In REAL life...

Lest you should all think that things are always garden parties, sunshine and smiles... what's REALLY been going on... Minnie and I have been sick... sore throats, (well me... she just says yes to whatever I ask usually) bugger faucet out her face, coughing herself awake at naps and lots of whiny, fussy time... In REAL life I still feel sick most days... not all day but at some point most days... I don't think I remember what it feels like to feel "good".

In REAL life it takes everything I have to put one foot in front of the other. I don't know if it is an iron deficiency, just the part where I'm growing another human being, or the fact that I'm chasing a 2 year old. It's the REAL LIFE where it is beyond tired and just feels like I literally canNOT move.


I drop things (like big beefy scissors) and put dents in my hardwood floors, I spend my days calling to order the WRONG contacts for Husband after making myself a NOTE on WHAT side to ORDER and fighting with the insurance company because they are charging a deductible for a REGULAR OFFICE VISIT.

In REAL life we ask this girl to take a "No Thank You Bite" of spinach during a lovely roast chicken dinner that I made for Husband and 3.5 minutes into our dinner she proceeds to yiff up everything from her afternoon snack through the spinach... and then follows it up with... "I no yike the spinach Mom"....quickly following the clean-up of yiff and finally sitting back down to enjoy said dinner that I am reminded I ordered the wrong contacts which apparently was the last straw... that day :) I ended up sitting on the toilet seat crying my eyes out while Minnie hollered from her high chair... "All done the cryin' Mom? Whatcha doin' Mom?"

but in REAL life... today is FRIDAY, it's our LAST "wimming wesson" the sun is shining, without knowing all of the above crazy, CountryMum got me a gift certificate to have my haircut, and I have an AMAZING Husband that picks me up OFF the toliet seat cover and holds me just telling me everything is fine... it will be OK


but MOST important... it is Easter weekend. Jesus died for MY sins and rose again on the 3rd day... I am blessed. That should be my REAL life perspective :)
