cuz i could use a day like THIS :
as you could tell from the friggin way this began-with the mysterious underlining.
phew. i thought we were gonna have to deal with that thru the whole post.
and knowing me? that could be anywhere from one minute-- to eternity. ugh.
so. thank God we were spared that agony.
anyhow. do you mind if i bitch? surely ya saw it comin sooner or later right? i haven't done too bad lately, have i? so, it's time. right? anyhow. i don't have a lot of bitchin to do. i've just been busy. every stinkin day. i know. that happens on occasion. but really i am in dire need of a sloth day. lately those days are just as hard on me as the really busy ones though. so i don't know what do to. i haven't found a happy medium yet. you know, a day that i can do 'just enough' to be satisfied with what i accomplish -- but not overdo it to where i am so exhausted that i can't be sociable with the family. or be in so much pain i spend the rest of the day and night in bed-- which causes even more stupid pain. it's just like everything else. 'feast or famine.' all or nuthin'. rich or poor. weak or strong. happy or sad. nice or bitchy. 'come here- go away. '
it's always one extreme or the next with me. and i am just beginning to wonder why that IS.
physically, mentally, emotionally, and even 'health-wise'. it's either one end of the pendulum or the other. the only balance there is - is when it swings passed and waves.
someone tell me why that is. ok?
anyhow-- can ya tell, i'm just tiahd. i need some time off. every day is constant. if it's not runnin around out of the house -- it's runnin around inside the house. and y'all know tax time is comin up. how fun fun fun that is gonna be. i have receipts in five different places. maybe six. and i try so very hard to be organized. i used to be. but really-- we have moved, three times in almost as many years-- and that does not one good thing for organization. lemmee tell ya. ugh.
oh.. yesterday. (well, day before yesterday--- soulkid informs us that in her theater class- they were doin 'somethin'. i couldn't explain it if i tried. but somehow - the kid behind her, fell, causing her to fall, then his weight went on her knee. )
-- so. isn't that just peachy? she had pain, and obvious bruising and swelling. so yesterday i kept her home and took her to the dr. (or vice versa -- whichever). turns out it's nuthing major-- phew!. a kid that age kinda needs good knees eh? they checked her out, went ahead and x-rayd it -- not thinkin they needed to -- but i felt better. so they did. soft tissue and tendon 'damage'.. minor. she will be fine after a few days of motrin and rest (light duty basically). the stairs are a problem. not much she can do about it here-- but when i called the school, they said she could get an elevator pass-- which should help a lot-- so she's not rushing up and down stairs between classes ten times a day. (if she's not too embarrassed to use it).
i also got a referral to a pediatric ortho doc for her to be seen for an old injury to her hip. i have worried about that darn hip for YEARS. it happened when she was like 2 or 3 in day-care. back in the day i could actually work still. my last job in fact.
anyhow-- we went to pick her up one evening, and the lady there had us sign a -accident report- we were fairly young (mid-20's) then, and she was our "1st' kid. we really didn't think much about it. she fell off the monkey bars earlier in the day. she 'looked ' ok. it had been hours since it happened. she wasn't crying. we thought

she was ok. however, she did have a pretty significant limp for several weeks. but she didn't complain of pain. so we didn't worry too much. (she had a large vocabulary for her age-- we were sure that if she was in pain , she would let us know).
anyhow-- we both were working-- but also weren't doin to well on funds... so we didn't rush her to the dr. or make a big deal about it. but like i said... all these years -- we have been concerned of the -- or any -- long term effects of a chronic injury like that. just a few weeks ago i asked her-- just thinkin about it--and out of the blue-- 'does your hip ever bother you? she knew the one i was talkin about ... so she said -- it doesn't hurt but watch this. so she stands up-- and POPS her hip. loud! only the one that was hurt does that.
so. yep i asked the doc to x-ray it-- but he referred me to a pediatric otho doc to have a look. same as me-- he's lookin 5-10 years down the road. this could be a problem. and if it is-- you do realize how guilty i am gonna feel. don't you?
anyhow-- she's gonna go to school today. she's fine with some motrin.
as for my day today?
still another busy one-- but i think i can do most of my stuff from home-- aloooooone.
at least i think so. it's COLD outside-- and i do not wanna be runnin around like the past few days- i do have a few things to do out there but not a lot. most is paperwork and christmas cards-- that i have been attempting to get to for four days. but that has taken over a week just to get my address book updated -- and i still aint all the way done with that. but-- i am further along than i was a few days ago.
anyhow-- i better get this party started around here-
hope y'all have happy days in your worlds today-
things haven't been too bad around here-- i really am tryin to un-grinch myself. i have even done some shopping!!!! GO ME!

Just take a day off Soul...who is there to tell you not to. The joys of being your own boss eh?
I hope Soul kid's hip is ok. It certainly sounds like she has a dicky hip if she can pop it like that. I know it's useless to say it but you have nothing to feel guilty about. If it had been hurting you would have known about it I'm sure.
Oh, I bet that Did hurt! And her poor hip too...
Just shut the door...turn off the lights...and close your eyes...Better??Hahaa...good luck!
hughugs
Its a full moon and this one, this time, seems to be affecting me. Tears are quick to come for no reason. Sometimes being female just purely sucks. Wow, I hope soul-kid's hip is ok. Try and not feel guilty (I know....I know...easier said than done)...if you look up "mother" in the dictionary, it surely must say "guilty". Hope your day is productive, soul-friend. Hugs, Charlotte xo
Hey, LBF, take the day. It'll be to your advantage in the long run. A fresh cuppa, a light lunch, and down time is the best treatment.
Poor soulkid. Christmas and an injured knee. I hope she uses the elevator pass. When my kids were in school an elevator pass was something to treasure. Times change though.
Have a good day and DO take that break. Love and hugs to you.
