Annual Christmas Visit!

Super tired right now. I’m trying to get myself into bed as quickly as possible. Then I remember, “Oh no! I haven’t written my post yet today!!”  We just spent a fun evening with good friends.

 -Sipping margaritas & Corona with lime

-Munching on finger food 

-Playing cards 

-Hanging out

-Laughing, smiling, having fun

Thanx for a beautiful evening my friend!!βŒπŸ˜˜βŒβ€ΌοΈ

Here’s The Kiddos!!

  

“Last one to bed is the rotten egg…”

“Oh, looks like that’s me!!”πŸ’€πŸ’€πŸ’€

The Choice Is Yours

You can be positive or you can be negative,

The choice is yours to make.  

You can live your life with a smile or a frown.

You choose the road you’ll take. 

They’ll be ups and downs, both good and bad,

Some days you’ll want to quit.

You’ll make mistakes, some things won’t work,

Your heart may break a bit. 

But through it all, the ups and downs

You’ll start to find your way.

If you believe in yourself and follow your heart,

You’ll live passionately throughout your days.

A New Day Is Here

Open your eyes

A new day is here

Look all around

There’s nothing to fear.

Listen with care

Your heart will tell you

Which way to turn

And what you should do.

Let yourself go

You will find your way

Trust in yourself

You’re closer each day.

Rush Rush Rush!!!!!!

Well, I guess my daughter and I were wrong when we thought we fixed the settings to allow people to comment on this blog. Strange. We did a “practice” try, to make sure it worked. She went onto her iPhone to “read” my blog, she left a comment and I received the email to inform me that someone has commented on my blog.  Then, I heard nothing back after that blog when I specifically asked people to comment, so I could be sure that it was working. So, either no-one is really interested in leaving comments, or I still have something set wrong in my settings. I guess I’ll have to try again. 

Today felt like I was continuously rushing…I had to rush to get my son to kindergarten on time (we just made it). Then I didn’t realize how quickly the time passed and when I thought it was around two, I discovered that it was almost 3:05 and I should have already been at my daughter’s school, so I had to rush there. Also, from there, to my son’s school. I had hardly any time once we got home before my daughter started bugging me to get going to dance. She hates being late and I get that, but she gets a little pushy and impatient if I’m not stepping out the door when she thinks we should go. (I get frustrated when she knows it all and doesn’t hold back when she thinks that it’s time to go. Also, just a little note to say I’ve only been about 4 or less minutes late once since dance began in September!!) On the way home, I went into Millwoods Town Centre to look for gifts for my good friend Claudia and her girls. We’re going to their place for dinner this weekend, so I knew that I had to get that finished. However, my older daughter wasn’t thrilled that I didn’t come straight home (she often forgets who the parent is). Apparently it’s now my fault that she wouldn’t get as much of her homework finished if she had to “watch” her brother. (It definitely had nothing to do with the fact that she left about 1.5 weeks of homework to the last night…nope, it was all my fault… (She’s done now and ready to hand it in tomorrow morning!!) They’re the final 2 units. Now all she has to do is retake the social 30 diploma exam. Then, she’s enrolled in English 30 (also upgrading). She plans on applying for an arts degree, to start. She has her eyes on a big legal career, which she is definitely smart enough to do. She would need to revamp her entire study habits, and, well, her entire life would change. So, one step at a time. My point was that I still was rushing while shopping, because Tay wanted me home. So, I guess no down time, just bed – which, technically is lying down, so down time kind of works…either way I am exhausted and I’m going to go to bed. Yaaaawn Yaaaawn…night night…😴😴…πŸ’€πŸ’€πŸ’€πŸ’€πŸ’€πŸ’€πŸ’€πŸ’€

They Be Like…

I feel like I have lists and lists of things that I have to get done, which I’m sure most of us do at this time of year. 

So, I’m usually the relaxed girl. A last minute gal’! Easy going! Spur of the moment or last minute plans…sure no problem!!?? Or, in the eyes of the OCD types, just because we’re”chill,” we must also be lazy, last minute, slow, late, unorganized, procrastinators, &, well, you get the idea. (They have more, many more, kind & warm things to say about my type of people, so I just had to cut it off! lol!! You know the type right??)

They be like, “What are you doing tonight?” ME “I don-no” THEM “Would  you like to go to a movie? I have so much free time. I finished all of my Christmas wrapping and preparations for the season in September!! You can never be too early you know??” ME “Uh, ya…right”  THEM (accompanied with a sigh & eye-roll) “You’re not done yet, are you??” ME “But, it’s early December, right? I have lots of time! No rush. It’s nice to take it slow & enjoy the Christmas season.” THEM “How slow is slow?? I have all my baking done, shopping done, gift wrapping done, all my decorations, mailed out cards, and so much more. How do you plan on still doing all of that?” ME “We still have time, lots of time, right?!” THEM “Ahhhh…” ME “Right?!” THEM “No, we only have a week until Christmas!” ME “Huh…What?” THEM “Yes, a week” ME “No way!! Unt-ah” (them nodding their heads)  “For Reals?? AAAH SHIT!!!! THERE’S ONLY ONE WEEK??!!” THEM (sighing accompanied by a head shake) ME (dropping my head between my knees, breathing deeply to avoid having an anxiety attack!) ME Going to bed, to try to control my heart beat & shut off my worrying mind and vowing to start wrapping tomorrow… “Ahh, we still have a week, that’s lots of time, it could be worse, it could be Christmas Eve!!” THEM Walking away…

Yours To Embrace…

Will it hold you down? 

