i have received a lot of support and caring lately. it has been nice. so far i am feeling pretty ok emotionally. physically, i still feel spent and it is frustrating. i haven't been able to fall asleep that well and i think that is why. on saturday morning i slept in till 10:00. i haven't been able to do that since natalie was born. i wasn't able to fall asleep until past 2 am and then the girls both had a sleepover at madelaine's so i had no morning interruptions. ahh those interruptions can be soooo frustrating! nat comes in and leaves the door open with the light on in the hall or bathroom and the light shines right on my face. if only they'd get that the more they disturb my sleep in the morning the more they'll have to pay by having a grumpy mommy during the rest of the day. but the saturday morning sleep in was delicious. yesterday i went to rosalyn fleury's wedding. actually, i just dropped in but i saw lots of her family. i saw leanne, who looks exactly the same--just a little bigger. and tommy, who now goes by thomas, also looks the same. melanie was a little harder to identify, mostly because she now has ash blonde hair. she is the hair dresser in their family. and i would never have known josie, but maybe that is because she was so little still when we moved away. it was kind of weird to see people that i used to know so well over 20 years ago. i wasn't even sure if leanne would remember me. but she did. i used to sleepover at her house quite a bit, so i guess she should. and laura, do you remember serena from surrey? you were friends with her younger sister for awhile. well anyways she made friends with leanne at the '86 youth conference and she lives in terrace still. leanne lives in maple ridge now, but she lived 32 years in terrace. can you imagine? i can't imagine living so long in one place, let alone in terrace for so long. she told me that for years after we moved away, girls still asked her if she knew anything about layne. he always did have quite a following...i also saw susan robinson. i wasn't sure what she'd think of when she saw me--like maybe she'd remember the beehive sleepover at her house where i was hyper and broke one of her plates. but if she remembered it, she never brought it up. i always find it to be kind of a strange experience to meet up with people from your past and to see that you are so different then you were then. and to see how different their lives are from yours now. i would never go, but i guess that is kind of how a highschool reunion would be. well, it is late and i feel like i will be able to go to sleep easy enough tonight, so i'm going to end my ramblings.
