Well, for the last week or so I have been stuck! Not stuck in a hole, not stuck to a board. No, not stuck like the dinosaurs in a tar pit. I have been mentally stuck in a rut. To be more precise, a bad attitude rut. One that keeps me from getting dressed, showering, or even brushing my teeth. Gross!!!! Well if I could have stayed in bed I would have, but having three small kids tell me that they're hungry gets me up and at least keeps me from making a permanant dent in my mattress or couch cushion.
Why do people get stuck like this? I normally pull myself right out of these episodes with no real repurcussions. But this time around I didn't manage so well. Yes, I cried and I ate more than I was supposed to. I think that with everything that is going on in the world today, I am not alone. A lot of friends of mine seem to be stuck in their own type of rut. What is the deal? Is it the economy.....probably. Is it just the overall feeling in the air......likely. I actually have no idea. I am just throwing this out into the cosmic void.
Things will get better. I will keep telling the voices in my head, "My husband has a job, the kids are safe and healthy, and I am blessed." Maybe one of these times, the voices will listen and I can stop worrying. Life goes on and on and on and on. We always look back and say, "That wasn't so bad." But at the time it always seems so hard. "Don't cry for me Argentina" I will get over this quickly, I have too much to do, and I can't spend my time wallowing in grief and self absorbstion. So for now this is my ranting.
My dream, well, I would so love to be young again, with no problems. Well, no real problems. I would like to be like my kids, so that when I say I am stuck, it quite literally means that I am stuck!!!
Now that this is all out of my system......
I AM OFFICIALLY UNSTUCK

I so understand stuck. lol Being stuck sucks and yes, I'd rather be stuck in my t-shirt and tennies rather than stuck in my pajamas, stuck to the couch and stuck to that chocolate-covered goodie I lost somewhere down one the crack which of course, would look like I was so stuck that I couldn't make it to the potty in time. Not that anyting like that has ever - never - happened. Purely an example... So yeah, I understand stuck.
Glad you're unstuck,

It's all good Stacey! Things will get better, I'm sure of that. Just keep chugging along and everything will work out for the better. We're all in this together! :)
I use to be stuck all the time. Then I got medication which I am now trying to ween myself off of, I blame it for my weight gain. Anyway, it's all good ... life is good ... but sucks sometimes. You are not alone!!
