It's been a while since my last blog, but nothing is really going on these days. Cirque de Soleil was incredible, i absolutely loved it. If you get the chance to see it live, please do! It's really spectacular. Work is still busy. I put together a proposal for my boss on the restructuring of my department, and I think he's going to go for it. It's a pretty exciting opportunity for me. I'll let you know how it turns out.
Why is it that the more money you make, the more you spend? I'm not talking about myself here, but I've noticed it a lot lately. I know people who have started their careers with nothing. No house, no car, no nice clothes or expensive make up. Now, they have all of that and still need more. Instead of a 20, 000 car, they need a 40, 000 one. Or instead of a nice home, they need to move into a "richer" neighborhood. Instead of spending $10 on lip gloss, they spend $50. To each their own, of course, but why is it never enough? Why can we not just obtain the lifestyle we are comfortable with and use anything extra to help others? I take the train to work every morning and every day I see people huddled up under trees or in doorways, trying to get a bit more sleep before they have to begin another day of being homeless. I really don't know where I'm going with this, but it's just something that bothers me on a daily basis.
So Cassidy is sick today. I hate it when she's sick. It started at about 1 am last night. There really is nothing worse than being woken up out of a deep sleep to "Mommy, I puked." What a horrible wake up call. We were up for a few hours and finally fell asleep. I let her sleep in and when she got up she seemed fine. So she went to school and I went to work. It wasn't even 2 hours later that the secretary of her school called and said that Cassidy wasn't feeling well again. I felt so awful. So now we're hanging out at home watching kid movies. I really hope she isn't coming down with the flu that's been going around. I hate it when she's sick. I feel so helpless. But it happens, I guess.
Congratulations to Pearl and Roch and also to Devon and his girlfriend who both found out that they are pregnant! Babies are in the air. I just hope I don't breathe in any of that air.... one child is enough for me for right now.
That's it for today! Take care, everyone.
Love,
meg.

Good grief - I'm lucky if I get the $10 lip gloss. These people do not have children do they?
Alanna was sick this week too so I feel your pain. She stayed home with me on Monday. Secretely it was kind of nice to have a cuddly kid with no energy. Nice for mom, not so nice for Alanna though.
I was never saying that you shouldn't spend your money or enjoy it at all. By all means, you should. All I'm saying is that it seems that as a society, it's never enough. And it never will be. I'm not pointing fingers at one person in particular, it's more of a generalization. It's a common stereotype that you can "never be too rich or too thin" and I'm just sick of it. I see so many people suffer and so many people flaunt their wealth like they think they're better than everyone else. That is what is really frustrating. Look a little deeper at what I'm saying. Yes, you work hard for your money so do what you want with it. I'm not telling anyone what to do. It's just personally frustrating to me to see parents on the street with their children, cold and hungry because they have no money. Shouldn't those of us in a position to help, do so? A lot of people don't.
i disagree with that completely, but we'll just let it go.
