Pivital Moments.

You know what I'm talking about. Those memories you have in your head that come to mind sometimes and make you smile. You're first kiss, the first time you rode your bike alone, the first time you took your parents car out to shoot the drag 10 minutes after you got your liscense.

The first, your firsts.

Not only did I experience one for myself today but I was a part of one.
Today I taught my daughter how to swim.

I remember my mom trying to teach me how to swim when I was a kid, it didn't work mind you, she can't swim. What I remember is her putting aside her fear of the water in all places Dominion beach and trying to teach her child how to swim. I did learn, years later, but I can't remember exactly when, but I do remember her trying.

Today I hope will be a memory in my daughters head like that. Of her in her fish floatie and her mom in that ugly green bathing suit. It's very odd.... something so small to many people I'd imagine, and I have such a sense of profound purpose, like I did something big today.

I'm very happy.. and calm for one split second this week, I think the calmness stuck me quite litterally with a splash of water hitting my face, as my baby paddled away from me across the pool.

I haven't cried for joy in a long time.
he-he who've thunk I'd love being a mom this much.

Another day, another year older.

Well this month I turned another year older... again...

28 years so far, and still kicking it old school =)
I had to work on my b-day but i had a few days off before so it was good.
Had my favorite Bday cake, and got some nice gifts, and had breakfast made for me.
It was nice, and chris gave me one of the nicest presents I ever received.

He gave me a day at the spa, I went on Tuesday for 3 hours and actually had people wait on me.
It was weird at first, but I got use to it fast. Then I left with a french manicure, pedicure, facial and my hair done. Chrsi took the baby all day and they spent it at the park and they fed the ducks, so all had a great day .

Yesterday we went to the circus. Hincheys is in town as is the yearly custom. We went in and what do you know... everyday is braclet day now. So 18$ late Raven has her lime green braclet and is heading for the "circus wheel". This is the big ride she has been going on about all year. The ferris wheel... momys nightmare. I hate heights!!!!

Chris to the rescue. Chris becomes the serrogate rider. First it's the ferris wheel, then the big slide, the tilt a whirl, the spider, the berries, the ferris wheel again. 2 hours into it, Chris' mom came to get her wallet which was in our car and brought his 2 nieces. So we stole them and got them braclets too. Repeat the prevoius rides, add raiders of the lost arc...mini raiders space ships, merry go round... and well... you get my point.

6 hours at the circus in total, we got home at about 1030pm and Raven passed out before her head hit the pillow.

Unfortunatley we woke up to her vomiting all over the place. The flu has come once again. So for most of the morning we were chasing the baby with the bucket, but, after a nap, she's eating a little and playing. I'm thinking it was a 24 hour bug.

My book is once again progressing. For some who know me, for the last few years I have been compiling information to write a childrens book. Once again I have started writing since all my earlier stuff has gone missing in the move.

Updates will be posted of course :P
