I had a rather pain filled, nothing day. One of those days that both drags on and is over in a flash; if that makes any sense…not quite sure if it does. I feel like I didn’t get anything done. Shoot! I even forgot to phone my mom back!! I’m sorry, but I seem to have mush for a brain. I get so frustrated with myself on days like this. When the pain is bad, everything else starts to fall away. Then, I only get the bare my minimum done: my kids get to and back from school, they somehow get food and I am there for any kind of emergency…but it feels like most of me is somewhere else. Inside my head trying not to make it obvious how bad it is. Remembering to smile and, I don’t know, just be there. I could say more, but I’m at the breaking point right now. The place where I can no longer pretend I’m okay. So, I’m going to bed. Fingers crossed for a better night and day tomorrow.

She prays for his shadow to emerge from the night

To wake up and find him step into the light

A dream or a nightmare she’s no longer sure

The smiles and the tears come together in a blur

Anxiously awaiting the words she must hear

Denying the existence of her escalating fear

She yearns for his voice, for his touch, for his heart

She grasps for the pieces as it all comes apart

A Sunshiny Day

Today is a beautiful, clear, sunny day

A day for some fun and a day for play

Today is full of adventure and delight

A day when the sun shines into the night

Today is alive with laughter and screams

Filled with children playing out their dreams

Today is meant for family and friends

A sunshiny day that you hope never ends

Is it “then” or “than”???

Hi folks. I hope nobody was sitting on the edge of their seat waiting with anticipation for tonight’s post. Because, I’m sorry to say, today is not much better than yesterday. Well, I made it to drop my son off at playschool and I went to the grocery store. So, I did a little bit more then yesterday (okay, I’m sorry, but I think I keep on mixing up my use of the words “than” and “then” and it’s driving me batty!! I used to be on the ball with my grammar, I grew up with a mom who was exceptionality good at almost anything “english” related. Yet, I now find myself making silly mistakes. Mistakes that I rarely would have made in my high school & university years. Very frustrating indeed! Especially when it is about something simple…) As I was saying, I did a bit more today, but, for the most part, I sat on the couch feeling poopy! I intended to write something earlier and get to bed at a good time, but here I am, still awake at 11:30…so so stupid!!! More then (or than???) anything, I should be resting. Knowing that not enough sleep is a direct trigger to pain, you’d think that I would make it a habit to get my arse into bed early. Still, more often than (then??) not, I find myself scrambling to finish my posts late at night. So, I’ve gotten into a very good habit of actually writing on a daily basis, now I have to work on getting my writing finished earlier during the day. That way, I wouldn’t feel so panicked to write something and end up staying up too late to do so. This was intended to be therapeutic, not something to increase stress. Nope, that wasn’t the plan…night night 💤😴💤😴💤😴💤

Thankful Thursday’s

I know I get negative in some of my posts. I’m trying to hold back from that. And here comes that word that usually follows this kind of sentence “BUT”… So, here I go. I’m trying to hold back from that, BUT I’m sick today. Just blech blech blech! I think it’s kind of a flu bug. My point is that I am going to bed now, after doing next to nothing all day. I basically made it from the bed to the couch, and now I’m going back to the bed. Therefore, tonight I don’t have much to offer…but, in an effort to force myself to be more positive, I have decreed that from this day forward, (on my blog only, unfortunately I don’t have that much power over the rest of the world – lol!!) that Thursday’s will now be “thankful Thursday’s”. Doing so will force me to find the positive in life! So, today I am very, very, very thankful for my husband. I’m keeping it just like that. I could easily list all of the reasons why, but I need to lie down right now!

Life has countless lessons to teach to you

Obstacles that you must work your way through

Sometimes obvious, sometimes a surprise

Behind all that you go through, a moral lies

Do you ever find yourself in the same circumstance

Feeling like you’re always dancing the same dance

That’s life’s funny little way of forcing you to

Delve deeper into things and work them through!

