Ahh Fair Maiden You CAN Slay The Dragon!

So, here we are only 5 days into this journey and the old, ugly, green monster reared it's head not only once, but TWICE today.  That darn emo-eating dragon found his way out of his moat and up into my castle!

Started out with my finally telling a family member about the recent decision.  Of course, their reply is "why not just have surgery?"  Well....just because it worked for you, doesn't mean I want it!  Nope, I'd like to learn WHY I do this to myself over and over and give it 150%...and I can admit, I've never seen it through before and darn it, I need to commit that to myself before I take the surgery route.  So thanks for the instant want to steal a few pieces of my kids Halloween candy, but in the long run it has only fueled my motivation. 

Slash one to the dragon!

Then there's the frustration of a day of defiance by a child can create.  Oh dear dragon, you tempt me so!   But alas, you AND the child will not lead me to the moat to live with you. 

Dragon slayed....for today! 

I know he will return...but for tonight, I am going to enjoy my time in the castle knowing he is tucked away in his murky moat.

  1. Well done, you! More of this tomorrow, no doubt. Maybe the kid needs to get in the moat, too?
