Sicko…

Feeling this sick and fluey sucks! (I’m not sure fluey is an actual word!!) oh well she, I’m sure you get y drift! I had a sick, lazy nothing day. Most of the afternoon was spent lying down feverish and cold/hot cold/hot over and over. I was in and out of sleep. I didn’t even have to drive one kid anywhere!!! That’s thanx to my hubby😘. I did play with Gabe from after school until our oldest got home from work and was settled in to watch “Conviction” on tv with me. He got all upset, but we had been playing together for hours!! So a good thing we stopped. He needs to learn that I’m not put here to be his plaything and that it’s okay to play by yourself!! The actual show took forever to watch, because of how many times we have to pause it to talk to either Arizona or little man. I keep making a million typos, because I’m so blech and sick that I can’t keep my eyes open! I’m going to head to bed now – ug. I just about deleted this. Shit I’m out of it.  I need rest!

Decorating Is Done…Yay!!

I’m sick…blech! My voice is all scratchy and I have an achy body, a headache and all the other fun stuff that comes with being sick. Not fun. We finished our decorating today. It looks pathetic outside and, as usual,overcrowded inside. But, I guess that’s just what I get! The queen of clutter has to carry that tradition right on over to Christmas… ug!  You can tell that our tree was decorated by kids, but that’s what I love about it! I can have a perfect, colour coordinated, fancy department store tree when I’m old and no longer have young kids in the house! Right now, Christmas is about the kids basically, so why not let them help and do their thing. It makes it special. A tree full of memories!  We had so much fun doing it. Everyone was getting along and laughing and playing, it was good!  Onof the next things that I have to do, after we finish Gabe’s stuff, is go through my clothes…eeeee! I’m not sure who I want to do that with.  I am anxious about it. I’ve gained weight, so I have things that don’t fit. However, some of them are my favourites and I’m contemplating keeping some…I can’t decide. I know that logically, if it doesn’t fit, it’s just going to be sitting there. However, I’m going to start my exercising again soon. Both of my dr’s say that I should be exercising. It’s so difficult to find the energy, when I feel like poo most of the time. But I’m extremely self-conscious and uncomfortable at my current weight…so I don’t want to stay there. Anyway, so I guess I’ll keep favorites, but not everything. I just have far too much. I could maybe do it with my mom, if I have to try things on I would feel embarrassed, I hate how big I am right now! I do know that it needs to get done. I can’t even hardly walk in my room because of the baskets of clean clothes. I need to start with the dresser, move to the closet and then worry about the bins. Because I need the places that the clothing actually goes to to be organized, before I can unload the baskets!! Anywho…lots to do. Like…go to bed!! I’m sooo tired. So, I’ll check in tomorrow, as per usual!!

Put The Tree Up

Since my dad 👴🏼and I👱🏼‍♀️ did the cleaning during the week, we changed “tree 🌲day”, as we call it, to today! This means our tidy living room became, temporarily, chaotic🙈! We had boxes of ornaments and decorative items🏺🎁⚱️ everywhere🙊!! With as little bickering as possible, between the children 👩‍👧‍👦, we decorated our tree 🌲 ! So, believe it or not 😳 I had another day of getting things done…that’s 3 days in a row😲😯‼️. I just love❤️ going through the boxes 📦 and reminiscing about old times. We start telling stories 📖 and laughing 😂 about old things we may have done or said. I get a bit nostalgic, but I do love ❤️ it!! And of course, as you go along, we’re making new memories 💭.  I’m keeping this short, because I’m tired😴and I’m getting sick 😷. Also, these emoticons are not as easy to sneak in as they look, they’re actually a pain in the behind😳! Are dryer almost caught fire🔥 this afternoon! Seriously, the smoke 💨 detector actually went off and , well it worked by letting us know that something was clearly wrong!! The smell 👃🏼would have five. It Away had the sound👂🏼not alerted 🚨 us! After all this, we went to my parents 👴🏼👵🏼house🏠for supper 🍅🍞🍝🍛🍷🍽. (Lots of food ones!). Our daughter had dance 💃, so we decided to go for a visit while she was dancing  💃.  Our oldest brought her laundry 👱🏼‍♀️to my parent’s 👴🏼👵🏼 since our dryer crapped out mid load. She was able to get it all washed and dried. I’m going to go to bed 💤. I’m too tired and feel sick🙍🏼. Night all !

