Keeping it Real

Thank you, Sara, for your inspiration. We each have our days, right? Maybe we shouldn't shout it from the roof-tops, but I'm going to get it off my chest through writing....I'm thinking maybe some of you can relate.

Tonight I'm keeping it real, though I like to think that I'm always keeping it real. I like to focus on the positive, but tonight I'm cutting loose. Buckle up or jump off. I understand it could be MUCH, MUCH worse, but right now it's a bid deal to me. Even if it shouldn't be.

Today was long. I went to work at 7am and didn't get home till 6pm and only saw my computer for 10 minutes total...it was a long day. My family and home SOOO could have benefited from me being home during that time. Although I got quite a bit accomplished, and probably walked at least three miles, I'm tired, cranky, and where my oven attacked my arm last Sunday is really itchy. I just want to pick at the one-inch scab and see what happens.

I have a wart on the bottom of my left foot, in line with my fourth toe, and when I walk, my that toe and pinkie toe go numb. Should I be concerned? That was pretty annoying today, especially because I was on my feet all day. As if I wouldn't be on my feet all day if I were home...maybe I would have at least gotten to lay down with Tanner for nap time. Maybe.

Whining is my specialty right now. Unless you're seeking negative feedback, don't warrant any comments from me. You just might get what you didn't ask for.

I am wanting to start a fabric project right now, but because someone didn't account for my paycheck correctly, and pay me for my holiday on July 3rd, my crafty neurons are just going to have to wait until next week to get their fix. By then, I just might not be motivated enough to start it.

While Ryan took the kids for a walk (bless his heart, because I almost ripped it out), I went to get groceries. I walked out with two gallons of milk, grapes, and four cans of peaches, which really irritated me...why? Because I don't know if I will get to replenish my stock of home-canned peaches that has been non-existent since December of last year. Yea, I ate nearly all of them. They were too good.

I suppose it's a plus that we were able to commission Santa on a Christmas project...aka: we ordered it Friday and it should be in next month so we can store it in our garage for the next four months. What is it? DON'T ASK! IT'S CHRISTMAS! All I can say is, I hope Ryan and I can refrain from setting it up before Christmas Eve. Period.

Speaking of which, I can't keep track of it to save my life. Why does it have to fluctuate so much? TMI? Okay. I'll stop.

Oh Deanna I'm just so happy to have a fellow "whiner" in the world with me!

Okay, I know I shouldn't be laughing, but I am. Only because I just LOVE that you posted the junk of life that we all go through. I guess misery loves company. My favorite part though, was the wart on the foot! LOL!! (And I'm sorry.) I read in a magazine last week the best way to get rid of them is to use Compound W, let it dry, then cover it with duct tape. Repeat a couple of times a day until the wart goes away. (We've been doing it to Alyssa's and it seems to be working). Hang in there lady, you are one of my favorite people on the planet!!

Venting is good every once in awhile. Just as long as it isn't every day and you don't hurt anyone while doing it.

Take long deep breaths, eat two cookies and steal kisses from your kids while they are sleeping. That's good medicine for anyone.

Gotta love days and/or weeks like this. I am a whiner. My poor family and friends probably heard way too much about my breastfeeding woes lately. Oh well. Your last comment made me laugh out loud. Love it.

Isn't venting great? Its nice to know that I'm not the only one with problems!

Wendy said...

Loved the vent! My poor family had a couple of days of Monster Mom -- I was feeling the same way you are. It's the anklebiters that usually get me. I tend to go into Superhero mode on the big stuff.

Anybody know a way to switch those around? LOL

LOL. All I can say is I love you girl and you are not alone so you let it all out honey because it makes me feel good to know that even perfect people like yourself have crappy moments/days! p.s. (I love the part where you bless Ryan's heart cause you almost ripped it out. HaHa)
