This morning I did my usual drill Sargent bit: "get socks 'n' shoes on, brush your teeth, time to go" followed by "go get in the car, is everyone buckled up?" I buckled the 3 yr old & off we went. I dropped the 6 & 7 yr old off at school & took the 3 yr old to preschool/daycare. Then it dawned on me! As I went to unbuckle him & help him out of the car, his shoes! He was wearing a left-tennie on his right foot & a right-sandal on his left foot!!!! No time to go home & correct the matter as I had a Dr appt to go to!!! So, I admit my failure in motherhood to the childcare provider, shake my head & say "At least retrieving his shoes from the shoe bucket will be easy, they'll be the only 2 that don't match anything else!" UGH.
My appointment for therapeutic massage or myofacial release was incredibly helpful. So much tension & pain was released from my neck & head & arms, it was a slice of heaven. I tried to dollop a bit of whip cream on this slice of heaven in the form of a quick nap afterwards at home. My effort was thwarted by the power bill disconnect/collection guy. Darling hubby "forgot" to pay the bill. Luckily I was able to get him on the phone & he paid on-line & gave the reference # to the agent waiting on my door step. Yea, power still on, boo nap not gonna happen, oh well. As I soon gathered my boys up from school I thought how nice it would be to be that carefree again. If only my only concern in life was if I had any chocolate mints in my purse & if it was OK to have a Popsicle after lunch! I learn so much from my children. Yes on both accounts by the way, along with tissue & antibacterial hand gel - the ultimate mom purse. No, the Popsicles weren't in the purse, they were at home in the freezer where they belong. Imagine that!
We unfortunately live in an area where the power & other lines are above ground & the ugly poles & wires are all about. A robin flew near my kitchen window today & landed on the wire making it shake a bit. Somehow this spoke volumes to me in life analysis commentary. My house is it's usual disaster, there are Lego's on the couch, unmatched socks in an overflowing basket staring me in the face, damp size 3T undies on the bathroom floor, dishes piled so high I cannot deny their existence any longer, yet the will to contend with these things is somewhere else-having forgotten to check in with me. I'm a bit lost in a sea of rubble here, all my own fault. Life has consequences which undoubtedly catch up with one sooner or later. I'm reminded of a line uttered in the cult classic movie "Buckaroo Bonsai in the 5Th Dimension" which says, "Just remember, no matter where you go, there you are". I had just found it funny in my youth, now I realize its incredible perception. So, here I am. Where are you?
Be Blessed dear reader, be blessed in your surroundings.
