Light enough to travel

This was my phrase for 2013. It seems as though it is going to continue into 2014…..

December is always busy, full to bursting. I've known (and perhaps dreaded) just how busy my calendar was going to be. And now I'm living that reality. In the Nine Star Ki philosophy I follow (and share with wonderful friends and amazingly supportive clients) my One Water element is in the center. This basically means that there's A LOT of energies coming in and moving out. It's usually a time of great change, (some chaos) and it's filled with abundant options/choices and decisions. Every day is different, it's like living in a vortex or inside the eye of a hurricane.  I'm very grateful for the information I've learned because it's certainly keeping me aware, open and confident that I am not going insane (there's been significant support to indicate otherwise!)

I thought about posting the details of my schedule just for the sake of a few chuckles from other mentor Mama's that have "been there, done that." I know, I know, I need to enjoy and savor this time of having  high school, junior high and elementary children. They are growing fast and for that I am sad. It is FUN to see them in their activities and witness their personalities continually taking shape (some days are not as fun as others.) For anyone who reads this and feels their life is boring, I warmly extend the invitation to join me…….I could use a few extra hands, definitely additional brain power, a house keeper and cook. I'll put your amazing talents to work and give you a fantastic purpose.

I can't remember what I did Monday. Tuesday night ball game, Thursday pm Christmas concert, ball games this afternoon/night. Ball games Saturday afternoon. On Sunday I've promised to take Pryce to a  the "Desolation of Smaug" (apparently not to be confused with Smog). She's been talking about this one nonstop. She's in love with Kili and Fili. I'm going to see the hot elf, aka Legolas. We'll all be happy. Monday is a ball game. Friday is a ball game. And then there's the holiday, of which, I am going to celebrate in a different way than I  have before. (more on that in a future post!)

Right now I'm short on sleep, low on patience, my humor tank definitely needs filled and my creative endeavors are taking it in the shorts. I think its interesting that these are the words that I woke up to this morning. They were harmoniously being hummed by my brain:

Don't really know what day it is

Been rocking nine days in a row
All I know is it's hurricane season
And any minute she's gonna blow

I need a shave and I need some rest
I know some people are worried about me
But I'm french kissing life square in the mouth
Sailing out on the sea

French Kissing Life

I would change the words slightly to:

Don't really know what day it is

Been packing nine days in a row

All I know is it's basketball season 

And any minute I'll have to go…...

I need a nap and I need break

or the life out of someone, I'll surely shake

My Kindle is charged, my seat is ready

with a bleacher bench, I'm going steady……..

See, this is what happens when I don't get enough sleep. I have a little sympathy for my kids…..and their teachers. We probably all know where their quirkiness comes from.
