Here is my big boy on his 8th birthday. Jimmy finally sang happy birthday to him, it's the first time I hear him sing. We've been together so long and it took this long....

I'll get more pictures of what he got with his birthday money real soon...

Well, well, well ...

What a crazy week it has been. First of all it was Zach's 8th Birthday on the 16th, Happy Birthday my big boy. Now he got some money and he is going nut for a Winter Classic Pittsburgh Penguins Malkin shirt.... Where will I be able to get that, I've looked everywhere. Oh! and he wants it stitched on the numbers and name... ARG!!!!!

Again, crazy week for the Habs... What can we do nothing...

I'll report again soon.

Warm wishes...

Olympic Dream!

Well, the countdown is on. In exactly one year we will be opening the 21st Winter Olympiad in Vancouver. I am so excited that I started to cry. I hope I get picked to carry the torch that would be such a great honour for me. Everybody knows what a proud Canadian I am. I remember when the Olympic torch for the Calgary Olympics passed here in Laval on cartier. I ran with that torch and I felt so proud to just even see it, I think I cried the hole time I was running beside it. I just think of it and I start to tear up.

I would really like to go to the Olympics. I don't care which sport because I like them all. I just want to go and support the people that work so hard to represent our country. I don't know why I feel so strong about this.

One time I went on a scrapbook weekend with a bunch of girls ( all french Canadians ) and there was a Habs game on and they start with the national anthem and of course I start singing and crying. Well the girls did not know how to react to this, they asked me why are you so emotional it's just the anthem. I told them that they take for granted the beautiful country we live in and that instead of trying to separate it we should all work together and build it even stronger so it's even better. Well, when I was done they were all crying and once home telling everyone about my little story...

The day after

Last night was all abut me. I went to Josée's house for my Stampin' up Club de carte and I had a blast as I always do. I really need to do these things for myself, they make me feel so much better about myself. Nathalie told all the girls that she will be joining Caroline's group, so we are down a lady, but that OK. I told her to call me so we could go scrapbooking together at Scrapbook Quebec we will see if she does.

After that I went out with the girls and we had a good time. I laughed so much and that also felt so great. It feels as if I hadn't laughed in years.

Thursday I went for my blood test to see what could be wrong with me. I hope I get some answers soon. There is something wrong and I can't put my finger on it but I will continue my search until I find the answer.

All I know is that today started out good and I hope it will finish the same way. No EXPLOSIONS on my part...

Go Steelers

I am so happy, the Super Bowl was great. It's the best game I have seen in years. I though there for a minute that they were in trouble but they pulled it all out.

What a great game!!!

And now to not so great news from the Habs. I went to the game yesterday. First surprise the jerseys they wore. Zach said they looked like they just got out of jail. The played the first 19 minutes were great, they were hitting and skating and then the Habs scored, the fans were going nuts. The celebrations were cut short, with 00.6 seconds left in the first period the Boston Bruins scored and it all started to shut down for he Habs. In the third period Lang got injured, he is gone for the rest of the season. Kovalev played less then 2 minutes. Latendress got an upper body injury, I think it's the shoulder but nothing was confirmed yet! Now Bob has to move or he trades or he gives them an ass kicking...

I feel a little bit better. My back still hurts but my spirits are better. I was very calm with the kids but firm. Let's see what tomorrow brings. Zach was home sick and he is already thinking that he will be sick tomorrow.
