag for sure won't last long because it leaked all in the car and then leaked all through the house while I carried it in.....sigh.....

I'm tired and as much as I am looking forward to an evening out with Lloyd, I would be just as happy to curl up with a good movie and a box of After Eights! I'm not at home now until Saturday night as tomorrow I have a meeting all evening and Friday its movie night at the hall....Laurie is going to a sleepover birthday party on Friday and Chris is sleeping over at school as Friday night they are doing a 24 hour fast for charity - raising money for the school in Africa that their school supports....

I haven't been for a run today....I could go now and get it done before I go out, but I am drained, so I think I will just not do it today....

Tomorrow we are making sugar cookies and Gak! Probably staying home...Lloyd will be home early as Sunshine's (from LP) DH is coming over in the afternoon to give us a quote for electrical work....and Sunshine might be coming over to say hi and meet Charlie!

Goldie in ICU....


WE came home today to find our goldfish fighting for his life....he's floating on his side again struggling to breathe...like he was a few weeks ago when we thought he was going to die...but he IS breathing....

We changed the water so he had lots of oxygen and he is breathing more easily but it doesn't look good :(

Poor little thing!!!!
