Is It Spring Break Yet ?

Well, this is a funny but favorite picture of mine.Trying on hats for Easter last year. I loved it,but not the price. We are getting ready to end March of 2013 and bring in April ,which means SPRING BREAK!!! This year I find myself like the kid in the back seat of a car during the summmer going ," are we there yet?" . But in my head I'm saying , " is it spring break yet ?" The last few weeks have been stressful to say the least: work,the flu,stomach bug (not once but twice) and all the school work, test and projects my son has had to do. Some days I've felt like I'm gonna be pulled apart. That's when I have to remember to step back and breathe. I also need to remember not to let things get me so upset. Stuff happens and I have really got to let God have it ,so I don't act like I do. I also need to get alot of clutter out of my life ,both in the way of things and in the way of spiritual too. On a very bright note, I have had acrylics on for a month now. I'm very happy and hope that one day I will return to the world of nails and pedis. But it will be when God wants it. So I hope you all have a blessed week . And you all remember to get a pretty hat for Easter and strike a pose .

Getting back to normal ?

Well, it's new week. God please be with all of us. My son has gone back to school after being out for a whole week with the flu . This morning was alittle testy,but we all got to where we were suspose to be today . So, I guess this means things are getting back to normal . What is normal ? Why do we kill ourselves to be normal ? I am far from normal and no longer do I feel like that is a bad thing . God made us all different . I have my odd ways ,some even I'll admit can be very hard to live . I think we all need to love each other where we are at, and pray for God to help us and those who got some real issues to have change. But change can't happen unless we see that it needs changing or we want the change . I have had a battle for years trying to fit in ,only to end up being rejected, hurt and then very angry . It has been a bad cycle for me and those who love me; so I looked at things ,prayed and asked God to help me get rid of this cycle once and for all. It's getting better,not big leaps getting better;more like baby steps getting better. So, normal , will I ever have it ? I have the basic "normal" that most of us have:car, house , job ,husband , son and a pile of pets . All those things Iam greatful for and they give my life alot of balance . But the normal of being like everybody, well that just doesn't shine for me no more. I would rather be "odd" me . You may look at me like a nut,but to one man I am his wife and friend ; to a 10 year old boy ,I'm mommy . To a pile of dogs ,and other animals I'm that lady that feeds them, pets them and plays with them. And to a very small group of people ; I'm Vikki and she's funny but she's alright. And the most important thing is : to God I am his child ,oddness and all. So ,until next week, my you all be richly blessed and healed in body, mind and spirit. Be at peace
