It’s Been One of Those Days

Let me set the mood by saying Blogger just crashed and lost my original post…So here’s take two:

My body is weary, and my brain is fried. Maybe it’s the nine hours I spent at the State fair yesterday, (or maybe it’s all the mid-way junk food I ate!)Maybe it was one too many rollercoaster rides, or the fact that the October sun wore me out. (I’m so ready for Fall and the cool weather.)

Or could it be waking up early this morning, scrambling to get four kids dressed, fed and out the door to make our 9 am homeschool co-op where I had to teach 15 preschooler (thankfully with the help of three other adults).

But whatever the reason, I’m exhausted and just don’t care about the school work or chores that haven’t been done today. I did manage to slap some lunch meat between bread for my kids for lunch. Then I sent the little ones up to play PS2 and the older ones to finish their grammar. Then, guilt free, I vegged in front of the computer surfing, unable to piece together a coherent sentence. In a zombie like state, I remained ignoring the noise and growing chaos until screams erupting from upstairs snapped me out of my trance for the moment. After settling the PS2 arguement and managing to help my kids with vocabulary homework, I planted myself back in front of this screen and have remained here since.

Though I might be tempted to tear myself away from our friday pizza movie night. [sniffing the air] Smells like dad’s home!

From the day I received my first diary in the second grade, I've had a passion expressing myself through writing. Later as a journalist and novelist, I realized words, if used powerfully, have the ability to touch, stir, and reach from the depths of one soul to another. Today as a writing and health coach, I inspire others to live their extraordinary life and encourage them to share their unique stories.
