Flash Fiction 55

Have a super duper long weekend everyone in Canada...and to my friends south of the border next weekend is yours!!

“Tick, tick, tick”, goes the office clock, moving slowly and taunting her.  “Why does it move so slowly some days?”  Amy turned her chair to gaze out the window at the beautiful day.  She does not want to be here today…NOT ONE LITTLE BIT.  It is the first long weekend of the summer after all...

Teenager-itis

I am sure you all know the symptoms of it.  You may have been a victim of it yourself at one time or are trying ever so patiently to deal with your own child's symptoms.  Yes, teenageritis. Symptoms include but are not limited to: mood swings, mouthiness, getting immense pleasure out of another's pain or discomfort (especially a sibling or parent), lack of cleanliness, laziness, and the list could go on and on.  Perhaps I should seek out a support group for parents of children suffering with teenageritis or perhaps I should just give them both a swift kick in the ass and call it a day.  At any rate, mine are driving me absolutely BATTY!!  I need a vacation.

COUPON - ING!

OMG...have you ever heard of such a thing?  They have even made a reality television show about extreme couponing and I have a friend that was talking about it the other day.  So I checked out one of the links on Facebook and next thing I knew I had a pile of coupons and 6 HOURS had gone by.  I even created a new email address specifically for signing up for coupon sites!!!  I think I have lost my freakn' mind!  Now I do know that things are little different in Canada than in the States, here you can only use one coupon per purchase.  In the states they stock pile them and people have walked out of stores with $900 worth of groceries and maybe paid $30...WHAT THE HECK!

All I can say is that I hope my addictive personlality doesn't take me down the road of this addiction...I don't have the space to store it all.  hahaha!

I hope everyone is up and running properly again.  My blog is still missing a post so here's hoping this one works!

Amy stood on the balcony watching the sun set over the ocean.  The warm soft breeze sent a shiver through her body.  She heard his footsteps behind her and her pulse quickened.   Slowly he slipped his arm around her waist and pulled her against him.  Amy trembled internally, feeling his hot breath on her neck…

My Mom

Today is my mom's birthday and yes, she seems to get ripped off every year in the birthday/mother's day gift department, and all she says is, "I am just glad you are here".  My mom is my best friend and I cherish her more than I can ever put into words.  I really don't know what I would have done without her over the years.  She has comforted me during my separation and divorce and other daily trials. And she let me do what I needed to do while I was in my addiction, but never abandoned me and was there to pick me up and brush me off when I finally became sick and tired of being sick and tired.  She is the one I turn to when I need a friend to talk to and when I need spiritual advice...and yes...when I need to borrow money too.  I share everything with her and am SUPER grateful to my Creator for giving me such a wonderful, compasionate, loving, caring mother.  I hear others talk about their relationships with their mother's and can't even imagine speaking about her in that way.  Maybe when I was a kid and mad at her for not letting me do something, but I think that was even few and far between.  She liked me to learn my lessons through experience, and I did.  And quite honestly, I am a better person for it.  I like to think that one day I will be half the woman that she is, and for that I will be thankful.

Thank you Mom for being who you are and for loving me no matter what.

Flash Fiction 55

I haven't played in a couple of weeks or even contributed to my blog.  This has been a crazy busy week, as life gets sometimes and I still struggle with balance.

So here is this Friday's submission...

The search for Lord Stanley's Cup creates chaos in the stands.  Hockey fans experience the highest of highs and the lowest of lows.  Players are praised and ridiculed in the same breath.  Pulses race and blood pressure rises as your favourite team gets closer to the ultimate prize.  Will they do it? GO CANUCKS GO!