Busy Day Of Bla

I had a pretty bla-ish day today. For most of the day my little man and I had an “upstairs day”. We haven’t had one in a while. It was nice to just sit and play and goof around. Things have seemed to be busy these days. Not that I feel like I do all that much. Or it doesn’t feel like I do, but the time seems to fly by. I find it’s bedtime and it feels like I just got up. I know that I do get exhausted easily. So, a lot for me isn’t necessarily a lot for most people. If that makes sense! I just feel like I have piles of things to go through. So many things that end up on my “to do” list just seem to stay there. Things went downhill once I went to get the girls from school. Just a bad bad pain day today. Dual-sided pain too! I’ve also had a bad headache going on for too many days. I have to get my pain cream on my face and take some meds. My son’s going on an end of the year playschool field trip to Fort Edmonton Park tomorrow and I need to get some rest. If I feel better than today, I will go with him. If not, well, then I won’t! I didn’t tell him I’m coming because I didn’t want to get him excited and then end up feeling crappy and have to explain that I can’t come. Instead of committing, I told his teacher that I’d play it by ear. So, off to bed for me. Night night💤

A Terrible Assault

Do you have those voices that reside inside your head

Those many tangled ramblings like to fill my mind dread

They criticize and argue; tell me yes and tell me no

They judge and shame me, try to tell me where to go

Sometimes it feels like chaos is exploding in my brain

“You shouldn’t this”, “you could’ve that”, it’s driving me insane

It seems no matter what I do my mind will find some fault

These penalizing voices wage a terrible assault

Sunshine and butterflies dance on my pain

Honey and cupcakes sweeten the strain

Headaches and face pain sear on my smile

Depression and loss scar me with style

The End Of Dance For The Year!!!

The final dance show of the year is tonight! 👯The last competition, the “grand championships” that was scheduled for late June has been cancelled. Apparently they didn’t have enough dance studios register for the championship and, well, I’m rather happy about it! No more extra biweekly practices until June! Hip hip hooray!! This gives my daughter and her limo company (aka my hubby and I) some down time. My daughter dances five days a week and sometimes more than once a day. She really enjoys dancing, but it tends to take over her life. I think she’s also relieved she’ll no longer, have to rush around, get her hair done, inhale her supper, make sure she has the right dance shoes, tights, etc. It’s just a lot and when you’re in grade 7, you want some time for yourself and to be with your friends, to just be a kid! Also, the dates would have been a real pain! My daughter leaves for her school trip to Quebec, Montreal and Ottawa on the 22 of June and the finals for dance were supposed to be on June 20 & 21. So, yes, that would have been a pain in the butt, instead of packing and getting ready for her trip, we would have been driving to Red Deer for dance. I am really happy that isn’t going to be happening now! So, we go to the final “performing showcase” tonight (she is already there, makeup and hair done because the dress rehearsal is all afternoon and the show is this evening.) I do love watching her dance, not just her actually, there are some amazing dancers and I enjoy watching them all. However, yes, after tonight she is done for the year and I am quite relieved, definitely ready for it!! I don’t know what next year will bring with dance. I know she wants to be given the opportunity to attend competitions and she isn’t offered that with her current dance school. (Well, other than hip hop, but that was due to the new teacher not knowing how this dance studio chooses the kids who compete; a whole other conversation I’m not getting into right now!!) I told my daughter that we’re going to wait until she receives her “report card” before making any decisions about next year. She’s says that she’d like to go to a different studio, where the parents can decide whether or not to register as a recreational dancer or a competitive one. The problem is that changing studios would mean having to drive her to dance in Edmonton, which would be a real pain in the butt! However, I see her confidence slipping away, in the way she carries herself, her expression, her posture and, well, I just see it. This hurts my heart so so much!! But, no decisions have to be made right away. Once she gets her report card and we see what she has been recommended to take next year, we will have to look at the pros and cons and make some decisions!! Until then, I just need to not worry about it. I just want her to be happy. To feel appreciated by her teachers, not rejected by them; which is how she feels…🙍🏼
