The grass could be browner!

As I look at the list I started yesterday and realize that the day seemed not quite what I planned it to be ... I have to wonder what the hell happened? I walked around aimlessly for hours not able to get done what I wanted to do. I pictured myself running around the house and town like a girl with my hair on fire catching up on all the stuff I have put off since the kids got out of school. Well, it did not happen and I was very perplexed as to why. Then it hit me ... I am Meredith Grey! I am broken! Without giving you too much disgusting detail, I will tell you that I spent the better part of last year working very hard on a relationship that should have come much easier! As I started this year I was devastated to discover that relationship is not where I thought it was. I thought I had mad so much head way and the truth is ... not so much! It sucks! It has got me very sad and weepy and I must shake it off!!! But the good news is that when you realize things and speak them out loud they can no longer hold on to you. (Learned that in therapy - told you broken!) So now I have said it and I must work really hard to walk away from the hold this is having on me! Oh, and I also need to focus on the parent I want to be to my kids ... this too will help me! Isn't it amazing how little tiny people can do so much to heal us if we let them?

Ok, so you ask ... why the photo of Britney? Well, my 2008 could be so much browner ... I could be her! And right now being that train wreck is bad, bad! So ... to look to the bright side ... I am much greener than that grass!
