all around you - newest print - $20.00One minute it's June...the next I'm staring August in the face and telling him to BACK AWAY SLOWLY AND NO ONE GETS HURT.
Obviously, August has a mind of his own and is refusing to go back...and here we are...waiting for Autumn to arrive.
I'm actually happy about it.
These last few months I have had just about enough stress, sadness and weirdness to last me a lifetime.
Don't believe me?
Well, fine.
I will make a handy dandy list for you to scan (or read) at your convenience.
Feel free to pity me slightly or send flowers.
I take hugs as well.
And in no particular order...5 things that have happened lately.
1. My very favorite cat Mika got very sick after the move into the new house and we had to put him to sleep. Now, I know you aren't supposed to have favorite pets or favorite children...or favorite anything- but seriously. Mika was the best. I miss him everyday and wish so badly things could have been different. I hand fed him through a dropper for three weeks...but I still wonder every morning if I could have done something more. We blow kisses into the sky and I still find myself expecting to see him around the corner.
little mela - our newest addition2. Because Mika was a huge part of our lives and the other 2 cats missed him... My mini partner in crime and I (that would be my 2 year old) went to the pet store. Maybe it was out of sadness...maybe out of craziness...I don't know. But I brought a kitty home. We promptly agreed that her name would be "Mela" after...well, you know, Studio Mela. (Creative, I know) It is well understood by everyone that enters my home- MELA IS INSANE. She has a screw loose inside that head of hers. Sometimes it's cute and sometimes? Sometimes I want to haul her back the store and demand a turtle instead.
3. I had a weird mole removed from my leg. Sounds easy? Well, it hurt really bad and I didn't have anyone with me to hold my hand...and I have a huge hole in my leg by my knee. Oh but don't worry, my son is letting me borrow his Batman Band-Aids. I mean, I have to admit everytime I look down at the Batmobile I get a little smile. It's the healing gift that keeps on giving.
4. My husband went to the ER for a numb feeling in his arm. (he's fine, thank God) Ten days later I went to the ER for a weird fainting blood pressure thing (i'm fine too!) a month after that my little boy has a hernia pop out of nowhere and slaps me across the face. He has to have surgery. Soon too, possibly next week. The mom inside of me is freaking out! I have no idea how to handle the stress I'm feeling. So I've been eating like everything I see. I ate a handful of stale i've-been-sitting-out-all-day-and-night-popcorn. Im not ashamed. But it does bring me to the next number...
5. I purchased Jillians 30 Shred Dvd thing. Heard of it? Yes, this dvd will change your life and make you fabulous. And yes, it's going to kick my butt into tomorrow and I probably will not be able to walk...or type...or anything...so Im adding it to this list now. It's supposed to arrive any day...but honesty it can take it's time. From what I've heard I need to revel in my last few days of Jillian-Free nightmares.
