Momfessions: What Now

As I write this, I'm sitting in bed with a heating pad on my left shoulder. I'm left-handed and right now it hurts to do anything with my arm. And I just wanna cry.
Cry because I feel damaged.

Cry because my body hurts and aches in places and ways I've never known before.

Cry because I can't seem to catch a break.

Cry because I am incredibly stressed.

Cry because I need an outlet.

Cry because I feel as if I have none.

Cry because I feel all alone.

Cry because my f'n dominant arm f'in hurts all the time.

I just wanna smile. I just wanna be happy. Able to see the good in life. I want to be a positive person. But every time I resolve to be a better person, something happens, and I snap. My tolerance for anything is non-existent. And I hate it. So I cry.

I know things come with the territory of being a parent and I know that in life ish happens. But it seems like the two always team up and screw me over and right now I really need to set the reset button. Life's downs and annoyances and trials and tribulations have beat the life outta me and I haven't had a chance to recharge, resulting in a person I don't particularly like or care for. I have less patience for things out of my control. I'm less tolerant of others and their flaws, especially those closest to me. And my ability to properly assess situations is ridiculously horrible - everything is a big friggin deal.

I need a change, a break. I need a solution. I know this ish ain't cool. But what I don't know is, what now?!?

There's Got to Be a Better Way

Update: Here's a link to the video of Obama's remarks in case you missed it.

I just heard about the shootings in CT and I feel kinda like this picture...empty. Reports of 27 people shot and killed, mostly kids. The school was K-4. My heart breaks for all the parents that don't get to tuck their little ones in tonight.

It makes me question how much I take Temi for granted. I love her kisses and hugs. And I admit I get a little frustrated when she tries to use them to stay up at night. But God if I couldn't ever feel them again.....

A picture of the kids being led out by police with looks of terror on their faces is just too much. My prayers go out to all affected.

This situation is beyond sad and makes me think of India.Arie's song "Better Way."
