Today’s Three Positive Things

1 – I survived it. LOL. It’s been a long day.  But overall a good one.

2 – Mumble made me the COOLEST drawing at school 😀 It now resides in pride of place on my wall.  *proud*

3 – Mumble had a fantastic time playing out with her new buddies from across the road, and I got to share some epic fun time with my little dude.  It’s still terrifying but I’m doing a lot less handwringing and pacing.  Little man helped distract me with Jean-Claude Van Damme and “Chrucks“!  (I do not think I’m EVER going to get bored of this phase 😛 ) As for my girl growing up, playing out, I’ll get there.  She’s already way “grown-upper” than I’d prefer her to be.  Silly old Ma is the one who needs to catch up 😛

4 – Lots of hugs and cuddles before bedtime… even got voluntary kisses off my little man! :O  My kids are so awesome.  <3<3<3

5 – Managed to add a couple of more historical blog posts.  Feel free to check them out…. betcha can’t find them all 😉 😛 One day I’ll be all caught up.  In the meantime, much of what you need to know is already here, and the rest is following, soon.

6 – I have rediscovered my huge love of nostepinning and have found my boredom from the inability to move at more than a glacial pace quieted by this beautiful, monotonous, repetetive and mindlessly relaxing activity… all the while adding to my neatly wound stash of yarn balls. Yum.

For what seemed like a fairly craptastic day, I’m doing pretty well with the numbers aren’t I?!.  Yay me.

It’s been one of those pain filled days where everything, be it physical, emotional, verbal or any other kind of contact feels like a grievous, harmful assault. My skin hurts, my bones hurt, my flesh hurts.  Even my eyelashes hurt. Even a move in slightly the wrong manner or direction has brought a yelp or several  of agony.  Short of having horse tranquillisers, not much seems to be working but I will persevere, and I WILL win. 

I’m NOT going to be beaten by pain. Nope, not me.  The pain can just go and kick rocks.  So there.

I’m NOT going to let it get in the way of me enjoying my awesome little family.  I shall soon be jumping in muddy puddles with the little people, you just see if I don’t.  Because what else am I going to do with my super epic wellies?? Peppa Pig will envy our muddy-puddle jumping. Yes.

My pain will NOT fuel my depression.  Depression can go and kick rocks too.  *Blows a raspberry*

Tonight I rest and tomorrow I make something pretty.  Or ridiculous.  Or both.  I shall share with you all when I am done.  Or maybe half way through.  I don’t know, I’m too tired to think.  Rest well, dear friends.  Sweet dreams. xx
