Now--Isn't that the truth? When you tackle some chore that seems impossible, and it turns out just fine, then you realize that you are strong--Lordy Be eh?---
So, we have milder weather--- above zero-- rain---The snow has melted-- -and all is good--- for now!-
-and I do think "old"----but, look at those Ladies playing Hopscotch?---- Do you remember doing that?-- and skipping-- "Double Dutch"--Do children even do that to-day?---I believe one would see the Skipping ropes turning, mainly on the Public School grounds , at recess--
-- I never liked "recess"--- I hated being put outside in the school grounds with all the other children-- I found it scare-y----I was taller than most of the kids--I was never good at sports---- I was the last one chosen when other kids had to choose participants to be on their team--It was embarrassing-
-Crazy what one remembers from their childhood--- I never told my Mom all this-- To-day I wonder why that was, because I'm sure she could've talked to me about how to deal with all that--I do remember playing the piano with the nuns , and then becoming a Drum Majorette in High School and my life became more outgoing--
Funny what kids keep in their head eh---
So, how on earth did I ever get onto all of this?----Himself has been been good --yesterday and to-day--sorta bossy, but that's OK-- I have learned to not hear all of his instructions----
--Pretty neat saying isn't it?---Of course, one must learn a lot of good stuff, before one can deal with it all----- so true---
Sadie is here-- (who you know is really me!)-going to tackle the kitchen floor--then stew some rhubarb--Big Beau is better--- Lopez is a little Monkey who thinks he knows everything and wants to do everything, "his" way--I really think his tiny little brain has more knowledge in it than my whole head-- --Of course he is a huge challenge!
I shall wish you all a great day-- Be kind to Chihuahuas--and old people (like myself)- who are struggling to get thru to-day--- and Pilots who love to fly somewhere--anywhere---and Policemen, who want to protect people---and remember always believe that you are stronger than you realize---
You came this far---- because your track record for dealing with bad days , so far, is 100% -----

Until reading your blog today I had forgotten (conveniently) that I did not particularly enjoy recess either. I love the outdoors, but I was never a sports person either, so last to be picked to play kickball, and I never liked the playground equipment. I do remember playing jacks, and that was fun, but I was not the queen of that either. It is funny what you forget. Probably somewhere in our psyche we both carry permanent damage from those days on the playground. :)
ReplyDeleteOh yu made me smile--Thank yu-- So, I wasn't alone in all that?-Thank yu--You really have made my day--Here all these years I thought I was alone in all that stuff! --first time I have even admitted it to anyone--- So happy yu told me of yer experience-- Lynda
DeleteAnother inspiring blog from my good friend by the lake. Saved 2 memes today. Love quotes.
ReplyDeleteGlad Himself is doing well, and LOVE the photo of the dogs.
Yes. I already had one challenge today...I woke up to it. Saw it as soon as I read my email. It is fixed! That's thanks to my credit union. When I went there, they said, "This is customer appreciation week, Margaret. Here are some treats for you." I received 2 large chocolate cookies and a small bag of popcorn.
Yes, my Lucky...a cat...threw up yesterday. It's okay. I believe cats to that more than dogs. At least it wasn't on the carpet this time.
Have you done any holiday shopping yet? I got one present. Don't buy many. My kids know that I can't do all of them and theirs. I do shop for my daughter and hers that live close and I actually get to visit. Also my 'adopted daughters' here and a couple friends in the building.
Haven't decorated yet, and I will not do so until after Thanksgiving. I've heard mention of Friendsgiving. Must google who celebrates that and when it is. I can't give gifts to friends on that day AND Christmas!
Sadie won't be doing much here today as she is busy at your house.
Glad your weather is nicer. Ours is, too. Almost 60F, blue skies, just a bit of a breeze. The weatherman on the radio says, "Friday it will be back to reality."
