Random thoughts…
1. Some days I find myself sounding like Mrs. Garrett from the facts of life, “Girls, girls, girls!”
2. The other day HBear said “Mommy your Daddy is funny” LOL
Hot tears sprung to my eyes. I called for Ninja to somehow make it better.. and he did!
Saved!
When we got into the van the lecture began LOL “See, I told you what would happen if you didn’t stop sucking your fingers and now look Mommy and Daddy have to pay almost $1000!”
“I’m sorry Mommy. If you would like I will pay half. You can take it out of my piggy bank.”
Bless her little grubby finger sucking heart.

5. DEREK?!?!?!?! WTF?!?!?! Did that really happen? And when I say really, I mean in total fake land of TV, of course 🙂
6. I want to start a book club.
I have asked everyone I know and everybody laughs and says “good idea” but I can’t get anyone to commit lol. So, I think I am going to start a HB & SB Book Club 🙂
I will pick a book (or take suggestions) and at the end of the month I will post a review and my thoughts. If you have time you can read it too. You don’t have to read every book, every month but if it interests you, read it! I would love comments and feedback, in fact I will even try to pick controversial books to get a discussion going!!!
Who… Me?
lol
For May, I am going to read Wild by Cheryl Strayed.
I hope you join me in The HoneyBears & SydneyBeans Book Club. It is sure to be a wickedly fantastic opportunity to read some great books just for the sake of reading a great book!
and yes you may drink as much wine as you like 🙂
7. The Edmonton Oilers have been very busy the past 2 weeks. They scored the first round draft pick and they let their upper management go.
They let Craig MacTavish go.
I really, really, really like MacT. I am sad to see him go but hope that there is nothing but blue skies ahead for my favorite team.
With that being said… I am so very proud of the Winnipeg Jets and the classiest fans on Earth!
I am not worried about their early exit from the 2015 playoffs. It was a lesson to be learned and I am just happy that they brought the NHL Playoffs back to my hometown!
Watch out for them next year… they got a taste and now the other teams should be scared 🙂
8. AS IF Allison Sweeney didn’t win the best actress award for her portrayal of Samantha Brady on the long running soap, Days of Our Lives.
OMG did I just say that?
Whatever, I have been watching it for 36 years. Haters gonna Hate.

9. The other day was early dismissal. I remember early dismissal was 2:45 when I was a kid… now it’s 12:15???? Seriously, I don’t know BC kids will be able to handle real life. A work day that is actually 8 hours. SHOCKER!!!
Anyways, some of the Moms suggested a picnic on the school playground and it turned out so well!

| That’s right, she has a ice cream sandwich in 1 hand and a TimBit in the other! LOL |
I am lucky that we have an amazing group of Moms and Dads at our school that do little things like have a picnic just because 🙂
After the picnic the kids took us inside to their student led conferences. HBear read to us, showed us her math work and showed us around her classroom. So proud of her 🙂
10. I’m from Canada. I’m from Manitoba. I’m from Winnipeg. I’m from St James. I’m from Assiniboia West. I’m from St Charles.
That’s right, there are my roots.
Lately I’ve read about so many deaths of people that grew up around me, were my friends… St Jamesers.
We stick together.
I am saddened by how many people I know have committed suicide over the past few years. This is an issue. A REAL issue. Please, if you know someone suffering from depression or any other type of mental illness, be there for them. Listen to them.
Sometimes it’s the words they don’t say… that say the most.
Too many good people are losing the battle and it is so very, very sad.
The other day I made this yummy and fresh dinner! Delicious and perfect for the beautiful spring weather that is coming… I hope! 🙂
