My Lately

I feel like I have nothing profound to say, no diabolical plans, no huge news, just life. However, I have recently decided that ya know 9:45 p.m. is the time to release all emotional crap I have been hanging onto for the month, week, day, minute. Yup, lately about 9:45 p.m. as I lay my sweet head onto my pillow and tuck my babies in to bed I just cry. I cry because I'm tired. I cry because I'm stressed. I cry because I'm overwhelmed with house, work, life, dogs! I cry because I am laying alone and the house makes creepy noises and I am too chicken-butt to do much, and come on if someone really broke in I would: a) hear the door; b) the dogs would go crazy; and c) I could be doomed anyway because my windows are painted shut!

Lately, all I want is a bagel and cream cheese for breakfast. Yup, you heard it, that is all that sounds remotely good to me, but lordy, we all know that won;t do a thing for the crying other than  make it worse cause now I'm sporting a bagel around my midsection. But I let myself have one every other day now and then.

Lately, I have wanted to just escape. I want to be in a different time zone, setting, state of mind. I want to go to a zen place. A place where there is nothing to do but think about my next meal.

Lately, I have missed the cascade of flowers that used to adorn my windowsill at work. Ya know  back when men sent me flowers for just about any reason if they thought it would get my attention. I admit I don;t want the hoard of men, just the pretty petals that brightened my day.

Lately, I have been a less than stellar puppy mom.I get home and feed them, but I have little desire to play tug-o-war or pet them endlessly while watching TV. Nope, I just want them to play nice and then sleep so mommy can rest.

Lately, I have been easily annoyed by anyone and anything. Let's call it perpetual PMS. Its been harder to bite my tongue and easier to roll my eyes. I know, I know... I need to keep it in check.

Lately, I have been dying for sun on my face and a tan on my shoulders.

How have you been lately?

  2. I feel like everyone is kind of in a slump right now... it is okay to cry if you need to, and know things will turn around. :) You are doing an awesome job!

    Side note: Creepy noises at night scare me to no end too! You are definitely not the only one there, sister. :)

  3. I think we all go through these slumps every once in a while. Where nothing seems quite right, and life just seems harder than it should be. Hoping that things brighten up for you soon, sweet friend! Spring starts tomorrow, so maybe the start of a new season will bring some fresh and positive changes for you:)

    PS: I had a donut for breakfast, so you are doing way better than me with breakfast choices;)

  4. I have a bag of hostess mini powdered cinnamon donuts and i'm shoving my face while typing this.
    I couldnt take it anymore last Friday and took a half day vacation because i just needed a break. I had lunch with my cousin and then we also went to antique stores. Slumps are normal- hang in there and stay in prayer.

  5. Can I just send you a big hug?? I've definitely gone through times like this, and it's ok to let it out, but don't let yourself get bogged down by the annoying stuff. You have a lot of great things going on around you and people who love you and care about you. It isn't all bad, even if it feels that way.
    I love a good bagel in the morning too! (be thankful you dont work in a school where there are tasty treats around all the time...my will power has been testing lately! haha) Lots of hug and love your way!
