Oh, life is good

The bank account is no longer overdrawn, lol. That's good huh? There is tea brewing in the sun on the kitchen table. LOVE that. Such a simple thing, but it makes me happy. The weather has been simply STUNNING lately, very un-July-like. The house is a shambles but today I have the energy and the drive to do something about it. I think I'll throw open the curtains and turn on some music and get the kids involved too. Right now they're watching Barbie and the 12 Dancing Princesses which is a movie I HATE simply because of the story. I feel so bad for those girls and the evil stepmother, lol. I know, I know, it's not real. Zella, at this very moment, is trying to climb in between me and the computer screaming MOVE YOUR HAND. I guess I should take that as a sign to wrap up this post and get something done. Of course, in all her screaming, she's also woken Oak. Such is the way of the world in the West house.

Oh, I was going to blog about a dream I had last night. I don't remember it all, but there was this party in a giant park. I was there, don't remember the kids being there, or dh either. There was this big thing that looked like a giant boom-box radio. It was playing music, loud music. Then the music stopped and everyone stopped dancing and talking and looked at it. The top opened up and inside was a woman, not attractive, very homely looking with long hair in no particular style and glasses and a dress. She was saying something and I couldn't hear her so I began to walk towards her. Then from the top of the boom box long strands of lightning came out and were shocking everyone. They would shock everyone and then stop for a moment. Then they'd shock everyone again. I would find something to hide behind and that would keep the shocks from being so painful and I was trying to run away. Then something woke me up and out of the dream. Winnie had a nightmare too about Finn getting his finger pinched in an elevator door. I am going to clean bedrooms and change sheets to see if we can't make for better dreams tonight.

I've been yelling a lot lately and the kids are picking up on my attitude and frustrations. I'm going to try to curb the yelling and see if I can't find something else to do instead. I'm also going to try to find time for me. I need some me time. Dh needs some US time too. We need a date night, kids need some fun. It's been a long time since we've felt somewhat normal.
