a little behind here…

this post leaves me weeping because i feel EXACTLY THE SAME WAY and it gets all muddled and confusing and intertwined and though i want perspective and to take a step back and do one thing at a time it’s just damn near impossible and then i just crumble realizing that i cannot get it all done the way i want it to be done, the way i need it to be done.

so thank you… that was a good cry. i needed it.

Unbelievable how wonderful it is to have met up with so many women who form a supportive, loving community and yet all we want to do is spend time with them – and that involves reading and commenting and writing, and, of course, we have no time for that.

I got home an hour and a half ago with my family, plopped down at the computer, and haven’t moved an inch. Another night spent among friends, but, yes, isolated from my family and the grand opus? Still in my computer…

Have a great trip!

This post was Amazing. The whole thing. So much of it I thought was “just me ” but apparently not. So listen her, enjoy every single moment of your get away. Even the exhaustion after your run! Can’t wait to hear about it all… Especially the Texas Two Step I’m sure you’ll do while you’re there!

Damn, I just wrote this great comment and it went into space somewhere…
Anyways, damn girl if this is “all you’ve got” today. Damn, girl. What the hell do you mean “this is all?”?!?
Blogging…YES…a blessing and a curse. I thought it was only me.
And this: “but inside our heads and our houses we are all so very different
even when our words ring true to each other
our days unfold in a slurry of little successes and failures
that are really quite unknown to one another”
This was my favorite. I wish I had more time before I had to pick the class up from PE…sigh…the responsibilities of work….harumph. Have an amazing time and think of me while you’re runnin’! I’ll be cheering for you from MIA!

Yes yes, Nicki. Dan and I are off to Austin where we will meet my brother and his wife – and I will struggle through a half-marathon on Sunday. Haven’t trained, will run slower than I ever have, but 4 days free from the ordinary is really the whole point and purpose. I am in the airport now. Woot!

You know, I think there’s something quite important about recounting these feelings, these kinds of days, and memorializing them as you have so beautifully here. Our blogs and the conversations they create don’t have to be about the moments of clarity or the moments of beauty; there is real meaning in the moments of life that dominate our maternal landscapes.

(oops, I forgot the word “and” after “brilliant” in my comment. Ironic, really.)

This is brilliant could be the anthem of so many women. You are not alone! I am so glad you put all of this into words.

I love this post. It explores feelings I often have. I struggle to with feelings of inadequacy and yet deeper down know I am doing the best I can. The vacillation of my confidence is exhausting.

Enjoy your trip, Sarah! I presume it involves some running, maybe.

I had two days like this this week – two days in a row. I so understand where you are and hope you enjoy your time away.
