Marsia's Diary

I'm glad there's a great local school! Maybe you could try reframing that time-sucking monster image if you're lucky enough to have something so important which most kids don't like too much much actually be great for your specific kid.
 
Happy Birthday, K!
I think your daughter will really appreciate the opportunities offered to her & make the most of them. It is stressful being a parent & you can't help worrying about the stresses put upon them, but I think you know that it will be worth it. You seem to provide a very good balance in her life, Marsia & she seems to be flourishing.
Well done on the run & once again Happy Birthday, K :D
 
Belated happy birthday to you daughter Marsia . Was my daughters in the last few days too but you know me and I don't like putting up too much about myself lol . Seems we both have girls born similar days :party:
 
That sounds like a fun way to get exercise, Marsia. You are so descriptive that I could picture happy you & your happy cat.
I hope you get to the beach later with your newly dyed hair & enjoy that gorgeous day xoxo
 
It all sounds good, Marsia. Maybe Dora might be a good option for the next time we have the kids. Yay for nice hair & slimming arms & fun drumming :)
 
Your hair sounds lovely Marsia . As does the movie day and the dancing . Truly you pack so much into your days . Hope your mums eye surgery goes well .
 
The drumming sounds like fun, and kind of exotic.

Thanks for stopping by my diary and for the advice on "drinks", some sound worth trying.

I used to grow wheatgrass and juice with with cucumber and that gives a good kick that makes me feel really good. Have to start doing that again! (Do I sound excessively Californian?!)

Yes it does, but I like California so no problem here. I lived in the Bay Area for a couple of years back in the 80s, if it has not been so expensive and so crowded I might still be there. You must be close to the coast for it to be too cold for eggplants.
 
Your hair sounds gorgeous! And I agree that high-quality kids´ entertainment is often more fun than the grown-up stuff. Maybe because kids´ stories tend to make an effort to include hope for the future instead of needing to have everything cool and depressing.
 
Marsia I feel the same about the diaries . Just reading and making a few comments can take over half hour ( if you slow like me !) and I'm sleep now so they even shorter :sleeping:
 
Love the sound of your hair! And the drumming, too - I'm intrigued that you can see the difference in your arms after a comparatively short course.

But there is this clash between her lifestyle of doing whatever you like and dying younger and the medical profession's emphasis on taking care of people even against their wishes to keep them alive.

That would be illegal around here. Maybe you could let her take care of food while you stop by for the meds? Hugs for the struggle this whole situation must be.
 
That is so hard - the situation re: your mother. :( I'm so sorry you've got it to deal with - I admire you for caring for her dignity and self-respect - in working to set the medical record straight "without offending her or making her look bad" - as well as her general well-being.
 
Marsia I hope you come to a happy medium. Through experience I know what you are going through. You are incredibly kind and caring . Hugs and thinking of you .

I am learning slowly not to get frustrated around my mom. She really is in some altered state and if I were in a state like that, I hope the people around me would understand. So I am learning to be a more patient, kinder person from all this. It's really good I worked on being more patient with myself for the last several years. I got some practice in, and I got a model of how it feels to not push myself so much but come more from an understanding place.

I think that you are a very loving & kind person who is doing the best you can for a Mum who may not have been that way for you. I think you are doing a great job under difficult circumstances. Don't forget that you have to look after yourself too. Meditating sure does help.
I love that you & K went swimming with your clothes on!
