Oof Cindy. That all sounds super rough. I hope some of it smooths out soon.
I'm all up in the law now, but damn it feels good to get my violence on.

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.
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.
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.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I had leftover chicken marsala for lunch, and that is about the best thing that's happened so far today.

What is even happening?
I went to make French Toast, because I was feeling sorry for myself.
Oldest son called.
I burnt the French Toast.
I'm out of eggs.
I wish I had a root and [whatever that thing is we used to say], which I think Shawn originated.
ZenKitty, how are you doing?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Oh man, Cindy. That is A Lot. Here's hoping things get better for everyone.... eventually.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
And here I was, feeling sorry for myself because I woke up thinking that it was Saturday, and then drove out wondering why I was seeing all these people and schoolbuses and so on.