Got More Stuff Done

My son’s room has a floor again

It wasn’t that much of a pain

We picked up clothes, blankets, toys and sheets

They were everywhere that the eye meets

The things that were small

We got rid of them all

The things that still fit

We found a spot for it

My dad helped again

He didn’t complain

Even though it was bad

He didn’t get mad

When my room was that way

Way back in the day

The mess frustrated him so

Probably more than I know

So we cleaned a lot 

Done? We are not

But we got a good start

Before we had to part

We got a lot done

All for my son

It makes him so happy

And that makes me happy

He can now find his toys

And make lots of noise

But that’s just fine

I won’t even whine 

I’m going to bed

I have pain in my head

So goodnight I say

Hope you had a great day

Got Stuff Done

My dad came over today and helped me tidy up the living room and go through some of my son’s toys. We plan on putting up the Christmas tree on Sunday. Saturday we had set aside as a clean up day, but my dad and I got a good start on it today, which helps tremendously!! My son’s room is now horrendous, I need my Jo back for that!! We moved whatever toys didn’t fit on the toy shelf in the living room, up into his bedroom. Problem is, his room was already pretty chaotic! Jo and I had it sooo clean. Then my hubby’s version of cleaning the hall closet was to put blankets, sheets, etc. That didn’t fit into the closet into my son’s room. There already also clothes and toys everywhere…Jo – help!! There are some things that I’m putting on Beaumont buy and sell, that I can no longer even get to, and I wanted the, posted before Christmas. I don’t know if Jo will believe me, but I really do plan on selling things. I just have to figure out what. The toys that we brought upstairs should fit, if we can get the clothes, blankets sheets, etc out of the way!! It’s just a matter of doing it. My daddy wants to come help again, but I worry that we’ll disagree about what to keep and what to get rid of…I also forgot I told Tay that we’d go shopping for boots for her tomorrow. I guess I’ll just play it by ear and see what we end up doing. It’s already after midnight. I’m feeling really sleepy. I stayed up way too late last night fiddling around on Facebook and eBay. You can sure lose time while doing those things!! I have to check a couple things out. But I plan on being fast. None of this slow, up really late stuff for me tonight. My hubby comes home tomorrow. Yay!! It’s so weird when he’s out of town! I’m heading for bed. Going to do my quick search and then go to bed. 💤💤💤

Almost Done…Yay!!

I’m tired today. My face wasn’t great and I felt very bla! all day. I actually napped off and on for most of the afternoon, (while the kids were in school). It helped the face a bit, but it didn’t really help the tired feeling. I felt like a chauffeur this evening. My poor little man was in the car with me from 5:30 – 8:45…ug! We had to drop Kaysi off at dance, then drive to meet a lady to pick up a a Christmas gift for my hubby, from there, we drove to the airport and picked up my oldest from work. Then we headed back into the city and to dance, we were about 15 minutes early. Then we drove to Beaumont, dropped off the little girl we car pool with and finally went home! It was ridiculously long and boring. My little guy actually slept through quite a bit of the ride. I think my hubby is going to love this gift!! It should be a surprise to see his reaction. He’s always asking to give him ways to help save money, so hopefully, this should help!!  I’ve really got to start wrapping the Christmas gifts that I’ve bought. I have a bad habit of leavng it until late and then having to do it all in the few days before Christmas, which just gets stressful!! Maybe Jo will help me again. She’s good at wrapping and, truth be told, I think she actually likes it!! I don’t mind a bit, but it just gets to be a bit much at Christmas time. We’re trying to cut back this year. Or at least that’s what we said we were doing! I feel like we still got a lot! I guess we’ll see, once it’s all wrapped up. I’m almost done, which is a really nice feeling. I just have to get the S.S. Stuff done and then I’ll be finished! It was ice cold out today, with the wind! Brrrrr…it was cold. We may not have a lot of snow yet, but with the wind-chill, it certainly felt like a winter day! It’s always the wind that gets yah! I’m beat, so I think I’m going to get some sleep. Oh…it’s 11:11…make a wish!!

