I listened!

I actually listened to all your comments and messages and did something for myself on Monday, Memorial Day.  The first thing I did was take Tiara for a walk on Balboa Island.  Since I haven’t even been walking much, it felt great to sweat and believe me I sweat pushing her in the wheelchair.  I kept thinking about seeing that movie “Blended” because I love silly movies that make you laugh. Should I go?

I came home from the walk and Trinity arranged a play date  for herself while I was gone, which made me super happy because I knew she was going to have a great day.  She was so excited but wasn’t getting picked up until 11:00/11:30.  I looked up the time of the movie and it started at 11:00.  Hmmmm.  Tiara’s caretaker was coming from 10-2 because of the holiday, so I knew I could get to the movie and be back in time.

me:  “Trin, I am thinking of going to the movies right now.  What do you think?”

trin:  “Go, Mom, you should go!  Come on, go.!” 

 

Clearly you aren’t the only ones who think I need a break.

 

me:  ” But I have to leave now and you aren’t getting picked up for a while.  Do you mind?”

trin:  “No, I’m fine.  That movie looks really funny, you should go.”

 

I stood there trying to decide.  Should I actually just leave and go to  the movies at 11am on a Monday?  I told myself to do it but I kept hesitating.  Finally I just changed my clothes, grabbed a protein bar, kissed Trin good-bye, looked to see if Tabitha was awake and wanted to join me, nope she was still sleeping and I finally left.  I did it, I did it!

I pulled right into a front spot, paid for my ticket, got myself a big chemical filled diet coke, a bag of popcorn and headed into the darkened theater.  As I found my perfect seat, right side of the theater, aisle end seat the previews finished and the movie started.  Perfect timing.

I then proceeded to laugh out loud over and over again.  I am probably really annoying to sit next to in a funny movie  because I laugh at everything, really loud.

It was a really cute movie.

When it was over, I felt much lighter, happier and overall in better spirits.  I called Lou on my way home and he said, “Wow, you sound so much better, thank God you went to the movies.”

So there you have it peeps, I did something for myself.  Not going to pretend the rest of my day was great after Tiara’s caretaker left, but I did have 2 hours of laughter and peace.
