Being in a funk

It's never fun to find yourself down. Feeling like poo and wondering if you are even a good person.

That is where I have found myself this week. I've felt like a mountain of crap has fallen on my head and that I can't really blame anyone but myself.

Of course it's not true. Shit happens.

But that is when I start to get all stressed out. Thinking about all the possible what if's and tossing and turning and not being able to sleep at night.

It sucks.

But I'm working to pull myself up and dust myself off. Get back to life as usual.

So..............................................................................................

My thumb is black and blue from closing it in the car door last week. Everyone keeps telling me, "You know you are going to lose that nail right?" Yeah so I've heard. But at least it doesn't hurt anymore. It just looks really bad.

Little Bit had a bad tooth that we finally just had to have pulled. This was actually the start of my stress at the beginning of the week. Wednesday they pulled the tooth and she is back to her old self and feeling GREAT!

Attila bounced back from strep and is doing wonderful! She did drop a few pounds, but she is working to put that back on.

And Ms. Hara is working on a Novel. Yep. A novel.

See, that kid loves to write. All the time writing stories with her friends and writing stories on her own that her friends take home to read because they really enjoy her writing. Then I was reading the Red Neck Diva's blog post about NaNoWriMo (National Novel Writing Month) and it hit me! I bet that my Hara would LOVE something like that!

So I sent the link to her and by the time I got home Tuesday night she already had over 2,000 words. And she just keeps rocken it man! As of last night she had 8,000 words! Now you should know that this thing is suppose to be a 50,000 word novel! She has a long way to go, but she will get there. I have faith in her. And thanks again Diva for blogging about this!

Oh, and also because of the wonderful grades Ms. Hara brought home on her report card, we are taking her to the Zombie concert Sunday night! She is so excited. And I'm getting there too. But a great loud concert might be just what I need to feel like myself again and get back to enjoying life.