Night all…😴💤

Falling Apart

Drifting aimlessly through a wellspring of tears

She hopes she’s confronted the last of her fears

Wordlessly she wanders without intent

No forward motion without his consent

Rounding corners her own fickle way

She smacks face to face with another day

Dreading the one when it’s all too much

She’s unsure when they’ll ever be able to touch

Desiring him always in every way alive

His mind and laughter his will and his drive

Alone she doesn’t function half as well

But he’ll never know if she’ll never tell

So carelessly he reacts to her quiet 

In a way which causes her heart to riot 

If only he knew what was truly in her heart

Perhaps it’d stop things from falling apart

Nerves…

Feeling super tired after a very busy Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Well, yesterday wasn’t that busy, but today I feel wiped!!  Ready for bed, that’s for sure! Ug. My son had a tummy ache and stayed home from school today. It’s his special, “Star of the week” week, yet he stayed home. Afterwards, when we were talking, he told me he’s nervous everyday at school, everyday!! This just makes me sick to my stomach, to think about him sitting there in class feeling nervous and anxious. He says, he doesn’t know why, “he just is” and “maybe that’s why my tummy hurts.” My poor little man. He can’t really tell me why he’s anxious at school, just that he is. I have to talk to his teacher and nip this in the bud, before it turns into something bigger.  But how???  Talk to the counsellor? Talk to just the teacher first and then if needed, talk with the counsellor. He can’t keep missing school. That’s definitely a bad habit to start. He was both excited and nervous about being this weeks star of the week. I guess I’ll email the teacher to start. Maybe she’ll have some suggestions. I guess that will be my first step. I certainly don’t want to spend my days waiting and worrying about if he’s doing okay. I guess, if I can stay awake, I have to get that email done to her ASAP. This is short and sweet tonight. Sorry about that, but I have to write that email and get some sleep!😴

The Stream Of Life

Drifting through the stream of life,

She bumps and splashes and screams!

The joy, the fear, the love, the hate,

All show up in her dreams.

With eyes closed, they come to her,

Filled with fantasy and flair,

And emotions straight from her heart.

They always know what’s there!

Meanwhile she’s lost in her little world,

Unsure of what’s real, and what’s not!

What’s here – what’s over there,

Her confusion and fears eat at her a lot!

If only she was half the person,

Others thought that she could be…

But with her brilliant smile, her joy, her heart,

Which, for some reason, she just won’t see.

She’s that person already, and she’s great!

She’s perfect as she is,  just so.

We’re all confused, unsure and hesitant,

That’s how we learn and grow!

Good Day

Hmmmm…long day today and I’m pooped! This will be brief because I’m lying down in bed, half asleep already! We went to the festival of trees early this afternoon, because my daughter was dancing in it, for it or during it…how to word that?? Weird…  Any-who! She had two dances. One was her jazz group and the other was a large group Christmas dance. She did really well. Her cartwheels have improved since I last watched her perform it. That makes me feel like maybe he extra acro class is helping, which is good!  The festival of trees was fun for my son. They have lots of activities for children. He decorated a mini Christmas tree, ditto to a gingerbread cookie, he made an ornament, foot to shoot a hockey puck and he did the kids shopping. They have a little “store” set up where they go in with however much money you want to give them and a helper goes with the, and they buy Christmas gifts for their family members. Parents aren’t allowed inside. He really enjoys it. After the festival of trees, we had to run home, then we went to my Mom and dad’s to celebrate my dad’s birthday. My sister and her family were there as well, which was nice. I’m beat! I’m sorry but I’m just too sleepy to keep writing. I’m having a difficult time staying awake. Until tomorrow…😘
