Shake It Out




Oh man!
I gotta let this go.

I hate when this foolishness comes. I hate who I am when I swing low. Every word of this tripe fills me with a flood of self hatred... but 'they' tell me to write. 'They' being the various experts that have had a hand in my progress to date. 'They're' all I've got. I have to at least try it their way.

I find myself angry about things that are quite possibly irrational. I mean, there is an underlying issue with the division of household responsibility, but it's obvious I am being a little dramatic. Don't get me wrong, I'm truly very angry. The emotional response is the same, but I can actually see that I'm out of whack. 

So... I'm aware of the fact that I am being unreasonable... mind you, unless he is reading this blog, my spouse would have no clue I've been so twisted... so I guess no harm, no foul. Still... This is very uncool... and in some ways, I feel like my response is getting worse. The time it takes me to spot the behavior has lessened drastically, but it's like I go from zero to a hundred in seconds.

It's exhausting.
I'm exhausting.

Plus I haven't had sex in twelve days.

My coochie has been healing, but I was rather sick over the weekend and then away Sunday night. Now he's gone to the Island, hopefully home tomorrow... I'm feeling very detached. Among other things.

Ulch!

Rain rain, go away.

From One Mother, to Another

(Written Nov 29, 2022 ~ Still relevant... picking up July 20, 2023)  It's been a while.  I mean... I've typed out a whole bunch of words... over and over again... but I've been so stuck.  I had a meeting with one of the executives I support in my current position this morning. She was telling me that she's leaving the company.  She's an amazing woman. Her credentials and education are so far beyond impressive, I can't even describe... but today, she said that she was going to take a beat before moving into a new role... and spend some time with her kids.  She has two and they're young.  Her comment was that (I'm never going to get the wording right on this) she isn't the 'kind of mom that I am'. That she isn't 'there' to put them to bed and she isn't 'involved' in their day to day like I am. That her mother recently reminded her of the fact that they grow up... 'with or without you'.  I have a great deal of res

I know I have been a slacker on the fun MeMe's lately. I thought perhaps I might try to rectify this little problem and join in today with Chiefy and her highly fun theme. Without further ado: On Monday night, my hubs came home from work at his usual 10:30(ish) pm. I had recently awoken in my daughter's bed and come downstairs to watch one of my most fav shows (The Big Bang Theory ... don't judge me - it is funny!) ... I had fallen into a sound stupor while trying to get my brats beautiful darlings to go to sleep and I was barely coherent. My hubs had come in and then disappeared for a little while ... I thought it odd, but didn't dwell as my show was starting. When he finally came into the living room  with his plate of dinner, (yes, I save him a plate from our dinner to eat when he gets home) he asked me how I was feeling. I found that odd. I said: "Why?" in a highly suspicious tone. He didn't say anything else until the next commercial break. Hub

This is dedicated to the one(s) I love .... (gotta sing it)

Yesterday was my 37th birthday. I was sick for the entire day and mighty worried I was in for a pretty miserable few days. I went to work and did my thing (I know I should have stayed home, but that is not the sort of place I work in) and the gals at my office threw a little lunch time party for me, complete with chinese food and cake ... and card and song and even a gift certificate for a hair-do at a local salon (okay - so you know your "do" is a "don't" when you get a certificate like this from your co-workers... unclench, Eyvi - I know I've been bitching about my hair for months ... I'm just funnin'). To them, I say TYVM ... for making me gain 5 more pounds... no, I'm kiddin' again - I am so touched. Thanks guys - you ROCK! I don't plan to spend a whole bunch of time yaking about the 'day' itself. It's just that birthdays have a tendancy to cause somewhat of a retrospective thought path ... especially when one is campe
