So…We’re at the lake, outside playing badminton, having lots of fun (my pain Dr would be so proud – lol). Well, Daisy found something absolutely AWFUL!!! Just ew!!! So, impromptu dog bath at the cabin. And, yes, she sleeps in our room; usually at the end of the bed when we’re at the cabin!!! Not tonight Daisy, not tonight!!!

To help with research and treatment for Trigeminal Neuralgia please go to http://www.tnnme.com (Trigeminal Neuralgia and Me) to sign a petition to have the World Health Organization (WHO) add Trigeminal Neuralgia (TN) to their “Health Topic List.

Words. Small but powerful.

Meanings can be skewed.

Feelings can be hurt.

We’re you intentionally rude?

Words. Convey joy or hope,

Or an expression of love.

They can fill your heart.

We may even fit like a glove.

Words. What will they reveal?

Will they bring sadness or joy?

Maybe love or faith or frustration?

So please watch which words you employ!

No Taylor Swift For Us…

Spent a long time trying to get my daughter tickets to see Taylor Swift tonight. But, didn’t luck out. They were either stupid, ridiculous expensive or a really great deal that was grabbed up on the spot. So, no tickets for us. I find it crazy how much some people will spend on concert tickets! Seriously! Some of the tickets for “vip” were over $750 per person…over!! The entire system is super annoying! As soon as the tickets are released on ticketmaster, etc., they seem to get sold immediately. You can be waiting on your computer for the exact time tickets are released and within minutes, they’re instantly sold-out. A whole bunch of outside ticket companies buy them up instantly with computer programs…so maddening!! Then, the majority of every day buyers have to purchase their tickets from places like stubhub for so so much more money!!!(not intending to bash just one company. It’s just the first one that came to mind! One we used for Pearl Jam. Nickleback, Selena Gomez & Pink…to name a few!!) It’s just so darn frustrating. It makes it so hard to purchase tickets for a reasonable price! And that’s all I have for tonight!! Off to bed.

My Mind Is Blank

Not sure what to write about today

My mind is blank on what to say

Tired, bla and blank in the brain

So many reasons to complain

Just feel there’s so much left to do

Honestly I’m just feeling blue

Clutter is found most everywhere

The toll gradually just starts to wear

Time to stop and plainly see

The good that is surrounding me

Just do a little day by day

And live life in a brand new way

Hopefully one day I’ll get it right, or at least have fun, while about it I write!!

Nice 😍

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??

Worry, Worry, Worry!!!

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!!!
