It's the first official day of spring break and I am officially the meanest mom e.v.e.r.!!! I know some of you think you can compete for that title, but to my daughter, I have it hands down.
After telling them that they needed to finish the kitchen from last night, pans and counters and pick up their mess - I was told that - FINE, WE'LL JUST SPEND OUR WHOLE SPRING BREAK CLEANING!!! WE WON'T GET TO DO ANYTHING FUN!!! I said " you say that like it's my fault you didn't do your jobs - and you pretty much took away any desire I had to do something fun."
It really is my goal in life to suck all the fun out of any given potentially fun situation. I may have yelled some of those words - 'cause my husband asked if I felt better after yelling...whatever!
Do you want the good news or the bad news first? Okay, we'll go with the bad.
1. I have a toothache and no dentist, and no dental insurance. Ka-ching!
2. Bad Fibromyalgia week. Always comes after doing too much, and having fun on a trip was WAY too much.
3. My husband got laid off last week. Knew it was coming, but still sucks! He was actually kept on longer than most - but still sucks!
Okay, it really isn't that bad, but a toothache makes everything seem way worse!
Now for the good.
1. There is sunshine in my soul today...maybe not in my soul because it might still be filled with darkness, but definitely outside. Yay!!
2. Did I tell you it's sunny today? 'Cause it is...I don't care about the pain thing, and the poor thing, there's sunshine and that makes it all okay. (if there was beach, it'd be perfect!)
3. We're re-doing my moms craft room so I can put all my new bookbinding skills (not to be confused with my ninja skills) to use and make fun things. Lots of new shelves and a cabinet, and my mom out of town so I can do it the way I want!
4. Even when I'm feeling dark and in pain, I have blogger friends I can stalk that always make me smile, and laugh, and feel like I'm not alone (thanks so much!!). That and the knowledge that Project Runway will be back this summer!
5. Lest you think I'm a total whiner (which oft times I am), please note that the good list is longer than the bad.
Oh, and by the way, did I tell you - it's sunny out today!!

You have fibromyalgia? So do I! Small world. We have had lots of sun the past two weeks but a storm is moving in and I am really feeling it! I know what you mean about the suffering after taking a trip--I have one of my own coming up. Which, by the way, are you close enough to Provo/Orem to come and let me meet you? April 25th?

I am so sorry about your husband getting laid off.
And I just don't understand how all over the country, spring break is at various times for the entire month of March and April.
Oh my goodness girl. Here's a huge hug. I'm so sorry about your toothache and your fibromyalgia and your husband getting laid off.
STINKS!!!!
I'm so glad spring is finally springing though. The sun does make everything better. You are just like me, the weather really impacts your mood.
I have missed you!!!!!!!
Oh Val...I like you I like you...your daughter sounds just like my daughter, in fact that was the same stuff she threw at me when I told them that was what they need to do the first three days of their Spring Break. I did have a toothache a couple of days before the break but I was kind of lucky it didn't stay the whole break.
I am sooo sorry about your husband's getting laid off work and your fibromyalgia..I know that really sucks when one has that.
And you really rock for a mean mom!! ahahah...any mom or woman for that matter who can look on the total bright side of things because of the weather rocks in my book.
So here's a hug for ya...take it easy.
I agree with everyone else.
I have fibro also, at least that is what I have been told.
And I have darkness in my soul also, but I am hoping the master electrician otherwise know as the Savior, light of the world, can help me in that department.
I am in Utah for the week, and the sun today was definitely better than the snow on Saturday morning.
Hang in there. You can make it and things will get better.
I know that hugs hurt with fibromyalgia....but know that I want to give you one! I hate hurting! I have headaches daily...sometimes they turn to migraines, but I start the day with a headache....FUN!
Our spring break is over and I am going on a little trip "up north". I hope it's warm, or my bones will ache! (See, now I'm whining! hahaha)
OMGosh! You're a Rock Band drummer too? I think I love you :) We must have a cyber drum off sometime. I hear that helps tooth aches, fibromyalgia and lay-offs.
No, but seriously, sorry to hear about your husbands lay-off. Hope that sunshine will penetrate your soul ASAP!!!
Sorry that your hubby got laid off. Hope your tooth is feeling better. Ice always helped me when I have a bad tooth ache. Hope you feel better soon.
