Big Bang Day

My hubby and I watched a lot of The Big Bang Theory on the android box today. It’s a really funny and entertaining show! I’ve always found it entertaining, but didn’t watch regularly or anything, though I always said that it’s a series that would be fun to watch all the way through. However, now that we have the android box, I am able to watch them all! So we started before Christmas with season 1 and we’re now on season 7. I really enjoy it. It’s a comedy, so it’s entertaining and funny, but it also has a running story that progresses as you watch. I really enjoy it! It’s very easy to watch, not overly serious or sad. Sometimes it will touch on more serious themes, but there’s always humour in it. It’s nice to watch something lighthearted, I usually watch more serious shows or crime-type shows. I really enjoy the characters and their quirky personalities. How they, as actors, can keep a straight face throughout astonishes me. The things that they’re saying are sometimes so crazy or funny, I’d enjoy watching bloopers for this show!

Other than the above, I really didn’t do all that much today. Last night and this morning my face has been bugging me a bit. Not super bad, but not great either. It feels like what happens when it’s getting ready to get bad, but it’s not really bad yet. Hopefully it doesn’t move much farther from this preliminary stage. I really am not wanting a full flare up to happen. It hasn’t been that bad lately and  I’ve been feeling spoiled because of it. Also, I feel like I can’t enjoy feeling good, because I keep waiting for the other shoe to drop. I am ready for it to be bad again, when I should be enjoying the fact that it’s not that bad right now. By the time I’m ready to accept that maybe I can have an okay day, it’s going to get bad again!! I know that’s not the best way to think, it’s just difficult to accept. Anyway, I’m going to run for now, but I’ll be back sane place tomorrow!! Until then, night all💤😴

Chicken Soup

Didn’t do that much today… 

I Read some of my book,
And I Made homemade soup.

It was fairly easy to cook.

Taking out the bones,

Is the worst part!

Other than that,

It’s remembering to start!

If it’s not on early enough,

It won’t be ready on time.

Then we’d eat too late.

I can’t think of a rhyme! 

The soup was ready on time! 

It tasted really good.

All three of the kids ate it,

Just like you’d think they would!

But I have really picky kids,

Who are sometimes hard to feed.

But at least most of them like books, 

It’s so important for kids to read!

I’m talking about anything now,

Rambling on and on.

It’s easy to rhyme about whatever,

But I’ll stop before I go on too long.

New Red Dancing Shoes!

Today was pretty lazy. It’s still snowing and cold outside. Thankfully, it’s supposed to warm up this week. I’m sick of snow and definitely feeling ready for spring! We haven’t had a horrible winter, I’m just ready for winter to be finished. Also, as I’ve mentioned before, I just hate driving in the winter. Speaking of driving,  the girls and I drove to South Common this afternoon (not the smartest in a Saturday-it’s so darn busy on the weekends). We found red runners, the light Keds type, at Ardene’s for only $15!! My dancer girl needed them for hip hop. They go with her Velma costume for her Scooby Doo hip hop dance. I’m so happy we found such affordable ones! Usually we spend a great deal more than that for hip hop runners! I also thought it’d be more difficult to find red ones…we were lucky! The roads weren’t actually that bad this afternoon. It was snowing, but it wasn’t a heavy snowfall. I probably wouldn’t have gone today if the conditions were worse. Now I just need to get a pair of tan jazz shoes (which are always expensive) and tights and we’ll be ready for competitions. Actually, we’re still waiting on her solo costume. However, we’ve ordered it, it just hasn’t arrived yet. All of the other costumes are ready to go or still coming from the dance school and not my responsibility to order …I just have to pay!! lol. Her competitions begin at the end of the month. Soon I’ll be busy busy busy. I can’t believe that she’s doing a solo. I’m nervous about it. I don’t know why – just a Mom thing, I guess. I’m sure she’ll do well…it’s just nerve-wracking! And that’s how I feel, so I understand how she feels! The first competition at the end of March is just a hip hop competition only. My daughter is quite good at hip hop, but she’s nervous for this competition. It’s supposed to be a difficult competition with “elite” dancers (whatever that means!). Last year only the senior girls entered that competition. They did well, but they were the older girls and they were considered beginners!! That was an excellent dance too. They ended up doing very well. This year, that group is considered intermediate and my daughter’s class is in the beginner category. I don’t know how they decide. Every competition comes up with their levels differently. Some it’s number of years dancing, some it’s age, some it’s a combination of the two. Often it will explain how they decided on their levels in the front of the program for each individual competition. Sometimes it’s hard to understand or it doesn’t make sense when you see kids who look 12 dancing against 16 or 17 year olds, but you can’t do anything about it. They are where they are and that’s that. Even if it seems to look unfair. I’m sure that there are all sorts of differing opinions about how to place the kids in the levels!! Well, it is what it is. It’ll be a good experience for them to be at a different type of competition, even if it’s more difficult. I’m sure that they’ll do fine. Wow! I’m rambling! I should probably get going – this is getting long. I’m tired and it’s only 9:00!! Feeling like I could fall asleep right now! Well, I’m not going to bed yet…soon though. Night all💤😴

