Wow, this week really flew by…and my weekend has started, yay!
Thanks friends, for your comments on my last post – I will remember your encouragement on Sunday. And try not to miss you all too much!
My plans for tonight are being well executed – I am doing mostly nothing, haha. We all went for Indian food at lunch (accountants like to EAT!), so I didnt even have to make dinner – I just ate my bagged lunch for dinner! And I had some yummy chocolate milk – J-M picked it up on his grocery store WIN yesterday – he spent exactly $10 and brought home two tubs of yogurt, a bag of chips, laundry soap, chocolate milk, a cake mix, and a can of icing! I really like having a No Frills close by – when they have deals, they really have deals!
Speaking of deals, what is with Safeway lately!? We keep finding ourselves there and paying reasonable prices….its kind of creeping us out, we dont know what to make of it!
Tomorrow, while J-M is at work, I am going to do some Secret Birthday Shopping. J-Ms birthday is on the 30th, and I have some sweet gift ideas that I cant wait to hunt down – I love gift shopping, especially when I can find the perfect thing that I know will be special! I would share, but there is a small risk of him reading this, and we cant have that.
Saturday we might brave English Bay to take in the second fireworks show. We caught last night’s at Jericho Beach (a fifteen minute walk from home), which offered a pretty good view, but its not the same as being right there. We just werent willing to face crowds and try to fight our way back home on a week night, so Jericho it was. I thought last night’s show was good! The USA did a big-band style performance and the fireworks really suited the music.
Well, thats all for my random Thursday post! Have a good night everyone!
Oh Cassy…I just want to take you into my arms and HUG you. First – is it ironic that I’m listening to Trading my Sorrows and the line, “though the sorrow may last for the night, his joy comes with the morning” played. I thought so.
Anyways, there’s not words I can say that will make you feel better…but I think that sharing and talking about it is such an excellent way to deal with things when they go wrong and not like we planned. It’s hard to be thankful for a miracle like a c-section when that’s not what we wanted. I can’t say from experience, but knowing from reading and listening that people will always say “The important thing is the baby is here and healthy and safe.” And to that I want to yell at those people who say that to women…I want to say, “Yes, but…” Of course, as moms, we’re happy to have our babes and so on and so forth. But at the same time, that little sadness in you, that emotional defeat – it needs to be heard, addressed, and fixed. Emotions can’t be left off the table.
I encourage you to read lots of stories (some of my links on the side of my blog…click and click and click) until you find stories to help you relate. Or at least that’s what I think I’d do.
And thanks for helping remind me that there’s always another side of birth to mentally prepare for
Once you guys are settled and healed, we’d love to come for a visit
