This photo cracked me up. I don't know about you, but just seeing all the Christmas stuff in the stores kind of stresses me out. It makes me think of all of the things I need to buy and all the money I need to spend. I know, that's not the meaning of Christmas at all, but when in a retail environment it's where your mind goes. And yes, it is only October. In fact, Halloween is just a few days away. I don't even have my Halloween decorations up. Maybe I should do that today....there's a thought. I haven't bought my candy, yet, either. Usually I have that done early. We like to do the regular size candy bars, but that's probably not in the stars this year. I used to buy them from Costco, but here isn't one near here. I haven't seen any big candy sales, either. Looks like the little crappy candy this year. It may be a good thing, since we live in a good size residential neighborhood.
I'm not feeling 100% yet, but I feel loads better. In fact, I even got out with the fam today to a Halloween deal at the Nature preserve here in town. It was really pretty cool. It was free to get into, and they had lots to do. We took a really cool hay ride, and the boys played all sorts of games. It was really a great time. I felt good to be a participant in my own life after feeling so crappy for so many days.
A friend of mine text me today, thanking me for recommending: "Fat, Sick, and Nearly Dead." It's really a great documentary on how food effects our health and wellness. I may need to watch it again today. I need to light a fire under my ass, fo' sho. She wants to do a program together, but I know I'm not ready this week. This week will prove to be exceptionally stressful. I'm making steps toward turning things around, though. I just know myseslf well enough to know that stress and my diet usually aren't bff's. So, I'll keep preparing myself for next week.
My hubby and I are now camped out on the sofa watching the Cowboys play. He's a lifetime Cowboys fan. I can take 'em or leave 'em, but I am pulling for them today, as I picked them to win. Plus, it's nice just to hang out with him. He worked a lot this week, and I was sick, so we didn't get a lot of quality time together. I'm lying here with my legs on his lap. It's the things like this in life that make me happiest. Just feeling so comfortable being with the man I married. Sometimes it's so easy. The easiest thing in the world. Too bad, life throws us the stresses it does in relation to parenting, money, time, blah, blah, blah to complicate even the easiest of loves at times. But for now, I'll enjoy what we have, what our day is, what our life is.
I hope your weekend has treated you well. Been thinking of you guys. Love and miss my friends in a big way.
