Well I just got back from a 36 hour road trip to bring me back to the island. Thinking that the trip back to Alberta wasn't such a good idea.
Lord do I miss home - yes even the 3 feet of snow :)
So I am turning 36 in exactly a week and I am not looking forward to it. Its not that I am one year older - that doesn't bother me at all. It's that this is going to be the first year I will have no family (other than my kids who won't know its my birthday unless I tell them) or friends around. And surprisingly that bothers me. A lot. Even just going for lunch with coworkers or having coffee with my BF, or spending it in Fox Vegas with Corey is better than being out here. And yes Corey is home the night after my birthday - but it's not the same. This year I will be celebrating my birthday getting the kids off to school, writing papers/studying for exams, and cooking supper - not sure I will be able to handle the excitment. And to be honest I don't really feel like celebrating it, at all. Really its just a day, just like any other.
I realize it takes time to get used to a place and have it feel like home but seriously - how freaking long is this gonna take??????
So meeting people through soccer didn't work, church isn't working, school isn't working - I seriously need suggestions!!!!!!!! I am going to lose my mind!!
It feels like I am in solitary confinement in the most beautiful prison I can find in Canada. It really sucks to be a social person right about now and for the last several months.
So I am thinking that my next trip to Alberta should be months away - because the farther I drove into BC the worse I felt, and not because of the roads - crap they got better as I kept going.
Well this lonely girl is off to study for an exam I have tomorrow and get the kids off to bed.
Miss you all!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
