I MUST BE A GENIUS

Boy, based on this quote I must be really intelligent because I have made a whole bunch of mistakes!! Still being held captive by my bi polar. Last night was rough, I went to bed and suffered for a good part of the night with major panic attacks. Very little sleep. Yeah, and that’s helpful to my recovery!! Still very edgy this a.m.. Almost hyperventilating. Oh, well, I have to deal with it so there’s no sence whining about it.I have the boys all day again today as school is cancelled due to poor road conditions. I had them Monday all day as well. They will have to come to my hairdresser appointment with me. That’s okay, she has it in her home and I am usually the only client in at that time. The boys will only need to sit for about 20-25minutes. They WILL behave!! I really didn’t need them today as it ups my stress level but I know it’s hard for their mum to get someone else. This is typical me and part of my problem. I make everyone else’s problems mine!!! Now I have to keep them amused, go to the grocery store and pick up some items plus something for them to eat. I don’t have much in the house that would appeal to kids. Then I need to go to the Dollar Store. I also have to pick my daughter up from her nail appointment. Oh, I can feel my chest tightening just thinking about it!!!Well, yesterday, I did get the ribbon on the tree and the silver balls on. Now I just need to add a few more of my decorations, my special ones. I feel a little better looking at the tree now. A little hint I’d like to pass on, putting ribbon on a tree can be a pain in the !@# because you start at the top and the darn stuff does not want to stay put as you arrange it from branch to branch. Solution... take a clothes pin and pin the ribbon at the top towards the back and when you finish put another clothes pin to secure the end. Another tip... of course, one roll of ribbon is not even nearly long enough to wrap around a tree so it requires numerous rolls. So every time we have to add a new roll we try to stuff it in the tree to make it blend with the last piece....when you add a new ribbon use a straight pin to attach the two edges seamlessly together. When you undecorate leave the pins in and you have your one big roll for next year.Anyway, that’s the wisdom for the day. All of you have a happy one. Debbie
