SAYING GOODBYE TO MAY

Did May just fly by?  I feel like it was just April and now it is June.  It didn't help that it rained so much during May. 

I remember as a kid how much I wanted May to fly by so it would be June so summer would start.  Now I feel like the year is just flying by and I don't have time to catch up! 

Until tomorrow...

ANOTHER BOOK

I have been thinking of writing a book. I know I started a book before but I got to a point and I didn’t know where it was going next so I shelved it. I think this book should be about something I know about, being a foster mom. There are a lot of books out there written by therapists telling you to use this method or that method. I have yet to see a book that says what it is like to BE a foster mom.  Maybe I need to do more research but I haven’t seen one. Probably because if you are a foster mom you are too tired and don’t have a speck of energy left to spend writing a shopping list never mind a book!

Something to think about.

Until tomorrow...

JINGLING IN MY CAR

A couple of times in the past few days I have heard a noise in the backend of my car. At first i thought it was in the trunk but I realized it wasn’t.  I am worried it is the muffler. Since I have been driving a lot, I realized I better get it looked. Friday it is going in.

Until tomorrow...

MORE THERAPY

My doctor let me know that The-Insurance-Company-Who-Shall-Not-Be-Named has given me more appointments.   I was supposed to end my therapy at the end of May and now I have more appointments.  I am so happy.

Until tomorrow...

CLEANING AND ORGANIZING

I spent the weekend cleaning and organizing a few cabinets.  I love the feeling when I can open a drawer and things don't fall out.  It drives me crazy when I open a cabinet and I can't find anything.

I am hoping this is just the start.  The first thing I want to do is clean out the freezer.  I think there are things in there that have been there for more than a few months.

Until tomorrow...

INDY 500

I spent the morning watching the Indy 500.  It is an annual thing I do and this year I could do it.  I usually do other things while I do watch.  Things like laundry or computer work.  It is a long race and there are slow spots.  This race had some weird things happen around the pit stops.

It is something I enjoy and it lets me know summer has started.

Until tomorrow...

THINGS NOT WORKING OUT

Sometimes things do not work out the way you thought they would.  You bake a pie and it burns.  You plant a garden and some of the plants do not produce vegetables.  You apply for a job and you don't get a call for an interview.

Today something I thought would happen one way, happened another way.  This made me mad and sad at the same time.  Mad that it didn't happen the way I envisioned it happening and sad that now it will be happening differently.

It may all still work out but now there is too much unknown,

Until tomorrow...

WHEN PLANS FALL THROUGH

Today I made plans and they fell through.  It was not anything super important but something I was looking forward to.  For me it is hard when plans fall through because I was looking forward to going to the thing.  Then it was cancelled and we were not going.  I get disappointed.

I am sure a new plan will be formed and this one will be just as fun. 

Until tomorrow...

LENTIL, KALE & QUINOA STEW

I made soup today.  I had some kale that was going to go bad and I had to use it or in a day it would have to go in the compost heap.  I thought it didn't matter if it was a day past it's prime in soup.  I had all the ingredients for Lentil, Kale and Quinoa Stew.  It is easy and super quick to make.  It comes out real stew like and makes a delicious meal.

I like having a meal prepared when I get home or for lunch.  I can just pop it in the microwave.

Until tomorrow...

DEPENDING ON PEOPLE

Have you ever had a time that you depend on someone and they let you down?  I mean really depend on someone and they just don't show up?

This week it happened to me.  I can't divulge the specific circumstances but it was so disappointing.

I can think of another time that someone didn't show up.  One time I had a dog sitter all set up and close to the last minute that person cancelled.  It really left me in a lurch.  I thought I would not be able to go on my trip.  I found a replacement and it all worked out but for those few days, I was quite upset.

Until tomorrow...