Contest Girl!!

Today I entered contests…a lot! Did you know how many contests you can find online? I sure didn’t. You see, I want to go on a trip. However, we can’t afford to go on a trip.  So, I’ve decided, why not win one!! I know that doing so isn’t exactly guaranteed or easy. However, I figure that to beat the odds I must enter a LOT of contests. Did you know that some people enter contests full time. Yep! That’s all they do. These people go on multiple trips have top of the line televisions, etc.  I don’t see myself becoming a full time contest enterer. However, there is nothing to stop me from entering many contests. Play the odds right? The more I enter, the better chance I have of winning, right??!! So, following that premise, I entered many many contests today. So go ahead…wish me luck!! I suppose the biggest downfall is, I may end up on more email lists than I like. If I continue entering these contests, I may create a contest gmail…good for thought!

Other than contest sign ups, I didn’t do much today. I made a wonderful stew in the crockpot this morning.  Mmmm it was certainly very tasty, when we ate it for supper! I love those kind of hearty home cooked meals. My hubby got home today, so I don’t have to worry anymore. He’s been gone, to Lloydminister all week and he had to drive the Miata in this stupid snowy weather. Which isn’t the safest in the world and leaves me worried the entire time!!  We talked lots and watched some tv. We really didn’t do much. My hubby’s out for drinks right now with some work friends. I didn’t really feel up to going out tonight. He said he’s tired and will only be gone for a short time. However, he’s said that before and hasn’t come home for hours. Not that it matters much, I’m just going to sleep. It’s just funny how he truly believes he’s going to be quick. Every time!! Lol. Speaking of bed, I’m going to go and hi the hay! Night all 💤😴

Come Fly With Me

Drifting aimlessly across the sky.

Looking down as the world floats by.

So this is what it’s like to fly!

Feeling the air press upon my wings,

The whistle it makes sounds like it sings.

Oh how I relish doing these things!

Soaring over mountains and into the waves.

The pictures I see, my mind forever saves.

This must be how a bird behaves!

Look up at the sky, do you see me?

I float on the air and zoom over the sea!

There’s no better place for me to be!

Diving down cliffs and through the mist.

Into a rainbow that shines on my wrist.

Come fly with me, I do insist!

Little Man

Feeling lazy and tired

I’m so ready for bed

My throat really hurts

And so does my head

My son’s now awake

And it’s too late

I have to go 

And that I hate

He’s only six

He needs to sleep

Until the morning 

When the alarm goes beep

Then he has to get up

And get ready for school 

He’s in grade one

Isn’t that cool

He’s getting big

They grow so fast

These younger days

Never seem to last

And so I’ll go

Give him a kiss

These precious times

I’ll one day miss

The Bachelor Isn’t So Bad Afterall!!

