taking a new route

Last night I dreamt I was at a pet store and I wanted to buy myself a tree frog. The tree frog cost a dollar three ninety five…yes, thats right $1.395! Thats dream world money, and in dream world money, $1.395 is to expensive for a tree frog because I didn’t buy the tree frog. I walked out of the pet store disappointed that I didn’t get my frog. I woke up this morning disappointed becuse there was no actual frog in my life. I also woke up scratching my head wondering why the hell I suddenly cared about frogs so much.

I get the pet store part, because Sunday evening I went into Petsmart quite spontaneously. I nearly came out with a betta fish I planned on naming Francois, and then nearly came out with an adopted black cat I figured I could name Francois as well. Good thing the store was closing and didn’t allow me to buy a random pet named Francois, because that wouldn’t have been good.

…But where did the tree frog come from? Only Francois knows.

Going in the pet store made me a little hppy because I got to give some of the kitty cats attention. In my mind, I take them as poor little helpless animals that no one will ever want…but logiclly I know that isn’t really the case. It was also nice going in there because I got to have a nice butshort conversation with somebody. It was with a man (guy man, young gentleman, nice boy, kind fella…??? I don’t know what term to use because I don’t know how old he was, but I’d say somewhere in his twenties to thirties) Anyway, he had special needs, but was so kind and friendly and he really liked to talk….and I know he had a kind and gentle heart because of the way he was talking to the animals…it was him who really started talking to me, but he had a lot of nice things to share. He told me about his pets and about animals in general. He told me about his cat named Phineus who lived upstairs and sometimes liked to sit on his grandpas lap. He also told me about his cow like horse. It was just nice talking with him, and I was sorry it was only for a few minutes. Its good to hear about the simple good things in life rather than the negative bitching and complaining like a lot of people do.

…Like myself….

So let me try for some good…

It was beautiful out today. The morning sun especially.

The kids missed the bus again today, but we all could laugh about it, and it even gave us time to read a story together before I drove them to school. We read the Garuffalo. Julia Donaldson writes fantastic books for children!

After therapy, I went to the used book store to see if I could find a cheap copy of a book I have been wanting. I found a copy, and it was cheap!

I went intoToys R Us today. I cant remember the last time I was there. I went in looking for a birthday gift idea for Evelyn. Although I didn’t find anything that really stood out, I still had a good time being in such a colorful fun place!

A pumpkin spice latte!

The breeze.

Listining to music in the car with the windows rolled down, but with heat turned on low. The breeze was a little cool today, but good music required wind. (so long as the good music is playing in the car, because listining to music in a place like your room has no natural breeze…sure you can turn on a fan, but its not the same…its still good music, but wind is the cherry ontop)

Picking Evelyn and Warren up from school. I was greeted with a hug from Evelyn. It makes me smile. the kids played with their new friends on the playground after school, and it was nice to see that they were able to make new friends at a new school. I allowed them to play for almost an hour, and I enjoyed the weather. A little girl came up to me and asked if I wanted to see the picture she drew in the baseball field dirt. She was explaining to me what she had drawn, and although I couldn’t really see the figures she saw, it was still really cool. I appreciated her creativity, and  I was happy that she shared it with me.

Warren and I enjoyed helping Evelyn with her word study homework. She had fun as well. Any time that you can have fun with homework is good!

I am babysitting for Noah tonight. I hadn’t seen him all summer. He is getting so tall, and has a mohawk. He is funny, and smart, and we can joke with each other!

..this is going back to Friday….Warren invited me to a soccer game in October! His team will be one of the teams that gets to play one of the mini games on the stadiums field before the big game! I still havn’t yet got the chance to go down to the stadium for a regular season game. I usually am able to make it to a couple of regular season games each year. Im looking forward to it!

Seeing halloween decorations and products in stores today. I love love love halloween!!!! Such brilliant fun. It should last much longer!  

I straightened up my room a littlle…its a positive thing because I don’t feel as cluttered. It’s also positive beacuse I actually did it unlike most of the time when I say I will do it, but never really do it.

The windows are opened…..oh wait, this is how I can get the wind and music effect…..well some what at least. I guess I would have to drive my room to get the full effect!

The fact that I was able to find several positive things within the day is a good thing!

..To say the day was all positive would be an overstatement. The day held its usual negatves, but by listing all of these little positive things, it just goes to  show that there is more to my day than just bad.

Okay, therapy and positive affirmtion time is over now. I need to try to go to bed.
