Sometimes . . .

You just need a good cry. This morning I had a moment. Four a.m. Listening to Indigo Girls while I ran newspapers. The whole world just seemed so terribly overwhelming for a moment, while at the same time the stars reminded me that it is really meant to be simple.

When did we make such a mucky mess of things? Complicate everything? How did everybody end up so angry and stressed out?

I had a remarkably lovely mother's day weekend with my mom in town. I know that real life can't always be like a vacation . . . but should real life constantly leave you feeling like you need a vacation?

No time to even ponder what desperately needs pondering.

I hear you, sister.

Are you okay? I'm game for another late-night phone call if you need it. I certainly enjoyed our last one. Are you coming to UT at all this summer?

I'd don't have a wise answer but I wanted to tell you I'm right there in the trenches with you. Today I felt like crying too. I empathize fully with wanting a vacation...without kids! And summer starts in just over a week for us. I never understood when I was a child why parents would want their kids to go back to school. Right now, I just don't feel like I have energy enough, emotional or physical, to wrangle my children during summertime.

I started planning on Wednesday how I will leave Church on Sunday after the first meeting to go home and take a nap. I think I am tired, too. You have my sympathies!

So sorry you are feeling overwhelmed - it is a constant feeling around here as well. Thinking about you....

And perhaps Indigo Girls weren't the best choice. Just sayin'.

You also word things so well. You're right - sometimes you need a really good cry. I think I'll go listen to some Indigo Girls now.
