So Sick, sick, sick of things!

I'm in a bit of a cranky mood today. It's better than yesterday was, I was scary-cranky yesterday. I did NOT model good behavior for my children. I was whiney, crabby, selfish and cranky. Just plain ole cranky. This is what a nasty head cold will do to a mama. I'm feeling better today, not 100%, but still improved. I'm just hoping that this cold is really going away and not just takinga day off only to come back double force tomorrow. That's what our weather has been doing lately and I've had enough.


It's April 9th and we have snow on the ground and another snow storm coming on Thursday. Now, I lived in NH for a good 20 years of my life or so, I realize that it's New England and we have long winters. BUT, what's killing me is the week of temps in the 50s, sun, rain, mud, that "it's almost spring" scent in the air - you know, the smell of mud, leaves, grass and usually a woodstove going somewhere. So just as we're getting used to this weather we get hit with a severe temperature drop and snow warnings. Just pick a damn season and go with it please!!!!


So, I thought about washing and storing the boys' snow suits and winter coats two weeks ago, but I'm not going to do it. Maybe by May 9th I can really think about it. Better make that June, just to be on the safe side. I'm going to go make some tea now and try to keep this cold moving out of my body.

Positive Push

We've had a pretty good day, so I feel a little silly sitting here feeling sad. I'm not 100% sure why I do. Our little family is ok right now, the boys are well (although Nate's got a runny nose and Ben is coughing but nothing major) and Tim & I are good. Well, Tim is stressing about his midterm this week, which is understandable, but other wise we're fine. I think that I'm feeling sad for friends of ours, and oddly enough not for anything specific. I just know that we have a few friends who are not having such a good day or time right now and I feel for them. I'm not sure that there is a lot that I can do to help, especially considering I don't know what specifically is ailing our friends (and I don't need to) I just know that they are hurting and I wish they weren't. SO, that said, I'm doing what I always do when I feel sad, or worried or sick or anything negative, I'm sending out vibes of the opposite feeling. I'm thinking of my friends and sending them good vibes - as simple as that may sound - I'm sending thoughts that say We care about you, we hope you're ok, we're here for you, hugs, etc. Whatever pops in at the moment. I'm sure plenty of people might pray but seeing as we're still learning about this Wicca thing and trying to figure out our path into it, I feel more comfortable sending thoughts.

So, if you're reading this and you have a second just put some good energy out there. I know some people might consider this corny or simplistic, BUT I really feel like it works. At the very least, it can't hurt to think something positive and put that out in the universe. Think how what could happen if we all sent out a moment of positive energy each day. I know this much, it makes me feel better even for that small moment, and that's positive in itself.
