I watched the movie Before I Fall today. Well, I don’t want to spoil it in case you watch it, so all that I’ll say is, what a sad ending. Hopefully that doesn’t ruin it for anyone. It’s not like saying,”This is the song when she dies!” When I was younger I accidentally said this when listening to a soundtrack from a movie. My mom and dad hadn’t yet seen it and I said that to them. Needless to say, it kind of gave away an important part of the movie. Oops!! It was an accident! It’s funny, the things that you remember…

Today was weird. It was another tired day. But that’s nothing new! We slept in by accident! Not good when your daughter has a PAT test first thing in the morning!! Oops again! I even heard my alarm go off, I just somehow drowned it out. She came running into my room around 8:25 saying she just woke up and we all slept in and that woke us up! We usually leave the house around 8:15 to drive her to school. She made it just in time for her test, which wasn’t until 9:00, but she was frazzled and hungry, which isn’t the best way to be feeling at the start of a test!  Generally, she’s an early riser. She hates being late, passionately! She doesn’t like the feeling of being rushed. She usually gets up with plenary of time to spare. Well, this morning wasn’t anything like that…

My oldest and I are hooked on the show Pretty Little Liars. I think maybe I already talked about this. I’m hooked! I wasn’t sure if I was going to be.  It may not be the typical show I watch, but it’s managed to suck me in!!

I’m heading to bed now. Night all! 💤😴

Sorry I was so out of it yesterday. I don’t know why I was so darn tired. I couldn’t keep my eyes open to save my life! I was just gone and it wasn’t even that late. I don’t really remember what I wrote , but I do remember trying to force myself to focus and just being unable to do it! I don’t feel quite that tired yet. Who knows, things change quickly…

Something is wrong with the heel on my left foot. It hurts when I walk on it or put any kind of pressure on it at all. It’s weird. It’s right in the middle of my heel and sometimes I get up and almost fall over it hurts so much!  I didn’t actually do anything to it, it just started hurting the other day. It seems to be getting worse. I have a dr’s appointment on Tuesday for my yearly physical and Pap test (fun fun…) so I’ll just ask her about it while I’m there if it’s still bothering me. Hopefully whatever it is goes away on its own, but if not, I’ll just tell her about it and see what she thinks. It’s weird because I didn’t actually do anything. Just sitting here right now I feel my pulse throbbing in that heel, weird…

I met a lady today at Windermere to pick up a bathing suit from her. She was selling it online. She ordered it from the states, but it didn’t fit her. It’s brand new, it still has the tags and that sticker thingy on the crotch (what a weird word…) So I know it’s new. I really like it. The bottoms are shorts, instead of the regular type of bottoms and the top is navy blue and whit striped across the chest, with a shot of red just under the chest, then the rest is navy. It’s cute! Although, I’m not a fan of bathing suits…at all!! I’ve always hated wearing them and I’ve been super self conscious when wearing them. That’s why I like that it’s shorts. It covers a bit more than regular bottoms. 

After picking up the bathing suit, we went to Winners. I love that store! There’s a bit of everything and it’s usually nice, good quality stuff!  I bought myself a pair of sporty capris and I bought my younger daughter some black leggings with a pretty criss cross and mesh design down the sides of the calves. I also bought her a little “bralett” and eyebrow makeup. They have such affordable prices for makeup there. I also found a bathing suit for my oldest. As soon as I saw it I knew it was just what she kept telling me she was looking for. A navy and white striped bikini. Every time we’re in a store with any kind of bathing suits, that’s what she’s looking for! So as soon as I saw it I knew she’d love it! (And she did!!)   

