not today.

Posted on 22 January 2018 by what sandra thinks

Today is a bad day.

There are too many things bothering me. I can’t smile. I can’t eat. I can’t do much of anything. I know most of the things bothering me are out of my control, but it doesn’t matter… they are still killing me. And there are a few things I should be able to at least try to make better. But nothing I do is working. I don’t know where to go next. Except maybe somewhere I can curl up onto a ball and cry.

I wasn’t around much this weekend… I had things to do… places to go. And things were okay… until last night. And when anything that bothers me… anything at all… involves my kids, it’s a million times worse because I hate when they are upset and I can’t fix it. I do not think I was truly made to be a mom. I think I’m just too fucked up.

I’m sorry to anyone whose posts or comments I missed this weekend. I was going to go back and catch up but I don’t think I’m going to be able to. There are too many. I will still try, but I just don’t know. I’m sorry.

Today is a bad day.

And I don’t even know if I’m going to leave this post up.

    I hope you feel better. Just my opinion, but I would say you don’t need to worry about other people’s posts, if it’s too overwhelming. best wishes to you and your kids–

    I’m sorry, man. Days like this suck. I wish I could help, but you know where to find me if you need an ear. And don’t worry about missing posts. They’ll live, I promise. Just get to feeling better. 😊

    Blogging should always about fun and/or finding a way to vent things off… And as long as you don’t get paid to do it, you don’t owe anyone anything, dear Sandra 🙂 Of course we’ll be waiting for your kind words in the meanwhile, but take as much time as you need to take care of yourself! *warm hugs*

          Haha! I was just telling Tony that I don’t really get into it like other people do… partly because I’ve never been super into sports but also because if I get sucked in, it stresses me out! But yesterday, we were at my mom’s (for my son’s birthday) and mom is into it as are my sisters and brother-in-law so they were not happy with how things were going… but in the end… comeback win… again! I wasn’t even there to see it. LOL Husband, kids and I were in the car on the way home. I figured it’d be over at one point and thought I’d check the score… it wasn’t over and they were ahead… I was surprised. And when they won, I had to text my mom… she was all excited… LOL

          Wow… that was a long story.

          Also, because Gronk’s # is 87, Dunkin has coffee for 87 cents the day after the Patriots win… so that’s why I like when they win. For the coffee. 🙂

    I think one of the very worst feelings of all is when we can’t ‘fix’ things for our kids. Hoping tomorrow will be better x

    I am always fond of the quote, “No matter what happens, be gentle with yourself.”

    After all, why not vent? Why not reveal? Why not remind ourself and others that we are only human with all the limitations included with that reality.

    I don’t have daughters but my friends that do talk about the drama and hurt feelings, etc. I remember some parts of school and friendships were tough for me, too. I think all that happens earlier nowadays than when I grew up. Things will look up soon I’m sure!

      Thanks ♥
      I think that’s part of the problem… I remember all too well what it was like when I was a kid… getting toward the teenage years… and some of it was awful. I guess she has to go through it but it just hurts me… because I know it hurts her.
