Mrs Groovy

New meds make me sick. Like taking poison. Will get used to it.

Husband’s car broke down. 100 degrees.

$450 and counting….

Mom wants me to go to my brothers for the 4th. I really dont want to. 1989 my Dad asked me to go to my brothers. I said no. He died 3 months later.

I made the mistake of telling her I didnt feel good because of new meds. She’s all up in my face now about getting out of the house. Please make her understand I do what I can and what I need.

And I leave the fucking house all the time!

Went to lunch with the inlaws after kids’ dentist appointments (rave reviews and no cavities) it was nice.

Husband’s birthday, Sunday will try to make it nice but not special. Threw away most of the cupcakes from father’s day. I know…. he’s not a cake guy. One bite was all he took.

Hope the car gets fixed soon and doesnt cost much more.

As I get older I have started to see more and more lines and wrinkles on my face. This is of course is the natural progression of life but it does not mean I have to like it or accept it. I am looking for products that will take care of my face, giving it nutrients and keeping it supple too. I am looking for natural skincare. I don’t want a bunch of goop and unnatural products on my face clogging my pores and causing me more problems. I found a site, that was founded by doctors where I can find natural, high end products. They’ve got all types of products from acne care, anti-aging, exfoliants, kits and creams. I’d rather buy a product created by people who know what works rather than people who like to market to make money.

I’m home today, which hasn’t been happening much lately. Well, other than last week when I was sick and slept just about every day. I am beginning to feel better finally. Just in time to have my second period this month. Isn’t that lovely?

This morning did not go as planned and to say it started off bad would be an understatement. But now that I’ve regrouped, spoken to a couple of very important people and had time to think, I’m feeling more at ease.

We’re having Thanksgiving with my Mom this year. I plan on going over to her house early and helping her cook the food, later on depending if my husband has to work he and the kids will come over. Not sure yet if my Mom’s friend will be there or not but we’re all hoping he’ll come. He’s a nice sweet guy without any family nearby.

Both kids got their report cards and they are both doing very well in school. I expected my daughter to do well since she’s always done well and I’m able to check her progress online. But I have to say I’m very proud of how well my son is doing. He is able to read more and more words and he excels at math. I kind of knew that would be the case. My daughter is a reader like me and my son is a math head like his Daddy.

We are planning on getting a family picture taken soon. I’m not sure exactly when I’m waiting for a return email from one of my husband’s ex employees who now works at a photography place. I’m really excited about getting our pictures taken because its been so long since we’ve had “professional” pictures done.

Next week the kids only have school on Monday! I’m thrilled beyond words with that. I so need some time off with the kids to just hang out and be. I only wish my husband could take the majority of time off as well, but he’ll probably only be able to get a few days off.

He and I have been working together at his job a lot and we’ve been having so much fun together. We both said the hardest part about fighting is that we are each others best friends and we know what we’re missing out on when we aren’t getting along. When we are in sync the world just feels better. I love that man and I’m so thankful for him, even when he annoys me.

Christmas this year is not going to be about stress and presents. Yes, there will be presents but not as many as usual. We’re going to scale down on the hype and just enjoy our time with each other. I think the kids and I will get out the Christmas stuff while they are off next week and we’ll have a decoration party to last for days. I’m ready for a new year, a new way and a new beginning.
