Good Enough

“It’s going to be okay.” 

Chant it with me people, make it your mantra, because hopefully it will be okay, and it usually ends up being so.

I was despairing, and I don’t even know if that’s a word, but I’ll make it one because I was in despair for a few days…

I cried. I got in my car and played some extremely sappy music and cried my guts out. Because I knew no one could hear me.

My children went to a dear friends house, (it’s so nice to keep a few good friends around for such emergencies) my husband was home with the babe. He despaired (I’m making words up as I go) for a shorter time than me. He’s much better at rebounding. 

Just another reason why I married him. (Although I didn’t know it at the time. I count my blessings every day I said yes to the boy/man.) 

Anyhoo, meetings were made, people talked, issue’s were resolved. I wish that I could wave a magic wand and make everyone feel all the way better. I wish I was as calm and brave as my husband. I wish I could take the world onto my shoulders and come out with an attitude like his. He’s my hero.

My next question for the world is why do certain people, (and I’m not speaking of myself) get dumped on? Why does it seem to constantly pour on one person and not another? Is it considered a socialist attitude to wonder why bad luck and fortune don’t spread themselves out a little more evenly?

So friends, neighbors, countrymen…

I want to know something. Because I know this is universal, I know everyone has their trials.  So tell me about your dark, sad hours, those times when your heart was pounding and your stomach was wrenched, when your eyes were bloodshot from crying so hard.

What did you do in those times?

Do you pray?

Did it help?

Do you feel alone and helpless?

What if you couldn’t vent to family members, what would you do then?

What happens when you’re so worried for your little family, and feel like there is really no place to turn.  

What do you do to pass the time while you wait for things to get better?

Tell me your stories.

I always feel sheepish when I’ve neglected my dear little blog for too long. But you must understand that NaNoWriMo is going on right now and I’m busy writing on another level.

But I received an e-mail the other day that was intriguing.

She claimed she had a product that seemed to fit the “Good Enough” theme and would I like to try it out.

Her e-mail address was with this company. 

Well of course at first I laughed. How did she know that I am not one to pre-treat my clothes?

Because I don’t, I never have. Well, there was that month back when I was nesting and my sweet babe was about to come into thisworld and I pre-treated her clothes, and any other potential stains with some kind of stain treatment before tossing them into the washing machine.

It was a very short lived time. One that I’m sure Mr.Good and my other children would appreciate me re-visiting.

But my friends, it may be a VERY long time before that happens again.

Until then, there are Pukies! This clothing was specially designed with your wee babe in mind. The colors are forgiving of stains, and the fabric is really soft and comfortable. It’s made from organic cotton and soy fibers. I don’t know if that’s what makes it so soft but it’s kind of nice not to worry about toxins on your baby’s skin.

I just wish they made them in adult sizes, or maybe just maternity clothes? Because I was always getting food on my huge belly.

Anyone that comments will be entered into a drawing to win a package of their very own Pukies bibs, in all four colors. I will be drawing names Nov. 28th. So comment, people!

It would make a hilarious baby shower gift, or use them with your own babe if you have one. Until next time, happy eating everyone!
