I fucking hear you. It took me forever to get a chance just to read this. It’s like CAN I JUST GET FIVE MINUTES TO MY SELF PUHLEAZZE?

All I want to do is eat and eat and eat and sleep and sleep and then do all of it again.

All by myself.

No laundry.
No potty.
No anything.

And so I’ve been gaining weight like crazy and my fall clothes are tight and uncomfortable.

Boo. Hoo.

Moms, teachers and social workers all need more pay and respect than they will ever get.

I’ve always cried after sex, I have no idea why.

Most women cry before sex with me … the thought being both terrifying and revolting.

i also say “steve, rub my feet and give me five compliments.”

to a different steve, of course.

i understand what you’re going through. when i was really sick this summer and holed up in the house, i was so understimulated i didn’t know how to turn myself back “on” a lot of the time. i had lots of petty, mean feelings. i wanted to bite people.

the only thing that helped was hitting my crabby bottom and realizing that i’ve chosen to be where i am. it’s not an awful burden that i’m in my relationship, living here, etc. it’s not going well right now, but it’s totally something i wanted. and something i learned to want again. is this trite? i feel ya.

I wish I could half as productive as you in the amount of time I lived in Portland. You are a fantastic, smart, WOMAN, Mother and wifey. I’m sure you’ll be feeling back to your old self in no-time. You probably are over worked a bit. Of course if that’s not the case and you do NEED a trip away; you know where to find me!!

virtual hugging happens NOW!

For your two reviews that you have due, I suggest you stick your finger up your nose and then say, “Here you go, books.”

Moms get no respect and no help in this country. Violence may be the only answer.

As a personal alternative to violence (though it doesn’t address the bigger national issue), what are the chances that you can take a vacay anytime soon? Or hire a housekeeper and a nanny for a little while? Also, what does your drug budget look like lately?

Yes, my house is a frickin’ wreck too. It can get quite depressing. I am away from the house 12 hours a day, 5 days a week at work and the 3 hours a day I spend at home, while I am not sleeping, does not seem to be enough time to have quality time with my son, quality time with my husband, time to clean the darn house, clean up after the two dogs, and then there is that “me” time I am supposed to squeeze in there somewhere. Perhaps it will help to hear that to a certain extent we are in a similar boat. It can be draining to always have someone or something that needs something from you and you can never seem to give enough. And if you ever want to “get away” to Washington, let me know. Just give me a weeks notice so I can clear out a room for you and the fam.
