I wish the "life police" would pull me over, and throw me in jail(a nice quiet place) or atleast take my "decision license" away, because then I wouldn't have to make adult decisions anymore and that would be fun!I wish I could just slam the breaks on, get out of the car and take a little walk. Let's just hope that after this little "joy-ride"... I come out alive!
If I walked into my house right now, my thought would be "sick, this is a dirty house", and that is not a good feeling, when it is your house
After cleaning smarties, cooking oil, urine, taco soup, pringles, cupcake batter, banana peels and fruit snacks off my kitchen floor, not all at the same time, but all in the same day... I am hoping that the little child responsible for those big messes has a good sleep, and that the other one sleeping in my bed thinks that because she screamed all day today, it will not be necessary tommorrow. I love my babies, and I do enjoy the time with them, but I also think I will enjoy the chance to see their father this weekend!
On the whole life front, we may have found a place to live in Grande Prairie, my date of departure to the Great White North is yet to be determined. Claire is gonna be two very shortly and it breaks my heart, She is starting to talk all the time, except her pronucitation could still use some fine tuning. Olivia is still huge... and sadly still cranky (except when I hold her). Just trying to pack, organize, keep the house clean for showings, raise the girls, make well balanced meals, and say our prayers at night. People say I need to take sometime for myself, and so it is 11:32 at night and I am sitting on the computer, I still have to pack for the weekend, ice some cupcakes, clean the bathroom, take a shower, clean my room and windex those adorable little finger prints of every surface in my house!
One look at my little babies though, and the trials that accompany their sweet spirits make is all worth it!

I'm sorry you're having a hard time!!!! But you get to see Dave this weekend???? YAY! So wait, you said you're having showings...are you moving sooner than you originally thought?
I agree that you need a break! I'm sorry Meg. I love ya! It will all slow down soon and you will just be that much stronger for all that you have done! You're doing a great job!
You're such a good mom, Meaghan. Things will get easier too. I'm going to miss you all when you head up north. But I'm glad that you and the girls will be with Dave again. I can't imagine life a single mom. You've done a great job.
Meg you're such a great mom and wife!! You are fabulous!
Hey Meaghan,
I hope you don't mind that I am reading your blog....
I just wanted to tell you that I somewhat know what you are going through. My husband is also a welder, and although he hasn't had to go up north for work yet, he does work very long hours, leaving before anyone is up in the morning, and often getting home when the kids are already in bed!
I often feel like a single mother, and struggle with trying to do it all by myself. Just try to remind yourself, that this time will pass, and before you know it your girls will be grown, so try to enjoy every precious day with them!
My love goes out to you Meaghan. I'm sad you will be out of town this weekend though as Ian and I are coming to Calgary. If anything changes and you are around on Sunday come by the Schnell's. We would love to see you and the girls.
That's a great picture of you, by the way.
Ok- you are not alone. Just remember that! Yes, I am far away from family... my husband is gone 12 hours a day... my kids are crazy, my house is a mess.. Claire LOVES to be fussy...
It will all be done and over before you know it. The kiddies will grow up and you won't know what to do with yourself! Well, people say that and I think, "oh yes, I will!!!" So, then maybe you will. :)
Love ya!
Love it! Every word! I can relate. Keep hangin in there. You are doing an awesome job!
