Lemonade 5¢
And, here is my
list of lemonade over the past 24 hours…....
- Spent the night at the ER with SydKid. All is good and I know I was successful making lemonade when she asked me earlier today “Mom, do you ever freak out when it comes to me and EmmaGirl?” Hospitals are scary places and keeping my cool helped her sort of (not really) stay calm herself.
- Didn’t finish my daily activities yesterday due to the unexpected “field trip” to the ER, but that is ok. I know I can catch up and get it done…..Lemonade baby! Besides, sleep is so overrated….
- EmmaGirl has been getting bullied at school lately and I thought I had handled it and all was behind us, but today I find out that is not the case. At first, I was real calm and mature about the problem, but tonight Mama Bear reared her ugly head (with lots of really bad words….yikes) and wants to protect her baby cub in the form of some 6th grade ass whooping. Real mature I know, but if you are a parent, you know what I mean. Right about now, I am working on reaching deep and low for some restraint, patience & self-control. Keep your fingers crossed that I make lemonade tomorrow when I talk with the powers to be at school.
Lemonade….sometimes you have to work
really hard to make it sweet.
Other times, it just comes sweet.
Like getting two clients in one day out
of nowhere…….
Sweet!
Wow, sorry about Syd and glad she is ok now! And yep, sleep is so overrated. Besides, you might get some crazy (but good) ideas when you haven't had enough sleep! As for bullying, I don't even have any kids and I want to go beat up those awful bullies! Grrrrrr!
ReplyDeletep.s. There is a fabulous serious of books called Annie Stories (and More Annie Stories) written by a psychologist Doris Brett. They were written in the 1980's and are a bit dorky but I'm pretty sure there is one about bullying. And they help get some conversations started... might be worth buying a used copy for a penny plus shipping. :-)
Great blog...stay positive.
