I made it through the workday, and then the dam broke. J and I stopped at the market for bread on the way home, he whined about having to go to the store, the store was crowded, someone was rude to me, and that was it. That was the end of my being able to deal with the world today. I left my shopping basket in the jam/jelly aisle and we walked out. When we got home I shut myself in the bathroom and cried for quite a while.
Ultimately I pulled myself together, made dinner, and watched a movie with J. But I still feel like I might fall apart again any second.
There's a big jumble of fear and frustration and exhaustion inside me right now. This weekend I will lie low, and on Monday we'll see if I'm still nutty. Maybe I just needed a good cry.
It's ok to let it out. Sometimes that's all it takes to get back on the horse and move on with life.
Sending you hugs girl.

huge hugs darling. It's that time of year, "time of" everything, I think.

Thanks Amie . . . I agree. I've been noticing that I'm not the only one teetering on the cliff these days.
