Xxx so so glad and happy everyone made it through the hurricane safely. Watching the destruction on the news was very eye opening.
Being English is really amusing sometimes...last night yes...we had strong winds and lashing rain....but people are posting pics of their garden chairs being blown over ..and their waste bins with no lids and calling it " devastating". Funny old World. Xxxx

Why should you never marry a tennis player?

Because to tennis players, love means nothing

“Don’t plant your bad days. They grow into weeks. The weeks grow into months. Before you know it you got yourself a bad year. Take it from me. Choke those little bad days. Choke ’em down to nothin’. They’re your days. Choke ’em!”


6:20am in Alberta, today is going to be a darn good day not to drink!

24 more for me please, and thanks...

Still troubled by several situations I have no idea how to deal with, but that's where faith and hope come in. Those came in with sobriety and disappeared when I went back out. Those are huge gifts. I forget to notice them sometimes, but how? They're like the delightful elephants in the room.

My husband will need to figure out practices, and how to get my little guy to soccer.
My mom's birthday is the 6th of October, so it will be an early birthday surprise. The nice thing about not needing to frantically get on a plane, I was able to find a round trip nonstop flight in JetBlue for 306 after taxes, and then 163 for the car rental for the four days. That is how much my one way flight cost last time.

I am going to try to fly home a few times a year, the next time I am going to shoot for thanksgiving break with the kids.
Sounds like a good plan. Your mom will be so pleased.
