Full Day!!

Feeling super-de-duper tired tonight! I had a long day, especially for me!

This will be maybe my shortest post yet, but I’m just done!! Done done!
Met Shaniice (my coach) at Starbucks (she’s super nervous fe and her kiddos are pretty darn adorable! Came home cleaned up a wlot nter’s worth of dog shit (from not 1, but 2 dogs!!) Then Tay and I did the first part of our workout, went too pick my little man from a friend’s house. Onc home again, we finished our workout. Then we got dressed a bit nicer and we went to my good friend’s house. Her daughter and our daughter are close friends. It was her daughter’s birthday party, we went to help out and to have our own visit. It was a lot to of fun and good to see them, as time goes by so so fast!!

But, I’m just exhausted and need to throw my butt in bed!! Until tomorrow…

Loose Tooth Boy

On our way home from mom and dad’s. Had a good meal, a nice visit and played the monopoly card game. I was a bit,annoyingly, resistant. I’ve never been a fan of monopoly. It just goes on and on and on and on and on… It can get ruthless and, yes it’s just a game, but I’m not one of the super-competitive types (unlike my hubby…& my kids). I’m going to come across as a bit dopey, but I’m not good at taking people’s money or cards or property…well, it’s not that I’m not good at it, but I feel guilty or “mean”. I don’t know. I guess I’m just a suck…

We got home and I started to feel super dizzy and nauseous. I’m not sure why. It’s not a nice feeling. I hope I fe l okay tomorrow, because I’m meeting my coach (Shaniice) tomorrow at 12:30 and in the evening we’re going to visit with some friends. Their oldest is one of our middle daughter’s close friends. It’s her birthday party tomorrow and we’re going to help out where it’s needed and then just hang out and visit. I’m looking forward to it. We always have a good time when we see them. So, I hope that this yucky feeling goes away. It’s funny how used to pain I am, but when other things, seemingly less severe hit me, I still feel just as yucky as anyone else would feel, if they were dizzy and nauseous. I sometimes feel like it’s so normal for me to be feeling bad, that when I feel like tonight, it’s like my family’s reactions is non-existent. How t that I need them to feel bad or sorry for me or anything.  Just a small recognition that something’s off, I’m not feeling well. Now when I feel like I do tonight and I say something about it I get nothing. Oh well. I guess I’ve used up all of my “I don’t feel well” complaints for the year, or more like, for a lifetime!! Oh well. I’m a survivor and, even if a little “aww, feel better” or even a”can I get you anything” would be nice, life’s not over without it. I just had a little gravol and I’m going to bed. Fingers crossed for feeling better tomorrow!!

One last thing. When we got home my little man bit into a cookie and his already wiggly tooth got even more loose. So loose that, not much later, he pulled it out. A little early, and only one tooth, but of cours my hubby and I both broke into “all I want for Christmas is my two front teeth…”

Here he is:

Feel Like I’d Make A Good Coach!!

Just got off the phone from this weeks coaches team call. There’s so much going on with Beachbody right now. I’m still very green, but it’s neat to hear about all the things that will soon be available. Also it makes me want to try BOD, which is Beachbody on demand. There’s a new reality show coming a cooking show that teaches how to cook great things, while still using your containers and eating clean. All sorts of workouts that you can do. It’s pretty cool. Soon dvd’s are going to be a thing of the past. It’s all pretty neat. I’m hoping that I can run a challenge group with my coach in April. Even if I don’t have anyone to sign-up for one yet…hopefully soon I will. I love the whole idea of being a coach. To help people learn to take care of themselves, to eat well and exercise. There’s a lot of self-care and self-love and confidence and body image issues. It may not be exactly what I originally planned for a career, but it’s something. It’s doing something!! If I can help someone to see that they are deserving of love.  That I can be a part of someone’s journey to health and wellness, is something. It’s important and something I think I’d be good at. So, hopefully, I can move forward, myself, continue eating well and exercising. Just to start living and functioning as a normal(ish) person. If I can do it, with all of the bs I have the pleasure of dealing with day to day, health-wise, then I can certainly help others. It’s not that far off from my helping career that I had in a past life, lol. I’m not a big sales type of person, but I’m absolutely a helping others type. That’s for sure. Doing this online, at home, according to my own schedule and when I feel up to it, just fits with where I am right now. It helps to give me a purpose again. So, if anyone is interested in the 21 day fix or BOD or joining a community of really incredible and kind people, just let me know!! Putting yourself first is important. If you don’t take care of yourself, you won’t be the best you that you can be. If you feel good and confident with yourself, if you take time to care for yourself, you will be ready to take care of others, especially those you love. (How cheesy does this all sound…??)

Waiting…

I’m sitting in my van while my daughter’s in dance.

I may just have a nap, while I still have a chance!

I brought things to do, but don’t feel up to it.

My meds made me sleepy so I just may rest a bit. 

Sorry that’s repetitive, it’s just what’s on my mind. 

If I stop writing soon, you’d likely think I’m kind. 

It’d give you a little break from my random rhyming. 

It’s probably getting annoying, you’d rather I start miming!

I don’t know if that’s a word, my phone didn’t underline it. 

I just can’t get comfortable, no matter how I sit. 

I was going to do some Beachbody training. 

Listening to how I should get started, instead I’m here complaining!

I’m happy that my hubby’s coming home today. 

I really don’t like it at all when he’s away. 

