\"\"<\/a> Tough day yesterday…my darling little Pip fell down the stairs and frightened both herself and me beyond words. She had left me in my bedroom to go and find “Ke<\/span>-Ke<\/span> and Ab-Ab” as she calls her sisters. The next thing I heard was Thud! Thud! Thud! and then silence and a weak little “Mom.” The terror as I ran to find her lying face down at the bottom of the stairs. She cried and cried, Thank-God, as I realized she didn’t seem to have any major injuries. But I was a mess. I called Peter at work and told him to come home as I had lost my mind and couldn’t think straight out of sheer terror.
Today is a busy day preparing for our up and coming camping trip:bookings, buying tent and equipment. I will take Tabs biking again to get her skills up to snuff.
Fighting to get into a creative writing class as an elective in the fall–advanced Novel writing. Perfect for me as I can pursue my fiction writing and my literacy masters at the same time–won’t life be grand.
Crashed in a new way–came to a new sense of calm that has escaped me for many, many years and really asked myself why? Why am I always so driven to go, learn, do, achieve, achieve! I have lost the fine art of doing nothing and being Zen. As zen as I try to live, I realize me being zen is rare. But this is a new realization and I am learning from it and going to explore it further. Perhaps I can slow down–maybe not have my art show until I am ready instead of forcing myself to complete so many paintings this summer. It is too high pressure. Ever since my girls got out of school, I realize I am too busy to even think straight. Summer involves my 3 baby girls–me being with them. To try and achieve so much in the way of personal work is causing me a lot of grief.
Saw “Indiana Jones’ last night. It was what I expected: light action flick. And I disagree with some nay sayers<\/span> out there: Harrison Ford is NOT too old. He was amazing in the flick. Man, that guy survived an atomic bomb inside a fridge for G’s sake! Kate Blanchet<\/span> however, was a disappointment. For a usually gifted actress, she sure couldn’t nail the Russian accent worth squat.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