{{{HUGS}}}
Delete"The Lady of the Lake"--I guess that is me!!-- LOL--- Do yu belong to a Credit Union also? That is our bank also---No--not done Holiday shopping yet--must think what to give the Grandkids---Yes Sadie looked in-here--- was supposed to do the kitchen floor but--- I got busy dressing Himself's leg--He has 3 very deep ulcers (sores) on one leg--had to get a Dr to order Antibiotics then get to a Pharmacy to buy the dressings-turned into a busy day--Snow in the near future I hear----so nice to chat with yu--Lynda
Hi Lynda, it's Kathy. YES, some days I just want to run away, but then I think of how much I'd have to do to make that happen!!! Daisy and I just got back from a nice walk - we haven't been able to do that for a few weeks because of my pain. But today it's just gone. It might be back tomorrow so I'll enjoy today. I love all the memes, especially the one by Maya Angelo. I was always picked last too and I hated that. Even in my early days I took dance classes and was pretty good but I hated all sports, especially running. It's taken many years for me to appreciate who I am! My husband and I are not on the same page these days - I want to get some work done around the house and he wants to do his own thing. Just maybe, this morning, we came to a truce! He's out leaf blowing right now and Daisy and I are going out to finish cutting back all the perennials! Enjoy the good days with himself!
ReplyDeleteHimself is not on the same page as I am any more--LOL--- Oh well-- I miss the old him tho--a lot! -- The weather has been good---for now --but--I hear that"S" word in the near future-Lynda
DeleteThe world is definitely a better place because of you Lynda.
ReplyDeleteRecess...ugh...and PE class. I never liked sports, still don't. Being picked last leaves that icky feeling of not good enough,unpopular or whatever negative that I can recall. I did like jump rope. I wonder if kids still do that? Double Dutch was the best.
Glad himself is in a good mood. Seems that happens more often since he goes to daycare.
Loved the inserThat?
Have a wonderful day. Dont worry, be happy. Not so easy to do with the financial concerns but worry won't change it.
Hugs
no--worrying will not change the financial situation-- I have decided to just make do with the shopping for new outfits-- It just cannot happen right now--Good thing Im not going to visit the King--LOL-Lynda
DeleteI like that . . . . don’t worry about getting old, worry about THINKING old. That’s it!
ReplyDeleteAwwww, glad that Himself has had a few good days. That makes it a little easier for you.
Warm days here, too. BUT looks like back to normal starting on Friday. Oh well.
HUGS

I hear we are in for more snow--soon -- Lynda
DeleteThat's great your snow is gone! It was sunny and 60 in Ohio and sunny and 63 tomorrow with rain Friday. Yes, we are strong when we don't have a choice. We just do what we have to do and make the best of it. Happy news that Himself is doing good for you. Love the pic of Beau and Lopez. They are too cute! Hope your day was wonderful!:)
ReplyDeleteYes a good day-- Himself has developed 3 very bad sores on his one leg-- had to get some antibiotics for them plus stuff to dress the leg--and he is not a good patient-Lynda
DeleteOh goodness! Hope they heal soon! I would say most doctors are not very good patients. lol
DeleteRecess. I wasn't a fan either. It set us up to be self conscious about stuff for our whole lives. It was with me yesterday as I filled in a form on a clipboard with a pen. My tremor is really bad, but even though my handwriting is different, it was still readable. that made me feel a little bit better about it. I also had a voice in my head reminding me that nobody cares if I walk like I look like I had six pack of beer for my lunch. seriously, my walking is bad too because of the same tremor. I can't help that. Today I learned to just take smaller steps and that helped - I didn't lose my sense of balance as easily. From all the comments, it looks like you and I are in good company with not enjoying sports or recess. I think I did about 10 impossible things today and I'll probably do more tomorrow. Hopefully I won't have any more for today though. I'm a bit tired I'm out of spoons. Have you heard that story about the spoons? It's a good story. Anyway love you. See your post tomorrow. (Yes I use dictation as well as some typing shortcuts, plus just looking at the keyboard to see where to aim my fingers helps a lot. We think my autoimmune issue is Scleroderma, but will know for sure once my GP looks at my immunology antibodies test tomorrow. It's affecting my thumbs and I had issues while driving because the cruise control is on my steering wheel and my thumbs can't quite reach anymore, which was frustrating. There's nothing I can do about it. It's the skin tightening around the joint and tendons.
