Positive Points... (8-13)
"Maybe your gift is being in denial."
- Little Girl (That kid was SHADY 😂😂😂)
Or... Or...
"Uh, not if we don't have a house. *dad nudges him* What? I can't say we don't have a house? *points* What is that? Not a house."
- Carmillo (Both from "Encanto"... I love that movie!)
These last few days contained quite a few positive points. I counted like, six in 3days. Starting with *clears throaté dramatically*
Saturday morning was my discovery of this…
^BTS has a new web series. This made my Saturday seeing as how the 1st high point of the day revolved around me getting off work early. (11:15ams to be exact) I recommended it to Caleb cuz it seems right up his alley and I mean if you remove the BTS angle. It's really just that good. I don't have a favorite character just yet, but once someone stands out, I'll get back to you.
When the kids got to the house, Laurynn gave me a little book that she made and two blow pops. I thought they were hers and she was just showing me what was in her unicorn bag. (Which I kinda want) I went to give them back to her and she was like: "No, I did this for you." *sobs in motherhood* 😭😭😭
Saturday evening gifted me with Encanto…
^My favorite character is Camillio. I relate to him and his powers the most. He's a chameleon. He adapts to what's happening. I like how this movie covers how sometimes we as adults force our traumas on our children, thinking that they will suffer through the same and in that, we deny them their own experiences because we're scared of what could happen if they choose paths of their own. (Sidebar: It was Kai who cried)
Sunday gifted me with an ice storm that was supposed to be snow but, nope. (I still feel so robbed!) Nah… For reals tho', it gifted me with Ron's Gone Wrong which pretty much put into a fictional world exactly why I say family time/Sunday in general isn't social media time. We are raising an era of children who are dependent on social media. They can't function without the internet. Next, it gifted me with Coco, which reminded me that no matter how mad you may get at someone, true, unconditional love never dies and you can't force your pain on your children. This movie reminded me that I'm doing the right thing by not dragging Player 456 through the mud all over this house. It would only cause me bitterness and cause the kids to see him as the devil incarnate. I write of all these horrible things this man has done, but at the end of the day, that's still family and each family has a shadow they try not to talk about "We don't talk about you no, no, no…🎶🎶🎶" (Sidebar: "We Don't Talk About Bruno" is one of the best parts of Encanto. Bruno is life 💜💜💜)
We ended the evening watching Disney movies and playing UNO while we waited for Kai and Laurynn to leave. Player 456 was their ride. When he got here, he asked could he shower and while he was in, the kids and I were sitting on the floor singing "Hakuna Mutata" and I'm really glad I have this memory. When he got out, the kids invited him to play UNO so I dealt him in. Which reminds me, Laurynn swerved the shit outta Kai! Kai was telling her to change the color to red and in the cutest, most manipulative tone, she tossed out a wild card and went: "Green." When asked why she did such a thing, she goes: "I remembered Mommy saying your cards were red." When I tell you I laughed 'til I couldn't breathe! Kai got mad cuz I kept bringing it up and ended up rage quitting later over Draw 2 gate… UNO brings out the worst in these kids! They're all so competitive! Kai ended up crying later… OVER UNO 😩😩😩
I talked to Player 456 about where his life is and I told him that I told Kai he didn't have to feel as if he needed to keep me up to date on what happens across the pond. (After he told me something rather upsetting about the dark lord) I told him that I was sorry he was ever placed in a position where he felt as if it was his job to report on people, but over here, he would never be asked about over there. If I need information, I know where to go and it would never be to him and I'm sorry if nobody has ever said that before.
Player 456's life is spiraling according to him. I told him he chose this life and he needed to accept that. I didn't get mean/nasty/petty. At this point, it just is what it is and I am who I am because of it and you know what? That's okay
Today's high point was the logging company dropped a tree on our power lines. Doesn't sound like a positive does it? Well, it was. See, instead of panicking, the kids and I sat in front of the door and played UNO until they came back on.
I've had an interesting existence these last few days and I like that the majority of my stories involve my kids
*smiles peacefully*
