Listening, slowing down

Slowing down is the "it" thing with me right now. I realized my brain says go, go, go but my body says "what the hell are we doing moving" after I attempt the things my brain said we were going to do. I want Ceylor in after school activities, Ruby in after school activities, Jill/Panda to MOMMY program, my laundry done, oh.....and my stomach to quit hurting.

Then reality sets in and I get off work and go home. Sit down, and then have to lay down, with barely more than that possible to do. I want this to be over. This is my reliance on God time. He is the one running the show and instead of figuring everything out, it's time to ask for HELP.

I am tired EVERYDAY. I want to take Ruby on a one on one trip, but I need her to drive so I can recline the seat and not sit up....but is that realistic with a new driver, she would say YES I'm sure.

Just tired........

Art

I think its time to get the paint out. Having health issues has made me remember the awesome things in life I used to do. Here is a sampling..........

Hope its not a midlife crisis

I was given a gift certificate to get salon services at Beauty Brands. I thought about it a long time. I almost got a perm. I knew I wanted bangs again, but when I left the shop, I also had purple highlights in my hair. These weren't subtle-underneath-in-the-back kind of highlights either. These were violet bright-on-the-top of my head and through my bangs PURPLE. I like it. My daughter asked me if I knew how old I was and that it is something only teenagers do. Oh well. I falls out in about 2 months.

I am still healing. It is not something that happens overnight at all.
