Hey, It's Okay Tuesday Hop! No 2 coming at ya!

Airing My Dirty Laundry



Tuesday, how I love you because you are not Monday!  Time to see what's OKAY this week and link up with Airing My Dirty Laundry for 'Hey, It's Okay Tuesday!"   Follow the button above to link up your own post.  

-It's okay that sometimes you need a stranger to tell you It's Okay.   I have been feeling so overwhelmed and lost lately and I really needed someone who doesn't know me to say, 'Hey, your feelings are natural.'

-It's okay that it rains constantly.   I would prefer a few days of dry time so we can get some work done and a ballgame in but lately that's not possible.  

-It's okay that I am thinking of ways to make our chicken coop cute! 
Chickens!
This is what we have so far.  It has legs on it and a little more trim but I am designing a special place for our baby chicks.  My hubby basically modified his deer blind pattern and made it into a chicken coop.  He is so smart and no animals will be hurt in the production of this coop! 

-It's okay that every time I look at my new mailbox, I still get annoyed at the guy who hit it and took off, while I was standing in the yard.  

-It's okay that the more time I spend working on my yard, house, and garden the more I think I would be just fine on a farm somewhere in the middle of East Texas with goats and chickens.  I am sure I could learn to make goat cheese like a champ and with a bunch of fruit trees, I would go crazy making jams, jellies, and sauces to cook in.   Let me can and produce farm fresh products and I bet I could not only self sustain but live.  Someday....

-It's okay that I discovered, with the loss of Blue Bell Creameries to the plague, that I actually prefer Blue Bunny Frozen Yogurt.  Let my be honest, even before the Listeria crisis I was not a fan of Blue Bell Fro-Yo but now that I have been forced to seek other options, I will never go back. 

-It's okay that I recently decided to look into my family tree a little.  I don't know my great grandparents names so this is making it a little tough, especially since I don't feel like calling anyone to ask, but I will figure it out. 

-It's okay that I am having spinach salad and hummus for lunch.  I couldn't decide what to bring this morning so I brought nothing.  

-It's okay that I am looking forward to GNO tomorrow.  I miss my friends who are on the other side of earth  town and look forward to a night with the ladies even if I am so stupid and miss my husband whenever he isn't around.  

-It's okay that I am really looking forward to doing something with said husband in September for our 1st anniversary.   I want to just go away for a few days and not work on the house, land, or anything.  I want to sit by a pool or on a boat and just relax and forget the stress of everyday life.   Maybe sip a cool, frozen something as well.   Sounds incredible.  

-It's okay that I know if he has his way, there will be at least fishing involved.  Honestly, I would love to fish on the ocean so IF I can get him to the coast, I am going to take full advantage of a fishing guide.

Dear Monday




Dear Monday:

I had a lovely weekend with family and somehow Monday came along and decided to ruin it. You know what I mean, right? Somehow, Monday has to throw a monkey wrench on a fun time!




It rained most of the weekend but that didn't stop us from spending time watching my nephew play baseball, spend time with my nieces, and just hang out. There was archery in my back yard. Shopping Sunday morning. Shoe painting. Lots of fun stuff!



Then Monday came along...


Somehow I am going to overcome this Monday thing and all the little 'surprises' she has. Probably with a lot of coffee and a lot of confidence that no matter how many people spring a little special bit of 'news' on me that comes from left field, I can and will make the best of it because that is who I am and that is what I do. So bring it on Monday! I have a surprise or two for you too. Today is the 1st day of my new workout program. That's right! I am back at it starting today. I know I have doubters out there who are waiting for me to fail. That's fine. They can wait.


I don't need anyone to push me but me. I have been doing this dance with myself for years and when I am ready, I go.

Well, that's all I got. Monday can throw me a thousand knives. I just don't care. I have an answer for everything. I got this, Monday. I am stronger!




Simply,
Laura