Does it keep you back?

Can you overcome?

Will you get on track?

Does it hold the reins?

Can it count you out?

Are your choices yours?

Does it make you doubt?

Will you persevere?

Can you find your place?

When will you step back in,

To your own power and grace? 

It is truly yours to embrace…

The Big Day!!

The day is finally here.

One of our youngest’s firsts.

His firsts also turn into our lasts, as parents. We won’t be going through it again, because we’re not having any more kiddos. 

Because we’re experiencing first and lasts simultaneously, this day, that has parents everywhere awaiting it, leaves me with a mix of emotions; from sadness & nostalgia, nervousness & trepidation, to excitement & pride, joy & love. I know it’s not the biggest event in the world to many, probably to most, but in my son’s 5 year old life, in kindergarten, they’ve been practicing and practicing – it’s highly important to him. He went over and over things at home. He was ready. 

It is a day filled with frilly dresses, clip-on ties, perfect ringlets & sharp little haircuts.

This day is filled with shy little giggles and loud, confident laughter. You see the outgoing clowning around, as well as heads looking at the ground,  with shuffleling feet and wringing hands. 

My son falls closer to the shy side, no over-the-top goofing around, but he did look up, remember the words and actions. He had fun and did well. 

I love my little man so much and, despite the pain, I went to the school for the big day…for his…

First School Christmas Concert! That’s it! It doesn’t take much to make me feel like we must be doing something right. He’s doing well, all of my kids are. I need to remind myself sometimes that all of my kids are doing just fine. The days when I can’t function seem to make them stronger, which makes me so proud of them. I’m super lucky and thankful for my family. πŸ‘¨β€πŸ‘©β€πŸ‘§β€πŸ‘¦πŸ‘ΈπŸΌ (5 of us, sorry girls, but somebody had to be a princess…or perhaps, even better, the Queen!!! Lol)

Well, I Should Really Go…

Went to my parents house. Was good to see them. A little hard to just visit with mom and dad though… (My kids get excited to see them, so it gets a bit crazy when we see them after some time has passed, which, in turn, makes it difficult to just talk to each other…) I like it when they’re home. I miss them when they’re gone. My kiddos miss them too, which is why they get all riled up and compete for attention when they are here!! (Even my 18 year old – lol!!) 

My face was extremely bad again today. It is making it hard to focus on writing this. I put so much energy appearing to be “okay” that afterwards, when I just want to “relax,”the tension remains and makes things worse. I think that I’m just going to go to bed. I have been trying to get to bed at a better time, I  really need to change my sleep schedule. I know that this isn’t the first time I’ve said that on here. It’s easy enough to say that I need to make some changes, but it’s not as easy to do. Routines are hard to break and my bedtime routine is important to me (I know that probably sounds strange, but it’s true!!) So, since we’re talking about my going too bed earlier, I should really go…

One Day At A Time

I’m so so tired today. It’s my fault, for going to bed so late. I feel like I blinked and two hours went by. I was fiddling around with the website I made. I feel excited about it. It’s a lot of work though and I have to be careful not to overdo it…like I did last night… because I get so immersed in what I’m doing that I easily lose track of time. Then, I’ve set myself up for a bad day or even a few bad days!  So, as my reminder or punishment or perhaps both, I’m super high on the pain chart today😒. It’s just really bad. Of course I always feel worse on the days that we have plans. I feel like, if I’m having a really bad day and I know we have somewhere to go or something we have to do, I stress myself out about it. I worry about hurting someone’s feelings if I have to cancel. I worry about upsetting my family, again, especially the kiddos…well, my hubby too. I worry about how awful I’ll feel later, if I make myself go and attempt to act like I’m okay (people who I’m close to can usually tell when I’m having a rough day!!). I just tend to lose myself in the worries. Starting this new business and trying to find some “me” time isn’t easy. I’ve talked to my hubby about it being “okay” for me to spend time working on this, the kids don’t really get it yet. I think they’re used to me just being there with them and for them all the time, that they don’t understand when I say “no, I’m working.” However, it feels good to have a sense of direction in my life, a way to (finally) use my brain and just do something! And even my girls must admit that I’ve been happier and Ive been more positive and less bla, blech and argh over the past couple of weeks. So, I hope it helps. I just have to remind myself that even a half an hour a day of work is much better than it’s been.  I can just make my own schedule and take it one day at a time!!

Hey all I think I got the likes and camments working. Can you give it a try once you read it  I’d like to be sure it’s working  Thanx!!
