I remember thinking how wonderful it was to be around a family who certainly was not quite about there opinions but in fact seemed to keep there family closer by being open and honest about there thoughts and feeling, even if that meant a good family blow up at a diner or two. </span><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;">I remember my sister commenting to me more then once on the phone that she thought it was silly that we spent all three days over Christmas with my husbands family. Over and over I told her how great it was. How we would stay up late after the kids had gone to bed and we would just talk and most defiantly laugh about the past, present and maybe whats in store for the future. I honestly and truly trusted being with my husbands family I really felt this was my family as well.</span><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;">Fast forward 13 years. My husband and I are now in a place were those once looked forward occasions have for us anyway turned into a obligation. Leaving us with the feelings that if we don't attend we are showing his parents some sort of disrespect. That there will be some sort of consequence for not inviting all the family member's to our home if we have an event over the holidays. That we are the problem with the family get togethers. That the family members who have acted inappropriately are still warmly invented to these events and WE are frowned upon because we choose to not attend or not invite those family members who have hurt us.</span><br /><span style="font-family:Verdana;"></span><span style="font-family:verdana;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;">This just didn't happen over night.. For us, we saw happen what we felt was the unthinkable.. We experienced family blatantly taking advantage of family, and it didn't happen once it happened more then that... and to make it worse we didn't see any remorse from them.. They seemed to feel that regardless of what happen, whether it was right or wrong .. All should be put aside for family events and one should just put on happy face and get together for the parents.</span><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;">This is were I struggle... I have never been one to be two faced... I have never put on a smile and just gone along with it... Personally I don't feel it's being true to ones self and I don't think it sends a good message to your kids that it's OK to let people treat you in a bad way and then just act like all is OK for certain events. As a mom I teach my kids that there are consequences for bad behaviour, the hope being that they will learn by there mistakes and not make them again. So why is extended family any different? Why should family be allowed to take advantage, use and hurt one another and there be NO consequence for this.. I also try to teach my kids that family NEEDS to stick together. But does that always included extended family??? As Dr. Phil might say "At some point those person's have lost the privilege of being a part of your family" But does that apply here??</span><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;">I am sick and tired of feeling like this.. We are not the bad guys. We simply helped when we could and when someone did something we felt was wrong we called them on it... Even if that meant not wanting to spend time with that person... </span><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;">Tell me if you have ever been told this before... You come home one day from school and one of your friends has not been nice to you.. Your mom then tells you "A true friend would never treat a person like that and if they did a TRUE friend would feel very sorry and most likely ask what they could do to make it better!!! So I ask "Why should family be given a free pass from this message. </span><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;">As I write this post I am so sadden that a family who I once trusted and deeply felt a part of has over time hurt and left me with the feelings that when I am around them I need to be guarded and cautious about what I say in front of them... Constantly I ask myself why on earth would I want to put myself in the presence of people who can't truly care or respect me or my family when there actions have shown the total opposite. </span><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;">As I stated at the beginning of this post.. This time of the year was once my favorite. Now our first holiday approaches I am left feeling very hurt, frustrated and angry and feel the best solution to this is to just focus on my family and not concern myself with extended family.</span><br /><span style="font-family:Verdana;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:Verdana;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;"></span>Wendyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17467527287095518560noreply@blogger.com8tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5386688795074443099.post-23057600987056543132009-10-01T19:00:00.000-07:002009-10-01T19:21:05.272-07:00A Visit From Larkyn's China Sisiter<p align="left"><span style="font-family:verdana;">Since returning from China two years ago we have not always been able to keep in touch with all the family who travelled with us. We have made a point of keeping in touch with Larkyn's two China Sister's who are the same age and who grew up in the same orphanage, and in truth were the only family each other new before being adopted. </span></p><p align="left"><span style="font-family:verdana;">None of us live in the same province but we have all managed to keep in touch either by phone, skype or email. </span></p><p align="left"><span style="font-family:verdana;">In September Claudia, Simon and Madi came out west to visit us in Calgary. After visiting with us they were off to Burnaby to visit Rachel.