Mom of Three Angels

This is my first blog and I think it is fitting to introduce myself.

I am a full-time mom of 3, two boys(7 and 4) and almost 2(going 21) girl.  I am also employed full-time and will be returning to school in September 2008(like I don’t have enough on my plate) .

Early this morning (@ about 4am), we were awaken by the loud screeching… er.. beeping of the CO/Gas detector.  After about an hour of dilly-dallying and hoping it would stop we finally called 9-1-1.  Now I am not at my brightest before my 1st cup of coffee and never at 4 am.  So although I can hear the gasps that accompanied the knowledge that we waited for 1 hour before evacuating, please understand that it took that long to get the brain cells working.

We fled the house… o.k. fled is overrated more like dragged 3 still sleeping kids from warm beds… out to the garage and into our 7-seater van which I drove and parked in the driveway until the emerency team responded.

All was well however, as I though about it, I noticed that none of the wonderful fire fighters or EMS personnel who responded looked like those in the calendar and were all (thankfully) clothed.

So I sat at work wondering why I did not take the day off because I feel like I have been run over by a mac truck and this was the slooooowest day in the history of workdays.

Tonight is also soccer night and so we will be at the field until well after 8pm.   I can only pray for rain…  which is a good possibility with the summer we have had in Toronto.

 Until next time.
