Canada Day Celebrations....a time for pause....

Sometimes trying to do everything at once only gives you calluses, sore feet and a massive headache. Ask me, because I've learned this the hard way.

At the moment, I'm working constantly with telephones, internet.....trying to find a way for my family to have some stability fast. Oh yes...we do have stability.....but this is like giving ur kids a hard candy to suck on, just until you get the sucker. LOL!!!

So in between speaking with the housing authority, finding out about the new Jerry Love programs, trying to secure the kids subsidized YMCA privelages, applying for help with Islamic school fees for Sept, driving to the food bank......oh I could go on and on......I have so much going on right now.

One of the most important is that I'm about to put in a formal complaint with the Registrar General for the marriage of hubbex. It seems that they are going after the sheikh....but need some official stuff......I'm the first who is standing in line.......

And yet........completely caught unawares....I found out that I need to breathe at the same time as all this running and shaking!!! WTH?? Why didn't anyone tell me?

So off we went yesterday to take part in the Canada Celebrations.........We sat and listened...(and grooved)....to the songstress Krista Blondin. She had so much energy I was amazed. For her last song she belted out Janis Joplins...Take a little piece of my Heart......and I was pretty impressed.

Everywhere I turned I saw muslim sisters dressed in red and white....some sporting canada flags on the cheeks......LOL!! Do we take pride in this country?

We made our way over to this great piece of flat ground....that had a nice size hill behind it......and next thing you know....at least 50 kids were rolling down. Imagine sitting and watching all these kids!!! LOLOL!! (oh the yelling mothers saying...NOT ON UR KNEES, JORDAN!! YOU'LL GET GRASS STAINS ON YOUR NEW JEANS!!!!) HAHAHAHA!!!

At one point....my 5 yr old came over to me and wanted to ask me a private question....she said to me..."why are there no daddies at our house?" I'm sure she was looking at all the families and thinking. She's going to be a handful! Seems like she wants to trade her Mommie in for a new model.....when I told her that I'll call the store and see if they have any...she backtracked quick and said to me...."OH ALRIGHT! I'LL KEEP YOU!"

Funny.

The fireworks started and it was all oooing and ahhhhing for us. Yelling and screaming....LOL!! It was a night to remember. Our first night under the fireworks. Even my mother enjoyed herself.........

Oh yes....I need this reminder for myself. To take a pause, to breathe......and what better reason??

OOOOHHHH! AAAAAHHHH!
