RTBTCKI Separation Anxiety
Posted By Kathleen David on May 9, 2014
Today or rather this evening Caroline is going with her sister Gwen to visit her sister Shana down in Jacksonville Florida. Caroline has made this trip on her own several times. She’ll be back Monday. Yes, I know Sunday is Mother’s Day but I am a Mom the entire year and I want my daughter to have some fun in her life and this was a good opportunity for her to do so. We are going to video chat on Sunday.
Peter and I are sorting out the next couple of days as to what we are going to do with ourselves. It might be time to pull out those films that we can’t see when Caroline is around due to content.
It isn’t like we don’t get time together without Caroline. While she is in school we are alone. But having a chunk of no Caroline time is different. Meal planning is different. We don’t have certain activities on our docket.
I’ll miss her but I want her to have a good time and make pleasant memories for her to reflect on when she is older.
I have been feeling out of balance of late. Can’t put my finger entirely on why just one of those back of the neck things. Might be the change in seasons.
I will be happier when whatever pollen is gone that is causing my sinuses to swell making it hard to see or hear. I have tinnitus that, under normal circumstances, I can ignore. However when my sinuses are acting up, I find it harder to hear so I end up lip reading a lot. Turning up the volume just hurts since my hearing is working there is just more background noise. So I have my super hearing as per normal but it is more sensitive due to the buzzing in my ears.
Also my eyes are basically slits right now. I can see but they are swollen and I can feel the pressure behind the eyeballs. Not fun.
Fortunately there is rain today so may be that will ease the symptoms and once we are past this point in the pollen dance, I’ll be fine.
A lot of shows are ending for the season. Some we will see back and others are gone the way of the dodo. We are losing a couple that I enjoyed but my favorites are back for another season so overall I am happy.
Anyone else going to watch Penny Dreadful? It could be wonderful or it could be a train wreck or it could be a wonderful train wreck.
Happy Mother’s Day to all the various forms of moms out there. You know who you are. I am unsure if I will be blogging this weekend or not so I am putting this here.
I am looking forward to Once Upon a Time and thoroughly expect to be saying “You are stopping it there!?!?” at the end.
Elementary took an interesting turn last week and played it well this week. Looking forward to the next episode of the Blacklist and Castle.
Need to get my little girl packed for her trip.
I am grateful that Caroline is such a good traveler.
