I remember reading this book to my children and not to long ago I actually saw one of my grandchildren reading this same book. Today I feel like I'm living the title of this book. To much winter, to many new aches and pains, to many people who aren't here anymore that I'm missing today. So I'm listening to my favorite music, junking out on the junk foods I can still eat, and allowing myself a five minute pity party every two hours. Tomorrow will be a new day, but today I feel just like Alexander with his terrible, horrible, no good, very bad day!
Well cheer up, Babs...when I get into a funk I let the tears flow...I can cry very easily and it helps. I actually prefer winter and am happier this time of year than the hot summer...I have more energy now, get lazy in the summer. My favorite books to read to my younger grandsons were llama, llama..red pajama and some other titles that I've forgotten. There's quite a few of these llama llama books. Sadly the author just died last year at age 50 of brain cancer, I think. Also, be happy you got a Honey, most of you on here do...I don't and I have to deal with everything myself. ...my latest was my gutter...in all this rain one part pulled away from the roof. I've been trying to get someone to fix it but they're all swamped now because of all the rain. Today when Alfonso came I asked him if he could help me...he said "yes" like he always does...I wanted to kiss him but I just gave him $40 and although I still need to probably have someone come out, I can now wait and not worry about it. I told him I appreciated him, just felt like saying that today. Anyway, I'm not saying you have it easier or harder than me, just felt like adding that...everybody is entitled to a pity party is my motto.
We all have bad days @Chrissy Cross and as long as I don't have them every day that's okay with me. I just wanted to feel free to share this part of me here too. I'm not the kind of person who wants to pretend they are always nice or always happy, etc. not even online. I don't like winter anymore as the cold weather brings to many aches and pains to my aging body now and makes me feel so tired all the time and with the new health issues I've been dealing with since last December I'm having a rough time of it right now. All of us who are aging have these days and we should be able to say so if we feel like it. I'm thankful for my Honey and for all of my family and friends. But a person can be surrounded by a spouse, family, and friends...and still feel so alone at times. In spite of all my blessings my life is far from perfect....and I want to feel free to express that here too.
I'm glad you did, I am the same except for the winter part. Fresno is just toooo hot in the summer and thankfully my aches and pains aren't affected by weather. I was just trying to cheer you up @Babs Hunt ...guess I failed.
Very pretty! Red isn't easy to do! Lol, now you're talking! Although if I were to drink it would be vodka something for me...it was my drink of choice back in the good old days.
Ha ha! True, now that I think about it my absolute favorites were Bloody Marys Have you seen how far those have come...with the bacon, etc on the skewers.
