I get into big bubbles in my life often. I have work
bubble/family bubble/friend bubble/ health bubble/ worry about scoliosis
bubble/worry about Hubby bubble/worry about Mom health bubble/ summer
bubble/winter bubble…the list goes on and on.
The family /friend/work bubble is the most consistent and
constant and never really disappears but the rest often come and go. And when
they appear they are strong and take over. For the moment I have been in strong
“you have a new consultant career bubble that took you by surprise “bubble’. It’s
taking a lot of my brain cell time these days.
So I am listing a few noteworthy other events and bubbles
that happened lately or are soon happening that I don’t want to forget:
-Easter we celebrated a week late at my mom’s and it was
such a nice and relaxed evening. She did a big hunt for the kids and in their
big gifts of Choco bunnies they all found them with no ears!!! She had eaten
them!!!! We all found this super cute and funny and then in the hunt they found
the ears separately. My mom is so sweet and funny and good at this stuffJ)
-We had a family get together at Trent with my Mom’s side
of the family. Was very fun and nice to finally get together again. My Mom
organized a surprise for me and had a cake made looking like the cover of my
book!!!! It was so sweet and the best cake ever and a card from all and a nice
gift. I was truly so surprised and this was so touching and unexpected. I will remember
it forever.
-Chase has a busy few months upcoming. Driver’s theory
test next week and drivers licence test in June! Graduation ceremony and Prom
coming up in June! Two summer jobs lined up for June! The kid amazes me and is
growing up. We are impressed and proud of him-so much going on in his life. Sec
5(grade 11) is no easy grade especially in the advanced math and science stream
and he is holding his own-this stuff is not easy for him-but he is doing it. Go
Chase!
-Hubby had a choir show at Place des Arts. I went with
the kids and Didi. Over 100 person choir and full orchestra. It was really
beautiful and a special evening for Hubby
-I am offsite all next week delivering a leadership program
with the colleague I co-authored the book with. It will be and intense week and
a fun one too. I love delivering this program- it is so impactful.
-I am busy these days trying to plan a lot of my life
bucket list into 2015 given that my schedule is very different than it has been
other years and may be in future years. Lemons to lemonade I say.
-Beauty’s dance shows are coming up middle week. She has
a number of shows and they prepare big time for this. Weekends all day, all
days after school, evenings, professional days. Their dance show is not an amateur
thing. All tickets for all shows have been sold out most years and most to the public.
Most of their teachers have studies at some of the most famous schools in NYC.
I can’t wait to see our Girl!!!
-Bear is obsessed with HABS and the series. We can forget
about any type of school schedule or routine at this time of the years. It’s just
sort of a given that he follows the series-eats a ton of chicken wings at Cage
aux sports and is not home or available during any games. That is the type of freedom
you get to have when you have marks like hisJ
-Childhood Wonder and I had a great long road trip to
Nanny’s funeral together and got lost many times! We had great talks and helped
each other out in our lives. It is so rare to have that amount of time to talk
to a friend. I really enjoyed it…it was precious.
-Hubby is taking up biking (ok he did it once ) but for
him this is a big step. I am excited to see if he will take it up as a regular
thing.
-I am really trying to find my way with technology. The more
I am on email and texts the less I have time for anything else. Reading goes down
the tube, blogging goes down the tube, creativity
goes down the tube. I am trying to set more limits for myself in evenings. The
consulting route too is blurring it a bit-I need to change all my habits it is hard.
This weekend I have put my phone away and email fully and although it feels weird-it
feel so good too. Yesterday Hubby and I went to cottage alone and read and napped and
watched movies and ate and napped again. I love this.
-I need to trust the process for something more private
in my life and I am trying to do this even though life has made it harder
lately. I am trying to keep the faith, trust in someone I do believe in overall
has good intentions and I have trusted immensly, trust that things will work
out and go as planned and trust in this person and the process. Life has bumps
along the way that can sometimes cloud our perceptions. I am trying to stay on
track and believe that the universe will work it all out. This is who I want to
be.
-Lastly-it is Mother’s Day next weekend and I am so desperately
proud of my Mom. She despite major obstacles is doing some great work on
herself this year and I am soooo proud of her. Next weekend we will celebrate with
her and go to Beauty’s show with her and my Uncle and boys. Then Sunday brunch
with Mom and family and Uncle Boo and then the cemetery to visit Grampy2 and
Grandpapa is on-this will be interesting. (her specialty is taking what humans hate
about their appearances and highlighting it in art while they pose naked). I am
going for it and praying she will never ask me to be her model!! (we are not in
touch very often but really want to see her show as she is very well known and
want the kids to see this part of their family life)
Goodbye!!! Happy Sunday
