Just sat outside with my family. Had fresh sandwiches. All of us sitting together eating and talking. No tv, phones, iPods, etc. No arguments. Just a nice, quiet visit without interference from anything. It just felt very calm and relaxed, which I must admit is rare – lol!! Usually with 5 of us in our small house it’s pretty loud and busy. Everyone has something that has to get done or somewhere to go. There is always something going on. So, after my hubby & the kids spent a few hours outside, mowing the lawn, raking, weed-sacking, etc., I made thesandwiches and we all stayed outside. It was very nice! Then, after eating, the kids played basketball, we just watched, for almost an hour! It was really nice. They were running, laughing and playing. They somehow made it work, despite the age gap! I really enjoyed it! I usually feel like I have to either beg or force the girls to play with their brother! There’s always something else that they would rather do (and for the most part, I don’t really blame them because he is so much younger than them!) But this just sort of spontaneously happened, without any pleading or encouragement from us!! Weird but nice. I do understand that they wouldn’t want to spend hours playing with their brother, when he is 5 and our oldest turning 18 In a couple weeks and our middle child will be 13 at the end of the month. It’s not like they’ve a whole lot in common! It was just a nice evening. One of those diamonds that just appears, without any fuss! Nice😍

The Ice In Your Heart

A trampled heart. A darkened soul.

Perhaps estrangement was your goal?

A judging scowl. A dismissive shrug.

I don’t understand why you’re so smug.

A selfish grin. A quick retreat.

Remind me why we had to meet!

When the ice in your heart cracks and shatters,

Will there be anyone left who really matters??

Feeling stressed out. Too much going on right now. My body is tired today. If that makes any sense! I feel it saying “no!” I need to learn to listen to myself more. I’m actually mentally tired too! So, maybe I’m just totally tired…I don’t know. This might just seem like nonsense babbling. I’m no even sure what I’m trying to say. I think that, because I haven’t been getting enough sleep, my body just decided that it had enough. It needed to revolt. So, all day felt like one of those days when wherever I went or whatever I did, I had to drag myself there. My body felt heavy and achy and basically just concluded that today it’s had enough! Now I feel completely tired, body and mind. I just want to stop thinking. I want to stop complaining. I want to stop feeling, or rather over-feeling. I want to stop worrying about things that I cannot fix, broken relationships, my sick mother-in-law, my overworked and stressed out husband…Just everything. I want it all to just stop for the night. I want to lie down in my bed with a clear, relaxed mind, thankful for all I have and not wanting or worrying or anything else. Just a nice deep, restful sleep. I want to wake up feeling well-rested and ready to take on the world, not reaching out for my medications because I automatically wake to pain. As of right this second, I’m done for the day! I’m turning off my brain and going to sleep!

Right now!!

Drawing dragons (skylanders) with my 5 year old son. This is his drawing of Spyro (I think that’s the name…): Apparently I lose, (everything has to be a competition or battle…huh. And, I always lose, or tie. However, I never win 😫. Boys are so different from girls – lol). Here’s my Spyro: And that is all!

Late last night, while sleeping in my bed

Old stabbing face pain chose to wake me up instead

And when the pain knocked me over, I winked my eye and said

It’s gonna be a long night, ruled by damn pain, tonight

Ouch! Ouch! Ouch!!!

Yay Us!!!

Today was a strange day. Well, not necessarily strange, it just kind of felt like there was no day. It was a blink & it’s over kind of day. I guess it just went by super fast. Then my hubby came home and we all went to The Minions movie (not sure if that’s the exact title, but that probably doesn’t matter!) The movie was filled with good fun & laughs & a really great soundtrack, which was unexpected! I love these kind of movies, that kind of appeals to everyone (mostly anyway. I really did enjoy the movie, but on the way there I was saying to my hubby that I’m kind of “Minioned out!!” As cute & funny as they are, I am getting a little sick of seeing them popping up everywhere I go!!) Anyway, as I was starting to say, the movie appealed to a large audience. These film makers have sure figured out how to draw people in. It’s not completely through the kids though, much effort is used to grab adults, mostly parents, attention. Because, if the parent/parents/grandparents/etc., are interested in the movie, they are more likely to get the family together and go. Appealing to the parents also helps bring in viewers, if the parents are somewhat interested or intrigued by the movie and then their children ask and ask and ask and ask and ask and ask…well, you get the picture (especially if you’re a parent!!) You’re more likely to take them to the show if you’re a bit interested too. And, wow quite the ramble! My long and drawn out point is that we all enjoyed this movie. And, in case you don’t know, I have 3 kids. One who recently turned 5. Our daughter, in the middle, is about to turn 13. And, finally, our oldest just graduated and will be 18 in a few weeks! (Seriously strange & scary…). So, adding my hubby & I into this, we are a family of five, with a large age range in our kids. This movie was enjoyable for each of us, we all had fun. It is often difficult to get everyone to agree on a movie and for all of us enjoy it!!

Just For Me

Sometimes I stress myself out about these posts! I feel like I need to come up with something to write about. I almost feel guilty when I have a bla day, followed by a bla day, on top of another bla day. I start to feel guilty for writing, yet again, about how shitty I feel that day. Or I write about no accomplishing much, etc. I find myself worrying more about what “the reader” may get out of reading this, rather than what I earn from writing. This conflicts with the whole reason I started writing this. I needed to commit myself to something. Something that I do for myself on a daily basis. I needed to show myself that I can still follow through and that I am worthy enough to spend a bit of time doing something for myself. I really needed to remind myself that I am more than a sick person. I am still in here, sometimes buried beneath my pain, but still here. I decided to write this to find a way out. To show that I’m more than my pain. I wrote this just for me.

Migraine Anyone

Bed time bed time, it’s so late! Today was a bit of a blur. It’s one of those days that feels busy, but when you look back on it, you didn’t do much. Dishes, vacuuming, etc. we’re done today, sometimes none of those even happen! My hubby came home, for about 30minutes and then left again for a football game. So I didn’t actually get to see him or talk much to him. He’s exhausted from working 16hour days for a week. I’m just exhausted from housework…

I have to take my migraine meds and go to bed. The light on my iPad is hurting me. Sorry. Not the most fascinating post ever, but I have to stop because it’s difficult to focus.

ARGH!!!

Super super worn out right now. Went to South Common with the kids, plus one (my oldest’s bff). Shopping tires me! And it’s hard with a 5 year old boy, he loses patience very quickly and it didn’t help that his tummy was bugging him. I am feeling just over-the-top sleepy. I’m feel like I could fall asleep on the spot. I’m also feeling super stressed & upset about a few things. But, I won’t make the mistake of getting into details on here. Im feeling too angry and annoyed. I I know that if I get into it I will likely end up saying things that are better off unspoken, at least through this medium. Yesterday’s post came from the same topics…All that I will say is ARGH!!!!

In other news, I’m happy that my hubby comes home tomorrow. It’s been poopy without him here, I just don’t like it. It opens my eyes to how much he does for me, or rather, for us. I’m also wanting his hug. I lean on him for so much. I sure don’t like him working out of town. Strange how much I depend on him. When I was younger I always thought that when I grew up I would be independent, able to take care of myself and not rely only on a man. At least the man I ended up depending on loves me and our kids and will do anything for us. I’m so thankful for him!

What Do You Believe

Do you believe in karma

Do you believe in fate

Do you think there are consequences

For all of your mistakes

Do you feel accountable

For all you say or do

Are you ready to stand up

For all you believe is true

Do things happen for a reason

Is there a lesson to be learned

Are our blessings blindly given

Or are they something to be earned
