Good Morning,

Another pretty day. I hope it stays nice tomorrow, I know that it is suppose to rain tomorrow, but, keep your fingers and toes crossed it doesn't. The kids are coming to help Dad with the fence and decking.  We are also celebrating Fathers Day with a BBQ. Plus, I want to use the patio set. We never eat outside because Hubert would rather camp in front of the TV.

Otherwise, I have a few errands to run and a few things to do today. I do want to make a carrot , pineapple and raisen salad for tomorrow and a corn cassarole, both taste better the next day.

Have a great weekend,

Hugs,

 

Lisa

Hi IL Friends,

I have been working out every morning early and I forget to catch up in the pm when I get home.......I have missed you guys. Where does the time go????

This morning I left early and missed my workout because I had 70 foreclosure inspections.

I was surprised how warm it got today. I was sweating by 8:30am. By noon I saw it was 86 degrees. I thought it was supposed to be cool. Thank goodness i dressed for my hot flashes that i have routinely been having again.  

I had a weird thing happen at the pool yesterday. Somebody took my towel. Normally this would sound like no big deal, except i pin my locker key to the towel and the woman who mistakenly took it told everyone in the dressing room that she took the wrong towel on the towel rack in the pool, used mytowel and then took it home with her. Instead of coming back into the pool area to fix the mistake, she went home with my towel. The weird thing is it made me very angry. I NEVER get angry. But I was so peeved that I went to the front desk and demanded that the woman return with my towel. I never demand anything. I am still miffed. My question, why do you think this peeved me so bad? I think it as because she told everyone in the dressing room she had the wrong towel and took mine. But still I feel like I over-reacted. BTW, my towel was a 50 dollar designer bath sheet. Her towel?? not so much. I am mad at myself because the entire time I was miffed. I kept telling myself I was over-reacting. I was asking God to calm me down and I still was acting like a mad woman. Do you think it's the anti-depressant i just started taking...wellbutrin? Anybody ever take this before? I told my husband about it and he told me I seem normal to him......HA!

Well we are off to get some fish at the VFW.

Have a great rest of today everyone.

Hugs,

Sharon

 

PS...I look forward to watching your talk, Randy.

Sharon-  I know maybe it's not the christian way to be angry like that.  But I feel like a good rant or blowing off steam is good for the soul...LOL!!!  I seriously mean that.  When I feel.  l frustrated, upset, angry...I don't believe in bottling it up.  I think it's unhealthy.  I think as long as you are in an appropriate time and place...it is perfectly alright to scream, yell, kick...whatever.  To me keeping it in makes me an angrier person.  

For instance I was outside work when I noticed the dent in my car.  Well I work at a place that it is perfectly ok to curse.  You better believe I was out there reacting.  I didn't make a scene.  But I yelled, cursed and threatened to hunt the person down and do severe bodily harm to him and all he holds dear.  Do I mean these things..of course not.   But my tantrum last 2 minutes...I was done.  I felt better and I was able to go into work and focus on my day.  

I really do believe that my weird way of handling situations...my little tantrums or laughter...as a coping mechanism is what has kept me on a even keel through everything.  

So you had a little out burst of anger....as long as you did nothing illegal and no one was hurt...what real harm did you do???  it's OK and you probably needed it as a stress relief.

Crystal,

You are a blessing to me. Thanks for saying what you did. Life is too short to berate ourselves for being human.

Enjoy today...I know you were mom and dad to Amanda like i was mom and dad to my Katie. Hugs, Sharon
