Wondering why my boss is keeping a list of the colors of tops I have worn this week. Yesterday afternoon I was collecting papers from her office to file and noticed the list on her desk. I didn't think anything of it at the time but when I was doing the same thing this afternoon I noticed that the list had grown to include yesterday and today. It now reads: Mon - red, Tues - blue, Wed - blue, Thurs - green.
Go figure... |

Vacation #1 this month. Starts tomorrow. This is just a "mini" one to spend some time with one of my favorite 4 year-olds. Vacation #2 is later this month, and much more of an adventure. And I'm in serious need of R&R given my job lately.

my daughter is being a selfish bad little girl who is refusing to allow her mother to have a life. She is doing a full fledged 3 year old temper tantrum and is threatening to cut me out of her life again if I dont do what she tells me to do.
That worked BR. (Before Relapse) I am working a good program now and I have nothing to feel guilty about and I am not letting anyone take control nor abuse me, especially my daughter. If she walks, its her choice. Tough love. Things I can control, things I cant. Shorter version? Fuck it.... |

I'm thinking it's #2. :| |

Can't sleep tonight. Going to the pain doc tomorrow with my daughter driving me. We have some serious things to discuss and I am nervous. Her son recently posted on FB that he is suicidal; he came out to me in Feb. Lots of mommy love and support for her tomorrow. Luckily he is now in counseling and on anti-depressants. He is 16. |

I'd expect something like this from my previous employer, aka "She Who Knows No Boundaries." I wish my Mom was alive so I could talk to her about this. My Dad is useless for this stuff and I just don't want to discuss it with my stepmother. (((((katsarecool))))) Hope your pain has eased this morning and that you got some sleep. Sending you healing and peace - for your daughter and her son as well. |

Thinking about yesterday...
It was the annual "Candy Crawl" in downtown Concord. (From 3-5 the merchants hand out candy to trick or treaters.) It was a blast! We dressed the dog as a clown - with hat and ruffled collar...he looked soooooo adorable and, once again, was the most photographed dog of the day. I was sportin' my purple Carol Channing wig, rhinestone cat glasses and tiger print top. (Why am I always dressed like this when introduced to Judges?) Since my boss was wearing an "I Voted" sticker we declared her costume to be "Early Voter"...seriously scary! :giggle: This year we handed out 10 huge bags of candy - you know the ginormous ones they sell at Sam's. The kids in their costumes were fabulous. There were some incredible homemade costumes and entire families in costume too. There were also pets in costume...mostly dogs. My personal favourite was Ollie the Ferret who was dressed in a little red devil cape. We're one of the popular stops along the crawl for 3 reasons: awesome candy, the dog and my boss - she adores kids of all ages as well as the event and it shows. I hurt from head to toe this morning. Standing for 2 hours makes my back howl but it was so worth it. |
last holidays
today during our walk, my old girl fell. Her back legs gave out on her. She sat there, suprised, confused...then anxiety hit. I knelt down beside her. Smiled into those cloudy eyes that search for me every time her head raises up. I calmly told her it was alright, she just needed a rest. My hands never stopped soothing her. She was then satisfied, always reassured by my voice, my touch. When we tried again, she was able to lift. And up she came, pensive at first. I am glad she cannot clearly see my face. I have done this before. We are so close to the end. My last girl like her made it to Thanksgiving. I hold out with her, not wanting to let her go until she is ready. I actually have been waiting for this...for her frail body to catch up to her frail mind. When she signals me that Now she is ready, we will go together and say good bye. But for this day, she indicated she wanted a bit more walk, slower. So we slowed it way down. I will never forget this fall day, the rustling of the leaves across the road. The grey of the clouds and the spattering of halloween on yards as I and my black and white took one of the few walks we have left.
Tomorrow she will hand out candy with me. She loves loves loves children and I am so grateful she has this holiday left for her. When she is snoring in our house, next to me, she will remember how they smelled, their laughter, how their tiny hands touched her. no better life could we have had, than the one we shared together... |
It has been one of those days...didn't start out great, but someone sent me a HUGE smile in the mail and it made the rest of the day go better.
I am reading a great book, and I am sure hoping that by the time I get done with it, I can somehow make some good changes and start doing what is best for me....not anyone else. I am sitting at home tonight because I made plans with someone that I knew would end up standing me up. Why do I do such things? I could have been at a halloween party with some really fun people but chose to wait...yet again....to spend time with someone that only makes me their option. I will learn one of these days. I will.:blink: |
Life is too short and beautiful to focus on the petty, the hatred, the quarrelsome and irksome.
I am, I love and I will embrace that joy, compassion and wisdom which is. |
