Trying for normal... again.

I want to share this picture. Not because it has anything to do with my post today, but only because this was a silly day. They were so funny and then the afternoon pirates were just as fun. Gongigi, Sadiki. Gongigi.

Kinda been weird for the last few months. Focusing on the tasks at hand when I can. Earning my peace and taking what I can get when I can't. Just when work gets sorted out I get another curve ball. We'll see how this plays out. Tired of drama queens and people that go out of their way to be hurtful to others. Will focus on the people and things that matter. House in order, loved ones appropriately valued and zero tolerance of BS. I will not allow the emotional wrecking crews of the world to tear me down. With their hateful words or needless gossip. By that same token I will not tear others down or damage them with my words or deeds or lack of both. My focus... is on what makes it important and of what perceived value is it and how will my input or lack there of affect it.

To Do Lists

You know I have been in the worst funk lately. (see last post) However, I can't stand myself I'm so excited. Today is going to be so busy and exciting and nervewracking and overwhelming and... well I could go on. Besides my frustration on the job front and the previously mentioned cloud of gloom that has been trailing me lately, I get a huge gift of heart and love.

My home will be overflowing with my very favorite people in the whole world.
-> How cool is that?

My Tom, Miss Mouse, her hubby, their beautiful Bug and Her Bestest, will be gracing us with their company this evening. It's so awesome. I am going to be flying around today getting ready and have several to do lists. My Tom will be assisting with special acquistions and other goodies. Which means I get extra one on one time with him. YAY!!

My Doodle was so very thrilled when he heard that his buddy Bug would be here and then got upset because she wasn't going to his school with him. We hugged and giggled and I reassured him that he would see her today after school. He was still a little sad, but happy and singing about seeing her later as he got into the truck to leave. Kait and Zach are excited as well. They are really looking forward to Miss Mouse and her hubby's brillant sense of humor and getting to know Miss Mouse's Bestest.

This is shorter than I usually post, but I have so very much to do still and will have more to share after the fact. To those that can't be here, you are loved and missed and will be here in our hearts.


So as I open my windows and start my chores... I notice the song birds are back and a family of ducks has taken up residence on the stock pond.


Damn... it's gonna be a good day.
