My Turn
September 2nd, 2009

when is it my turn for a breakdown?  when will the stars align and the calendars magically empty themselves of all obligations so I can fall apart?  do single people with no kids have a corner on the market?  how about married folks who have a partner to look out for the kids while the other one dissolves into a puddle on the shower floor?  is there a list to get on?  do I need to slip someone a $50?  keep going, keep plugging away, keep focused, keep the order, keep the mascara handy for a touch-up, keep the kitchen cleaned and the laundry folded, keep the cat box scooped and for heavens sake, keep the coffee brewing.

    HUG!! It’ll be OK.

    There is no reason to have a breakdown if the stars align and the calendars magically empty themselves of all obligations.

    BFF could probably be bribed for less than $50.

    You were married. Did you ever have a partner to look out for the kids while you dissolved into a puddle on the shower floor? Or did you have the two guys you married?

    quit being my voice of reason. *grin* i’m better today, it just builds and builds and builds and every now and then it bubbles over. don’t you know i want perfection? i want it all?

    I know how you feel. I feel that way sometimes too.

    it gets frustrating because i hold it in, i don’t share with those who are closest to me, then it gets to the point where i feel like i’m going to explode. then i keep holding it in because it’s gotten so bad that it’s too much to have to explain to anyone. self-imposed insanity!

    A good cry now and again never hurt anything.

    Hugs, girl…I know it’s a tough go alone, but you do a darn good job of it.

    the tears just have a nasty habit of flowing at the wrong time.
