The little things that count...

I cannot believe I haven't written a blog post in months.  Yea, sure, I realized it had been quite some time, but logging in here I saw my last post was February!!! 3 months!!! I guess that just goes to show how life carries on... I've pretty much been on auto-pilot the past few months, which explains why I haven't had the time... or the inclination... to write. Things are looking up. A lot has changed. Hopefully along with the changes I'll feel compelled to write again. A short and sweet/ to the point post.  Just a reminder to myself not to lose myself...

As a mom this is a very real dilemma.  And after a few years, and a few more... you find you're repeating the same old same old.  Then the kids get sick of eating the same things to the point that they don't want to eat those meals. Ever. Again. My kids once pointed out to me I was making the same meal every week, even to the day.  Monday Spag Bol, Tuesday fish fingers and chips.... I've made sure I try to avoid doing that again.

Have you ever wondered how 2 people can cook the same meal, follow the same directions and come out with different tasting dishes... One example from a page in my life... I make a mean Spaghetti Bolognese. Well, I like to think so.  The kids always enjoy it too.  I had an ex who asked me to teach him how to make it. I showed him step by step. And more than once. Yet every time his came out tasting really different. Sweet. I struggled to eat it. It didn't make sense. Mine always has a heavy tomato taste. So again we'd go through the steps. And again it would come out sweet.  So I started questioning... "Did you add anything? Sugar? Chutney? Tomato Paste" Nope, was always the answer... So again I mentioned, but you should be adding sugar after the tomato paste... "Oh I don't add tomato paste"... Ok, but do you still add sugar then? "Nope".

I'm sure we've all had some funny experiences while driving... I guess some not very funny ones too.  It amazes me how some days we can drive around and not encounter much, and other days you wonder if it's just you, or everyone else...

So following my "pity post" a few days ago (which it really was not), I will confirm that not only had I had a bad day, but a bad week.We all have them. I will again remind anyone (or inform new readers), I suffer from depression/ Adrenal Fatigue. It takes everything out of me, and reduces me a ridiculous mess.  I currently do want to socialize at all and will find any excuse not to mingle. I'm constantly tired. Life has very little meaning. I know it will pass, but for now this is how I feel.  I know how to deal with it, even though I get thoroughly overwhelmed with everything.

In general I'm much happier these days.  Busier. Hectic, in fact. Life waits for no-one. This week I'm having a particular bad week.  I'm feeling terribly down. Everything is getting me down. Artist unknown. If you know of the artist, please let me know so I can rightfully credit them

I think my hair has been every colour for the past week. I love experimenting with my hair. Luckily I'm that person who knows that it's only hair - it grows back. A few weeks ago I cut it very short. Along with that, I coloured it bright purple.  I loved it. It suited me.  Then everywhere I went I saw people with purple hair.  I got sick of it very quickly (never mind the fact that it's extremely high maintenance).
