New and exciting stress we've never dealt with before
(Sarcasm...a healing balm for my soul).
I'm going between anxious/hyper and anxious/blahhh.
Headaches, sore shoulders, insomnia..all that awesome stuff.
But..this isn't a whining, complaining post.
At all.
I am full of appreciation for what we have.
For our warped senses of humor getting us through this.
For that moment when Michael is finally home from Hell Job and we crash on the couch together...
and for that span of time, everything is ok.
 |
| Scoot over, Voodoo..we'll watch for Michael together. |
I'm full-to-the-eyeballs with appreciation for the dogs and cats..
 |
| Pile of warm bodies and a down comforter..better than Xanax! |
Warm bodies to snuggle when I need it.
Warm bodies that don't judge when I stress eat my stash of really, really expensive cheese.
A large stash.
I did eat apples along with the cheese...so we're calling it healthy, got it?
Once again, I hate that couch. It's extremely comfortable, but..here's the shallow part..it always looks funky and dirty in photos.
Stupid microsuede.
*grumble*
But..dammit..we HAVE a couch. In a house.
That's far more than some people have.
So truly..not bitching.
The weather doesn't help.
It has been gray and rainy...chilly...
We need some sunshine, even if it's cold!
I know most Texans are ready to smack me with their rain gauges for crying about too much rain..so I'll shut up about that, too! ;)
first Texan in line with a big headsmack!!! ME, ME, ME!!! :)
ReplyDeletegirlie, hoping your stressness gets better soon!
Hey, be proud of your couch! I don't let the funny looks discourage me from wearing my microsuede pants out on the town.
ReplyDeleteI was admiring the couch, and thinking how great it must be to sink into. I was also admiring the bookcase beside Voo in the first picture.
ReplyDeleteI hope the stress gets better soon.
Sorry about your stress. Can I help? I won't mention rain either. Eating in winter is a huge issue. Make soup and have lots of french bread, some wine? No worries about whinning, it is allowed.
ReplyDeleteI love that pic of VooDoo watching out for Michael.
ReplyDeleteSometimes when you're stressed, there's nothing like the love and cuddleness of a dog to make you feel better. I hope you are able to de-stress-ify this weekend!
Hey girl, I hear ya. First of all, I think your couch looks lovely! And your pets..well..they look like a big pile of love. As my Mom always said: "This to shall pass." In the meantime, I'm here if ya need anything!
ReplyDeleteI'm right there with you on the insomnia lately. Sigh.
ReplyDeletei'm thinkin'...
ReplyDeleteif your sense-of-humor were not warped your stress level would be even higher.
;-D
i'm glad you're here... does that help at all?
as for the couch... i sat on mine last night - heard a snap. one of the 1950somethin' springs had snapped...
i had ice cream in my mouth at the time.
Sorry you are stressed -- but if there is excitement involved, then it's got to be good, right? I hope so. :)
ReplyDeleteApples, cheese and microsuede PLUS a pile of warm, fuzzy bods. Who could ask for more except to send the crummy rain to Texas.
ReplyDeletebeing together on the couch DOES make it all OK!

Put my check mark on the "healthy" side! Don't think I've seen the cats before, beautiful coloring! Happy Weekend:@)
ReplyDeleteInsomnia-my middle name. Ugh. Hate it! And when I cannot sleep, J snores away!And so so the pups and kitties!
ReplyDeleteMaybe I will find you awake one night on Facebook!
I hope your stress lessens. It can wreak havoc on our bodies more than we know!
Have a wonderful weekend, Samantha!
xo, misha
Oh Sam! I know stress, I hads it for three months. So I am hoping your stress goes away pronto. I love the picture of Irie and the kit kats on your Bee-u-tiful couch. CH has a bee-u-tiful lazy boy in that material only a dark brown. You gotta admit that it can take a beating! The couch!No beating of the animals!!! We are having sun and lovely weather in MissouREE but does it help that we are being inundated with imposter ladybugs that stink. They make me stressy and we have to tape up all the doors. Hope things are better soon Sam!
ReplyDeleteOK Sam, Texwisgirl made me do this. Well, it's because of her I wrote this. It better make you perk up a little bit. OK... Here goes...
ReplyDeleteA Black Vulture a Chipping Sparrow and a Red-bellied Woodpecker walked into a bar. They all sat at the bar and the bar tender asked for their order. The vulture stretched his neck shrugged his shoulders back and forth and said, "I'll have a blooody mary". The chipping sparrow said,"gimmy ah gimmy a... slow gin fizz". Then it was the red-bellied woodpeckers turn... Guess what he ordered? There he sat hanging on to his chair, and he hadn't even had a drink yet. The bar tender said," well, what will it be bird"? His response was, " I'm gonna gonna gonna have have have a a a a a a Shooter. Well, what kind of shooter? "One one one that that that will will will REALLY light light light me me me up". The bar tender said, "Ok, how about a Fireball shooter". "Sh sh sure" said the woodpecker. "What what what's in it"? "White rum, cinnamon schnapps and 3 or 4 dashes of tabasco sauce". The bar tender sat the drink in front of the woodpecker and said "there you go son, enjoy". The woodpecker looked at his buddies and said, "and you guys thought all I could do was Peck Wood. Ahahahah ahahah ahah".
You have a COUCH?!
ReplyDeleteWhat's it like?
Anyway, hope it all works out for you.
love your pile o' pets!
ReplyDeletewho cares what your couch looks like!
(and anyway, it looks fine to me...that microsuede stuff always looks like it needs to be 'brushed', huh!)
anyway...hope whatever stress you're dealing with...fades away. just curl up with those little furry ones and de-stress...
Voodoo has cool markings.
ReplyDeletewe all have those stress times , Sam...Don't worry...Be Happy ! I think you all ready know that...sounds like your head is screwed on right so I will not worry too much about you. Our pets do help us de-stress so you are lucky to have so many great friends there on your sofa. Your sofa is 100 times better than mine. I need a new one but I also need a new washing machine and front door and.... (you get it right?)
ReplyDeleteOh-Well
- KAT -
I love the kitties with the dog, that is a nice picture and I was thinking about how nice your couch looked.
ReplyDeleteWell it is the sense of humor that gets us through it all. Don't you think.
Rain does have a way of making little things looks out of sorts.
I hope normal returns soon.
Pile of warm bodies indeed!!!!
ReplyDeleteThis texan actually got some rain last night. Not much, but any rain is worthy of a mention. Love your cuddly pile of warmth.