</span></p><p align="left"><span style="font-family:verdana;">We had a wonderful visit. We took them to Heritage Park, and the girls had a blast. I truly hope these little girls will keep in touch for many years to come. They all have an amazing story that ended with each one of them finding there forever families...</span></p><p align="center"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_UAc-Y6XeR9c/SsVg-jUMxAI/AAAAAAAADM0/_-1z3FSXZDw/s1600-h/IMG_9438.jpg"><img style="WIDTH: 400px; HEIGHT: 267px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5387819156966786050" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_UAc-Y6XeR9c/SsVg-jUMxAI/AAAAAAAADM0/_-1z3FSXZDw/s400/IMG_9438.jpg" /></a></p><p align="center"><span style="font-family:verdana;">Larkyn and Madi Playing in the leaves</span></p><p align="center"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_UAc-Y6XeR9c/SsVgk1rOMAI/AAAAAAAADMs/mBySDj2qBDU/s1600-h/IMG_9435.jpg"><img style="WIDTH: 400px; HEIGHT: 267px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5387818715218587650" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_UAc-Y6XeR9c/SsVgk1rOMAI/AAAAAAAADMs/mBySDj2qBDU/s400/IMG_9435.jpg" /></a></p><p align="center"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_UAc-Y6XeR9c/SsVgDqYtfKI/AAAAAAAADMk/_QAm_XnJnF0/s1600-h/IMG_9422.jpg"><img style="WIDTH: 267px; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5387818145252474018" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_UAc-Y6XeR9c/SsVgDqYtfKI/AAAAAAAADMk/_QAm_XnJnF0/s400/IMG_9422.jpg" /></a><br /></p><p align="center"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_UAc-Y6XeR9c/SsVfQR79RqI/AAAAAAAADMc/_NhMEF0uFB4/s1600-h/IMG_9395.jpg"><img style="WIDTH: 400px; HEIGHT: 267px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5387817262516094626" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_UAc-Y6XeR9c/SsVfQR79RqI/AAAAAAAADMc/_NhMEF0uFB4/s400/IMG_9395.jpg" /></a></p><p align="center"><span style="font-family:verdana;">Simon, Claudia and Madi waiting for there turn on the Ferris Wheel</span></p>Wendyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17467527287095518560noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5386688795074443099.post-41482865543092206292009-09-29T13:06:00.000-07:002009-09-29T13:26:55.106-07:00Triple Flip Stylist "Kendal"<p align="left"><strong><span style="font-family:verdana;">Dear Kendal:</span></strong></p><strong><span style="font-family:verdana;">Adding my link to the blog and facebook would be fine. </span></strong><br /><strong><span style="font-family:verdana;">What a small world that you found my blog.

Twice a year the girls who purchase clothes from the store can enter there name into a draw and if they are one of the lucky 24, they get to be the next Flip girls for the next seasons clothing line. Just over a week ago I received an email that Reegan's name had been chosen... She was very excited... Three days later she was getting her hair and make-up done, getting reading for her big shoot. All 24 girls will be on there web site in a few weeks and some if not all the girls pictures will be in the store as display pictures... What a great moment for all the girls .. Triple Flip made them ALL feel so beautiful and special... </p><p align="center"><a href="http://www.tripleflip.ca/">http://www.tripleflip.ca/</a></p><p align="center"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_UAc-Y6XeR9c/SrgpSItP94I/AAAAAAAADLI/r9K6pqee6R8/s1600-h/IMG_7094_7.JPG"><img style="WIDTH: 266px; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5384098746073085826" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_UAc-Y6XeR9c/SrgpSItP94I/AAAAAAAADLI/r9K6pqee6R8/s400/IMG_7094_7.JPG" /></a></p><div align="center">Reegan is being interviewed<br /><br /></div><p align="center"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_UAc-Y6XeR9c/SrgpKhGKacI/AAAAAAAADLA/rCSVMNyNlsQ/s1600-h/IMG_7093_6.JPG"><img style="WIDTH: 266px; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5384098615181076930" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_UAc-Y6XeR9c/SrgpKhGKacI/AAAAAAAADLA/rCSVMNyNlsQ/s400/IMG_7093_6.JPG" /></a><br /></p><p align="center"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_UAc-Y6XeR9c/SrgpB-qqwZI/AAAAAAAADK4/sEeUFVFKkk4/s1600-h/IMG_7088_4.JPG"><img style="WIDTH: 266px; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5384098468499997074" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_UAc-Y6XeR9c/SrgpB-qqwZI/AAAAAAAADK4/sEeUFVFKkk4/s400/IMG_7088_4.JPG" /></a></p><div align="center">Getting her hair and make-up done.<br /><br /><br /></div>Wendyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17467527287095518560noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5386688795074443099.post-83411868943939324462009-09-21T18:17:00.000-07:002009-09-21T18:30:26.571-07:00Larkyn's Third Birthday<p align="center"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_UAc-Y6XeR9c/SrgnwuduMuI/AAAAAAAADKw/xUq9JYHhZm8/s1600-h/IMG_9344.jpg"><img style="WIDTH: 267px; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5384097072581325538" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_UAc-Y6XeR9c/SrgnwuduMuI/AAAAAAAADKw/xUq9JYHhZm8/s400/IMG_9344.jpg" /></a></p><br />I know it's been forever since I last posted...

