Big T… Little t…What begins with T…
(with 4 kids, I guess Dr. Suess will always be in my head…not to mention I loved his books growing up.)
My T’s for yesterday were: Terrible Thunderstorms, Tension Headaches, Tired, Tears, Trying & Three Little Birds.
Tears…yesterday was a little bit of an emotional roller coaster…tears kept creeping up on me with waves of sadness…but I didn’t stay there…pushed on.
Tension headaches came…maybe from the emotional…maybe from fighting food urges. Trying…doing better…not great but better. Stopping myself from going where I want to with food but still eating more than I should.
Tired…Oh yeah, tired. Cant go to sleep…don’t sleep well when I do (birds started singing at 4:38 this morning…Hello!).
Terrible T-storms…WOW! When it hit last night…the first lightening strike was so close I thought it hit the house…the thunder clap was soooo loud it hurt and I screamed and scared the kids…ooops! We were all standing in the dining room talking about playing cards and it struck right out back…I really did think it hit the house for a few moments. I shut everything down that I could electrical wise. Afraid we would have a surge and lose the computer or tv equipment. We had to close up all the windows because it just poured. Every time a storm would pass, we would open windows and so help me another would come from another direction…then I started fearing tornados. Finally opened up for good around 9 pm…still had rain but not crazy. Expecting more severe storms this afternoon and more flooding.
Three Little Birds…this song (Bob Marley) kept going thru my head…Im going to leave it there to loop around my brain. I love to hear him sing it but found this video and like it too…especially the friendship factor…it reminds me of your friendship and how you lift me up.

“Don’t worry about a thing,
‘Cause every little thing gonna be all right.
Singin’: “Don’t worry about a thing,
‘Cause every little thing gonna be all right!”
Rise up this mornin’,
Smiled with the risin’ sun,
Three little birds
Pitch by my doorstep
Singin’ sweet songs
Of melodies pure and true,
Sayin’, (”This is my message to you-ou-ou:”)
Singin’: “Don’t worry ’bout a thing,
‘Cause every little thing gonna be all right.”
Singin’: “Don’t worry (don’t worry) ’bout a thing,
‘Cause every little thing gonna be all right!”
Rise up this mornin’,
Smiled with the risin’ sun,
Three little birds
Pitch by my doorstep
Singin’ sweet songs
Of melodies pure and true,
Sayin’, “This is my message to you-ou-ou:”
Singin’: “Don’t worry about a thing, worry about a thing, oh!
Every little thing gonna be all right. Don’t worry!”
Singin’: “Don’t worry about a thing” - I won’t worry!
“‘Cause every little thing gonna be all right.”
Singin’: “Don’t worry about a thing,
‘Cause every little thing gonna be all right” - I won’t worry!
Singin’: “Don’t worry about a thing,

Singin’: “Don’t worry about a thing, oh no!
‘Cause every little thing gonna be all right!
Another busy day…more of the same, packing, sorting, standing frozen staring at things trying to figure out what to do with them…yea, fun.
Will continue to do better each day…little by little if not more…baby steps. Hope you all are doing well…my thoughts are with you. Glad a couple of you are joining me in my deportation and sailing off with me to better places. Much love to all!!

We had a creepy storm like that Monday evening while I was DRIVING to school ! It was hailing and lightning then thundering and I talked to my mom and she was MAD at me for driving in it ! I know it was out of care n concern
it was like I could see where the lightning was striking all the way to the ground. Then, a mile or so from my school was a really bad tornado that caused lots of damage. Sounds like u r keeping busy and thinking forward. I also really LOVE that song and sang it softly outloud as i read it here. You knw which other one I really like, that makes me feel alot when I listen to it? That regae-ish version of what a wonderful world. Thinking of you often, Debbi~~~
((((((HUGS IF YOU NEED THEM)))))
