TGIF

Yesterday, Grama watched the kids while us girls went shopping and to lunch. We just putted around and took our time. It was nice. I didn't have to go down ANY toy aisles and argue with Asa that he is broke and can't afford any toys.

Tuesday night we went to the DVD store (that's what Asa calls Hollywood Video) and rented Diego and a Power Rangers movie. On the way home from the video store, he told Joshua "Daddy, Power Rangers is age appropriate, but it's not educational. That's why Mum doesn't let me watch it that much."

Last night, Asa went to bed before 8pm, so I got to treat myself to some much needed TV time. I got to watch Survivor and Top Design. I really needed to do something mindless since my mind has been racing lately.

I'm not feeling good. Can't sleep, anxiety, stressed, racing mind, restlessness and irritable. I hope I can ride this thing out before my doctors appointment in 2 weeks. I hope it doesn't get worse. We'll see.

It got cold last night, about 36 degrees. I made a bit of a fire and curled up and watched my TV last night. I think I'm going to do that tonight too:) I'm tired and just want to sleep sleep sleep.

I miss my Grandma and wish that I could give/get a hug from her or hold her hand. I wish that I would have seen her more than I did the last few years. There is so much I wish I could ask her and I will never have that chance.

I guess I'm a debbie downer today. I'm telling myself that it's just a bump in the road and all will be better next week. I can only hope.

Thats exactly what I need!! Someone to go shopping with me and argue that I am broke and can't afford stuff. Instead I have friends who say "Ohhh, thats awesome, you can't pass that up!"

Don't feel down! Make a cup of hot chocolate (spike it with peppermint schapps!) and go stand ouside and just breathe in and out slowly, take a look at everything extraordinary around you. Hang in there!

Good Afternoon Debbie ( oh sorry Trina)
You have the memory of holding her hand and visiting with her daily, that is more than most people have, if you close your eyes and curl up your hand you may even feel the warmth you felt when you did have her hand to hold.. cheer up my lil friend.. it is sunny and beautiful during the day for now and the leaves are crunchy, go teach Asa to do some leaf jumping and to listen for the crunch of the crisp leaf, then explain to him that the trees are falling asleep for the winter months so that they can come back and play in the spring. Give yourself a hug for me. and please smile you have a wonderul smile.
Hugs,
MTII

It IS a bump in the road. You CAN do this. You WILL get through... you always do, so repeat that mantra over and over to yourself. Youare a good mom, a good sister, a good daughter, a good wife (yay!) and a good friend. Focus on those things to get you through. I love ya!

I don't know what it is about this time of year, or maybe it is just knowing we don't have her for the holidays this year, but I too am having a hard time. I am glad we have each other and our lovely memories of her. So many memories. I love you and you will get through this manic spell. Ride it out!
