11:11 – Make A Wish!!

So, I’m writing this at 11:11 which is the best time of the day! If you glance at he clock and it’s 11:11 you get to make a wish! It’s the only time when you will see 4 of the same numbers on he clock, unless you use a 24 hour clock, then you have 22:22, which is divisible by 11. My son has come up with the idea that you can get more wishes if you see 11:11 on more than one clock! So, when he sees that it’s 11:11, he will attempt to look at as many digital clocks as possible, my phone, the iPads, the dock, the alarm-clock, the pvr, etc. I never really thought about how many digital clocks we have around the house until he started doing this. I mean seriously, he can end up with a lot of wishes!! However, he is starting to question the whole “wish” thing, because none of his wishes come true. If you think about what 5 year old boys (or all 5 year olds) wish for, well, it’s not all that surprising that the wishes aren’t instantly granted. (& kids truly believe in these kinds of things, fairy tales, Disney movies, transformers…) So, when the 5 year old wakes up and Spider-Man isn’t joining them at the table for breakfast, well… They’re thinking what the hell is wrong with the whole wish thing anyway? (Perhaps not in those words – lol!) So then it’s time to question the whole process…Did they not say it loud enough or maybe they shouldn’t have said it out loud at all or maybe the clock changed just as he was closing his eyes, so it doesn’t count or maybe Spider-Man was super busy because some major crime occurred because the Green Goblin broke out of jail, again…(I really think that the prisons need to amp up the security measures or something, because these bad guys just never stay locked up. Also, they never die, like ever! And, even when they do “die” there is always some incredible twist and/or explosion and/or radioactive chemical that miraculously revives them. Just like all of these guys, good & bad, seem to get their powers after some sort of radioactive chemicals, with or without an explosion, usually with! I mean, seriously, these “secret laboratories” really need to look into there safety measures. The accidents just keep happening over and over…) Well, happy wishing!

Bad Day

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.

Emerge From The Night

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 💤😴💤😴💤😴💤

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

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

Honey and cupcakes sweeten the strain

Headaches and face pain sear on my smile

Depression and loss scar me with style
