a place to put random discourses on life
in my little corner of the world.

My stomach hurts.
It's that pain you get where it hurts so bad, you wonder if you have an ulcer. But it's not.

My head hurts.
It's that throbbing pain that gets worse when you think about how much it hurts.

and no medicine will help. I'm just miserable. All I want to do is go curl up somewhere and sleep till it's over, but I can't.

I have to clean up the house. I've been letting it go becuase I just didn't want to deal with it and now...now, I really need to deal with it. I've made progress, the kitchen is clean and the 9 loads of laundry are mostly folded on my bed....if only I can get them put away before the get messed up again.

I have to be mom. I have to be happy and supportive of my kids. No letting on to how I really feel.

I have to be a wife. I have to keep my chin up and be supportive for just a little longer. I don't want to make this harder on him.

I have to be the FRG leader. I have to be positive and supportive for all these women going through this for the first time.

I don't want to positive and happy and strong and supportive, but I will. I'll hang in there for a little more. and then I think I'm going to let it out. I can't yet, because once you give in, it's over. But soon....very soon.

You sound like you really need sometime alone and for yourself - outside somewhere sitting on a small rug on the grass next to a river that is running gently by. The birds singing quietly in the trees above. The genlte breeze caressing your skin as you breathe the fresh air in.

Count to 10 slowly - take in osme deep breaths and relax over a cup of tea for 10 minutes.

I hope you feel better soon and that things improve in your "lot" soon.

sending you a hug and some energy.

((((((((Crying with you Dana))))))))) Tell him to get out of the army as soon as he gets a chance. It's so not worth it.

Read my new article....I'm actually okay. The Army has good days and bad. That was a bad day. Not cause he was leaving, but because stupidity, beuracratic BS and lazy soldiers nearly ruined our last day together. But he did get home, we went to Allmart and carved pumpkins....a anti-climatic ending, but good nevertheless.

This broke my heart, and I cried too. For all of them, and for all of you.

Yeah, that's my "I really need to just cry" trick. I dare anyone to watch that and not get emotional.

Actually, that was the problem. Alone time. I didn't want it. But I may in a few weeks after being with my kids 24/7!

Thanks for all the hugs, foreverserenity, Dr. Guy and all. It's nice to know you care.
