March’s motto

9 March 2011

I was writing to a friend to catch up on our lives. We’re disconnected by thousands of miles and yet linked by enough similarities to feel warmth in our infrequent connections. And I told her of celebrations and big changes and concerns and frustrations and…

And I came up with a surprisingly pithy description of March 2011:

“Happy, happy…happy…joy, joy….oh fuck.”

Do you have a month like that? Or a year like that?

    Maybe not…Happy, happy…joy, joy…oh fuck.

    But close.

    More like: Happy, wrath, joy, joy, kids are soooo cute, now want to drown them. Or me.

    So far its been ,” Stop hitting your brother. it’s not kind….” Repeat.
    Coupled with the thoughts inside my head…”please don’t have another fucking meltdown at bedtime!”

    Sometimes, it’s like comparing battle scars…There are many moments when I wonder, “How EXACTLY did I get here?”

    Hang in there…it HAS to get better!

    Last year it was” ok, happy, joy, oh fuck, fuck, fuck.”
    I’m hoping it gets better from here.
