The Owls in my home

It's Not Me! It's You!

You know... sometimes I worry about my thought process and my empathy level.  Am I too hard on people, do I take what I have for granted?  I mean I know not everyone has it as good as me or is as blessed.  Right?  But then I realized, if I am surrounded by happy people that have their shit together, I'm all shits and giggles.  Pink candy and unicorns!   It's the people that are sore at life that seem to bring my beast out.   She is my alter ego,  Tabitha.  See, It's not that I don't have empathy or care for my fellow humans... It's that I can't do stupid.  Those people drive me nuts!  I can't see past the BS.  I also believe you make your own bed with the choices you make.  So, instead of me feeling like I should be more supportive I will just sip this wine and blog.

Ready for Life Again

We are still in the middle of this pandemic. It has been crazy. Oklahoma has open back up now and a lot of people are still in an uproar about having to go to work. I get that people are still afraid I do not necessarily want to be out and catch this bug... neither but I, also want there to be a life for my grandchildren and for me when I retire.
The best thing we can do is take precautions. Wash hands, limit our social life, pay attention to those around us, and stay in when you don’t need to go out. Some people think that because we did a shut in that the virus was just going to miraculously disappear and that was not the case.  The idea behind staying home was so we could slow it so that the hospitals and the medical staff were able to help us when/if we do contract the virus. My hope is that the heat from the summer will suppress it like it does for the flu.   Hopefully will be able to get back to somewhat of a normal life this summer and hopefully they will come up with a vaccine or an effective treatment so when it starts around again in the fall we are better prepared

My kids live some place else

For some reason, that I can't not make sense of, when my kids where little I knew they would grow up.  I thought about when they got bigger, but I never realized they would get bigger and move on with their lives.  It's sad sometimes at my house when it's just me and Dennis padding around trying to keep busy and me doing the same things I use to do... Clean house, grocery shop, organize a closet.  Now I'm not stopping ever so often to asnswer a phone call for a teenager or having to step over thier lastes school projects.  But the reality hits when one graduates and actually moves out of the house!  You think,, where ya going?  And then they reply with,  to build my own life!  Ugh, It's a sad thing to raise them just to leave. I enjoyed being a mom and wish I would have realized that it really doesn't last forever.
