Rough Seas, Bring the Paddles

Whole Truth

Things that are rough:

  • The drama of the last few months
  • the money stress
  • the unknown
  • the cycle of the house being clean, dirty, clean, then dirtier
  • kittens again (although kitten time does make me happy)
  • being numb and unclear about next steps

Things that are better:

  • A Kindle 2nd hand, with tons of books on it that I want to read
  • my family, especially right now my brother Jeff and my Mom
  • my flowering relationship with my MIL
  • learning to take steps about asking for help (think Sandra Bullock in 28 Days – “I just need help – RIGHT now”)
  • all the cards on the table and a feeling that I can only go up
  • self care at Sole Therapy ($35/Dollar for an hour massage on foot / body)

Things that need to happen to get back on course

  • a searing and thorough review of my financial situation (I may need reinforcements for this)
  • a system that will allow me not to go crazy and a way to keep the house manageable (I feel animals will have to be removed for this)
  • a culling of the stuff in the house
  • the list of knittering things to be expunged from my head
  • a hobby, something that makes me feel more fulfilled
  • fix the oven so I can bake and cook again (or again for the first time)
  • taking time for myself – Exercise, Dance of Shiva, Meditation
  • find a church, spiritual center to get with
  • Answer the call of my spirit in terms of service

Things that are making my laugh until I cry

OUCH – I did this with my MacBook Air once.

HAHAHAH – the part about the “how did you hear about us” had me laughing for literally 10 minutes. HUGE props to Jeff for making this comic known to me.

State of the Web is also freaking HILARIOUS!!!

  1. Do you know about Hyperbole and a Half? (hyperboleandahalf.blogspot.com) You’ll want to make sure you’ve peed before you start reading.

    Also do you know about Flylady? The tone is a little exhausting but the methodology is undeniably effective. It’s all about making housework manageable, really, and breaking it down in to very small steps.

    Finally, you know I’ll come throw your stuff away, all you have to do is ask.

  2. What ever you need I can and will come help. Just keep talking to us mama-don’t cave out. I know I not only speak for myself but the rest of the tribe. We love you and want to help you anyway you need us to. Just let us know and we are there.
    I love you and wished I lived closer.
    Kisses -Moni
