An Updated Cast of Family Characters


It occurred to me while I was trying to write a post recently – one that included most, if not all, of our (still growing) immediate family on both sides, that there are now quite a lot of us AND when telling stories it can get very confusing to follow precisely who is involved. So I decided it might be worthwhile to write up something of a list of common “characters” that I talk about: family members mostly just from the immediate family.

Here we go…

The Corner Table Family
Writer Mom (me) & Heli Dad (my hubs)
Kids: Princess, Gamer Boy & Angel Face
Pets: Sphinx & Jude (cats)


Writer Mom’s Family
Grandma and Grandpa (my parents)
Pets: various cats on The Farm
Big Sister and Bro (my older sister & her hubs)
Kids: Big Babe, HG & Genie
Pet: Rufus (dog)
Little Sister and Boyfriend (my younger sister & her boyfriend)
Pet: Juno (dog)

Heli Dad’s Family
Grams (his mom)
Pets: Bella (dog)
Pic Sis & G-Man (his older sister & hubs)
Kids: J-Man & Girl
Pets: various rescues (dogs)
Lil’ Sis & Mech Man (his younger sister & fiancé)
Pets: Riley & Callie (dogs)

So there you have it. From a (combined) 9 of us we have now expanded out to a total of 21 humans and numerous pets. We are all a little crazy. Our lives are all pretty chaotic. But all in all, we’re a damn happy family.

Of course there are other family members (cousins, aunts, uncles) that may appear from time to time such as: B-Boy, VanDani, Auntie Ell, Uncle Gruff, Uncle Grumble, and Farmer D. 

Got it?

25 (Random) Things... About Me

I'm not sure whether I've posted this here (or on Facebook) before, if I did it was years ago, and so well, this is me - in a completely random nutshell! 1.   When I need to calm down, I take a shower and drink coffee. 2.   I've been a stay at home mom for most of the last 7 years and I don't see an end to that in the near future. 3.   I'm writing a book.   4.   My favorite ice cream is (still) chocolate chip mint. 5.   I NEVER liked the color pink until I had a baby girl. 6.   I have three kids: Zona, Izack, and Saphira. 7.   I love Stargate SG1, Stargate Atlantis and Battlestar Galatica but I've rarely watched them when they are on TV. 8.   I've developed (and groomed) a fascination with mythology. 9.   I took dance lessons for 16 years and when I was a little girl I wanted to be a ballerina. 10.   I married my 'high school sweetheart' when I was 22 (he was 23) and we've been together for 12 years now. ...

Trick-or-Treating with the Kids!!

OH A HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!!! She was Piglet at 5 months. A devil the next year. Last year Arora was a 'Butterfly Princess Fairy' (she couldn't narrow it down to just one), and this year we settled on being a witch. The decision making bit for the costume, of course, was that it had bright pink in it. But mommy (obviously that's me) was able to find a pair of tights and a sweater in the same shade of bright pink, so on the whole the Witch was a winner!!! Being only three weeks old last year on Halloween Zack didn't actually dress up. In a sense he was just 'a new-born' and we didn't actually take him around at all. This year though we (and I suppose that should really just be 'I') wanted his costume to be something really cute, but cool too. When I was shopping in Calgary a couple weeks ago I was able to find the PERFECT costume, at Old Navy of all places, and though mom and I worried that it might be a bit too big, we were wrong, it ...

Happy 18th Birthday Meagan!!!!

I can vividly remember the day you were born. It seems oh, so long ago. And of course, I still have nightmares of the first 3 or 4 years of your life. I can honestly say that when you were that young, I really didn't like you. All you did was cry and I have a three-year-old now so I know that, that, isn't normal. It sucked!! But eventually you got older, and with time you grew a bit taller, and you weren't quite as horrible as your behavior had initially made you seem. Do you remember when we actually put a line of masking tape down the middle of our bedroom to mark our sides????? Or how about the time you cut your hair and told mom I did it, so that I got in trouble???? When I got my own room you became infinitely more likable. :) Does that say something about you or me??? In any case, as we got older you became more than just my sister, you became my friend. We've shared a lot of things: from a bedroom to clothes, car crashes, drunken nights, secrets and ad...
