It’s been a crazy two days. This afternoon I was all itchy. You know that feeling? You are just so full of stuff-to do, to think, to try to figure out-that you literally feel like your skin might burst because you’re full? You don’t know it? Just me? Damn. Oh well.
Sometimes I feel like it really is just me that gets this way and I don’t like it. I’m not one to enjoy a pity party for long. So this is when I reach out and read other blogs. And you know what? Every single time someone reaches right back and says exactly what I need to hear.
Tonight, after I couldn’t find the name of the baptismal priest for The Girl to complete her homework and The Middle One’s bike chain broke and I failed to fix it and The Baby simply laid on the floor and scream-cried because he was hungry for “MORE SNACK” (a nightly occurrence), I did what I do best in times of mama strife-reached into the magical world of my laptop. First, I found this which of course made me laugh out loud. Seriously? Humour? Is there anything this woman can’t do?

Next, I found this. Which led me to this. I mean, c’mon. Jodi always seems to actually hear what’s in my brain even though she doesn’t know me from Adam. And now, not only does she write a post that quickly makes me stop being a whiny pain in the a** but she leads me to this new space with such positive messages you can’t help but get out of your own pity pool and move on.
I love my bloggy friends. We may not be able to get wine together. Hell, they don’t even know who I am-most of ’em but they always know just what to say and for that I (and my children) am very thankful.