Shit! Here comes the sleeps- I just fell asleep and deleted part of my post! Crap crap crap! So frustrating! I bought my son a fidget cube today. He really wanted one!  I didn’t do much after that. Watched my show. Had supper, my oldest ordered Chinese food for supper for everyone. After eating, we watched tv and my son and I did a French word search together. That’s my day. Night all! 💤😴

Well, I totally lost track of what day it was and missed my WW meeting tonight. Oops! I hate when my brain doesn’t work right! I think with our break from dance, we aren’t as on top of what day of the week it is. Our time is usually booked with driving her and we have to book other things around her dance. So, it’s weird, but I forgot tonight, but probably wouldn’t have if dance wasn’t finished. Oh well! It’s not like the world will end because I missed a meeting. I found a diet that will work with the WW program. It’s a program that decreases overall inflammation, which I apparently think have a lot of. With all of my lists of problems associated with those who have high inflammation, like fibromyalgia, headaches/migraines, & obesity. The diet cuts out one thing that upsets me and that is cheese, well dairy, but mainly for myself that means cheese. The only dairy I won’t get rid of is the 2tbsp’s of cream that I put in my coffee. I can’t even imagine coffee without cream, blech! However. I can still track the same way, eat most of the same foods, I just have to increase my intake of fruits and veggies, which I needed to do anyway. I have always wanted to try an anti-inflammatory diet. So, here goes!! Hopefully it’s not too difficult to stick to. I know that no cheese will be hard! But, you never know until you try right?! It may be the one adjustment that I need. 
My oldest and I started watching it all Pretty Little Liars. It’s okay, you get addicted to the story, the who did it? Who’s A? All kinds of unanswered questions keep you coming back. My younger daughter has already watched all of the six seasons. Sometimes she sits with us and makes comments about what’s going on, since she knows what’s going to happen. We try to get her to spill the beans, but we don’t actually want her to. We’ll catch up soon enough. We’re not exactly slow. If we get into a show, we tend to have a marathon Netflix night. Oops ‼️I just fell asleep, twice! I guess that this will be a short post. Since I can’t seem to keep my damn eyes open, I’m just guy turtle-ha h! I’m just guy turtle makes so much bloody sense! That’s the typo being left in there, because it’s funny. This isn’t working! I can’t keep my eyes open at all. I’m going to get going. Because I cant type a thing without blowing it! I’m extremely tired!!! Ug!  Night all! 💤😴

This morning we had yoga

I enjoyed it a lot

We did it outside in the sunshine 

It was nice and hot

It’s a very peaceful practice 

But it also invigorates you

I think that’s why I like it

And my daughter does too

My tummy still feels nauseous 

I really wish it’d stop

It’s been going on forever

It’s getting over the top

My son went to his friend’s house 

After school today 

He has fun when they’re together

They really love to play

They’ve been friends since he was born

They used to live next door

They’ve played since they were little

And now he just wants more

My daughter has a final tomorrow

I hope she does okay

This is a makeup test she’s doing

Because she was away

They had it when she was sick

She said it won’t be easy

She gets a bit of test anxiety 

Hopefully it’s breezy

Goodness my tummy feels sick

It’s time to go to bed

I’m just so tired of feeling like this

I’m going to rest my head

Oh my goodness does my tummy ever hurt! I don’t know what the hell is wrong with it. I started feeling gassy st my parent’s house, then it seemed to pass. Then just as we were getting ready to leave I started getting sharp pains. Bad ones! Sharp and stabbing pain. It hasn’t stopped and hurts so badly that I could barely read a story to my son and my oldest gave him his bath for me. Oh man it hurts. I’m lying here with a heating pad clutched to my tummy trying not to cry. Ouch! What the bleep is wrong with my tummy. I really hope that this isn’t the stabbing pains my daughter was feeling before/while she was throwing up. This is probably going to be a super short post, because I just feel so so crappy! 