My dancer and I are really into The Bachelor this season. It’s actually the first time we’ve ever watched it. She would get rides from dance and the other girl and her dad were always talking about it. So, she wanted to watch it so she could know what they were talking about. It’s season 21 and I had no idea what to expect. I’m surprised by how hooked I am. I thought it would bother me, all these perfect girls ogling and trying to impress some arrogant guy…but it’s not like that at all! I mean some scenes have the ladies arguing or butting heads. But the main guy isn’t an arrogant jerk, he actually seems like a genuine honest guy who’s looking for the love of his life. He’s serious about finding love and getting married and starting a family and life with someone. He’s honest and open about his feelings and about what he’s thinking. He’s refreshingly different from what I expected. As well, most of the women are, of course, beautiful, but they have substance! They are smart and open and honest, vulnerable and scared and it’s hard not to get drawn into the relationships that are forming and as a viewer, you get attached to certain people and cheer them on and hope and pray that they can find love and true happiness. I was shockingly surprised…I wasn’t sure I’d like it, but I wanted to watch something with my daughter, as she usually just watches YouTube and isn’t doing much with us, because she always seems to be dancing!! So I originally watched it just to be doing something with her, but, like I said, I’m hooked! Today we watched last nights. It went down to the final two and the finale is on Monday. Our favourite is still there-actually, both of our favourites are there, but we want it to be one girl a little more than the other. I feel like a hypocrite watching it, I know I’ve made fun of it in the past! But, it defied my expectations and I’m really enjoying it!! So other than a failed attempt to make slime with the kids today, we watched a three hour long episode of The Bachelor. Then, I drove her to dance. While she was dancing we killed time in Winners and Walmart and then came home. Then our oldest practiced her pat downs on us, since she’s now in training at work. Then we went to bed. Which I’m going to do right now!! Night all💤😴

Deeper

Falling deeper than before.

Afraid to open up my eyes.

Hoping things aren’t as bad as they seem.

Around the corner may be blue skies!

Yet that corner seems miles away;

Here and now, it all seems bleak,

With little hope or way out for me.

I just can’t seem to find what I seek.

I’m lost and alone, no sense of direction, 

Floating aimlessly in this gloom.

I haven’t even looked outside, 

Or pulled back a curtain in my room!

How did I fall again?

Oh what went wrong to get me here?

I don’t know my next step.

And that fills my heart with fear!

Somewhere, somehow it must improve. 

This just can’t be my forever!

Please take my hand and cradle my heart,

 We’ll find a way out together!

Sorry so depressing. This is just what came out tonight! It doesn’t reflect on my life!!

Old Friends 

Met some good friends today 

We’ve come such a long long way

Been friends since elementary school 

Back when we thought we were cool

We saw a movie together

We didn’t yesterday because of the weather 

The movie was a bit serious for us

But we didn’t make a fuss

Then we went for coffee and tea

Such good old friends to me

I missed them a whole whole lot

I’d rather see them more often than not

It was a nice chance to visit and talk

Jo’s always been my rock

Stinie looked good today

She’s always there to stay 

So nice to see my friends 

It’s always sad when our time ends

Take care until next time I see you

I miss you and love you too

TN Daughter??? Ug!!

A few people have asked me about what “bad news” I was writing about the other day. For the past month my oldest daughter hasn’t been feeling great. She had a bad cold and sinus infection that left her with a bad ear ache. Well, her darn ear wouldn’t stop bothering her. She saw four different doctors. The one last weekend gave her antibiotics. However, throughout the week she continued to be in pain and thought it was actually getting worse. So on Thursday we went to a dr in Beaumont, who had seen her earlier in the month and had told her she couldn’t see anything wrong with her ear. The doctor looked at her again and her ear is fine. The dr began to tell us about a nerve that ends right in front of the ear. I interrupted her and told her that I myself have Trigeminal Neuralgia. Well, this dr seems to think my baby may have it too 😱😨😢. The week previously, I was joking around with my daughter saying hey, maybe you have TN. You have Ice pick stabbing pain that feels like severe ear pain…you can’t really describe it easily. I reminded her that they thought I had chronic ear infections for over a year before I got the correct diagnosis. I told her that I prayed that she doesn’t actually have it, once we were done kidding around. That’s the night that the dr thought her ear was inflamed and gave her the antibiotics. I was relieved. I wouldn’t wish this illness on my worst enemy, let alone my own daughter!!! But, now, this dr thinks she does have TN. It makes me sick to my stomach. I’m hoping that she’s wrong! It seems too easy, maybe she should see my dr or a neurologist. I just want her to feel better. If she does have it, there’s no one better to understand the pain she’s been in. She may just have it, I don’t know?! I’m no dr.        She has had moments when it’s so bad that she’s cried. I know that feeling. Hopefully, if she does have TN, that it responds to the medication and isn’t resistant to treatment, like mine was. I do not want her to go through what I did. Not even close. If she has to experience the most painful disorder known to humankind, 🙏🏼🙏🏼please God, let it be short lived🙏🏼🙏🏼. The whole thing scares me more than you know. I’m going to try to get some sleep. Night all💤😴
