Lets hope for a better day tomorrow....







Whew....


What a day. What a long, difficult day. Is it almost 5:00???? *sigh

Sometimes I feel like saying "F you" out loud. To everyone. Seriously. I think to myself... If only I could just tell everyone that crosses my path, exactly what I think of them.... but I don't. And, it's probably a good thing. Because, usually.. the feelings pass. Ok, well sometimes.. But you know, I wish I wasn't such a pushover. I am. I wish I wasn't.

*Deep breath

I'm ok. Just a tough day.

I had lunch with Mom. It was very nice. She couldn't talk about the weekend without falling apart, and crying. Good crying. It was very emotional. She is very emotional.. I am too. The apple doesn't fall far from the tree. :)

Something about the weekend. This whole aging process. It's sometimes overwhelming. I have always been one of the "babies" in the family. I still am, to a degree. I sit there and look at all of these faces, of the people in my family.. and I am amazed. So many changes. So many new lines, wrinkles, a few extra pounds, here... there.... less hair, gray hair.. hair in places there was never hair (lol).... and it's amazing to me. This whole process we go through - grow through. The lives, the love, the family I have always been a part of. Where has time gone? How has it gotten away from us so quickly? I can't believe it sometimes. It is very emotional. Hard to think about, at times.
Visits have gone from every few months, to once a year - at best. Sad. And life isn't slowing down. It actually seems like it's moving along faster. And honestly, I struggle with this whole process. It's strange. And right now, I'm not making enough sense to continue with this thought process....

I know what I'm feeling. And thinking. It's just difficult to make sense of it in writing..... for now.

Today I am a Blogging fool~!


This is My Aunt Suzie. :)
She was my idol when I was a little girl. I wanted to be like her, and look like her. She was quite a "girly girl". My Mom wasn't. Mom was & is, a bit more conservative... and me... not so much... (would you have ever guessed?). Anyway.... My Aunt Suzie is so very sweet. She is still beautiful to me. And so precious. :)
It was nice to see her. I just love her so much.

Just Dance...


She's almost 86. He's 79. He's been diagnosed with Alzheimer's... she's taking care of him :)

Do they look like they're letting life get them down?
Nope.......

When all else fails. Just Dance.

:)

It works for them :)

Trying this again......

Happy Monday. Oh, so Happy Monday.



I'm trying to find my happy place...... searching, this morning. Bad morning. :(

I'm trying to turn it around..

So, good Morning. I hope this blog helps me to feel better. I hope who ever is reading it, feels wonderful. I hope that the sun is shining over you, and you're smiling - from ear to ear. It's a lovely day. So much to be grateful for.

I am grateful this morning for:

-Waking up, and having the opportunity to face a new day. A new adventure
-Seeing my little girl this morning, even though she was 1/2 asleep... she's home..
(and my son, although I didn't see him this morning)
-Having this job to come to. Sometimes I forget how far I've come

:)

Happy Monday.

Monday

I hope yours is better than mine.
Thats all I can say right now.
