blegh.

Been feeling pretty darn "blah" lately. My best friend just moved back to Calgary today and work seems to really be taking a toll on me lately. It's definitely not easy being a working single parent! I am just trying to stay as positive as possible, but some days are better than others. I am so thankful to be blessed with Rose. She truly could not be any sweeter or more joyful, I am so lucky. Seeing her smile every day is what pushes me and drives me to stay focused. I want to be the best I can, for her. What keeps you focused? Do you have someone in your life who keeps you going every day or who inspired you daily?

Autumn is here.

A bunch of photos from yesterday of Rose and myself playing my parent's back yard. :) 

Yesterday was pretty lovely. They were doing fire drills and inspections in our apartment building so I decided we'd go out to my parent's house for the day to avoid the noise. Rose had a great time running around their house and visiting her grandma! She took a 2 hour nap and then we walked with her in the wagon to meet my brother after school. It's always so cute to see him interacting with his high school friends. He turns fifteen next week, I cannot believe it! 

Reflect.

PICK ME!

Totally wishing to win this THE IT Camera Bag giveaway on Sometimes Sweet!

It's love! :D

your teal eyes

Looking for the great escape,
escape from
the chemicals
in your veins,
from the tears
that flow only at
night,
escape from
the sad songs
blasting from the radio,
from the way
you look at me,
escape from
your sickly skin
and the purple bags
under your teal eyes,
from all the
memories of your
laugh and your tears,
stories told of all
of our fears 




A poem I wrote in 2009, that I recently rediscovered.

Day 17

A picture of something that has made a huge impact on your life lately.

I always have a huge attitude change when autumn rolls around. To me everything just feels fresh and watching the Earth renew itself is so beautiful!
