good morning campers.......have you ever been going 1000 miles an hour and then nothing?..........it's like you change gears and switch to something else and then you just get blocked......feeling very ambivalent about doing anything at the moment.......hmmmmmm     
    see i was going fine....i had blocked out my day...even set alarms to help me switch gears.......i need that ........anyway got to the switching gears from of all things, cleaning........going into the sit at the computer to write the blog, check email, check instagram, facebook, etc......and i came to a complete stop..........................it's like even checking anything was a serious chore........so i thought i will go paint.........what do i paint, or draw, or create?........i have fallen into a very thick fog....saved by the bell...well the phone....be right back.............
      well it seems that "be right back" ended up being a week later......and i still have this not alot of motivation thing going on.........as i came back to this post i was thinking, great i have already gotten a bunch written.....nope.........my bad......
    so does anyone else have these issues too? feeling stuck, feeling blocked, mired in the mud?....oh wow that reminds me of super fun times........way back when my kids were young we would make mud angels in the backyard, well cause that's what our yard consisted of, same thing as snow angels but with mud.........that was sooo fun,  the neighborhood kids would come over and make them too.......probably most every parents worst nightmare, kids laying in mud, swishing about........but they had a blast....... we did mud painting, hang up big sheets of paper on the fence and let them go to town, well they didn't actually go to town, they stayed in the backyard, i mean sometimes we went to town, but well not then...... anyway........very inspirational.....well creative.......mud diving, kind of like slip n slide without the slide.........alot of good times.....
       my question to yall is what gets you out of this blah feeling? ......what gets you motivated and staying motivated?..........i know it's a whole kinetic energy thing........just start moving...i like to move it move it......or keep on swimming, keep on swimming.......just do something.....i can do it!!!.....and you can too....unless you already are and don't need a pep talk to get yourself going....cause basically your so far gone, you're outa sight....ha ha!.... be groovy! 

   happy new year campers!!!....it's gonna be a good one.........it's time to make resolutions...goals....set our sights on amazing things.....woohoo....starting something new.....always exciting..........i made a couple resolutions..... which i promptly broke the first day.......too much stress involved in trying to not break them......so i break them immediately.......at least there is no more stress with them....now i get on to doing them.......
       so something i've been thinking about is changing up the blog......first, write one every 2 weeks, instead of every week.....what a relief already!........2nd one is change the content a bit......sometimes.....like maybe have some more in depth thought provoking stuff.....thought provoking stuff....that just sums up how my brain works........stuff......
     life is categorized by me into stuff and more stuff.......ie-happy stuff, fluffy stuff, fun stuff, thought provoking stuff, art stuff, llama stuff, heavy stuff...that could be filed under thought provoking or elephant ..........bunny stuff, outdoor stuff, stuffy...which is something my son used to carry around with him......so stuffy could be filed under loveys or noses.......God stuff, groovy stuff, creating stuff outa stuff......tell me....does the word stuff look weird? ....and more stuff....
           so i'm not exactly sure where i'm going with my stuff but at least it's all slightly filed....or stuffed into stuff drawers........when you open them up it's a stuff explosion.......similar to my empty container explosion of 95'.....i'm not really sure of an exact date, but  it does happen all the time......
           so back in 95' or just pick a date.....or a fig......but i can't seem to let go of empty containers, cause you always need one....for something......so every empty container we had or accumulated....we would shove in this cabinet....and no we didn't match up lids with containers, cause why would you do something that organized?.......but there is a law of physics or gravity or some law that states something to the effect that "only x amount of stuff can go in a y sized cabinet until x plus y equal z-explosion ".....but still even knowing this law exists....we still try to shove more containers in the cabinets...... by we i mean me.....the lids are easy cause you don't have to open the cabinet far to slide them in........ the containers you have to be more creative and open 1 side while someone stands beside you holding back the avalanche of containers trying to burst out....then slam the door shut.....sometimes you have to hold the doors shut for a bit while stuff settles....then you're good to go.......so back in 95"....our container cabinet was at it's bursting point.........i believe we had a chair shoved in front of it to keep everything from escaping...........one of the kids....surely it wasn't me.....well cause my name's bobbi not shirley.....come to think of it, we don't have a shirley living at the house.......imposter!!!........so i believe it was a shirley who snuck in and encouraged the explosion.....you gotta watch those shirleys.....they are sneaky little devils.........but anyway.....one of the kids...surely it wasn't me.....it's like ground hog day over and over........did shirley sneak in again?
          but anyway,  one of the kids started for the cabinet.....i was in the back of the house...(i'm making this up now.....well kind of).......i heard the squeal of the chair being pulled away from the cabinet......a dread thought raced into my brain......"not the chair in front of the cabinet!!!".......i heard the vibration of shifting containers.....it was just like an earthquake approaching....you heard the rumble and were looking around to see where the truck was cause it sounded like it was coming straight for you........i felt a shift in the time continuum.......not really sure what that is but it sounded good....i looked it up and still don't understand it, but i think it has something vaguely to do with the containers, something about elements(containers) varying (shifting) by minute degrees (starting to move out)  .....i'm such a brainiac..........not.......anyway.......i dropped everything and leaped over boxes and dogs and kids to try to stop the onslaught that was coming......i heard the gasp of a child ......i believe nature got eerily quiet and a green hue was cast over the town.......sorry now i'm referring to a tornado................i reached the edge of the kitchen as a loud rumble, crash, screams, and out blew 5000 pounds of containers....hitting the living room wall....2 sent the cat flying....the dog  got hit on the tail.......chairs were knocked over... lights were swinging....a neighborhood kid was pinned against a wall..... lamps were broken..... lids started whizzing past my head.... i ducked for cover but got hit in the arm......"man down" i yelled.........a peanut butter sandwich was sent flying out the window.......i think there was a scarecrow and a lion too, but i might have been knocked out from the pain.........
           when the dust finally settled....and trust me there was alot of dust....i believe dust is to protect furniture....soooo......moving on,  i dragged myself into what was the kitchen....i heard a muffled murmur.......i started digging to find the lost child..........which buried a couple other kids in the process......i sent in the dog to try to track down the child..."find, search" i yelled.......the dog ran off with the peanut butter jar........i'm still digging when i see a toe.....and it's moving...."hurrah!!!"......i finally free the wild eyed child and we all rejoice!!!!......"she's been found, she's been found!!!".....
          it was quite emotional, we found the peanut butter sandwich and gave it to the found child....10 sec rule....or something like that............the cat was not seen for a couple days....the kids played king of the mountain on the containers....we freed the neighborhood kid who thought this was grand fun and can't we do it again  tomorrow........then we had to clean up....yikes.......so with everyone's help, we shoved all 5000 pounds of empty containers.....you guessed it...back in the cabinet.....why throw this stuff away....you might need it....right?!......then firmly pushing the chair in front of it and telling everyone "do not move the chair under any circumstances"....we all enjoyed the rest of the day.........
       that evening we were getting ready to sit down to dinner when my husband went in the kitchen cause we were short one chair.............one of these days i gotta get rid of some of those containers....and definitely have more thought provoking posts like this one........maybe that will be the resolution i break next new year......or just file it under "heavy  
stuff".......be groovy
