March Kicked Us Around A Little

But we have emerged victorious.

Take that (insert karate chop) crazy month.

Two of my very favourite people in the world have birthdays in March, and one of my very best friends in the whole world got married this month (She got married outside at a lodge and arrived at the altar via dogsled). Aside from these three events the rest of the month was pretty darn sucky.


  • A very good friend had a successful surgery that went well but it was a stressful time.

  • There was a major disaster in Japan that is still unfolding.

  • Camo ended up in the hospital for 7 very long days with RSV/asthma/double pneumonia - happy spring break.

  • Hops & Barley and I ended up on antibiotics for walking pneumonia.

  • Now the house smells. I have invited 4 friends in to help me identify the smell. We have all decided it's not gas, but beyond that can not decide what the smell is.

  • *UPDATE* the smell was identified. It was the garbage can in my bedroom. It smells like chemicals. JEM and I think that years of peepee diapers have reacted with the plastic of the garbage can. Yeah, we don't really know why, but it is outside now and the house doesn't smell anymore.

  • Two days after Camo came home from the hospital the neighbour boy broke his collarbone.

  • My sister-in-law's lovely dog Bear died.


April really can't come fast enough.

Thank you to all our friends and family who helped out this month. We couldn't have done it without you.

One thing that JEM and the kids all agree makes everything better - JAM TOAST:

  2. Oh no, seven days in the hospital is brutal, then pneumonia for everyone else too. Glad you survived, I don't know if I would have made it.
