What is the appropriate thing to do when one feels lost?
The last week, or maybe two, I’ve been so very unproductive. I’ve been so physically and mentally worn out and exhausted.

Here comes my confession, I haven’t done my AB challenge that I was working on since the 11th. I don’t think I’ve run since around then, either. Just been a lazy slob…I’ve barely touched Art With a Porpoise, either.

I feel like I need a vacation as soon as possible, even if it’s getting away for a weekend. I have nowhere to go though, which is frustrating. So many people I know have somewhere they can escape to. I don’t have anywhere, and it leaves me feeling trapped. Being “trapped” of course, makes me anxious and further stressed. How the heck do I get around that?

I need some days to rejuvenate myself, but I don’t know where to begin. Suggestions, anyone? What do I do? I guess really, it’s up to me and what really relaxes me. I have no idea what that is though…is that strange? I could take hot bath after a run, and curl up with some tea and read…but once that’s all over, any stress and tension comes right back. I’m sure that’s normal, though. Does anyone manage to stay de-stressed after unwinding?

I have a nice little stretch of days off coming up, which are in full honestly, desperately needed. I’m looking forward to it, very much.

This is a pointless post, I suppose, I just needed to ramble. This sort of thing is mildly therapeutic.

So of course, I want to thank all the hard-working moms out there for being such amazing and strong ladies. I can’t knowledge the ones that think it is okay to ignore your child, to treat them badly, to make them feel like they’re not worth it. To squeeze out a kid makes you a mother, sure. Not a mom.

To me, a mother is just that. The lady who birthed you. A mom, is a woman you raises you, teaches you right from wrong, who is always there for you. She sees your highs, your lows, and loves you all the same. Even if she doesn’t always agree with you, she stands by you. Thank you, to all of the mom’s out there. Thank you for having the strength and courage to raise thinking, feeling, genuine adults (and adults in training).

Of course, I’d be a poor daughter if I didn’t thank my own mom.

(I hope you don’t mind me posting these, Mom. I love these pictures. :) )


I’m almost 30,and living on my own, but can I tell you how much I miss living with my mom? It’s ridiculous. I love hanging out with her. I soak up any chance I get to go to my parents house and chat. My mom is amazing. She’s such an oddball, and sweet, and hilarious. I love sharing so many common interests with my mom. Unfortunately, I’m terrible at telling people much of anything, hence this blog post.

She is my biggest inspiration. She is the reason I have been working as hard as I am on my art. She is the reason that I want to be a mom. I can only hope that I could be as good of a mom as she is. I want to follow in her footsteps.

She’s always been fantastic, but since I got engaged, she has blown me away with her generosity, patience, and understanding. I have never felt more loved. I will never, ever be able to adequately express how much gratitude I feel.

heh, I’m sitting here tearing up writing about her as if she’s gone. She isn’t of course, and I really can’t imagine the torment of losing a mom. That is a pain I’m not ready for, and I doubt I ever will be. I hope with all my hopeness that that is a long ways off.

Still, some people have lost their moms, and my heart bleeds for them. To carry on after such an event takes tremendous strength. I would give a standing ovation for those troopers if anyone would see it. Carry on, and carry the memory of her where ever you go, and she’ll never be lost.



I’m fortunate enough to still have my mom’s mom, too. I adore her, and wish I had more opportunity to visit. She’s sweet, and absolutely nutty. It’s pretty evident that my quirkiness has come from my mom, which she got from hers. I’ve noticed that we all share similar giggle-fits too, which makes me happy.

A final thank you to my grandma, my mom, and to all the other moms out there for being who you are. Keep up the great work.

Yep, that pretty much sums up my feelings….This post is my only source so far…I’m hoting it isn’t true :

When I was in grade 3, we had to make a book about an animal we liked. I did an arctic fox. My mom drew the cover for me. It was much better than the rest of the book. When asked why that was so, my response was thus:

“I sat at a special table that’s higher. It helps me draw better.”

Higher tables make you draw better? Wut.
