It has been a tough couple of weeks.
The new puppy has been a bit of a pain. ( don’t ever give a puppy to someone who isn’t prepared for him) He and the three year old dog have a habit of creating a ruckus somewhere between 2 and 4 am. Â I am sleep deprived. Â This doesn’t make it easier to deal with school and the young kids. Â I find I lose my temper quicker than I should.
It is also Thanksgiving weekend In Canada. Â I have always liked thanksgiving… pumpkin pie, turkey…. even though it meant the end of cottage season. Â Getting together with family and friends. Â This adds a level of homesickness to my thoughts.
The big problem though is my mother’s visit to the hospital.  She is home now, but she had a scheduled surgery earlier this week. It would have really pissed her off if I had gone home to see her but  It does make me wonder what I am doing living thousands of miles away from the people who mean so much to me….
