Mercury Retrograde

I think everything affects everything, yes we can make our own choices, and yes its God's plan, but the path we take is ours, and sometimes things get wacky, and I guess it is good to have a reason, or maybe it is just an excuse :)

So this whole week things are just a bit off, I wrote about it yesterday, not horrible, definitely can be figured out, Thank God not life altering.  Today it continues, I had the most amazing stroller walk wit moms in my community, and even some moms that are done with strollers joined us.  Some moms made new friends, and a few of us stayed later just talking.  When it was time to go I went to my car, took my baby out of the stroller, and while I was putting him in his car seat, he was so squirmy, and fussy, and I knew he was tired.  So when I finally buckled him in, I jumped into the car and drove home, what did I forget?

So luckily the park is less than five minutes from my home, I park and look to see what I need to take into the house, and then start to wonder where the diaper bag is, and then it hit me, or actually I was not sure, did I put the stroller in the trunk?

OY!

I put the car in drive and sped back and Thank God the park was busy, it was light, right before I saw the stroller, I saw a group of guys walking and started to panic, and worse than losing the stroller would be explaining to my husband what happened.  I am forgetful with my keys, phone, sunglasses, but Thank God not the baby!!!

It was there, I saw a few ladies and said, can you believe it I forgot my stroller, and they laughed and also said it was good I at least had the baby. 

Mom's cut mom's some slack,
we have each others back.
We walk around the track,
and love to hear each other yack!

For those of you that are close to my husband, keep this quiet, I know you are laughing, but he doesn't read this thing, and I know his friends and family do, LOL.

So I keep on seeing people post about Mercury Retrograde, and here are the dates for it this year:

February 23–March 17 in mystical Pisces
June 26 to July 20 in responsive Cancer
October 21 to November 10 in super psychic Scorpio

Basically people say that things are just off, and sometimes not so great, and here is a good description, and a link below if you want to read more.

"A major cause of stress at Mercury retrograde is frustration from mishaps, things breaking down, computers going black. But if we know it's cycle, this makes it feel less terminal. If things go pear-shaped, see what's there to see. Take a break from the usual routine."

I just took an amazing self defense class yesterday, and most of it was about awareness of our surroundings, listening to our instincts, and that yelling and running away actually surprise the attacker, they want easy targets and to cause the least amount of attention possible.  The best thing to yell is "fire" instead of help or no, it definitely gets attention.

So the whole point of the blog today is that life is always flowing up and down, so it is all a lesson, and we have to get up and dust off  and move on.  Also it is important to be aware, and especially for me to double check that I am leaving with what I came with.  That is why we are here on earth to be challenged and to grow, and my mother says, different people get different homework from God.  All I know is Thank God I got my stroller!
