Today was a strange day. Well, not necessarily strange, it just kind of felt like there was no day. It was a blink & it’s over kind of day. I guess it just went by super fast. Then my hubby came home and we all went to The Minions movie (not sure if that’s the exact title, but that probably doesn’t matter!) The movie was filled with good fun & laughs & a really great soundtrack, which was unexpected! I love these kind of movies, that kind of appeals to everyone (mostly anyway. I really did enjoy the movie, but on the way there I was saying to my hubby that I’m kind of “Minioned out!!” As cute & funny as they are, I am getting a little sick of seeing them popping up everywhere I go!!) Anyway, as I was starting to say, the movie appealed to a large audience. These film makers have sure figured out how to draw people in. It’s not completely through the kids though, much effort is used to grab adults, mostly parents, attention. Because, if the parent/parents/grandparents/etc., are interested in the movie, they are more likely to get the family together and go. Appealing to the parents also helps bring in viewers, if the parents are somewhat interested or intrigued by the movie and then their children ask and ask and ask and ask and ask and ask…well, you get the picture (especially if you’re a parent!!) You’re more likely to take them to the show if you’re a bit interested too. And, wow quite the ramble! My long and drawn out point is that we all enjoyed this movie. And, in case you don’t know, I have 3 kids. One who recently turned 5. Our daughter, in the middle, is about to turn 13. And, finally, our oldest just graduated and will be 18 in a few weeks! (Seriously strange & scary…). So, adding my hubby & I into this, we are a family of five, with a large age range in our kids. This movie was enjoyable for each of us, we all had fun. It is often difficult to get everyone to agree on a movie and for all of us enjoy it!!

Just For Me

Sometimes I stress myself out about these posts! I feel like I need to come up with something to write about. I almost feel guilty when I have a bla day, followed by a bla day, on top of another bla day. I start to feel guilty for writing, yet again, about how shitty I feel that day. Or I write about no accomplishing much, etc. I find myself worrying more about what “the reader” may get out of reading this, rather than what I earn from writing. This conflicts with the whole reason I started writing this. I needed to commit myself to something. Something that I do for myself on a daily basis. I needed to show myself that I can still follow through and that I am worthy enough to spend a bit of time doing something for myself. I really needed to remind myself that I am more than a sick person. I am still in here, sometimes buried beneath my pain, but still here. I decided to write this to find a way out. To show that I’m more than my pain. I wrote this just for me.

Bed time bed time, it’s so late! Today was a bit of a blur. It’s one of those days that feels busy, but when you look back on it, you didn’t do much. Dishes, vacuuming, etc. we’re done today, sometimes none of those even happen! My hubby came home, for about 30minutes and then left again for a football game. So I didn’t actually get to see him or talk much to him. He’s exhausted from working 16hour days for a week. I’m just exhausted from housework…

I have to take my migraine meds and go to bed. The light on my iPad is hurting me. Sorry. Not the most fascinating post ever, but I have to stop because it’s difficult to focus.

ARGH!!!

Super super worn out right now. Went to South Common with the kids, plus one (my oldest’s bff). Shopping tires me! And it’s hard with a 5 year old boy, he loses patience very quickly and it didn’t help that his tummy was bugging him. I am feeling just over-the-top sleepy. I’m feel like I could fall asleep on the spot. I’m also feeling super stressed & upset about a few things. But, I won’t make the mistake of getting into details on here. Im feeling too angry and annoyed. I I know that if I get into it I will likely end up saying things that are better off unspoken, at least through this medium. Yesterday’s post came from the same topics…All that I will say is ARGH!!!!

In other news, I’m happy that my hubby comes home tomorrow. It’s been poopy without him here, I just don’t like it. It opens my eyes to how much he does for me, or rather, for us. I’m also wanting his hug. I lean on him for so much. I sure don’t like him working out of town. Strange how much I depend on him. When I was younger I always thought that when I grew up I would be independent, able to take care of myself and not rely only on a man. At least the man I ended up depending on loves me and our kids and will do anything for us. I’m so thankful for him!

