Missed me?

Hey! Have you missed me?
I promise that one day I'll be able to manage both of my blogs...

..BUT...

for now...I can't.


So head over to OurFairyTaleIsNow.blogspot.com and follow our family blog there!!

I'll be back writing here soon.

See you over there! 

Because now, you see....

So perhaps in my last post....

...from over 4 months ago....

I wasn't careful enough about what I wished for.....

........because now, you see....

I now have way too much to write about.

And I am grateful.

Noor and I will be sealed

for time and for all eternity on

March 9th, 2012 in the

Holy Temple of the Lord..

And we could not be happier!

Scream! Chicken! Coupe! Cluck!

Sometimes..the problem with a blog is that sometimes you have nothing to write.

Writer's block...
....more like writer's indestructible wall of death...
complete with barbed wire fences, 24 hour security, and 4 ninjas (6 of which you do not see)..

Or perhaps, you have nothing to write because all of the topics available within your head-space are in deep relation to school, which you have no desire to write about... and you also recognize that your last two blog posts while yes, quite distant from each other in the time category, are still far too un-distant-y with the school thing.

School thing. Vomit thing. Same thing.

So, in the interest of avoiding yet another paragraph or two about nauseating/ stomach turning topics such as the one listed above, I write this. I am 2 mini paragraphs and at least 5 incomplete sentences in and I have already managed to use the wrong "write" 5 out of the 6 times I typed it...And it seems that alllllll of a sudden...my blog post about not-being-about-school is completely about school.

Lovely.

You know what's going to make it worse too...is that there will be no picture attached to this increasingly failing blurb of ramblings I have going here..this is the part where I apologize.

Now you're at the part when I do not apologize for not putting an image somewhere within these subject-verb combinations and other grammatical things that people use to form sentences.

If you've read this whole thing, completely...and without being drawn in by any such exciting pictures..bless you.

You have some serious patience...
and a keen ability to get through even the most dull of content...
Way to be awesome!

Maybe next time I'll wow you all with a wonderfuly beautiful piece about how completely awesome my life is! Because truly...it is. I am so blessed.

I love my life.
I love the people in it.
I am so blessed.

And all of a sudden, this post not-about-school-but-totally-about-school-and-about-nothing-even-though-it-is-technically-something....

..may be about something after all.

Sir, I'll take anything without the magic...

Every year...

..new notebooks and fresh folders...(and apparently alliteration)..

...magically make me WANT to be back in school...

I wonder if the magic is included in the price.

What if I couldn't afford the magic????

"Umm, excuse me...do you have any discouragingly hopeless notebooks?

Uninspiring highlighters?

Less-than-charming rulers...pens....pencils?

Sir, I'll take anything without the magic"

"I'm sorry, we only sell magical supplies at this store..maybe you should try the Forlorn File Folder Superstore. I hear they're having a sale on their despairingly un-magical school supply line."

Yikes. I shudder the thought.

I'm grateful for the magic...

and I'm almost ready for school to start...

.............mostly just so that I can get it over with....

buuuuut, potato potaato , right?

Just keep swimming.

A not-so-terminal-diagnosis-on-the-mend.

I seem to be suffering from.....

"Pre-School Stress".

It feels pretty much like regular school stress.

Allow me to explain.

Symptoms of PSS include but are not limited to:

-Feeling like you have way much to do, with far too little time.

-Feeling poor, when you're not...yet.

-Feeling like you can't go anywhere...vacation..etc..because you just have "so much to do".

-You irritated when people ask you to do things for them..again because you just have "so much to do".

-Constant fatigue, with no correlation the number of hours slept.

-Frequent loss of appetite.

-Having the intense desire to skip over a significantly large chunk of time..say 4 months..?(or perhaps the next 15months??)

-Missing out on summer care-free-ness for no reason at all.

Today..I ate a piece of bread. Plain bread. And it brought me back to my 9+ hour school days (in a far too vivid way) and the fact that, most often, my lunch on those days consists of...plain bread. (Hoorah for 6 minutes of extra sleep!!! 5:30 comes so early..)

If you are suffering from any of the above symptoms, you may be suffering from PSS. Don't worry. There is help!

THE CURE.

An apple a day,

lots of fluids,

plenty of rest,

a road trip with your mom,

lots of family,

and loves from the sweetest two-year-old on this planet.

May need to repeat regimen 3 weeks later. Plan accordingly.

School starts 3 weeks from Thursday, and this jumpstart on my stress level is un-welcomed. This program worked for me..it can work for you !

You should consult a physician before beginning any stress-relief program.

I am not a licensed physician..(but I do play one on TV)

Life Lesson #132

I don't have much to say....

It's nothing, really, at all.....

But I do have one thing to mention....

WHO knew deodorant would melt in the car?! Seriously.

=HOOT=

In my world, Happiness is....

..finding a note on your car in the morning from your best friend.

..having a closet full of clean clothes after a full day of laundry.

..knowing that Sunday comes after Saturday, and that Saturday is tomorrow.

..finding sheet music you forgot you had..

(in my world it's akin to finding $5 in the shorts I haven't worn since last summer)

..having your 18mo old niece blow kisses through your computer screen.

..being content that your grades will not be perfect for one semester.

..feeling love for people you have never actually met.

That is what happiness is.. at this time. in my world.
