“When I saw the break of day
I wished that I could fly away
Instead of kneeling in the sand
Catching teardrops in my hand

My heart is drenched in wine
But you’ll be on my mind
Forever”

Chelsey will be competing Saturday October the 18th at 1:14 at the Westfield Countryside Mall. Good Luck Chelsey!

Um… Yea, I noticed that the 18th isn’t Saturday. I’m checking with Petr to find out what day it really is.

It was a beautiful sunrise this morning.

Chelsey has an ice skating competition on October 18 or 19th. We usually don’t get the actual schedule until the week before. The competition is being held at the Westfield Countryside Mall rink and will be Chelsey’s first competition since the accident. We are all looking forward to Chelsey getting back to competition.

Dave linked to me yesterday as part of his ongoing discussion of Health and the Web. I had sent him an email talking about the things I’m doing here. I told Dave that “There is a certain therapy that I achieve by forcing myself to find something positive, even Fun, going on in our lives that I can then post to the weblog”.

I also mentioned the virtual counseling I’ve been doing with Bernie over at DeepFun. It is an example of Health and the Net, as I’ve never met Bernie in person but our relationship has grown deep through our connection via the online collaboration tools we use during our sessions.

Thanks Dave, and everyone else who stops by, for the well wishes and kind thoughts.

Last night was the first Junior Cotillion dance. Lindsey went with her fiends Allie and Dana. She went down to Dana’s early in the afternoon to get ‘ready’. There was plenty of work on their makeup, hair and dresses.

There are many parts of being a mom that I can do, but makeup, hair and dresses isn’t one of them, at least not yet. Many thanks again to my mom’s who are all helping me with so many of those tasks.

It was really amazing to see the transformation of giggling girls into proper young ladies. At least they looked proper until they tried walking in those high heels 🙂 There was a lot of giggling little girls afterwards as they described their dance cards to us.

Before		After

Today was my birthday. Our friends gave me a surprise party. I had a great time relaxing with good friends and family. Be sure to check out the photos.
