In the last six weeks since we've moved, my son has broken his leg, my cat ran away, my car has been deemed to be on its last wheel and we need to find a new one (which means taking on a monthly car payment just when we were starting to get ahead a little bit). My chocolate lab has had chronic diarrhea (I think it's just nerves from moving from the only house he's ever known since we brought him home 10 years ago) and my five year old has been having a rough go of it not having any girlfriends to call for a playdate yet. There's a saying "If Mama ain't happy, ain't nobody happy." I'm going to officially change that to "If a five year old ain't happy, ain't NOBODY happy" because the stress level has been vastly multiplied by this. Ugghh!!!
Miss Megan and I did have a night to ourselves last night. I took her to see a local production of The Nutcracker. It was called "The Nutcracker - Short and Sweet" and was geared for younger kids. It was an hour long and was pretty much perfect. She started to squirm in her seat at about the 45 minute mark and said she was bored. Up until then, she was mesmerized. : )
As I made my coffee this morning, I looked out the window at the beautiful day we've been given and I made the conscious decision to have a good day. I know things will work themselves out. They always do. The Universe/God is always so good to us and magic always happens for us. I will never get these days back again. I am stressed but, more than that, I am blessed.
This always makes me feel better . . .
Have a very happy Sunday and a peaceful week ahead ~ Wendy

Sending you a big hug and hope it makes you feel a whole lot better, you are certainly getting a rough deal at the moment. Wishing you and yours a wonderful Christmas and everything you wish for yourselves for the New year. Take care.
By the way, that is one of my favourite sayings ever...
That's the best quote. Sending you all hugs and healing. Keeping you in my prayers xxx
Oh, sweetie, hang in there! Thankfully your son didn't need surgery. And try some canned pumpkin for the dog. A couple of tablespoons of pure pumpkin mixed with dog food clears up any doggie diarrhea in this house.
Stressed and blessed! You've got it covered.
Have a peaceful week and remember to take your own advice....make time for yourself!

Oh My Wendy you have had a lot going on. Hoping as we get close to saying good bye to 2015 you will find better luck and better days ahead in the coming year. Enjoy your family. Merry Christmas. Hugs.

Yeah, when there's someone with a bad mood near, you'll definitely be in a bad mood, too. It's somehow of a synchronization. Hate such days. Make yourself a five minute breaks everyday, in peace. Or listen to the music. It always helps me to stay in a good mood.
It will get better - hang in there, Wendy! I hope you and your family have some time to destress, relax and enjoy the holidays - it's easy to say, not always so easy to do. Merry Christmas!
Sorry to hear your bad news and beaming get well thoughts for your sons leg. if it is anything like mine, I am on cast number 3 where it was so swollen. crutches are were its at!
is there a library near you? Maybe they do childrens time where they read stories out? My great niece loves this, but has to be told to be quiet as she is a networking whirlwind and tries to make friends with everyone. she is 3.
