May or May Not Monday

May or May-Not Monday: Where you can divulge the secrets of life's mishaps without feeling like a failure. So go on... own up. I may have...

I may or may not have had the first toilet overflow ever. Of course it wasn’t just pee. Of course my little tried to fix it first, possibly making it worse. Of course it was the bathroom with actual hardwood floors. Of course the water was running up and down the hallway. Of course I’m now doing a third load of laundry today.

I may or may not have an autoimmune disease that causes my body to experience extreme heat intolerance. Now in the past year I’ve had a major breakthrough with restoring my strength due to Vital Protein Collagen and Liver Pills, selenium, CoQ10, & D3. So this year my attitude towards this heat intolerance isn’t very tolerant. Whereas in years past, I always felt horrible so the heat intolerance was just another reason I was bed ridden for more than a decade. What exactly is heat intolerance? My autonomic system is faulty with regulating body temperature. The moment I step outside in the heat my blood vessels open larger causing my body not to circulate and rise to the surface, my sweat glands either don’t work or overwork depending on which malfunction my body chooses. Blood does not get to my brain, I get severely dehydrated in a matter of minutes, and will end up passed out.  Going inside does not cause my body to cool down properly because my body temperature regulation doesn’t function on either end. Usually I end up in the er to get filled up with fluids once a summer from overdoing it too many times. But y’all I’m tired of it. I am having to stay inside in a dark house all day. Swimming doesn’t help, half the time I’m just doing everything I can not to pass out and drown so my kids can swim.  I’m over the 100 degrees plus or minus 3 degrees for months. I wish I had the ability to live somewhere in the summer that is pleasant not hot. This summer girl is renouncing it. 

I may or may not be watching a lot of movies with my littles while we hide from the heat. This week we watched You’ve Got Mail a few times. They love it! Yay!! Don’t we all want to be Kathleen Kelly with her magical bookshop, perfect wardrobe and hair? 

I may or may not use Doterra oils but wish I could use another company. Having to pay for shipping and it take forever to get here when I live 5.5 hours away drives me crazy. Having to pay for PV point redemption when I’ve already earned them - maddening. Their website confuses me every single time with their company speak and acronyms. 

I may or may not have littles that response in blank stares when adults ask them if they are bored on their summer break. For one, they are self entertainers, they are never bored. For two, why are you bored? The world is yours to explore. Don’t you utilize your curiosity and creativity as an adult? There’s always something to learn and chores to do. And it’s not healthy to view excitement as the best and only form as entertainment. Why do we train ourselves and kids to be bored when we can train to see the world full of potential to experience, relish, and drink in even in the quiet moments?
