warning:: lame post.


right now i am.....
watching: nothing.  i know, i can't believe it either.  just know that friends reruns will reconvene as soon as this earth shattering post is finished.
drinking: nothing.  do you dare to wonder how much sweet tea i drank today?  too much.  yes.  i'm suppose to be NOT drinking it but i am anyway....such a rebel.
wearing:  my black jersey knit skirt from old navy with my gray "Athens, I love you" t-shirt.  
eating:  nothing at the moment because I'm stuffed full of chinese food that I ate tonight with Lydia.  That's what we do when the boys go on a "man date."  They're fishing if you're wondering.
listening to:  nothing but the sound of my ceiling fan swooshing.  silence is golden. 
avoiding: folding the three loads of laundry that surround me on my bed.  this time i'm actually going to fold it and not throw every last bit of it back in the basket on my floor, like i did last time.
wishing:  i could click my heels together and be moved into our new house already. this girl is OVER the waiting.
feeling:   READY...to move...to be out of pain...to meet with the surgeon...to finish this school year.  and on and on and on.
missing:  my boys being little.  
thankful:  our school year is almost over.  honestly, we've got the worse case of spring fever EVER.  maybe it's the new house and knowing that we're moving soon.  maybe the year of pain has taken it's final toll on me. whatever it is....put a fork in me.  i feel done. {and so do my kids}.
craving:  who should be craving anything after all the chinese food i ate earlier?  but, have no fear. i'm craving pistachios.
wondering:  when i'm gonna get my mo-jo back.  dishes in the sink...laundry undone.  beds unmade.  piles of papers on the countertop.  dolls and legos and books and shoes and socks are strode all over this house, and none of it bothers me enough to do anything about it.  would the real tara please show her face?
praying:  for open and closed doors when i see the surgeon on tuesday.  i seriously don't want options.  i just want them to tell me what i need to do.  
needing:  to pack this house up.  we move in three weeks, and i haven't done the first thing and honestly can't imagine starting.  like i said, i need that mo-jo back pronto.
{thankful for}

  2. Not a lame post at all. You should see mine! Nothing I've tried to write all week has felt worth saying, and the post I wrote this morning disappeared. Next time I get writer's block, I may have to steal your not-so-lame idea! So sorry about your pain. I'll be praying for you and hope the path is clear. I ant to hang out with you and Paige in real life! Maybe a Franklin visit will be in your future!

    xo,
    Linsey

  4. I'm so sick at my house it's not funny. Needs cleaning, organizing, etc. ON TOP of the WORK that needs to be done. Now I have to choose to ignore it so I can be in the workshop doing furniture because my booth is getting bare. (The workshop needs the same treatment, btw) I just resorted to online grocery shopping at PIGGLY WIGGLY because I don't have time to spend in a grocery store (and here I am reading blogs, but I'm multitasking drinking coffee) to think about going to the store to shop, but if this turns out well, I will do it more to save time!
    I hope you get some resolution about your back. I have had trouble for going on 20 years and was really bad until I started a chiropractic program last fall. I can now move-my sacro-illiac joints were essentially frozen-and it's great to be able to bend, squat,etc like a normal person. If your back doesn't work, life is difficult.

  5. Packing...yikes. Please don't overdo or lift too much! Happy to hear you & Lydia got a date together. I need to do that with each of my kiddos. I can only imagine how anxious you are to get into the new house. It's just so exciting! I am praying for you and for your appointment on Tuesday.

  6. hey girl. I can remember when I was waiting for my new house to be finished. It felt like it took forever but then I remember putting all of my glasses and dishes into brand spankin new cabinets and it was well worth the wait! My hubs was gone last night as well so the girls and I made a huge batch of real popcorn (in oil on the stove) and gorged ourselves in front of a movie. Happy day today.

  11. XO
    Hang in there. Could be worse. You could be in Orlando! LOL. Sorry - had to throw that one out there. You'll get said mojo back - promise. Maybe the good Lord took it from you so you WOULD STOP AND SLOW DOWN ALREADY. You're making the rest of us look bad ;0)

  12. not lame at all .. but real
    praying for a peace tomorrow for you.
    wisdom for the surgeon. An answer..and grace
    I know Tara..what you are going through in so many ways.
    I am in much the same boat with my Chrohn's...my last resort is the surgeon too but
    I have rebelled and not gone. But the pain is always there....
    what to do?
    know I'm praying with you tomorrow. I am getting up early again to spend some slower time
    with God..i will pray
    I LOVED your post actually:) I laughed..why? I got it:)
    love you much...now you made me hungry and I just ate a bowl of Cheerios after a dinner!
    Must be the pain?:)