Today was Father’s Day. We went to Home Hardware to buy a gift for my dad (Grandad). We ended up with some glasses that can be used for outdoor drinks at their BC house. They have kids and straws, so that’ll keep the bugs out! No one enjoys attracting wasps to their drinks!! We also bought a tape measure on a keychain – as Dad is always here, asking where ours is. Now he can have one with him on a key chain. We got him cracked hands lotion for his sure dry hands and a new deck of cards, because the one we’ve been playing with a weird huge numbered deck at my parent’s and my dad kept saying it was the only ine they had. They probably have better ones in BC.  My poor hubby. He said not to spend any money on him! So I didn’t! He got his homemade gift from our son, or rather, school made, it was a birdhouse. My oldest bought him a couple things from Indigo, so I guess he got a couple things, just nothing from me. He said, “if I need something I pretty much buy it for myself. There’s really nothing I need…” So,I didn’t get him anything other than a card! Sorry love. Careful for what you wish for! 

Oh bleep!! My bleeping tummy bleeping hurts! I have to try to sleep! Night all! 💤😴

The fireworks for Beaumont Days are going off right now. Both of my dogs are growling and barking. I’m afraid that they’re going to wake everyone up! My younger daughter is at the fireworks right now, with a big group of friends from school. I may be getting a call when the fireworks are done to go pick her up. My oldest daughter, my son and my hubby are all sleeping. They have to get up early for work, to be there at 4am – well, not my son, obviously!! Just my daughter and hubby! Happy Father’s Day- get your butt up stupid early and go to work!! When they get home tomorrow, we’re going to my mom and dad’s. they’ve been home for over a week and we haven’t seen them yet! 

This morning was the parade. We always sit in the same place, just down the street, across the street on the ring road. We usually sit with our old neighbors, Crandell and her family. When the firefighters arrive (in the parade) we’re always ready for them with a wagon full of water balloons and a bunch of filled up water guns. I usually wuss out and step back a bit, but my hubby, the kids and Crandell (who did all of the water balloons last night) go to town and get into a huge water fight with the fire fighters. They come with balloons and water on their backs and they’re usually ready for us!! It’s so much fun for the kids (& adults, lol). This year so much of the parade seemed to be advertising…which I guess it usually is, there just seemed to be more of it this year. A lot of Plain vehicles, and less floats than normally, also there wasn’t one marching band!! Weird! There were a few horses, like usual. The main thing is that the kids had lots of fun! My son ended up with a huge grocery bag full of candy that was handed out/thrown during the parade! (No phone call yet and I think that the fireworks just ended…)

My darn tummy still felt horrendous today!! So, I missed out on a fun filled day…After the parade, my hubby and the kids went to the fairgrounds. They went on rides and a zip-line and had mini-donuts and a bunch of other stuff. Lucky me, I stayed home sleeping, wishing I felt better!!  Oh well, what can you do. At least my family had a good day. It sucks, missing out, but I can’t always control how I feel and, trust me, this isn’t exactly a new lesson for me!!  (Oh! My hubby’s phone is ringing…gotta run and get my daughter!)

I’m back! She forgot that she was supposed to call me. She was starving, so we decided to run to the McDonald’s drive thru, since it’s actually open still and it’s fast. Well, that wasn’t fast! It took forever. Apparently we weren’t the only ones with that idea. I don’t think McDonald’s is used to it being busy at this time. They certainly didn’t seem ready for 20 or more cars to show up at the drive-thru all at once! Anyway, I finally got her some food and made it home. I’m going to head for bed now. I’m tired, even though I slept most of the day…weird that I still feel tired! Hopefully I feel better tomorrow!! We’re going to my parent’s house and I won’t be able to sleep for most of the day!! So, I need to get as much rest as possible. So, for now, I’m going to head off to bed!! Night all! 💤😴

The Beaumont Blues Fest is going on right now. I have my window open, because it’s hot in my room and I can hear the music from the festival playing. I felt bad for them earlier this evening, because it was pouring and I was thinking about them, outside, trying to run their music festival. But, now it’s no longer raining and it’s calm and quiet and peaceful, perfect weather for a music festival. I hope that people stuck it out, so that they’re still there now, enjoying the music. I know how hard they work to put this festival together. The guy that runs it is the dad of one of my daughter’s best friends. He works on Blues Fest stuff all year to put it together. So, I hope that he’s blessed with nice weather!!

