Marriage is tough! Divorce is Tougher!!

Can I just say that in the middle of such an exhausting and trying time, you should have a day pass. My daughter periodically brings home this little piece of paper. It has only 2 little words on it, but she treasures them as if they were pieces of pure gold. The piece of paper says, "Homework Pass." On any given day, when she so desires, she attaches that little piece of paper to her homework and she doesn't have to do it-none of it! It's a brilliant concept. I want a little piece of paper that says, "Day Pass." On any given day, when I so desired, I could attach it to a day and just not do it-none of it! I don't know why exactly, but I think I'd use it today. There isn't anything that is happening that is out of the ordinary today-well all of my days right now are out of the ordinary. But I just don't want to do it today. I am so tired of having to work so hard everyday just to get through. I'm tired of dealing with what I deal with on a daily basis. I'm tired of the paperwork and the dividing up of stuff. Who cares about stuff when your life in unravelling?! Who cares about stuff when your kids are dealing with more adult stuff than most adults with whom I'm familiar?! I sound pretty pathetic, but I guess I'm kind of feeling a bit beaten at this time. I need a day to get away from everything, to escape my life as it has become, and to just get my head back on straight. I'd willingly even switch lives with someone for a day. I'll take on your laundry and kids, even your husband if you have one of those things (however, I will NOT sleep next to him and listen to his snoring since that is one of those glorious things I've come to not miss in the least!). I just need a break from this daily divorce stuff! Anyway, that's kind of where I am right now. I am tired.

  1. I am sooooooooooo sad I didn't remember to call and remind you of the DVD today of BEth Moore. At least it may have taken your mind off so many of the "things to do" list!

    Remember to lay it all down on Him. "No eye has seen and no ear has heard what great things God has for those who love Him." 1Cor 2:9 --Christi
