I parked my car at the shops, collected my things (keys, wallet and phone), opened the door to get out....and the radio came on. How does the radio come on without the keys in the car ( Read more... )

It's officially one year since Christopher died, according to my timezone. I'm not sure how I feel about today. Should I put it in Calendars as a day to remember? Is it respectful? I feel ok. I've put today aside to mope and cry and do nothing in case that's what I need but right now it just feels like a Saturday. It's sunny outside, I just spent 3 ( Read more... )

On wednesday 18th April 2012 Grandpa Hunter passed away. I went up to Kelowna for the weekend to be with the family while they sorted things out. When mum comes in June they will hold a memorial, I think they said that Grandpa had requested not to have a service and he was cremated. My aunts found some lovely wee books that fold out awesomely and ( Read more... )

I finally got my first pay cheque for one of my kids. I've been working there 2 months and now I have the money and it will make it easier to budget. My second kid is doing alright. Still lots of tantrums but the consultant is coming in tomorrow to check on things so I can get feedback on what to do if crying goes for more than half an hour. Today ( Read more... )

I just went for an intrview for a home-based behavioural program and it went splendidly. The kid was all over me, they were impressed with my never-grow-up outlook and my calm demeanour when faced with behaviours (=troublesome behaviours like self-injury, shouting, tickles that actually kind of hurt....). They seemed stoked and I can start asap. I' ( Read more... )

I'm never using sensitive toothpaste again. I thought, now that I'm paying for my own dental, sorry mum, I should be a little more proactive. So I changed to stuff that is meant to regrow enamel which made my teeth hurt like hell. I'm now using something else and my teeth still hurt. Could have something to do with the anasthesia that they drilled ( Read more... )

So I have the car back now. With dire reports on its state. Robyn, Stephen and Andy have suggested to resell it and cut losses now. Rachelle's mum knows a mechanic who can give the car a once over for cheap to see if it's worth fixing. Robyn and co. made a list of what is wrong with it and I've temporarily lost that list so here it is now, before I ( Read more... )

Robyn and her friends get back tomorrow night around 5pm and then we'll be going dancing hurrah! Haven't been in weeks. Then we'll be about town on friday before they fly out on friday night ( Read more... )

I slept for about 12 hours last night. I talked to mum on skype and decided I'd had enough of people and everything so got into bed about 5 and fell asleep around 6. I woke up at 8.40 thinking I'd ruined my ability to sleep through the night but fell asleep again, woke up at 11.30 and 4am and finally woke up for good at 7. Feel pretty rested and ( Read more... )

So yesterday I had a line class to help with behavioural concepts and techniques for my interventionist stuff and this girl there says, do I know Erin? Erin had told her that there's a jen at Harmony house (where I work) who she would totally get on with. So we start chatting, I think either there's another Jen or this Erin knows Coralee, my cousin ( Read more... )