My stupid tummy was still nauseous today. I’m getting a bit sick and tired of feeling this way. This morning, despite how I was feeling, I went to the pool and watched my son’s swimming lessons. He’s been taking swimming with his school and today was his last lesson. He really wanted me to come watch him, to see all he had learned. He wanted me to write it down in my thing tonight. So here I am, doing just that. He can do a front and back float, a front and back glide, he can jump into the deep end from a diving block, with a life jacket on. Okay. I forgot what else he said to write down, but you get the picture. He’s gotten comfortable in the water and can now do some basic things. I should probably continue with lessons, through the summer, now that he’s comfortable. Although, I have no clue how much it will cost. We’re broke right now…what else is new?? 

After his swimming I went to the grocery store, then came home.  My hubby and I watched the movie called Bad Moms. It was pretty funny. I’ve seen better, but I’ve also seen worse. There were some good moments, especially when talking about parenting and the goof ups they’ve made. I liked when she talked about being a bad mom, but also being okay with that. She knew that most of us are…we all make mistakes, no one’s perfect and mom’s are the ones who are trying to pull it altogether.   Not just pull it together, but keep it that way. Make sure things get done everyone is at their activities, homework’s done, food is on the table, etc… Mistakes are inevitable, the question isn’t if you’re going to make one, it’s when and what. Anyway, it looked at being a mom. Especially those mom that judge you from your screwups!! It’s like they throw you under the bus and laugh at you for being there!!  Anyway, it’s what I watched this afternoon with my hubby. 

Afterwards, I had a nap, my tum wasn’t great. I stayed in bed for much longer than I intended! It was close to 7:00 when we, my younger daughter and I  went to the store. We needed things for supper. We didn’t end up eating until close to 8:00. We watched the new Power Rangers movie.   

Well, I’m going to cut myself off right here. I’m starting to do the sleep/delete thing that I hate!! And I don’t want to lose this!! Night all! 💤😴

Today was a bit better than yesterday and the day before. I ate fairly normally. I didn’t have diarrhea. My tummy still had nauseous moments, off and on, but that was it. I still didn’t really do that much though. It was an awfully lazy day. My dad came over and put a new lock on our patio doors. It hasn’t locked for some time now and has been really bothering me. I remember, as a little kid, asking my mom and dad if the doors were locked at bedtime. I don’t know why, I just always felt/feel way better when I know all of the doors have been locked. It’s even worse when my hubby is out of town and it’s just the kids and I here. It would make me crazy. I would lock the screen, even though that’s hardly secure!! Now I can rest better, knowing that it locks. My hubby always says, “locks only keep honest people out!”  But, I don’t know if I necessarily believe that. If a drunk person or kids screwing around, or even just a petty thief tries a door and finds it locked, it may just be enough to deter him/her from trying to get in. So, whether or not it makes me naive, I feel relieved lying in bed knowing that ALL of my doors are locked! Also, there have recently been a bunch of break-ins in Beaumont. The thief got into one of the houses through an open window. Imagine how easy an unlocked door would be!! What a horrible violation that would be! To come home and find someone has been through your stuff!! You would feel so, so,  I don’t know a better word than violated!! 

I watched that newer Netflix show, with Drew Barrymore, called The Santa Clarita Diet.(I’m not certain I spelled that correctly!!) It was pretty funny!! Drew Barrymore plays the mom, who becomes “undead”. As in, a zombie mom. Except she’s totally high functioning and doesn’t look any different – not like your typical zombies all blood and gore and yucky stuff! She seems perfectly normal, except for the fact that she eats humans…It’s not something that I’d typically watch, however, it was surprisingly hilarious!! I’m a huge Drew Barrymore fan, which is why I watched it in the first place. It was really funny. There were places where it was like laugh out loud funny! I really enjoyed it!!

