Outing ouch!

We had a little outing yesterday to the ocean. The weather wasn't the greatest, but it was nice to get out of the house and just walk. We started out on a trail and it took us way above the beach. We kept looking for a way to get back down to the beach and finally found a way. Steep as it was, it was doable. As I was creeping down the trail, I stepped on some loose sand and down I went. Holy buckets! I landed right on my tailbone and heard a pop. I thought for sure I cracked it again. The pain just flooded me and I just screamed for my husband. He got to me and then I passed out. I saw his face materialize in front of me, kind of like when you're coming out of surgery. I sat for a moment before I continued on down. It was tough making it back to the car. There's not too much pain right now, only if I'm trying to step up. Then it hurts. I took a few pictures and thought I would share them with you. The last pic is where I went tumbling down...ouch!

Business

We have been talking about opening a new shop. I have dreamed for many years of having my own little shop. I have it pictured out in my mind, just wish I could put it to paper. I have been doing some research on starting a business, and the first thing is a business plan. I started reading on that and damn, there is a lot of stuff that goes into just that. I am getting a little flustered because I don't even know where to start. I have a template, of sorts, but it is still complicated. Not sure if I will be able to do this. But it is something that I have dreamed of so I will keep trying. Feel free to leave me some advice, tips, knowledge or heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeelp in this. I would be very appreciative.

There comes a time in life
when you have to let go of
all the pointless drama
& the people who create it.
Surround yourself with people
who make you laugh so hard
that you forget the bad
and focus solely on the good.
After all, life is too short
to be anything but happy.

this too shall pass

Feeling a little frustrated. Letting the negativity step in and take control, even for a moment, should not be acceptable. It starts to take longer to dismiss the feeling. It is slowly winning. Small, petty things start to become enormous. It festers deep inside, waiting for release. Turning all of the ick into something positive becomes more difficult as it grows. It needs to be stopped immediately, when it is small and easy to change. It has to go somewhere. Focus. Breathe. Release. For this too shall pass.

Live and learn

Everything has been going quite well lately. There are still issues, but , with kids, there will always be issues. There hasn't been anything major which is a step ahead on the right path. I keep preaching consistency and the response has been positive. I know that if we all get on the same page that everything will work itself out.We went to the school and had a meeting with her teachers. You can tell that they know her potential and encourage her to strive for it. I believe that she knows herself and maybe just doesn't know what to do with it. So we are all on the same side. Everyone wants her to be the best that she can be. These years are the tough ones. I don't know how many times I thought I was going insane when my kids were preteen. There's just a lot of stuff going on when you are that age and it is hard, sometimes, to figure out what to do with it all. So, we're all hanging in there and counting to ten a lot. I know that it will be all right one day.

Had a birthday on the 3rd. Doesn't much matter after you turn 21, and that was many years ago. Lol! We went to a casino for a couple hours. I had a good time, except that it was hard to see since my glasses are crap and I can't see with or without them. My husband didn't have a very good time though. He said that he was doing it for me. That was very kind of him, but I don't expect him to do something that he doesn't like just because I like it. Sometimes we tend to forget that we feel each other. So as I felt that he wasn't enjoying himself as much as I was my energy changed and I was ready to go. It was time anyway.Tati was going to be getting out of school. We got back and they baked me a cake. My husband handed me the coolest card. The thing that was so cool was that it fit perfectly. That made my whole day! I love you baby, so much.

Still no job...=( If any of you need a dedicated hard working person, pick me...hehehe. I did get a $25 increase in my weekly unemployment check. That was a nice surprise. I think it would be nice if the places that I have already applied with would at least let me know that I wasn't what they were looking for. Doesn't seem very business like to me. What do I know, I come from a town of 2500 people. I don't know what it is like in the cities. Live and learn I guess.
