I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

My internal jukebox has basically become parts of what could be an entire Broadway show about never having children. We'll call it Cautionary Tale.

The main song "Never Have Children" has a bit if an Avenue Q feel

Never have children
No, never have kids
Your hormones will tell you you want them,
But they're LYING!!!!!

Basically I have this much of several catchy tunes. I'm considering it a coping mechanism that is slightly more healthy than drinking.

And I promise I am not singing them out loud in fro tvof the child.

Herding cats for fun

ugh, Mac. If you can't get along at home and won't work or graduate from high school, are you planning to be homeless? There is no place to plug in your x box then.

Oof Cindy. That all sounds super rough. I hope some of it smooths out soon.

Our wings are not tired.

I'm sorry, Cindy. That is just way too much in way too many directions.

Also, msbelle, I could have told you parenting sucks. Much of the time. I'm not exactly sure most days what the upside is supposed to be.

What is even happening?

Way too much for you too, msbelle. Every day, I sit here reading your posts and wishing I could help you somehow, even if it's just to lessen the load. And I don't know what you can do, other than what you're doing.

I wish you could hear the laugh that escaped my throat. It was a little scary, though.

Thanks everybody. It hasn't been a bad five years in some ways (with lots of good in there). I'm feeling what Cashmere once described for me as "ground down."

msbelle, when I read your posts, I always think about that term.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Cindy, I'm so sorry.

That's way too much to deal with all at once, Cindy.

Oh, Cindy that's so hard. It's so disheartening to have so many things squeezed on so many different fronts. I'm so sorry.

msbelle, what you're going through is so incredibly stressful and frustrating, and I know you must be heartsore too.
