Pauls mother is holding her own

Paul’s mother is doing better. She is holding her own. We’re waiting to hear what the vascular surgeon decides. She had another stroke on Sunday and then has had some TIA’s since then. But she really is holding her own. She was in physical therapy when I called today. She really is working hard to help herself recover and I have to give her credit on the amazing effort.
In other news, R took the kids to the doctors this past Monday for their physicals, he doesn’t ask questions or get copies of their physicals. Grrr, but anyways, my son grew four inches over the past year. Yes, my baby boy broke 5′ finally. To be honest I have been worried about it. He seems very very short to me and there were no signs of him getting taller. He’s been wearing the same size pants for forever now. Same size shirts too, we just bought him new clothes so he wouldn’t have to wear the same ole clothes year after year. But finally he grew, FOUR INCHES IN A YEAR!!!!!! Can you tell Im excited? He’s no 5′ 2 and 3/4″ tall and weighs 108 pounds. He grew, he really grew. I am such a happy person. Now he’ll get new clothes because he needs them because his other clothes he’s outgrown. He outgrew some clothes. It has been a while since he outgrew anything, including shoes and clothes. But he has outgrown things now. I hope he continues to grow and that this isn’t his adult height but if it is, it beats 4′9″ anyday!!!!

Get out of your own head.....

I had all kinds of thoughts and plans for my future. Dreams of the life I'd lead and the places I'd travel. But dreams are simply mist, blown away by the winds of reality, and as a well-known movie of our  younger years taught us, 'Reality Bites'. Reality is a bitter bitch.

Monster Juice Spray pussifying our children?

Today someone posted a cute little story about a pharmacy that prescribes a Monster Spray to children that have monsters under their bed. They spray the spray before bedtime, under their bed and it makes all the monsters go away. A little six year old girl used it three times before she was sure all the monsters were gone. I find this story absolutely adorable. I think it's wonderful that this pharmacists does something so kind for small children with big imaginations. I think a little magic in this world is just what a lot of child need. The response from one woman totally had me stunned. She said it's crap like this that is pussifying our children. Really? Then she went on in another reply when asked what one has to do with the other to say her daughter was bullied and what are they going to make next, bully spray? (They do make a bully spray, it's called mace!)  Her daughter had to graduate early because of bullies. Okay, what does her daughter being bullied have to do...

Sometimes..

Sometimes the emotional pain becomes too much to bear. Sometimes the emotional pain feels like it's going to consume us. Sometimes the emotional pain is so overwhelming that we need a physical pain to release it before we lose ourselves and who we are in it. Not everyone can understand this, I get that. Not everyone can look at someone with scars that were self inflicted and say, I see your pain. Sometimes, we hide those scars under our jeans so no one will notice. It's not for attention, it's for release. Sometimes we dull the pain with alcohol, sometimes we dull the pain with drugs either prescription or illegal. Sometimes we smoke too much and talk to loud. But we find our release to keep us alive. We are survivors with our scars to prove it.
