Sour grapes

For Jim's "When you are going to blog again so that picture of me moves down?" request.......

I haven't been in the mood to blog though.

Ever feel like some days or weeks life just gangs up on you and you just can't seem to catch a break let alone come up for air?

That is how it has been here. Wish I could hide my emotions better. But, alas, I can't. I wear them on my sleeves, both sides. Makes for some heavy days. There is so much going on with everyone near and dear to me, my postive energy is just draining. Sometimes it can be so challenging being the up beat one, the "think positive" one, the "things will get better soon" one. Most days it comes easy. A friend once told me, that I seemed to have a gift for looking on the bright side, and seeing the positive in a negative situation, and she loved that about me. I also had another friend tell me she got tired of me always seeking out the bright side, and sometimes she just needed me to wallow with her. So I guess there is a no win situation there. Then there are the days that I need to be my own cheerleader. There aren't too many people standing on my side lines rooting for me. The ones that are usually there have their own challenges in the last few weeks. I seem to be great and cheering for everyone else, but most times not so good at seeing my own "bright side". Part of my humanity I suppose. I am not a good wallower. I hate it.

Gee - aren't I a bundle of "take something good away from my blog today!?"

But on a positive note - Treat or treating tonight. The first year Kaite is going with two friends, just here in the development, instead of one of us. Seems it would be a fate worse than death to be seen with her brother when he is wearing a box. So pictures will come in the next day or two, and this negative sour post will move on down the line and once again be replaced with more encouraging more postive vibes.

So this week is one of those weeks, we get through the day and that is about it. Guess there is nothing wrong with that. I hate to waste days like that, but better that than

Sorry you are feeling out of sorts or as we like to say it around the Weidner home... you are feeling out of your shorts.

Hope you feel back in your shorts soon!
