Better Than Butter


Hello, wonderful people!

I'm feeling better.  Not the kind of crazy better that my friends conscious of the bipolar swing would worry about.  No.  I'm feeling better.  As in I missed my exercise yesterday, and I'm okay with it better.

As in, I desperately wanted to my blog needed updating and my internet wasn't working.  I was okay with it.  No freaking? It's epic.  I eventually cleaned up the house, and I've had two showers in two days.

Chickadee now has an assigned parent every night.  Mr. Survival and I are dragging our knuckles every other day, but at least it's not us tag teaming and being out of commission every day.  I feel better about that too.

And?  My house is still gorgeous, beautiful, and peaceful.  Even though it is becoming clear it is more demanding.  Somehow, I don't mind.  Hopefully this will continue indefinitely.

Finally, in this random list of tangents, Chickadee is able to vent without my undivided attention.  Thank goodness for safety pins, hair bands, and creative parent forums.  Whew.

I've exercised, and I'm hoping [very loosely] to get some leaves raked.  I'm still loving that.  I know, I'm weird.

    Sounds like a good day:) Except for the leave raking part. Are you going to build a big pile and jump into it with reckless abandon?

    I love days when things start feeling like they are falling into place. Hope it continues. :)

    Here's to feeling better...wouldn't it be great if you could bottle it up and save it for another time when you need it?

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.

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. ...

Hippity Hop

I hope it doesn't matter that it's been a week or so since my post on her...but I do have a fabulous special needs daughter.   THIS   and   THAT   are my most recent musings on Special Needs parenting. I'm not sure what I think about either one. It's about being out in public.   Thanks to Sunday at Adventures in Extreme Parenthood   I can handle this blog hop on a week as crazy as this.  I'm excited to visit all these excellent blogs. Stay tuned next week though, for updates on Chickadee's G-tube surgery, moving and The Beast and it's sugar-free diet.  Thanks for playing along at home. I really couldn't do it without you all. Oh, and visit my Facebook Page to see how my weigh-in went this week for GAG.   **I just figured out that  Super Mommy to the Rescue  and Autism Learning Felt  are the sponsoring blogs.  Please follow them if you link up!
