"Legend has it that when you can't sleep at night,
it's because you're awake in someone else's dream..."


So really, whoever you are, I'm flattered, but I could desperately use a little shut-eye.

Day 171 {Dad} - Papa Humor

My dad's sense of humor is one of his greatest qualities. Always keen to tell a joke or play a prank, he's happiest when he realizes that his offspring have followed in his footsteps. So here's to you dad...the nut that started the family tree! Happy Father's Day!

It's hard to hear the music through all the static and sometimes we start to forget the sound of our own voice.

Haven't you heard? Depressed is the new happy.

Picture
Day 176 {Closed} - Case Closed

Took me all day to figure out what to do for today's "Closed" theme...consider this one solved!

Day 177 {Perceived} - New Slip 'n Slide

After a few failed attempts and several sore rear ends, they finally got the brilliant idea to cushion the landing.

We survived our first week of summer vacation. A couple scraped knees, a few tears shed (mainly my own), another rib out of place, and a dozen or so sibling squabbles that needed a referee. Not bad. Only 11 weeks to go. I got this. Really.

Hang on a sec, the kids need a snack, I'll be right back...

Good, now where was I? Oh yeah, summer vacation! This is gonna be great.

Rib pain is like a broken heart...
You may look alright from the outside, but EVERY BREATH HURTS.


From where I'm sitting right now, I can see all the weeds and overgrowth in my garden that I haven't been able to work on due to my neck and back issues this spring. To say I'm getting depressed would be an understatement. I pulled one handful of weeds the other day and then decided that I better not push my luck...but it didn't matter, I still had a rib out of place by Thursday.

And another by the following Wednesday...I felt that one go on Monday. The unmistakable pop and burn in my shoulder. Damn. 

I'm starting to wonder if this is ever going to get better. I'm to the point where I'm afraid to sneeze. Like one false move might cause me to split down the middle. Even as I type this, I can feel the ache and burn between my shoulder blades which is a pretty good indication that something's not right. I'll know for sure tomorrow, but judging by the amount of pain I'm in and the fact that my clavicle is jutting out more than usual, I'm guessing it's 2 ribs this time around.

I'm in a constant rotation of applying heat, stretching, icing and laying flat on my back whenever possible. I squeeze work in when I can (I've fallen dreadfully behind), and I've been relegated to watching all my favorite activities instead of participating in them.

So my Humpty Dumpty saga continues.

Day 157 {Round} - Well Rounded

Made a fresh batch of oatmeal raisin cookies for the end of the season lacrosse party.

Picture
Day 158 {Reflection} - Reflection of a Summer Night
Picture
Day 159 {My Mood} - Weather (or Not)

Funny how the weather messes with my mood.

Picture
Day 160 {Ordinary} - Just Your Average Day

So yeah, just an ordinary day around here...Sunshine, blue sky, my boy "graduated" from 5th grade, I had another rib out of place...you know, nothing special.

Picture
Day 161 {Portrait} - Riding in Style

Hitched a ride on a fire truck for the last day of 2nd grade...This is how we roll

Picture
Day 162 {A Sign} - Decisive Moment

The unmistakable sign that summer vacation has officially begun.

Picture
Day 163 {Shine} - Everglow

There's a light that you give me when I'm in shadow. There's a feeling you give me, an everglow.

Memorial Day weekend. Sunshine, friends, picnics, parades and cookies. Gotta love the cookies...
Picture
Day 150 {Share} - Taste Tester

Someone had to test the cookies for our Memorial Day cookout tomorrow...she gave them two "yums" up!

Picture
Day 151 {Memory} - Memorial Day

Waiting for the parade to start. Making memories.

Picture
Day 152 {Animal} - Chip Shot

These little buggers are taking over our yard and garden. Can't say I'm a big fan.

Picture
Day 153 {Me} - Windows to your Soul

Do you feel like a puzzle, you can't find your missing piece?

Picture
Day 154 {Gift} - Gift of Music

Love that my boy has such a love of music. Music has always played an important roll in my life, hope my kids feel the same.

Picture
Day 155 {Inside} - My Inside's on the Outside

Funny that my theme today was "Inside" and I hardly spent a minute of my day there. Instead, I took advantage of the beautiful weather and spent the morning helping out at field day, followed by a 3 mile walk, a bike ride back to school to pick up the kids and another walk in the evening. I did manage to squeeze some work in there too, but I took the computer outside...so much for the "inside" theme.

Picture
Day 156 {Makes Me Smile} - History Repeats

Couldn't help smiling while playing catch with my daughter this weekend. Watching her in her pretty dress with a ball glove in hand, just reminded me so much of myself at her age.
