Bee~ Journal of then...

[Dace]

Bee that was a lovely story...funny how things work out when you just stop fighting.

 

[FarmerChick]

yes I hear you BEE
great story and I know what you mean, to just give it up.

I fight also. I fight to control everything. Tony said a 200 lb. hog has a hernia and we are going to process him just for us instead of selling, and he wanted my input. I said do whatever you want. I don't want to add any input..HA HA HA....no more on my plate.

I think it is time to let Tony have some control. You know being a woman I want all control..HA HA...time to let go.

I saw a show on how to make life better and it said to "go with the flow of life"---do not fight. If you fight a raging river you go ahead about 1/4 mile fighting the rapids, then drift back like 5 miles cause you tire out. If you swim with the river it is easier. I guess I am starting to truly understand what that means.

Yea burn out is happening to me. I saw this coming. I know it is time to veg out a bit and not take it all so important. I noticed I am just doing chores, and work, and clean up and maintenance, etc. on everything and missing the simple things in life again. I think that overloads me.

de-frazzle time coming for me. slow down time. if I get it done, fine, if not then tough. I wish I could truly make that part of me...hard for a leopard to change their spots ya know. DO DO DO was my motto. Work hard, play hard. Not enough play anymore..LOL-LOL

alot of that work hard was fueled by paying off debt which is so much lower now. so that takes some of the pressure off knowing the darn bills can get paid and I have a little left over each month. hard when those bills exceed income..HA HA...well, we all know that one.

thanks for the advice. I need my AH-HA moment in life. I think it is coming!

Put on the skillet, slip on the lid,
Mama's gonna make a little short'nin' bread.
That ain't all she's gonna do,
Mama's gonna make a little coffee, too.

Mama's little baby loves short'nin', short'nin',
Mama's little baby loves short'nin' bread,
Mama's little baby loves short'nin', short'nin',
Mama's little baby loves short'nin' bread.

Three little children, lyin' in bed
Two were sick and the other 'most dead
Sent for the doctor and the doctor said,
"Give those children some short'nin' bread."

Mama's little baby loves short'nin', short'nin',
Mama's little baby loves short'nin' bread,
Mama's little baby loves short'nin', short'nin',
Mama's little baby loves short'nin' bread.

When those children, sick in bed,
Heard that talk about short'nin' bread,
Popped up well to dance and sing,
Skipped around and cut the pigeon wing.

Mama's little baby loves short'nin', short'nin',
Mama's little baby loves short'nin' bread,
Mama's little baby loves short'nin', short'nin',
Mama's little baby loves short'nin' bread.

Slip to the kitchen, slip up the led,
Filled my pockets full of short'nin' bread;
Stole the skillet, stole the led,
Stole the gal makin' short'nin' bread.

Mama's little baby loves short'nin', short'nin',
Mama's little baby loves short'nin' bread,
Mama's little baby loves short'nin', short'nin',
Mama's little baby loves short'nin' bread.

Caught me with the skillet, caught me with the led,
Caught me with the gal makin' short'nin' bread;
Paid six dollars for the skillet, six dollars for the led,
Spent six months in jail eatin' short'nin' bread.

Mama's little baby loves short'nin', short'nin',
Mama's little baby loves short'nin' bread,
Mama's little baby loves short'nin', short'nin',
Mama's little baby loves short'nin' bread.

Oh, DAC! I didn't know all the verses!!! Thank you! I'm going to save this to a file. I used to sing the verse about the children in bed and the chorus to my kids when they were babies. Thank you!!!

Google makes me look like a genius.

Nah! You are a genius and don't let anyone ever tell you any different!

 

[Okiemommy]

That's all I can say right now.


Except that your journal was a Joy to read....and now to read someone elses...must get caught up

 

[Beekissed]

After your message, Okie, I went back and reread my own journal...it was entertaining! I laughed out loud! Is someone supposed to enjoy their life this much???

All I can say, if you ain't havin' fun, you ain't livin'!

 

[Beekissed]

BTW, SS friends.....Happy New Year! May all our dreams and schemes for the new year come to fruition!
