This is a blurry Sunday morning. I thought I would try something new to try and wake me up, get me going. I met
Fadra at BlogHer Writers last week, and she started a
Stream of Consciousness Sunday meme. With
NaBloPoMo coming up, a few well-placed memes could be useful to help me post every day for thirty days.
Without further explanation, here’s what I’m thinking about today…
Apparently the end of October is upon us.
BigBrother’s last soccer game is today. It would figure, seeing as how FireDad is working. I’m kind of glad the season is over, even though BigBrother seemingly loves soccer and has made some great strides in his game this year. The reason? The communication from league/team to parents has been worse than ever. Games and practices were cancelled — and I never received a call. It wasn’t just me; other parents on our team complained of the same. As such, I don’t feel like we’re going to the End of Season party after the game.
Especially considering my back is out. Again. I don’t really know what to do. I stood up at the Halloween party yesterday evening and almost passed out because the pain was so intense. I cannot continue living this way. I cannot continue gaining this much weight because I can’t work out. I cannot continue ignoring that this is not a horrific, life-altering pain that needs dealt with — but I also don’t know how to deal with it. So, I sit and wonder.
The Halloween Party at Dillon State Park was really quite awesome. The younger crew only did one loop (out of a total of three). It was the perfect sized route, resulting in one full pumpkin of candy. We cooked hot dogs, ate taco salad and chili and the kids ran around chasing each other. BigBrother’s costume is muddy and hot chocolate-y, and I’m over it because he had so much fun. I took some amazing pictures throughout the day and I’m just so glad that LittleBrother got over a tummy-woe so that we were able to go.
Our friends were joking that we’re all old. We’ve got multiple back issues, heart issues and other mental and physical health ailments. We miss coffee for doctor’s appointments. We laughed, but I’m hoping we all come into a healthy year in 2012. Mainly because I want to have coffee with my friends on a regular basis!
