So Ready!

We are getting things started for the pool today!  I'm so excited to see it laid out!  Ready! Ready! and SO READY!  Expect I don't want them to tear up my yard!  For some reason that thought makes me sad.  It's just grass... but still, we have made memories playing and running and hunting eggs.  I know we will continue to make memories, even better ones... I'm so ready!!!

Too Many Balls!

So, I have decided I must have been a Jester in a past life. 

Goofy shoes, goofy hat.... Seriously, it's the only thing that explains my crazy ass!  This would explain my clumsy feet, weird nature and the constant need  to make a fool of myself.  None of this, however, explains why I trip in the exact same spot every day in the hall way going to my office.

However, I thought a jester knew how to juggle shit without missing a beat.  They throw balls, plates or hatchets on fire or whatever it is they juggle up into the air and then catch them again with a smile on their face!   No effort! 

At any rate, here I am, a clown like creature with a funky hat on and shoes twice the size on my feet, juggling problems, ideas, issues, relationships, projects, staff, work, covid, who is REALLY the next President of the USA... the list is endless these days, and none of it comes back down!  Where they hell did they go?  Are they just staying up there mocking me while I am waiting for them all to crash to the ground.  

They want to screw my day up!

I'm so tired of juggling.  No matter how well I get at juggling, someone ads ONE MORE problem!  

I am stressed to the max with a smile on my face.  It's my own fault.  I am an over achiever and a dreamer.  And unapologetic about neither.  Add a pinch of vanity and you have a jester juggling life I suppose.  

The real fear is, one of the things I am juggling is going to knock into another one  mid air, and before you know it, it will be raining mayhem for days.   

YOLO- So, Achieve Some of your Dreams!

Last Christmas I remembering laying in bed thinking how nice it would be to have a Christmas tree in my bedroom. Soft lights and pretty decorations... relaxing!  We spend time in our room and it’s nice not having to give up time with a tree when you have only a few weeks to enjoy it.  

This year I made it happen.  Now that’s not a big feet, as 6” Christmas trees are not overly expensive.  But the point is, I achieved that small goal because i planned for it and made concessions for it. 

It’s how everything should be.  Big or small.  If you want something...especially something within your power with little to no effort,  make it happen! This will give you practice for the bigger things!

 

Lazy Parenting for the Win!

For the love of Pete!!!!!! Get your kids off the electronics!!!

Someone has to say it! This includes constant tv watching!! Who cares if you worked all day! They are worth your time!!! Wait until they are at least 10 before you expect them to self entertain, ruin their eyes and vegetate their brain!!!

They need to play outside and get exercise and fresh air!! Maybe have some fun playing with their parents! Pull them around in the laundry basket... play outside. Teach them a card or board game! Read a book! I can’t even with some of these Christmas gift ideas I have seen for ages 2 and up!

Kids are going to end up lazy and socially awkward not to mention they are going to end up fat!
