Woke up okay today, and then quikly found myself in a sour mood after a headache started. I knew a mourning like this was going to come eventually. Michael has been away for weeks and last night I fell asleep with thoughts of how distant he feels already. I talked to him for a few minutes, but he had to let me go so quikly to go do his job...
I feel disconnected. I feel like I want to push him away a little so it won't hurt to miss him. When I think of that, I just remember the last time he was in Afghanistan. I am really going to have to resist the urge to do that this time.
I could possibly be a grump today because I'm thinking of my birthday coming up and 25 is a few more years than I'm ready to be. I would be okay with it, if I had some college or a career under my belt, but at this point, I'm feeling like a 25 year old who has gone nowhere with her life.
I really hope I don't come home to another surprise party. Nothing would piss me off more than that. I don't even want anything for my birthday. Well, there is one thing, but I know it's useless to pine over it anymore...
Before I bitch anymore, I think I should go back to bed for a while and sleep my headache and blues away...
My thoughts are like dominoes...

:( Sorry you're down.
ReplyDeleteI know how you feel to be almost 25 and have gone nowhere... But look closer!
You have a wonderful, very smart daughter...
You've done a lot in your life.
You've seen a lot of the world and hopefully more to come.
What is it that you want for your birthday?
