Geez. And here I thought I was the only one that felt this way! Plus, we've moved around so much (hubby's work) and I have to "tell my story" over and over again. I know that glazed look only too well! Thank God for you all and the handful of real friends/ family that I cherish.
And, what I have found, is that it's the "real" people that have depth and character that want to hear more or ask me questions and like someone said here, they are the ones I want to spend my time/ energy on anyways. Why live life in the sand of the shallow waters when there is a whole, beautiful world out there in the depths? (Any other scuba divers here?) But, it is hard and we just want to "fit in" with our peers. Wouldn't it be nice to just be "normal" and have chores and homework be our biggest parenting challenge?
But, sometimes I wonder, as I sit at a school basketball game filled with cheering people (like me) how many of them feel just like me inside but look so "good" on the outside? I'll bet there are people there just like us. And I could find them if I take the time to ask them how they are <i>really</i> doing.
Thanks so much for sharing this. You have an amazing mom who needs to adopt us all!
Hang in there and I hope things go well at the hospital. I like the idea of a tantrum in the bathroom with the water running. We all need a good tantrum every now and then.
Big Hugs!
