When did the pod people sneak in and switch out my body with that of a ninety eleven year old woman...
My back hurts, my feet hurt, my elbows hurt and my hips hurt.
It feels like I should of done something I shouldn't have done, but all I did was wash dishes for little people.
I think when I was watching General Hospital and playing with llamas and donkeys and pigs I somehow got old and fat, because when I was filing fingernails I never hurt this bad.
Well, maybe I did, but if I did I don't remember and I also think when I was polishing fingernails I was thin and blond.
The thin part might not be quite right, but they're my memories so I can remember thin if I want and I know for a fact I was thinner than this and it's not that I even necessarily want to be thin again, but I don't want to be fat and achy and old either so I wonder what I should do.
Maybe I should be stretching and walking and eating fewer cookies but not no cookies.
I could do that.
Wyatt is loving school but hasn't made very many friends yet.
I hate worrying about that kind of stuff but I do.
So far he is really into his school work though so maybe I'll just try to enjoy that and worry about the social networking part later.
You know if he was in sports or whatever else kids are into he wouldn't have such a hard time making friends, but being new to this district and being so artsy craftsy makes it hard and I don't want him to be teased.
Maybe we should have let him stay at the other school, but that was such a bad deal but maybe it's better to teach your kids to work through the hard times but that school REALLY sucked bad but in my dads day when you had to walk to school up hill both ways in the snow all year your parents never switched schools because the other kids were little a holes.
You would have stayed and learned to fight and stand up for yourself.
Gawd, I'm a horrible parent.
Great.
Now I'm a horrible parent and old and fat and achy too.
Whatever, I'll have a snickerdoole and some Tylenol with me next cup of coffee that I load up with cream and sugar and buy Wyatt something nice after school today.
That's how we roll here on the farm ❤
Peas.
Oh stop it. You're not a terrible parent and you're not old and fat either. The achy, well, sorry but I can't argue with that one :( Switch to ibuprofen, better than tylenol. Have a great day lovie!
ReplyDeleteRemember how happy you BOTH were to get him out of that school? Being a teenager is hard enough, and it's a mom's job to help keep it from being totally overwhelming.
ReplyDeleteSo, you done good.
I'm sorry you are achy. I think you'll get over it after a few weeks when you get used to working again. :)
You are NOT a bad parent!! Back in the day of barefoot snow walking we didn't have a choice of where we went to school. You did good moving Wy to a place he likes and an envirnment where he can learn.
ReplyDeleteStanding on your feet all day washing dishes for little people will make your feet, knees, hips, back, shoulders & neck hurt for sure. Get some really good running shoes, they have great support.
I am a WAY worse parent than you! Ian is 4 1/2 and when I went to enter him into preschool I swore on my son's LIFE he had all his shots and I PROMISED to bring his paperwork the next day and then I found out he hadn't had ANY shots or a well-child check up since he was 9 months old!!! I think they lost my records cuz there's no WAY I am that old and forgetful... now, what were we talking about...?
ReplyDeleteUmmmmm I remember when you were blonde AND skinny but hey I been down and up and down--not to worry--just stay healthy and the bad parent thing??? well ya know what ya did wrong -- when they are older they will tell you !!! ha ha ha -- xoxo -- you must be a fun Mom tho as you do so many artsy farsy thing s!! now that is more than I did being the super cleaner --perfect wife thing !! no wonder I pooped out !
