All with no indoor plubming and angry bears.

She might appear that way on the outside, but one wrong touch would shatter her into a thousand pieces. There's only so much you can give, give, give to others before you start to fall apart. My husband constantly reminds me, "Don't be a martyr." It's okay for a mom to be a little selfish with her time so that she doesn't go crazy. <br /><br />Get some rest . . .Lis Garretthttp://www.rootandsprout.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27598861.post-2780717971960525562009-06-03T20:28:06.752-05:002009-06-03T20:28:06.752-05:00Me too.Me too.Mariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13920306748028031924noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27598861.post-67634168608620666212009-06-03T20:24:15.570-05:002009-06-03T20:24:15.570-05:00I loved that show when I was a kid.

I know the kind of women you describe are out there, but I think they're probably not very real. I would rather be a person who can express things--good and bad, than someone who stuffs it all down just so an image can be projected.<br /><br />I'd love to have a smidge of those women too though, maybe it helps to know there are others out here who feel that too.Mom24https://www.blogger.com/profile/00061152728345287775noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27598861.post-61216802557028590662009-06-03T08:59:18.185-05:002009-06-03T08:59:18.185-05:00You're not going to believe this but my right ...You're not going to believe this but my right arm was numb about 12am too. It's normal for me though due to my neuropathy. Sometimes it's my arm, or leg, or face, or boob. So I understand how that feels. I always worry that the feeling WON'T come back. I've been reading your blog for a while and it's almost like our thinking runs parallel.

It just isn't in me. I think a lot of women in the 1880s were that way out of necessity. On the inside, they were probably screaming for some alone time with their frontiermen husbands, or at least a solo trip to Starbucks. ;)<br /><br />I hope you get some much-deserved rest soon.Kristihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03792735154830422231noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27598861.post-82116671293160916722009-06-03T07:34:39.824-05:002009-06-03T07:34:39.824-05:00I hope you get some sleep soon.
