Smile when life makes you want to scream

Life has been 

BUSY

Or I should say my Kid's life has been busy

I can honestly say 

I think she needs her own assistant

While I am kidding 

Part of me is really contemplating it 

(will never happen)

How nice though

The idea

That way I go to the important things

But can slack on the other stuff

I think the above screams bad mom

For me to think that

But 

We as people 

Get overwhelmed at times

There has been some crummy things 

That have taken place 

In our lives

Nothing horrible

Just more annoying

 I think

I will just share the pictures of the good stuff

The stuff 

That made me smile

Have a wonderful Memorial Day weekend!
 

A messy work week collides with life

I was a bad blogger

I really should say I was a bad non blogger

Or reader

Work 

Was EVIL

Last week

I am still recovering

We had a new computer system go live 

Last Monday 

To say it was a disaster 

Would be to kind

I had a break down by noon

Tears were flowing

On my way home at 3

It was messy

I dont understand 

Why 

The people who set systems up 

Dont defer to those who actually will use it

I think 

Many of the issues 

Would end up being non ones 

COMMUNICATION

It helps

This week 

I am playing catch up in the blogger world

I have many to read

I have missed you all

Instagram 

Has kept my in touch 

Even if only in a small way

It is almost like a movie trailer

And 

I love me a movie trailer

Am I the only one

So here is hoping to a better week

May yours be great too

Wonderful weekend why are you over

Had a great weekend

Spent it outside

And 

I have the burnt skin to prove it

Ouch 

Is all I have to say

We had a beautiful day

For the Kid's lacrosse game

Sadly

We loss

10-6

But it was a battle hard fought

#19 Super Proud of this Kid

Had a little Cinco Da Miyo Fun

Saturday evening

(I know a day early)

We some friends

Forgot the camera

Maybe a good thing

I behaved though

Made sure I was in bed before midnight

Sunday

Was off to a birthday party 

For my friend's now 5 year old

Happy Birthday Xavier

It was a great day

Family,friends and food

I wish all weekends could be this much fun!

Friday Letters

Finally

Spring has arrived

I am loving every moment of it

Windows open

Sun is shining 

Children are playing

This weekend should be wonderful

R

Raging

I have a raging headache today

Been fighting it all day

But 

3pm when you arrived

My headache was mostly gone

Great start to the weekend

I

Imagine
Imagine Dragons
That is
Kinda a favorite
In this home lately
Love that me and the Kid
Have the same taste in music
Sometimes

D
Determined
To do nothing
But
Hang out in the sunshine and fresh air
All weekend
Sorry housekeeping you will need to wait

A
Away
The Kid has another away lacrosse game
Saturday
I'm all ready excited for her
She truly loves playing the game

Y
Yanking
I feel like I have been yanking my hair
Right of my head
This last week or so at work
Sadly
It wont be getting any better any time soon
We are getting a new system
It goes live Monday morning
I don't think it will be a smooth transition
Not one but
But
That is Monday morning
Not going to let it ruin my weekend fun


Hope everyone has a memory making weekend!

Days like this

I think 

It is safe to say

That Spring

Has finally sprung

It has been a rocky start

Still 

A bit chilly in the am

However 

I have been loving all the blooming

Going on around me

Even if my nose

Is irritated
Bring on the tissues
I will survive

Weather like this 

Makes me want to head down to the NYC 

For a little day trip

 So I guess
I have some planning to do

SUN-day !

So in a life 

That keeps throwing curves at me 

My post in progress 

For Friday

Never was finished

SO 

Instead of finishing it up late

I am going to change it

To fit into a Sunday post

Here it goes...

S

Success

I tried a new recipe 

A simple one 

Easy to make

And a hit the Kid

Just wish I had also taken a picture of the cooked fish as well

U 

 Underwhelmed

So the Kid ,Noka, and I  went out for a belated birthday meal

The restaurant is a chain one

I had never been so I was up for it

So sadly I will say I don't have any plans to go back

The staff was nice

The food was average the prices were not

I did enjoy my dessert

Plus I got a nice picture of the Kid and her Noka

        

Love these two!

N

NYSMA

The Kid participated in NYSMA
I don't really know what it is
Other then I pay for the Kid to do it
She does some playing and sight reading for a judge
He scores her
We all hope for a good score
But other then that kind of clueless
I know bad mom

The Kid plays drums in the school band

This is her second time testing with NYSMA

I wish I had some pictures to share

But 

Pictures,filming or recording

Strictly forbidden

I think she did better then she thinks

We will find out in a few weeks

D

Dreading
All the cleaning
I need to do today
However
It is the only day
I can actually get to it
Since the rest of the week to come is booked solid
Motivation is lacking
Mainly because it is beautiful outside
I will push through
Maybe even get to enjoy some of the sun

A

Abs

Or should I say lack of

The Kid started her Physical therapy this week

Found out that she has no ab strength

She has been using  her legs and back to do everything

Thus the reason she has low back pain all the time 

(well that and the scoliosis)

So for the next 6 weeks or so we will see her therapist John

Who will work on getting her to find those muscles

As well as correcting her posture

Fun evenings ahead of us 

It helps that the Therapist knows how to have fun with the Kid

It also helps that he makes me laugh and the time goes by faster

Yesterday 

Was a great day

Plenty of sunshine

The Kid's first away lacrosse game

Another tie

Which I am grateful for 

The other team was tough 

And our girls held their own

Woo hoo!

Kingston Tigers

Kingston is in maroon

 

 

 

Hope everyone found some time to enjoy the weekend
Till the next one my friends

Searching for words

Flirting

Flirting with disaster that is 

I have been trying to give my Kid  a bit more freedom

She is only 11 soon to be 12

I know for a fact I did a lot more when I was her age

I wonder why I feel like I need to keep the hold so tight

Small steps I am taking

Saturday she was invited to go roller skating

Innocent enough sounding

But 

I won't be there 

And 

I am kinda afraid that the "mean girls" will be stalking 

Do I let her go and hope for the best

Or do I keep her home

Avoiding the drama and save it for another day

Remembering 

This week had been a crazy one in the States

First off 

All the craziness that happened at the Boston Marathon

And 

That continues this morning with many neighborhoods pretty much on a lock down

While the searching continues for the second suspect

Secondly

The small town of West, Texas

How horrible to basically to have your whole town leveled

To need to start your lives from scratch

While healing

Today marks anniversaries for 2 other horrible moments in our history 

Waco Texas standoff

And 

The Oklahoma bombing

Two events that I watched unfold on the television

I remember them clearly because one happened on my 16th birthday and the other my 18th 

So today I'll take a moment

To remember all of those who lost their lives 

I

Instagram
Taken last Saturday but including it in this weeks post
Better late than never

Dancing

Gonna dance my arse off this weekend

I might even look like Snoopy while doing it

But 

That is all right with me

A

Agree
I would agree with the following
However
The people lately in my local Target
Didn't get the memo

Y

Yawning
Because it is Friday evening
And
I'm all about being lazy tonight
And
Sleeping in tomorrow


Have a wonderful weekend!
