Day 2 *edit one word quiz

[]

the days are getting longer and longer. *sighs* i don’t know if it’s the time change, this insistent cold/throat infection, or the fact that dennis is gone but the days seem to be so long.

sawyer isn’t eating much, especially at supper. he seems to have something against supper. he does alright with breakfast and lunch but doesn’t eat a whole heck of a lot of those either.

the dog is barking right now. he used to be such a nice, quiet dog when he was young. barely ever barked. i think he hates it here as much as i do.

we made it uptown to take the movies back before it rained again today. thankfully.

tomorrow night, i have my last monday yoga session. 🙁 i have to find another one.

this day just keeps getting more blah. irene has a meeting thursday for work but hopefully she can get out of it and still come to visit.

I’m sorry it feels like the days are getting longer 🙁 I’ve been having the opposite, since it’s getting dark so early. But i know how it is when you’re not feeling well or you miss someone. I wonder if your dog is becoming more vigilant and protective (i.e. barking) because your husband is gone. Maybe he senses the need to be extra protective. Don’t worry about giving me all the answers with

cost of living questions – if i REALLY wanted to know i suppose i could just do a search on teacher salaries in different parts of canada, especially now that our currencies are so close. However, even if i found out that salaries are comparable and homes are like 70% cheaper and nicer, I still probably wouldn’t gett off my butt and move up there. I’d just start being jealous 🙂

You sound like I feel. BLAH! I don’t know what’s wrong, but I am in a funk, man. Tristan is in the same boat with eating lately – right now he has a cold so isn’t eating much anyways. But usually he eats like a champ for breakfast and lunch, then picks at his dinner. I suppose if they’re hungry, they’ll eat, right?

.Tavia.

Sorry you’re so bored! I wish my weekend days would go by a little bit slower.

fat, dumb & happy

Maybe Sawyer’s pregnant? LOL sorry but every time I say I have no appetite someone suggests I’m pregnant..whatever. I hope Irene still gets to come visit- that would be a fun diversion 🙂 kristen

Organized Chaos

This time change has not been very fun for us either! The days definitely do seem to be draggggggging on.

What do you agree with clowngirl about?

My True Colors

oh and ill take a pic of it for you to see after I am done

Yes, I have been with my bf for 5 years. I met him in Nov 02. When I met my bf I was using birth control pills. I started birth control pills before I met my bf. I stopped taking them when I moved to where I live now. Don’t ask me why I stopped taking birth control pills. When you say i’m surprised it hasn’t happened sooner do you mean getting pregnant? Thanks for letting me know one only see the doctor once a month while pregnant and then probably once a week for the last month before giving birth. Why does one need to see a doctor once a month during pregnancy? Is it so an ultrasound can be done to see how the baby is doing. Thanks for telling me the following. I hadn’t thought about what you said she meant-i think when she said she could not help you with it much even if you were living around the corner , she meant that she’s not a doctor or social worker and there’s only so much she can do to help you.

What can a doctor and or social worker do that a mom can’t do for a child if they are pregnant? It’s ok you feel my mom is right. And I need to do something about it now. The thing is I have never seen a pregnancy test that didn’t use color to tell you the results. The ones I found online for a store I can get to myself by walking uses color for the results so I can’t use them. Also I am afraid if I did find a pregnancy test that didn’t use color for the results and it did say I was pregnant what I would do next or how my mom would react to me telling her I was pregnant. I know she isn’t to found of the idea that I might be pregnant. Who took you to the doctors when you were pregnant with Sawyer? If I don’t do somethng this month will you stop noting me. I hope not. Now onto something else. Do you know what aisle bread crumbs in a container are located and what aisle cranberry sauce is located in a groccery store? I mean what foods are they next to.

When you say you have to dress up for the Christmas party Denni’s job has do you mean you have to wear a dress or skirt or dress pants and Deniis has to wear a suite and tie or did you mean somethiing else? No my bf and I don’t have to dress up for the Christmas party for the meeting for the blind we are part of. People can wear jeans to it if they want to. Was yesterday Veterans Day in Canada? Today in the US jobs such as banks and the post office are not open due to them observing Veterans Day today.

What kinds of questions does a person who is pregnant want to know from their doctor? What I mean is what did you ask your doctor when you were pregnant with Sawyer? Did you make an appointment to see the doctor again after each visit and before you left that visit or you called in each time for the appointment? I don’t have a social worker. Why would I need one? I think one of my sisters and one of my brothers have a social worker or had one, but I don’t know for sure. I guess in a way you might be right that even if one is afraid of what their moms or bf’s reactions would be or what would happen next, they still have to find out. That is good you wont stop noting and it’s ok you think I am doing the wrong thing by not finding out. It’s ok you don’t know where bread crumbs and cranberry sauce is located in a groccery store. Is the reason you don’t know where these are located is because you don’t buy these two types of foods.

kris.

It’s ok you misread what my mom said about social worker and thought I had a social worker. Thanks for telling me what you would ask your doctor while you were pregnant. What foods are safe to eat when one is pregnant? How could you listen to Sawyers heartbeat every visit? That is good you love cranberries with turkey. Do you eat fresh cranberries or cranberries in a can such as crannberry sauce? If you eat cranberry sauce do you eat the jelled kind or the whole cranberries.

Keeping It Real

awe good thing i got out of the meeting!! 🙂
