Maybe not a miracle.

So what do you do when you buy something fully aware that it might not work for you but you go thru it anyway?

I got a little side tracked last week and the week before. The flood in Calgary has taken it's toll on everyone's personal lives. Everything has been put on hold for about a week and a half, and now it's clean up time!

Finding ways to volunteer when you run a dayhome is difficult. The hours you're needed are the hours you work, and the hours you don't work there's not much to do for the rest of the day!

But I digress. This blog is supposed to be about the miracle pill I bought a while back. Now, it's only been a few weeks and I haven't been able to exercise because of other commitments, but I should be getting back on track soon.

I haven't lost any weight. I've been pretty good at sticking within my weight watchers points, and taking my two pills every day, and I've GAINED weight. I'm actually up... I don't know, I have to check the last blog. But I'm at 218! WHAT. THE. HELL.

I'm unimpressed to say the least and discouraged beyond belief. I'm going to continue taking it. I believe that it will work if I get my butt in gear and start jogging again, or even start going to the gym again. Healthy eating isn't going to do it alone. There has to be exercise too.

And you thought you knew what this blog was going to be about! HA! Shame on you.

I'm not going to bash the garcinia cambogia. It's worked for a number of people and it's natural. So like anything, it's going to take some getting used to and a good combination that will work for me. :)

Wish me luck peeps. I might need it. This is the most optimistic I've ever been about weight loss and I'm determined to make it work this time around. Lots of times when I've tried that new 'diet' or lifestyle change, I think I just sort of expected it to work. I knew that I had to do SOMETHING but didn't think I had to do that much. I know I'm wrong, or at least the way I thought was wrong. I have a major adjustment to make, and I'm glad I have the summer and the kids to help me thru it. It's gonna be tough, but I think with a little whining and a lot of sugar free snacks I'll get through it all.

The End isn't always THE End

After almost seven years I'm closing my dayhome. I've had the same girl with me for four of those years. None of my kids were with me less than a year. It's amazing how attached you get to other peoples children. Finding the courage to tell the parents I was closing was the most difficult thing I've ever ever had to do. I know it won't be the last difficult thing, and I know that there will be moments in my life that will not even compare to this. For now, this is my life. I cry at the thought of losing these kids. I smile at the thought of working outside my home again. I get upset when I think of all the things I'm going to miss with this. I laugh at the thought of getting my art "studio" back. I am conflicted emotionally. My husband, my boys, they've got my back. They're supportive and encouraging. I've got wonderful family and friends to help me through this. It is a selfish thing of me to feel this way, however, I need to

Washing My Hair in the Sink

We woke up late this morning. Jerome and Xavier decided to sleep in and Sylvain didn't set his alarm. I woke up and looked around, it was bright in our room. Oh no. That means the sun is coming up. That means it's after 7am. Crap. Turns out it was 7:45am. My dayhome is 'supposed' to be open at 7am, Sylvain is supposed to be off to work at 7:30. EEK! Jump out of bed, don't even get dressed, run downstairs and check the front door. Nobody. Whew. Then I start to wander around and turn on lights, straighten up and realize I probably have to wash my face. Make up, wonderful... unless you go to bed with it on. Anyway. Everything started out in a hurry, but slowed down after that. I was going to have a dayhome safety check done today, but she called and rescheduled. But that wasn't before I ran around putting things away, cleaning things, locking up cupboards, etc. Sheesh. In between babies snacking, playing, diaper changes. And that was BEFORE lunch! I remember I have

Where to Start

 Time flies when there's a pandemic and you're in out of school care. I swear I just made the previous post the other day, not three weeks ago! So much has happened, but before we even begin to talk about that, let's discuss some topics that I want to go over. The next few posts that I create will be centered around behaviour. Yes, I know, everyone talks about behaviour and how it's linked to feelings, situations, peers, caregivers, weather, meals, etc. Really it all is. However, there is so much more to it than.. Joe hit Sue because he was angry that she took his truck. While Joe is probably very angry and did indeed hit her for that reason, is there something else? Should we be helping him unpack and determine where those feelings came from? So much can be learned. After that I hope to go over observation vs supervision. Yes. There is indeed a difference. Maybe not to most, but if you have intent and purpose as motivation to watch what the children do and how they int
