Panic

Did I tell you it's a crazy week?
  • Chickadee started preschool
  • I am writing during Chickadee's school
  • We're working on a mortgage
  • Hubbend is going to Deutschland
  • I am going to Utah
  • I am pulling my kids out of school so we can go
  • We're going to Big City 3 1/2 hours away
    • TODAY
  • Chickadee is getting a g-tube and this is her consult.
I'm just going to do my best and know that I'm good enough right now. After all, I've got plenty of friends to support me. Friends that make me laugh, and let me know it's okay to cry. (that really is a compliment)

I hope you all are doing great, and bear with me during this crazy week. I am determined though to get back in the groove and lose weight. Even if I don't have a working scale (yet). I am drawing strength from you, and lending you my own support even if I'm not able to get you a typed out one. We can do this. Let's DO THIS THING!!

    Sometimes our cups over flow! I guess this week it is your turn.

    Prayers that all goes well. Once when my kids were little and I had to fly alone quite a bit with them a friend gave me some advice that I never forgot.

    She told me to expect the unexpected when I am traveling alone with kids. Things are just going to happen, all may not go smooth, deal with it as it comes and keep smiling.

    It served me well. I thought about that as I held my infant while holding my hand out for the toddler to vomit in!

It's Here

We got the moving truck rather unexpectedly. It's more expensive than Mr. Survival planned, so we're doing a lot of lifting, cardio, and squats. No. We're not doing the bootcamp in a trailer. We ARE moving things to the new garage, since we can't move in yet, but they're being kind enough to let us dump in a storage manner. Sorry. I'll have to beg your forgiveness and promise to update you. Eventually.

I Found True Happiness

It feels like I've become a detached voice, writing but not feeling on this blog.  I'm living a lot of things that don't fit neatly into my bloggable ownership file. Even now, I've spent an hour with this tab open to write a new post and I've done absolutely everything else possible.  For once I can't put a finger on what I'm feeling.  I don't fit into any definable box. On one hand, I'm spending an hour in therapy with Chickadee and another hour round trip three times a week. Mr. Survival is fighting off unemployment blues. We cannot shake things up and have me go to work. I'm not going to go to FitBloggin'11 . But, on the other hand, Chickadee is STANDING in the stander for minutes instead of seconds! Chickadee is grasping things momentarily for the first time in eighteen months. I'm so in love with Mr. Survival it's unbelievable. We are tighter as a family than we ever have been. I'm stressed and frustrated.  I...

Flying With Concrete

Today I wanted to write about my dreams. Full of hope and bliss and fulfillment. Yeah, I sound about as light as a bucket of cement. Ready to fly away. Hang on, while I toss out the top of the pile. Maybe that will help me find my lofty aspirations. Nope. Thing is, I'm remembering today that I'm afraid of heights. Really. Once Hubbend made me climb up three stories of scaffolding. Broke it all down for me and left me no other choice. Made me feel irreplaceable. Yes, we must remember that I am crazy friends. Leave it to me to feel important by being told to go up a towering structure of death. I did it though. And I even wired a speaker while I was up there. But I'm still afraid of heights. So. Do you wanna help me out today? For every comment that tells me something someone wants to be able to do that they can't do now I will do one minute of exercise. Really. Because of my child care situation, it will have to be tomorrow morning. So have at it. ...