Okay. I feel nauseas again and I’m starting to do that damn falling asleep thing. I really don’t want to delete this post, so I’m going to go to sleep now. Night all! 💤😴

My tummy’s alive, with the sound of gurgles 

With churns it has had for a thousand hours

My tummy rebels, with the sound of gurgles

My bod’ wants release, from the sounds it hears 

My bod’ wants relief, from the sickness it feels

That rise from my gut to my throat

My bod’ wants to sigh, like it feels okay

From the top to the bottom 

To be free of the nausea, that trips and falls over

Gas on its way

To sleep through the night, like a babe who is learning how to

I blame my belly, when my bod’ is hurting

I know I will hear, what I heard before 

My bod’ will be cursed, with the sound of gurgles

And it’ll churn once more…

JKC

To be sung to The Sound Of Music…

[The hills are alive with the sound of music

With songs they have sung for a thousand years

The hills fill my heart with the sound of music

My heart wants to sing every song it hears

My heart wants to beat like the wings of the birds

That rise from the lake to the trees

My heart wants to sigh like a chime that flies

From a church on a breeze

To laugh like a brook when it trips and falls over

Stones on its way

To sing through the night like a lark who is learning to pray

I go to the hills when my heart is lonely

I know I will hear what I’ve heard before

My heart will be blessed with the sound of music

And I’ll sing once more

Today was a blechy day! (I’m thinking blechy isn’t actually a word…but I’m sure that you know what I mean!)  I woke up to an upset tummy and diarrhea (just what you wanted to know!) I didn’t end up throwing up, thankfully, but I had an upset tummy all day! I spent the morning out of it on the couch, until my oldest woke up and sent me to bed. She said I looked like crap and was falling asleep sitting up. So, the afternoon was spent sleeping. I woke up here and there, but, for the most part, I ended up sleeping all day! I was disappointed, because I had plans to go for a walk with Jo and Stinie, two of my oldest friends. We’ve been friends since grade school and it’s been a while since I’ve seen either of them. I usually at least see Jo more often, but it’s been a while. So mad that I felt crappy on the day we made plans. Not much I could do about it though. I had to cancel. I felt/feel awful. 

I forced myself to get out of bed around 5:00 (my oldest picked her siblings up from school for me!) I was still feeling bad, but I didn’t want to miss my WW meeting tonight. Well, at least not the weigh-in. Problem is, I was looking forward to the scale,  because at home I was down by three pounds. However, on the scale at that meeting I was up by 0.4lbs. I was so upset! What a disappointment. I know I’ve been pretty good and I wasn’t worried at all. I was just wearing shorts and a t-shirt, so I don’t think it was my clothes. I’m just going to try not to think about it and keep being careful and tracking everything! Hopefully the difference shows up on their scale next week. It’s super frustrating though. 

I ate a bit when I got home and then watched last weeks episode of The Bachelorette with my girls. I never thought I’d get into these shows, but my younger daughter wanted me to watch The Bachelor with her and I ended up enjoying it – although we think he picked the wrong girl in the end.  However, the girl who was the third from the last to leave on The Bachelor is now The Bachelorette. She’s super pretty and really smart. She seems put together. So, this show I never thought I’d enjoy has sucked me in. Now I want her to find love and happiness. It’s funny how you get drawn into her story and her life and how you suddenly care about what happens to her and who she’s going to end up with. Too weird. I seriously never took the show seriously before, although I’d never watched it. Now it’s like I can’t wait for the next episode. Funny. 

Well, I’m still not feeling great. Even though I slept all day, I’m still tired! So I’m going to hit the hay! Hopefully there aren’t as many mistakes on today’s post. I skimmed through yesterday’s, because I couldn’t even remember what I wrote I was so tired. I found all sorts of errors!! Sorry. Night all! 💤😴
