I got a dog! His name is Murphy and he is four years old. Murphy is a shelter dog who used to be named Soonjin but I don't speak Korean. He is a shih tzu and kind of stinky right now. He will be going to the groomer on Saturday. The poor guy hadn't been cared for very well. But now he will be spoiled. I will get a picture of him up soon.

Hhmmm, this is what I woke up to this morning. Guess I should stop having Albertan guests visit...hehe. This is what Dai, Aaron, and Amber brought. I think it was the combination of the three.
Tomorrow is Taylor's and Jason's birthday. Tay is going to be 16 and Jason 14. I know this sounds cliche, but it seems like I just gave birth to them yesterday. They are both taller than me now. Their voices have changed and I have a pretty good idea of who they are going to be when they are older. I am very proud of my sons (Jacob too!!). I've been thinking of scanning one of the two pictures I have of Matthew and putting it up here with pictures of Tay, Jay, and Jake. Of course, it is March, and that has traditionally been a difficult month for me. It seems though that this year it is going a bit easier on me.
I am hoping to get my tattoo this month (at the end) or early April. It will be to mark a new era in my life. I can't put my finger on why it feels like that but I do sense something under the surface that is just "different."
Chances are that I am going to be looking for and/or interviewing (as I have submitted a CV already) a new job with a school board. I've applied to the one and intend to apply to 3 more. I was going to do it today but I HATE snow. Okay, that isn't true. If I am in it for recreation, I love it. If I chose it. Like going up a mountain to tube or throw snowballs or something. To do day to day business......yech! That is the primary reason I moved away from Alberta. Cold and Snow. Yeah yeah, it looks lovely, clean, and pristine. Nice for postcards and Yule. Full stop.

Anyhoo, get back to you soon. I can't believe I am the mother of 2 teenagers and a pre-teen. I feel barely out of my teens myself.
