Well, the three wounded Cdn soldiers are back home with their families. They are in a local hospital and still recovering but at least back on home soil. One of the guys is still struggling a lot but everyone is remaining hopeful. The other two are getting better everyday. As always, they are all still in our thoughts and prayers.

Some exciting news is I have been approached by a film producer to help with a documentary on the lives of military wives. This is all so exciting and I am so anxiously awaiting more details. It will be a great opportunity to get to have our "say" and let people really know about the lives we lead each and everyday.

Any other news...hmmmm???......we are still doing well with dh away. Only a few more weeks and he will be home on leave. We will start getting really excited soon. It just seems too far off right now. Dd is getting ready to go back to the next level of swimming and playgroup. The soother battle seems to be over and in a month or so I will try moving on to the next "hurdle". LOL should be fun.

January 22, 2006....Feeling thankful and blessed.....

So not much new has been happening. Dh found out when his HLTA is and so we are looking forward to that. He seems to be doing well with work but is still looking forward to coming home. Maybe he can stay for a while.

As far as news on the three Cnd troops hurt in Afghanistan, two are doing well but one is really struggling. We are all praying for the best possible outcome for all three and their families. I really do hope they know they are in our thoughts and prayers constantly.

I am hoping I can watch some tv and work on my cross stitch tonight after dd heads to bed. I haven't worked on it in so long, I hope I haven't forgetten how.

January 19, 2006....Another celebration without dh....

So, it is our anniversary and dh is away. Boo hoo. Dd and I will be eating dinner out and laying around watching tv. I can only imagine what dh will be doing, if he remembers what today is. LOL.

I am excited as I finally added an Odeo podcast link on my site. Once I get my mic back I will be able to chat with you and you can hear my clips by clicking the button(it's green and located in the last "box" of this page). WOO HOO.

Dd has finally "lost" her soother and we are on DAY 3 of our "adventure". She is doing okay except she is having a really hard time going to sleep without it and staying asleep through the night. Now, she is like a baby bear cub and I am tooo tired to fight with her.

A friend's dh was injured in Afghanistan Sunday and we are sending lots of thoughts, prayers, and best wishes to him, her, her family, the guys that were with him and those that are all around them. Seems so surreal for me, I can't even begin to imagine how she must feel.

January 14, 2006....A Room Full of People....
Goodness, I just started this blog and already I am falling behind. I miss dh more than ever sometimes, though my days go on uninterupted. Meals still have to be cooked, cleaning must still be done, dd must still get a big portion of my day and....sometimes so little is really left for me. There are days I could be in a room full of people and still be all alone.

Though I hope these days come to an end I still cherish something in them. Maybe the quiet or the solitude, I'm not really sure. I wonder if the path I am following is the one I am meant to lead?! Ah, getting way to deep for this blog. Dh is doing well and we are fine, I have friends and things to do here. It really does some ever busier since he left, but I know there is a light at the end of this windy tunnel, as faint is it may be at times.

I got the Sims 2 and have been addicted to it ever since. At least some little piece of time and enjoyment I have for just me. It helps and I know I need it.

January 12, 2006....A Skating Protege....
I took dd to her skating lessons yesterday now that Christmas break is over. I thought 5 weeks off would be too long for her to retain what she had learned but to my amazement it didn't. She actually skated on her own, not a big distance but a distance all the same. Dh is sooo upset he missed it. I can only hope that he is away a lot now so that later on down the road he can be home to see this stuff. I am a proud mama. And oh, today was a relatively quiet day. I played with dd and the Sims. I haven't done the latter in forever and now I want the Sims 2. It's on my wishlist. LOL :)

January 10, 2006....Welcome to my home....
Welcome to my BLOG. It was a while getting it up and together but here I am. This site will grow as I do. It's my own little stop on the web for just me to come and be me.

Dh is deployed again but it always seems like that. I hope someday soon all this slows down. We miss him lots and I am sure he knows that.

Stay a while and look around. Drop me a line in my ShoutBox before you leave.
