Ho Hum

I've been pretty happy up until last week. Then it hit. The Ho Hums hit like a ton of bricks. I don't feel excited about anything. It all seems boring. I just want to stay home on the couch with a book. I'm pretty sure the kids will have a great Christmas because I'm awesome at figuring out what a person wants even if they don't know it yet. They also will be off school which they enjoy even more than good presents. The husband gets what he wants but for the life of me I can't figure out what I want except a bigger house. I've tried to think of a gift that would make me happy, well not happy but something that I'd like. I keep drawing a blank. Is this what it's like to get older? You don't want anything because everything is boring and you know you don't really need it. All that stuff you get for Christmas will just be more things you have to find placed for in an already full house. We hardly have any snow...

Woman Down!

My daughter shared her cold with me on Mother's Day. It's a nice head cold so I feel like my head is about to explode and my face is on fire. The husband is useless to get anything to help so I've just been using herbal tea, ice water and a cool facecloth to keep myself from combusting into flames or exploding. Just so you know it's not working that well. I feel like a truck has run over me. It wasn't long ago that the daughter shared another cold with me. I wish my immune system would perk up but then I'm the one bringing her drinks and getting her cold cloths and giving her tea or whatever she wants. That means close contact and I'm pretty much doomed to get whatever she has. Hopefully I'll be all better soon. Today I just want my face to stop burning.

Shut Out

Being poor means you get shut out of so many things. For instance I'm a member of an online group of women who all got together when we were pregnant with our Jan 98 babies or shortly after they were born. I've only ever met one of these women but I've know the rest for 17 years now. They are a wonderful bunch of women but I always feel like an outsider in the group. One reason is most of them are from the US and the Canadian ones are all from Toronto and Nova Scotia and PEI. So not close to me at all geographically. What really makes me feel like an outsider is when they plan gatherings. Yes, these women travel to places and get together every couple of years. I have never been able to afford to go. I can't invite them here either because our little town has nothing in the way of amenities or fun things to do. Most of these women would not enjoy any type of outdoors activity like hiking or camping and that would be all my bu...