What Do You Believe

Do you believe in karma

Do you believe in fate

Do you think there are consequences

For all of your mistakes

Do you feel accountable

For all you say or do

Are you ready to stand up

For all you believe is true

Do things happen for a reason

Is there a lesson to be learned

Are our blessings blindly given

Or are they something to be earned

Do You Ever Stop To Question Why

Do you ever stop to question why

Or take a moment to watch a butterfly

Do you notice the people that you pass

Or the range of colours in a blade of grass

Do you draw dragons with your son

Or take the time to just have fun

Do you breathe in deeply after it rains

Or notice ripples in water as it drains

Do you pause to see every little thing

You never know what life may bring

I Hope For Something New

Today is a slow lazy day. A day slowly slipping away. I managed to get nothing done. I haven’t talked to anyone. I have no ambition and I just feel low. The days just tick by painfully slow. There’s nothing changed or new. It’s just another day to get through. Sometimes up and sometimes down. Always going to bed with a frown. Then I’ll lie awake in bed, thinking of what I should’ve done or said. A war rages through my mind and to myself I’m most unkind. Finally I’ll drift off to sleep, sleep temporarily brings relief. Then tomorrow when I get out of bed, facing the new day ahead. I hope for something new, with less pain to live through.

Laid-Back Missing Hubby Day

Today was a delightedly lazy nothing day. That may sound strange, but it’s been so busy and go go go that it was nice to have a relaxed laid-back day. I have this ever-growing to-do list, but I didn’t want to do anything today. I’m just too tired and overdone. An absolutely nothing day was definitely called for !! I have been missing Arizona though (so I guess here was one thing I was thinking about – so my brain did function a tiny bit!). He is out of town for the week, again. It’s so strange having him away from home. I know that many people are used to having their significant other work out of town. However, I’m really not used to it at all & I don’t particularly enjoy it. It’s just strange. When you’re with someone for years and generally see them daily, it is very noticeable when they aren’t around. There’s just an empty space where he should be. It doesn’t help that it’s been three weeks in a row; he was gone for a week, then I was out of town for a week and now he’s not here. I’m missing him.

Girls Night!!!

Well, as you can see, it is super super late night now! My girls and I just got back from the One Direction concert. Despite some rain, it was a really good concert and so much fun to go with my girls! There were so so many people there! The stadium wasn’t completely full, but it was pretty darn close!! I think I parked in one of the dumbest places. I mean, the spot I found was actually pretty lucky. It was only a couple blocks from the stadium and it was free. The problem was after the concert. It was so so busy and I was one of the few who parked legally! Cars were half on half off the sidewalks or, even worse, partially on people’s lawns. So, as expected, it took a long time to escape the traffic and idiot drivers!! It also didn’t help that K-Days was doing their end of the day fireworks, so people were everywhere! Super frustrating. Then, when I finally freed us from the traffic, the girls were hungry. So I took them to a 24hr McDonalds. Well the guy ahead of us must not have spoken English or something, because we waited for over thirty minutes! And I’m not even exaggerating! It was one of those two lane drive thru’s. The people in the lane next to us went about 6 vehicles in before we finally could order and then continue to wait. It was painfully slow!! Then by the time we got home it was close to 1:00am!! I felt bad for being so so late because our babysitter didn’t expect it to be so late!! Frankly, neither did we!! I’m going to bed with my ears still ringing!!!

Long Long Drive Again

‼️‼️Home again. Home again. Jiggity jog‼️‼️

I’m so so tired right now. All day today I felt super super exhausted. My eyelids were so overly heavy. It seemed impossible to open my eyes. I spent the majority of the drive half asleep, sometimes fully out of it asleep, which is not normal for me. I generally dose off a bit, but don’t fully fall asleep. I also worry about making sure Arizona’s awake and alert. If I’m awake and talking with him, he won’t get sleepy. Well, that’s what I think, he always says that he’s fine and I should get some rest. So I took complete advantage of it and actually slept. I am still tired though. It’s just from being out of town on a small holiday. You tend to do and see more than normally and my body has a tendency to buck-up for a bit, but then crash, hard and heavy! But now I get to sleep in my own bed. 👏🏼😃YAY😃👏🏼 And that’s what I’m going to do…right now!

Oh, BTW Momma, Quackers is here, along with my eye mask, by book light, an ice pad fuzzy cover thingy & the ice pack that’s from you. The one where you just fill it with the ice cubes. You know how we always put that kind of stuff in our pillowcases? Well I did that (which explains why I vividly remembered putting Quackers & the other things in the pillowcase. ), I just put them into he wrong pillowcase. Tee Hee! Oops!
