dance baby dance

There's a saying... when it rains it pours and me my oh me has it only been true the past week.
It's as if the universe has been collecting and bottling up poop to fling at me all at the same time.
here's a little rundown of my Monday

• Full night of nightmares for both fish and I. (read as NO sleep)
• Wake up at 5:30 as need to do the school run for the Johnsons
• Accidentally wake up fish... now have a cranky baby.
• Try start car. Won't start.
• Oil light comes on, strap fish to my back, 30 minute walk to garage for more
• Oil NOT the issue. blocked fuel line.
• Try jumpstart the Audi... can't find the damn battery (it's under the backseat btw)
• Strap fish to back, 45 minute walk to his school
• Power goes out
• Run out of airtime

which was then followed by my Tuesday:

• Family friend found floating in a river by his home. Ruled as a suicide.

So yes... I've had a VERY bad week. BUT after an evening of bitching, winging, and moaning to friends who care I can say that no I don't feel my best but I sure as hell feel better. 
Some gave hugs, some just an ear, one even told me to stop being a moaning bitch and deal with it (thank you Superman) but friends... they come into your life so unexpectedly. They could be the last person you ever thought you'd have something in common with. They could be the pompous ass at the next table or someone you've known for years but never REALLY known till now.

There is a little something I tell everyone. Something that I don't listen to often enough myself but something that I have been doing of late. And maybe it's not the best way of dealing with things. Maybe pretending things are okay is unhealthy... but let's dance. let's just dance in the damn rain until the sun comes out and we can smile up at the rainbows.
so come on, take my hand, let's go dance in the rain... let's go splash in the puddles and let's LAUGH about all the shit being flung at us. let's just dance...

Yes. Friends. They are the important part of life.
So here is to mine.
You know who you are.

SMILE, you wear happiness well.
