Permission to PLAY!
Saturday, May 29, 2010
Sometimes, as adults, I think we forget alot of things. No, I don't mean memory loss...and no, I don't mean things like *ahem* putting your purse on top of the car and driving off (we will save that for another post), or looking for your glasses and they are on top of your head (been there, done that as well.)
What I am talking about, is just having pure, plain FUN!
Do you remember the days that our biggest worry was where to set up the Barbie Townhouse? Or which friend we were going to go to first after we got done with the homework? How about which teen idol we were SURE that we were going to marry? Then there were the times of being totally carefree- riding bikes for hours on end. I could for hours, on a ten speed bike, on that teeny, tiny seat and my butt didn't hurt! I didn't worry about a thing- nope, not one worry. Playing frisbee in the park, going to the beach after hours, just to sit on a special rock and write poems, or climbing a dune.
So, I am saying, we need to give ourselves permission to just have fun sometimes. It's ok to forget the bills, forget the things that we feel we should be doing, like housework. Anytime you hear that voice in your head saying "I should be doing..." while you are having a bit of fun...instead say " I give myself permission to have fun today. The bills can wait. The laundry won't combust into flames. The toilet won't run away if I don't clean it right this instant."
Go and have some fun. It's allowed! Really, it is~
You will feel so much better, refreshed, energized and whoever you are having the fun with will love it too- especially the kids!
If you can, maybe come back and share the fun you had. I would love to hear about it.

When we didn't have remotes
Thursday, May 6, 2010
So, after a year, we finally hooked up the surround sound. Wait, let me change that...he, hooked up the surround sound. Why? Because a friend stopped by with Avatar
What happened to when we actually GOT UP and turned things on? Now, we have ten remotes and even a remote to turn on the remotes! I didn't say a word. Yes, I didn't giggle, well, on the outside anyway. I calmly went to the machine, found the "on" button, and flicked it into position ...guess what? We soundly had beautiful surround sound! Imagine that!?
Of course, later I did find the remote, but I now wonder, if I didn't get up and turn it on, would we have seen the movie?

The 7 Menopausal Dwarfs
Sunday, May 2, 2010
The first to arrive was Itchy. I developed this itch on my right calf that was so irritating, I wanted to scratch the skin right off my body.
Then Bitchy came to my door. No longer was my PMS contained to one or two days a month--it felt like constant PMS.
Then I would swing from Bitchy to Weepy ... for God's sake, what was wrong with me?
Ding-dong ... It's the middle of the night and Sweaty has crawled into bed with me. Oh, yes, Sweaty brought embarrassing hot flashes and introduced me to night sweats where it seemed as if a faucet had been attached between my breasts.
Of course Sweaty brought about Sleepy because I was tired all the time. I would wake up so many times in the night and not be able to get back to sleep.
Bloated crept in slowly, my once-svelte figure got thick through the middle section, even though I was following my weight-loss program that had worked so well for so many years!
I can't quite remember when Forgetful arrived, but one day my brain stopped working. I considered myself a pretty focused woman until Forgetful came and I could not keep a coherent thought in my brain. "Am I getting Alzheimer's?" I wondered.
Last, All-Dried-Up slowly encroached upon my happy marriage. This was probably the most unpleasant of the dwarf family. Sex was no longer on the top of my list ... or on my list at all. My husband would give me that knowing look, and I would think, "Frankly, I'd rather have a smoothie."
