A Quickie!

Just some quick thoughts this morning before I get going for the day.

1. I can't decide whether I hate the story for needing so much from me, or the rest of my life for needing the same amount from me. There is only one me and way too much neediness going around. Worse, the story is the only fun thing that needs me. Dirty pots and pans are never fun, and I never feel better when they're clean. They're just out of the way then, and something else filthy slips in the take their place. And doing them means the story is still not done, still in my head haunting me and following me around yelling in my ear, like a harpy with a copy of Publisher's Weekly.

2. I definitely hate that my opinions don't jibe with other people's and it throws me off beam when it shouldn't. So I disgree with someone? It's hardly going to change life in the cosmos, for crying out loud. I think it would be a good skill for me to learn to be loathed a few times, instead of thinking I have to cow to what other people want out of me. Hmmm...apparently I'll go back to my first point now?

3. My roof is definitely leaking. If it turns out to be something easily caught, I've got a whole list of people to scream at.

4. I want to go back to bed.

All right, on that whiny little note, it's off to make breakfast. In the midst of all this, I am supposed to eat too. Am I the only stay-at-home mom trying to launch a career who finds eating just gets in the way of everything else?
