Getting my feet wet....again

So after a few years of not writing/blogging, I’ve come to realize that I miss it and it’s more relaxing then I used to give it credit for.


Now that I seem to have SO much on my plate lately; I need to blog.


We are exactly 19 days away from moving across the country and starting a whole new life. A new life it certainly will be. I’m going from living in the big city (which I love!) to out in the country where my closest neighbour is a 10 minute walk away. HUGE changes for me.


Some of the biggest changes?

• NONE of my family is even remotely close by. Yeah my husband’s family is out there, but considering only his father’s side of the family likes me and his mother hates me, this provides absolutely no comfort what so ever.
• Closest store is 20 minutes away (by car).
• Closest Hospital is 30 minutes away (by car).
• No garbage pick up. You have to burn your garbage and recycling (any) needs to be taken to the depot.
• My mother in law is a meddling *****. Considering she doesn’t like me, I wonder how long it’s going to take for her to try and take over our lives and push me out. I know this will happen, just a matter of how and when.
• We’re going at attempt to grow most of our food. Including chickens for eggs.
• Restarting my businesses (photography, jewelry and the kennel) all over again.

Although these aren’t all the changes and challenges I’ll be facing, it’s some of the bigger ones and the ones that concern me the most.


In the meantime…I have the rest of my house to pack, 7 puppies to place in forever homes and a boatload of stuff I still need to purge. All before December 14th.


God help me…

Happy Valentine's Day

Happy Valentine's Day!!

As you have noticed I've avoided talking about Tom and Charlotte for the past little while. Since we were battling out child custody in court, I figured I had better play it safe and just leave those tidbits out just in case my lowly blog was discovered by someone in his neurotic family.

After hearing for a couple months now about how much he loves me and misses me, I was beginning to think it was all a scam to get me to say something I'd regret on the phone and use against me in court. Tom has told me numerous times that he wants to come home and that he is going to (whether he's with me or not). I think I'm more shocked to finally hear him refer to Ontario as home and not Nova Scotia. Since I haven't been getting a real answer as to when he'd be home, I just assumed it was all bologna.

Until today that is...
Tom showed up at my door with 2 dozen long-stem red and pink roses to wish me a happy Valentine's day! Was I shocked? Yes! Was it the sweetest thing he's ever done? Yes! Am I letting him spend the night? Sure am ;)!

With that said...I'm off to get the rest of my Valentine's gift ;)

Long distance phone calls

Finally heard from Tom today. Last time I heard from him was when the roof was leaking. Ry's been telling me for days he's probably ran home to Mommy, but I didn't believe it. I figured he wasn't stupid enough to do that again. Last time he did was when Angel died and it was almost the end of us.

I guess I really shouldn't be that surprised. He had no place to go and whenever the going gets tough...he runs to Mommy. Oh, well. Better her dealing with his crap then me. He definitely needs to live with his mother. He needs constant motherly care of which I'm not willing to do anymore.

The guy thinks he's going to be able to get help with his mental issues out there. LMAO! Good luck with that. I don't think anyone can help him with the issues running through his mind. The guy has lost it and frankly being out there with Charlotte is NOT going to help. She's just as crazy if not worse. I wish him luck...he's going to need it.

On another note, I'd like to know when the hell my kids are coming back since the only info I get is excuses...better be soon!
