You know when you go to an action-packed movie, and the protagonist(s) survive one incredible crisis after another after another after another...you know how you get that tired, kinda-bored feeling with the movie? I'm feeling that way with my life.
I have the kids. Two small children. And there is plenty of figuring out how to get out of the house, on time, without forgetting anything...There's the additional irritation of Boy's "medical" drama.
HAPPILY, there is a BIG BRIGHT SHINNING STAR that is my Beloved! He has been given a promotion and a raise and I'm so proud of him!!! He's worked his tail off for this, and to get the recognition...yeah. WOW!
But then, there's the rest of the world that seems to be crashing and thrashing all around us. Separation-divorces. More medical crisis. Financial hurts. Friends and family who are just plain having a hellish time.
On the one hand, I want to help. On the other, I want to scream. And then there's the dispassionate part that wants to get up and go get more popcorn because the story is pretty much known and I am not really vested anymore...
*sigh*
Please share my congratulations with your Beloved for his promotion!
ReplyDeleteSometimes the best thing you can do to help is just be yourself. Sorry I couldn't make it to the event tonight. Ditto on the gratz for Beloved.
