True Friendship

So, instead of bothering to babble about what I've been doing for the past 6 odd months - let's just focus on today.

Today - day 5 of this crazy, flatten me flat on my back, achy body, swelling throat - nasty wicked cold...yep just a cold. Which for those who don't have a medical degree means - you don't get to take squat from a dr. - cuz you don't have a temp!

So, 4 days ago I became best friends with my friends.

Friend> Dictionary defines this as:

1.

a person attached to another by feelings of affection or personal regard.
2.
a person who gives assistance; patron; supporter

-now mind you they are in now way person(s) - but these guys truely got my back...not individually but all together, they hold hands, and carry me - ahhh.

Patience, Mom, remember?

It was bound to happen - when what you teach your child, comes back and slaps you so hard across the head you are dumbfounded that it could possibly coming from your child...the same child that can't remember yesterdays events:) lol

My dear son has been going to the "older kids" wed services for awhile now:) and about 90% of the time when you ask him what he has learned - he answers "stuff about Jesus or God".....:)
Oh no, not this past Wed....it was Patience.

and he went on to tell me all the ins and outs about it...i was sitting there beaming that he finally took it in - grasped it - learned from it:)

Not 24 hours later - as I'm on my way somewhere and certain ppl in the road are just making me want to SCREAM at them....and then someone backs right up in to me...but didn't quite touch the bumper...yeah i wanted to scream then too...what did my wonderful son say...

"Patience, Mom, remember?"

zippin through the past....

what fun this bloggin thing is...zippin through my past blogs....i should blog more often, i have a fun little odd family > someone should take note of the "chaos" and document it....

Peace? what peace?

I did mention I would have peace right?....what was i thinking?? lol
A is now pushing 9 mo -Nine months ppl...there is anything but peace! And it's sad I don't even have time to pic up the camera and use it - much less sit there and upload pics....hello!?!

I'm in that mood lately of wanting more for me and us - but having no energy to do it...this summer is flying by and i'm letting it....why am i not doing fun stuff with my kids? museums, zoo, parks, anything really!...but alas i haven't....kinda makes me depressed....i have such dreams and desires and no actual movement toward that.....hmmm i should work on that.

Peace

A is almost 5 mo old...and i'm feeling it's about time I get my life back.
>this week i start scrapping again and I'm hoping to start a blog on that
>this week i start watching my eating and movement...i have some "physical" goals for this spring
>i also want to start taking "random" pics every couple of days...i love looking at everyone elses - and i'd like to "improve" this in my life.
>i also would love to get moving on a garden...i started a month too late last year with my seeds, i already ordered my catalogs, they arrived now i need to sit with them and peruse through them and get some plans layed out.

hopefully a week from now, i'll still be at Peace.

Hopscotch

N has this fascination with Hopscotch(s). She lugs all her books out of her room....which I have spent weekly (cuz this really is a weekly event) putting away - by height, cuz I'm anal that way......

she then makes a row from her room, down the hallway, into the living room, around the living room, back behind the couch, to the door, around the doorway area, back to connect it to the hallway.....and then proceeds to walk/jump on it for about 3 min.

but it stays there all day --- incase she just happens to get the notion, to "jump" again.

{sigh}.....and I'm having a 3rd?

9 days left

Finally a change in "pressure" there's a storm brewing outside -- is today the day?

I'm having contractions finally, good ones -- is today the day?

I have the "knife" pain - again no matter the position -- is today the day?

DOUBTFUL

absolutely doubtful

ah to be a big, huge, waddling, can stand longer than 5 min - kind of gal.....well at least my legs are shaved.....there's an improvement.
