WEEKLY REARVIEW MIRROR 2

Last week's rearview mirror revealed...
 

• Octomom still freaks me out.
• If I don’t write it down or put it in my iPhone calendar, I WILL forget it.
• It’s probable my son loves Minecraft more than me.
• I sure wish my “to-do” list would turn into a “ta-dah” list.
• Losing most of my contacts when my iPhone died may have been a blessing in disguise.
• Trying to brush Shelby’s hair is like trying to play darts with feathers. In a hurricane.
• Hurting someone with the truth is still better than hurting them with a lie. I’ll always stand by that one.
• Trying to motivate Ben to keep his room clean on his own is like trying to convince a cat to be on the swim team.
• It would really do me a little justice if stress burned calories.
• Taking a shower used to be relaxing. Now it’s just a race in order to move on to the next thing on my list.
• My kids have outgrown their clothes for the 58th time this year.
• I’ve been taken advantage of by a “friend” for the last time (she said for the 100^th time).
• I’m VERY much looking forward to my boxing class tonight so I can beat something up!

FESTUS REMEMBERED

No words necessary other than you were very loved and are immensely missed. It's not the same without you...

WEEKLY REARVIEW MIRROR

I used to do this and just kinda got off track. I really liked writing about the quirkier moments of the week, so I'm bringing it back to life! Here goes.


Last week's rearview mirror revealed...

• My daughter is smarter than she knew. I knew this. She's just figuring it out.
• My son's days of not studying and getting A's are over. He does not like this.
• Dictionary Usage should be a class in-and-of-itself by 6th grade. At least.
• The most wonderful dog I've known since my own will be leaving us next week to go to her furever home. Love you, Rosie.
• The laundry in my home multiplies like rabbits on Gonal-F.
• Only a few of you will get the above-reference.
• Life can be quite peaceful when you limit the number of idiots allowed within your inner-circle.
• You really should eliminate all of the idiots within your inner circle.
• An iPhone 4 can die multiple times. In one night. And the next day.
• You can get a new iPhone 4s and 2 years of Apple Care gratis, if you know the right peeps.
• My allergies are worse than the Dallas Cowboys.
• You can't make people see their priorities are so out of whack they're damaging future relationships. And hitting them over the head until they do see it is illegal, so... done.
• You actually can teach an old dog new tricks. I being the 'old dog'.
• People, even your friends, will take advantage of you. Yes...I'm a sucker.
• Trying to reason with my overly-tired 9-year-old daughter is as productive as arguing with a drunk on acid while learning Rapper's Delight.
• If I make a sandwich, it's blah. If someone else makes it, it's a 5-star meal.
• Somedays I'm the only one in the house who remembers the top of the kitchen counter isn't in fact the dishwasher.

 

 

  

THE FORECAST IS GOOD

And once the storm is over, you won't remember how you made it through, how you managed to survive. You won't even be sure, in fact, whether the storm is really over. But one thing is certain...when you come out of the storm, you won't be the same person who walked in.


Changed? Definitely.

For the better? Yes.

Happy? Absolutely.

Storm over? It never is. But like waves in the ocean, it's up-and-down. And now...now the forecast is better than it's been in a very, long time.

Here's to storms. And the beautiful rainbows that appear afterward.