Most days my feeders are filled with House Sparrow's, Brewer's Blackbirds, the occasional House Finch and my favorites the Red-Winded Blackbird. That was until today when this little fellow decided to dine her for lunch. He is a<strong><em> Western Tanager.</em></strong> His colour was so amazing I wasn't sure if I was seeing correctly. I was rushing around the house trying to find my telephoto lens in the hopes of getting a picture of him. He finally gave me the perfect pose, I hope he comes back again. </span></p>Wendyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17467527287095518560noreply@blogger.com7tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5386688795074443099.post-37058364351757403632009-05-09T11:08:00.000-07:002009-05-09T11:09:27.779-07:00HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!!<p align="center"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_UAc-Y6XeR9c/SgXGsZTEWAI/AAAAAAAACnU/oWDA67UcNYw/s1600-h/mother+day.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5333887799697627138" style="WIDTH: 330px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 370px" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_UAc-Y6XeR9c/SgXGsZTEWAI/AAAAAAAACnU/oWDA67UcNYw/s400/mother+day.jpg" border="0" /></a></p>Wendyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17467527287095518560noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5386688795074443099.post-87847055105449129392009-05-08T11:26:00.001-07:002009-05-09T11:07:37.240-07:00Supplements<span style="font-family:verdana;">In all the books I have read about perimenopause they are consistent in talking about supplements. Making sure you are taking the right ones and the correct amount. Well the Chorons Apollo Clinic follows those beliefs as well. I figured I wouldn't wait until my appointment this month to start on the vitamins and supplements they recommend. </span><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;">There products are very convenient to take, with individual packing you to take twice a day. You take certain ones in the morning and the rest in the evening.. I can take comfort in knowing that when I go to bed at night I have not missed anything. </span><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;">Now like almost everything in the world today, if it's good for you it's going to cost you! These supplements and vitamins are not the exception. I was a little worried about my husband reaction when he saw the bill. </span><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;">Then I notice something on the front of the container ... Hmmmm what did I read? Oh yes, not a husband out there will complain about the cost of this product if it proves to be effective, I mean it's written right there in the front of the container, what man would refuse the benefit of taking these vitamins and supplements.</span><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;">Just read it for yourself. </span><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;">Would you not agree!!!<br /></span><br /><br /><br /><p align="center"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_UAc-Y6XeR9c/SgR6EmJQVaI/AAAAAAAACnM/rcH7CQzqHi4/s1600-h/misc+picture+028.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5333522078090941858" style="WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 267px" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_UAc-Y6XeR9c/SgR6EmJQVaI/AAAAAAAACnM/rcH7CQzqHi4/s400/misc+picture+028.jpg" border="0" /></a></p><p align="center"><span style="font-family:verdana;">For peak mental, physcial and HERE's the biggy <strong><em>Sexual Performance.</em></strong></span></p><p align="center"><span style="font-family:verdana;">I have a feeling if this works in that department my husband will not only buy me this for Chrismas and Birthday's but he will worship the ground at the Chronos Apollo Clinic.</span></p>Wendyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17467527287095518560noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5386688795074443099.post-55758881551660328802009-05-05T19:22:00.000-07:002009-05-08T11:09:32.864-07:00The Results Are InNo surprise to me but all my blood work came back fine.<br /><br />I am not giving up just yet. A good friend of mine suggested a Doctor that she had been going to who specializes in hormone replacement and more importantly bio-identical hormone replacement. The name of the clinic is called <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">Chronos</span> <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">Apolla</span> <a href="http://www.chronosapollo.com/">http://www.chronosapollo.com/</a><br /><br />Here is just a sample of some of the systems, I have 4 out of 5 of these <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">symptoms</span>.<br /><br />STRESS AFFECTS YOUR DIGESTIVE SYSTEM. When you don't have all the vitamins, minerals and nutrients you need you cannot make hormones.<br />When you don't have the right hormone balance, your WHOLE BODY works at less than 100% AND THE PROCESS OF AGING IS ACCELERATED.<br /><br />So, if you have ever wondered why people look older when they are stressed - now you know!<br />If you have ever heard of skinny, active, healthy people dropping dead of a heart attack, or getting cancer - stress and hormone imbalance are to blame.<br /><br /><strong>SYMPTOMS TO WATCH FOR THAT YOU MAY NOT NOTICE:<br />Loss of spontaneity:<br /></strong>- Are you less able to jump up and do something on the spur of the moment? Many people dismiss this as being busy. Pay attention to this.<br /><br /><strong>Loss of interest in things you usually enjoy, including sex.<br /></strong>- Often accompanied by fatigue, you may mistakenly think you are just too tired. Think about this carefully: did your 'GET-UP-'N'-<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">GO'get</span> up and go without you???<br />Often described as loss of passion and zest for life.<br /><br /><strong>Unexplained fatigue<br /></strong>- You wake up tired, and no amount of rest makes you feel more energetic. You function at a much lower steam than you used to.<br /><br /><strong>Cravings<br /></strong>- For salt (savoury foods) or sugar.<br /><br /><strong>Dizziness<br /></strong>- when you change position quickly.<br /><br /><strong>Memory<br /></strong>- Are you able to remember as well as 5-10 years ago?<br />- Alzheimer's disease and dementia risk is increased in people who are under high stress.<br /><br />These are just some of the results from long standing stress.<br /><br />I really don't know if any of this is going to work but I have to try something and right now this really make sense.Wendyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17467527287095518560noreply@blogger.com3
