Dreamt last night that I got the housework all done, then I woke up. Is this classified as a nightmare? Or is it just plain true that a "woman's" work is never done even when she's sleeping??
Eldest child in a snit, proceeds through the day to follow me around and inform me of every injustice she has suffered. She's a Pisces, not good match for Aries, at least when she can't figure out how to have some fun!
Take them to beach as usual. Eldest, "no friends here," "we're not deep enough," "can feel a weed if we go deep," "the little ones are following us." A child the world loves, if only they saw the face she gives her mother!
Figure I'll fill them up with good junk food: pizza, fries, pogo. Walk into the air-conditioning and it hits my wet body. Wham, my side goes into a spasm. Now it hurts to breathe deep, laugh, lean forward etc.
Do I know how to make a fine whine?
Can anyone do better?Twisted Willow
ps where are you all??

> Can anyone do better?I got frozen twice today (8 hours total): while doing CAT scan (cancer?)and in the lecture hall, still shivering. Then came back home and my raisin rye loaf burnt in the oven, no breakfast for me tomorrow. Husband seeks attention which he won't get and my son doesn't talk to me because I started smoking again. Finals approaching havent studied yet. No desire either. Called a friend, no one's home.
otherwise, life is good. sort of :)
me today.

> I had one of those "I really hate myself" days. So bad i actually spent some time staring at razor blades in my medicine cabinet. My 16 year old son is alternately mildly civil and hostile, and my 13 year old daughter is bored and my husband clearly doesn't feel like I give him enough support. I don't feel like I can deal with even the mildest of tension or conflict and since it all makes me so edgy, I pretty much feel like i'm not fit to be around people. Let's definitely hope for something better tomorrow.

What's the saying, "for every action there's a reaction?" This one needs a long story so you will understand it. The effexor is working for me, yet there are some side-effects. I smoke like crazy and coffee tastes soooooo gooooooood. Plus my skin is somehow irritated, perhaps it's dried out.
Anyway this fall is the first time I get to stand in a wedding party. So I want to look normal, right? All winter I have faithfully shaved my legs, (and Kazoo they did look good ; ) Summer hits and what do I get? A bunch of nicks! Today jumped in the shower and I'm sprouting like a blood fountain. What gives?
I forgot about it!
Thanks for the reminder Mair.
Dreamer how can you have a blister in your tongue, it must be on your tongue. Know when to give up on the hot knives, don't get so close.
Mila we should make a pact to quit together.
Good-night, sleep tight, and don't let the bedbugs bite!
Sappy Willow

Dear Mair,
haven't seen you around in a long time! welcome back...
2 teenagers, poor you, just know that teen yrs are hard and that it's not all your fault. Do you think maybe your husband is projecting--maybe he's not being supportive enough of *you*?
my day: i was at the cash register and a man walks up wearing a shirt that says: SMACK THE HELL OUT OF YOUR KIDS, THEY DESERVE IT, AND GOD SAYS IT'S OK." "What does your shirt mean?" I ask. "I'm not sure I understand--is that sarcasm?"
"no," he says, "it means what it says."
"and then you get to pay for years and years of therapy," i say.
"no, cuz by then they're 18 and independent," he says, grinning, and i clench my jaw--gots to stay professional, but aaaaarrrgggghhh.
i got 2 compliments on my lipstick and asked out on a date.
i'm now having a delicious snack of baby carrots and ranch dressing, and California sparkling wine.

Garlic - scream aaahhh burns but repairs mouth.
Short attention span causes abrupt scatty posts.

I am a creative person and I feel so dense and boring on this board with you all.
Thank you for this post. It makes me feel so much better. :)
I slept for four hours after dropping hubby off at the train again today (just woke up at 1:00 EST). Probably means I will sleep in spasmas again tonight. So the insomnia/inappropriate napping continues.
Can't seem to get anything going. Haven't worked for months now.
And I'm starting to sound like Porky the Pig, because of my med combo.
- K.
Mila -- Are you having to be tested for cancer???

>Sar - I can't believe you had the nerve to confront that guy about his t-shirt. Good for you, altho I hope you didn't buy yourself some needless aggravation. I know I'm not that awful, but I can't help but feel sometimes like I'm raising at least one rude self-centered angry person and that I deserve exactly what's happening with him. Anyway thanks. I did finally have a day I really can't whine about (or maybe just a tiny bit).
