A Simple Life

 

         Today's prompt ponders the question: what does a simple life look like to me? That's easy. Having my kids and my pets with me, in my home, all of our needs met, healthy, and happy. That is all I really want. I don't need a fancy house, I love my small place. I don't need a lot of money, just enough to not have to worry about anything. I don't need people to entertain me, I love the company of my kids and pets, they make me happy. 

          Most people would want more, and they would not be wrong to do so, I myself do occasionally, but since I don't have lots, I am still happy with what I have.

Happy National Dog Day

 

          These are my two little girls :) They are amazing. They bring so much love, loyalty, and companionship to my life. They are always so happy to see me. They give unconditional love. They follow me everywhere because they want to be around me LOL. They have the sweetest and funniest personalities. I do not know what I would do without them in my life.

           I got Honeybee (the one in front) when I moved into my home. I made sure to have a fence put up first so she could play outside. She was so tiny when I brought her home, I had to put a bell collar on her so I could find her at times. She is very jealous of the other pets around me. Not mean, but she will always come over to make sure they know I am her human LOL the tiny dog in the back is Sunnybee. She came a year later. She was so scared the first day. She would only eat if she was up on the table next to us. I made her some scrambled eggs LOL she is always snuggling under blankets. She doesn't just walk, she prances everywhere LOL it is so cute.

What Would You Do?

 

          The question of the day is: what would you do with an extra $50,000? That is a lot of money. Not enough to pay off my student loans, so not going towards that, but enough to pay off my car and some credit card debt. That would be my logical, responsible answer. For fun I would most likely do something to my backyard like screen it all in and maybe add a jacuzzi. Something that adds value to my home, but is still completely frivolous. 

          I am not enjoying my dental work. It doesn't hurt thankfully, but it is annoying. I miss my morning coffee. So tired right now. I also am hungry LOL too afraid to chew anything. I might make me some scrambled eggs. My tongue will not stay out of the socket, I am worried I will mess up something in there. I keep telling myself the dentist has to know people will be fiddling with it, so they suture accordingly. Only good part is I have doctor's orders to just relax LOL something I am very good at.

Toothless and Now a Mutant

 

          Weekend did not go as planned. I somehow managed to splint a tooth in half eating some chips. How I was not screaming in pain is a mystery. So emergency visit to the dentist this morning. They pulled out my busted tooth and put in a graft made from a cow into the space. It is supposed to help with healing and if I ever at some point want to get an implant. So now I am part cow MOOOOOOO. They didn't even let me keep the tooth for the tooth fairy. I could have used that money for the bill.

          My son is awesome and hilarious. I was freaked out after dentist visit and woke him up to go get my antibiotics. I also wanted some sweet tea to drink, mashed potatoes, and soup to eat today. He comes home with 2 gallons of tea, six tubs of mashed potatoes, and 7 cans of soup LOL this is definitely going to be a weird diet this week LOL. Worst part about the whole experience...NO COFFEE FOR THE NEXT FEW DAYS!!! 

Intuition

 

          Today's prompt asks: what does my intuition tell me?  I do not fully understand intuition, so I had to look it up. It seems it is doing what your gut tells you to do, basically an instinct. I have that, but I never listen to it. I tend to think things through and go with the logical choice. I am not brave enough to believe in my intuition.

          Oh so tired LOL I seem to be that a lot. Last day of my weekend, I need to get a few things done, mainly my daughter's school. Ugh I hate having to do things. I would much rather do what I choose to do. Doesn't help that it is stormy outside. Makes me want to go just cuddle up and chill.

Don't Eat That!!!

 

          Today's prompt: What advice does future you have? Best one I can think of is don't eat that. So many days I start out with the best of intentions of controlling my calorie intake, and I do good, then BAM, night time hits and I lose all control and go to bed feeling horrible. So best advice, don't eat that. It may taste yummy now, but later, it will make you feel horrible.

          OMG I am worn out today. I managed to go to Aquatica with my kids for a couple of hours, and then came home and mowed the back yard LOL. I physically exhausted myself. But the backyard looks good again, and I felt no guilt going to bed LOL.

          Today is going to be spent getting my daughter caught up in school. It is hard getting back into that groove again. We got very lazy over the summer brain wise. I finished my school for the week, now it is her turn.

Sixty & Sassy

 

          The prompt for today asks: who am I five years from now? Yikes, I will be 60 years old then. An old lady (groaning over here). Hopefully I will still have a sharp mind and a working body. I really want to be healthier by then and shocking everybody that I am actually that old LOL.

          Today I am back in school. This semester I am taking Deviant Behavior and Forensic Psychology. Sounds like I have issues LOL. I just thought the would be fun. First week is just the basic blah blah intros. Those I have done already so I am free until next week.

          Waiting for my kids to get up. We are going to Aquatica today when they do. Sunny and hot, so it should be fun. Yesterday I managed to stay awake long enough to go to SeaWorld LOL Yay me!!! if I am going to make the swimming thing, I need breakfast first, so I am off to find food.