I know he has to travel, it’s no longer brand new. 

That doesn’t mean I like it, and I’m never going to!!

I have to go to the bathroom, but there’s no where to go. 

I’m not sure if I’m allowed to go inside, I just don’t know!

I think I’m going to stop now, my damn face is bugging me!

I may write more later, I guess we’ll have to see.

Did Next To Nothing

Today was bla. I felt tired and down. 

No huge reason, just out of sorts.

Did nothing much, besides drive around town. 

Didn’t make creme brûlée or any fancy torts. 

For the most part I just sat on my rear…

Watched some television and read my book. 

But I did do my workout, just to be clear.

The second phase is harder than it looks! 

So at least I did one thing, that is good. 

I need to do more, but some days are just hard. 

I some times get lost in the coulds and shoulds. 

I need to be nicer to myself, I have my feelings to guard…

Clean Room

Feeling super tired. My good friend came over this morning and helped me go through my son’s room. It was so bad that you couldn’t even walk in it, literally. He sleeps with my hubby and I and his room has been used pretty much as a dumping site…super unfair to him, since he couldn’t get to a lot of his toys and stuff. Our whole house is bursting at ththe seams. We just have too much stuff for the size of our house. It’s not a big house to start with, the fact is that it’s bursting at the seams! All five of us fit, tightly, but there’s zero room to spare. I wish with all my heart that we could move into a bigger house, but we just can’t afford it. If I was still working…(just add that to my ever-growing pile of guilt). Anyway, if you know me, you know that I’m not now and never have been, a morning person. But today I got my butt out of bed when Jo got here (around 9:30, which is sleeping in for many people, not me though). His room now looks like the room of a five year old little boy. Yay!! When he got home from school he was so so excited and happy. It’s too bad Jo couldn’t stay to see his face. He was so happy. It turned into a very very long day. I’m going to head to bed. I’ll leave you with a couple photos. One of the back of Jo’s van (with all the goodwill and garbage, way too much for Beaumont’s stupid garbage service) and the last one is his room. All nice and clean!! Went from the most cluttered room in the house to the tidiest!!
   

soooo clean!!!

When The Flame Ignites

What happens when the flame ignites?

It shoots it stabs like the blade of a knife!

Who gave this damn thing power and rights?

It hunts me down and takes over my life. 

Where did it come from, sneaking up on me?

Jab by jab, it wickedly strikes!

Why does this disease even have to be?

There is nothing more that I dislike!

When it’s gone it is such a shock!

I don’t know what to do, I just can’t relax…

When will it come back, I’m watching the clock.

It makes me feel like my sanity may crack…

Out Of Sorts

Today I feel sort-of out of sorts. Not really sure why. It’s just one of the bla days. The kind that feels like you’re going through the motions, but not much more. So, yes I still ate well and yes I still did my work-out. I just feel a bit off. I’m not feeling much like writing, this will likely end up being stupid short, but I don’t want it to turn into a poor me or whiny post. I have enough of them. I really don’t have anything to say, and , as they say, if I don’t have anything good to say…or is it something nice to say…I can’t even remember. So much for that quote – lol!! The play-by-play of my boring day wouldn’t be that great. So, I’m sticking to my guns here and hardly writing much today. For once when I say it’s going to be a short post, it really will. I need a good nights sleep. Time to recharge and, hopefully feel a bit more like myself tomorrow. Besides, for some strange reason my wrist really hurts and typing with my thumbs is just aggravating it!! Here’s to feeling better tomorrow 🍻.

In Her Mother’s Eyes 

The sun shone through the crystal in the window,

Sending endless rainbows through-out the room.

Her face lit up momentarily, she was still down though.

Despite the spring sunshine, she felt overwhelmed by gloom.

Her chest ached with pain, the emotional sort of pain,

But the feeling was so intense it felt like physical pain as well!

She didn’t know what to do when the thoughts flooded her brain.

She kept it to herself, isolated and alone, feeling she had no-one to tell.

Day after day, in the same slump, she lived without hardly a word.

Those who knew her best couldn’t possibly understand, right?

She worried that if she told someone, they’d laugh and think she’s absurd!

She wondered about leaving this world, just a short walk into the light. 

She figured she wouldn’t be missed and it would stop all the worries. 

She was scared inside, yet she thought maybe she’d actually feel relieved. 

She wondered if her family knew, when around them she always hurries,

To get away from their concerned eyes, they’d surely stop her, she believed,

To ask if she was okay, or what was wrong, telling her she can tell them anything.

“Not this” she thought to herself, no-one would understand…

She didn’t even understand why herself, yet her life was hanging by a string!

She looked down at her wrists, wondering how much pressure it’d demand…

Her mom came in her room, she sat and scratched her baby-girls back.

She looked up once, filled with confusion, into her mother’s eyes,

She wondered, should I tell her or keep it inside, as my own burden to bear?

But she saw herself there, in her mother’s eyes and she hugs her mom and cries. 

Her mom holds her tight and almost begs her to open up and share.

She finally starts talking and they talk and cry all night!

Everything has a solution, you just have to figure it out.

Working together, they decide that she needs to fight!

They find someone for her to talk to, and they leave no room for doubt. 

So if you’re ever feeling hopeless and think that no-one’s there,

Take a look around you, from your family to your friends. 

Those who love you will support you and they truly do care

Just talk talk talk to someone, this isn’t when your life ends!
