silver linings

I haven't blogged for a while,, wow this site has changed a bit.

I have had one of the worst days here in a while and I know as I write this that in the grand scheme of things it is nothing absolutly nothing but I need to write it somewhere so it leaves me for a minute. Hubby has been away working since August and not really that contactable as phones drop out and coverage and ..... Kids are beginning to drive me nuts and little things with them that generally get piffiled away are getting yelled at, my family are, to be fair not all of them.. have said some pretty unforgivable things to me with other members saying don't worry about it. Well you do don't you. being trodden all over and still expected to be all smiley and accomodating, Walked out of job this morning, after being treated like crap all week, and am so tired i could lay down and not bother to get up again and allthis crap has made the band so tight nothing for me tonite....

The silver lining is....

Ayear ago I would of put up with all the sh**$t.

But Laying in bed going over everything again and agian as you do I realised , I dont have to take it, I am deserve better than that, and for the first time ever I mean it, I actually believe it.

How to deal with it all , who knows????????????????????????????? Right now i don't think i even care.

AND it feels better just to put it out there

Cheers Chooky

I know exactly how you feel. My husband has been deployed three times and sometimes I just lose my cool. I'm frustrated with him being gone and I take it out on my daughter, for stupid things actually. At those times it just seems like everything is working against you. You are right though, you are more deserving of all that and you are the one that needs to make yourself happy. Way to go on realizing that too .. I think that is the first step!!

Chooky, before your band you probably would have handled all of this stress by eating. You did great by getting on this site and venting. It does feel good to get it out of your system. We all have days/weeks that can be pretty crappy. Take some time for yourself. I find when I do that...it makes it better for everyone. As for the family members, there will always be a few. Just keep moving forward and don't let their negativity bring you down. If they want to be miserable and negative let them. I hope the beginning of this week gets better for you!
