“The race, the race is not over”

Ah Messala, I have quoted you many times.  And yes……the race goes on.  Life trundles on.  

We have it no where near as bad as some these days.  And I haven’t even done a wack of blog surfing lately, so I have yet to catch up on the lives of my fellow bloggers.

Time is the big thing these days. We just don’t seem to have enough of it.   I never have enough time to blog.  Nothing good anyway.  I am behind in all the causes and issues.  Strollerderby pointed out this issue for the American moms out there.  I experienced pretty bleak, but short lived PPD with my first born.  It felt like I was standing on the edge of a dark and deep pit….teetering there.  I pulled back.  I feel for those who have had a more difficult journey.  I did not have the same experience with my second child, however, this pregnancy has flung moments of deep and scary depression in my face.  So much so that I went straight to my OB/GYN and she instantly referred me to a therapist who specializes in pregnancy and depression.   I am enjoying my sessions with her and wow, Celexa is my new best friend.    I am truly grateful  for my doctors and the care I have available.

Our family has been embittered by the Canadian medical system in our experiences with the inlaw’s horrendous illnesses and deaths…but I have been looked after well.

At least this little creature is safe.

Sorry…still can’t get CH’s scanner working just now.  That time thing again.

The daycare kids eat into my time and energy.  CH is swamped with work and dealing with estate stuff.  He has also been trying to decorate for Halloween inbetween the deluges of rain that have been hitting us.

The real scary stuff won’t be up till Halloween, but he has made some lovely wreathes of Halloween coloured lights for the outside of the house.

Caity and CH had a lovely morning at the pumpkin patch.  Adam’s class is going there on Friday.  CH is apparently going to be locked in a film studio all Friday afternoon and night for a press tour/junket.    Saturday, a friend is doing a little Halloween party for the kids.  This means getting their costumes together.  I am also trying to figure out how I can get from Richmond to Langley for a dinner with my Today’s Parent’s mommy friends in time.

Next week I have to prepare ‘treat’s’ for Adam’s Kindergarten class as they want to do a little party for the kids.

Somewhere….somehow, I need to find time to catch up with friends….in real life.  I also need to start digging out things like maternity wear and sorting the baby stuff.  We also need time to work on my MIL’s house and property and see CH’s grandmother too.   I would also like to do some ‘real’ writing for my blogs.   Hmmm

At least these two are happy.
