serious shit

Clearing up a few things.

I agonised over the last post.  Trying to convey a mix of ‘I am OK’ with an apology for being kinda ‘not OK’.
I consider you all my friends, and that is why I felt you deserved an explanation.  Amongst other reasons that I will not go into here.
But with the influx of emails and private [...]

The truth is, I haven’t been completely honest with you all.
I have shared so much – everything really – and then there is something that is so terribly horrendous, something that shatters my heart into a million pieces on an hourly basis, something that has put me in a permanent state of panic and terror [...]

Leaving home.

She is leaving.
So grown up.
An adult.  Spreading [...]

I knew I was perfect for it.  I know the work, could just jump right on in and rock the shizzle out of it.

A fresh cooling breeze hitting my shoulders from the open window beside me.
The TV is off, the only sounds are Strong Bad on loop coming from Boo’s bedroom while he sits in the family room with MPS making a ‘movie’.
I hear a helicopter in the distance, the only thing [...]

As I type this, at 9.10pm Sunday night, it is less than 10 hours until Moo logs on to her computer and finds out the result of 13 years of schooling.
In less than 10 hours from now, we will be standing watching, waiting, biting our nails waiting for her reaction.
In less than 10 hours from [...]

Ugly

I was wandering around the internetz, being a dirty rotten lurker and I came across Miss Britts post about feeling ugly.
And it hit a nerve.  A big ol’ ouchy nerve.  Cause even those as lovely as Miss Britt have days when they think they could rival Jabba the Hut.
I don’t think that there is a [...]

Alexander tells me…

Alexander is the head shrinker I have been seeing.
Alexander tells me that I am fascinating.
Alexander tells me that I am one of those people who just cope no matter what life throws that them.
Alexander tells me that I tend to cope by using humour and sarcasm to hide my stress.
Alexander tells me that I have [...]
