Today felt long to me. I’m still feeling pretty out of it. It’s not like I travelled from Europe or anywhere exotic or anything, but I still am done in! My mom 👵🏼 came over today. She wanted to help, in case I couldn’t get the difficult areas done with the home rental led light array thingy (yes, all very technical terms, especially the word thingy, I mean I made the Dr repeat that difficult and technical word, thingy, on many occasions, until it flowed naturally- thingy!! See, I can hardly control my enthusiasm about getting that term right!!)  My mom also brought groceries and made supper, I sure love my momma! She loves us very much and came to help. She knows how bad I get, she has seen those really bad bad days! When I stop caring about things!! I give in to everything, regarding my kids!! They have too much pop, eat poorly, watch too much TV or spend hours on-line. I know I’m too lenient on my kids. I know they stay up too late. I know they take advantage of me. I know many many sad and difficult things…I also know I’m not able to be the mom or even the person I was before. I know I’ve become a somewhat negligent mom. I know I often feel helpless and hopeless.I know I’m often unable to take care of my kids, as I should. My mom wants my pain to go away.  She loves me and wants the best for me and my family.  I love her dearly and had a wonderful trip with her. She is doing all she can to help me to become pain free and I appreciate it so so much!! Fortunately, I was able to do it all on my own, the light array thingy (which means I can do the treatment to myself without having to rely on someone to help me with the light array thingy everyday!). 

Of course, mom and I (👵🏼&👩🏼) also watched a couple episodes of Downton Abbey, while I had the lights on and she attempted to dive into our overflowing basket of mismatched socks, to find pairs. Very very brave indeed!! My hubby is ready to throw them all into the garbage and head to Costco or Walmart or somewhere to buy us all new ones. Many of the same colour and brand and style. Then, each person gets their one colour and then when the socks come out of the drier, they just get separated by colour and thrown into that person’s sock drawer. I mean, seriously, how many families would save time and effort by following this simple system? Maybe we could market it. And set up one of those kiosk type things in the mall. We could sell a rich range of colour and style options. Perhaps even have the names embroidered on the more pricey socks. We could even have a wide range of  fabric types from basic, cheap polyester to fuzzy fleece to cotton or even organic cotton or bamboo. This here shows proof of someone who has far too much time on their hands. Yes, I may have embellished my hubby’s idea somewhat (the last time when we were at Walmart he bought a huge package of 12 -cheap- black socks. All identical. He has found that finding matching socks before work much easier. However, he has come to accept that, as I said to him, they are cheap socks. Yet, his idea was sound though. Especially when he is responsible for laundry when I’m having a bad/hard week…as in my health. I could easily assign colours to the kids. Although kids socks are easier when they’re coloured and such. It just gets hard when half of your overflowing basket of clean socks are black or dark dark navy! And look at this…I just managed to write a huge random paragraph dedicated almost completely to socks!! On the bright side of things, sandal weather is here, or damn damn close!!! Then we won’t have to even think about socks!!

Hopefully one day I’ll get it right, or at least have fun, while about it I write!!
