Well, that was interesting.

Big storm, in which I had PMS but bad, votania had sleep-dep, and everybody was roundly terrified and angry, simultaneously.

Yelling, crying, and after that, drawing up of an equitable chore schedule.

you have no comment for the one before this one...but I wanted to say I admire your progress, and cheer you on, because that's one of those mountains I battle from time to time too. Some people don't get that it's not just the "THING" that is at hand, it's not just that the laundry is not done. It's all the shit they can't see that you are battling with inside and they have no idea how exhausting it.

I wrote sort of a kids style story once about what the laundry process was like for me and why it was so hard to do, likening the emotional aspects to various forms of horribley descriptive monsters that block you and harrass you.

I let the husband read it. Wow. Had no idea it took that much from me, he never thought about even the physical disparities between us (such as I can't reach the bottom of the washer at the time) much less what this is like emotionally. so he started to try to do more laundry. Also tells me, don't ever publish that book, you'll terrify every child out of his wits and they'll all be running about smelly and screaming.

keep taking them on one at a time Azure...some mornings I just look out the window and think "You bastards will not win today".
I'm a stubborn woman.

Thanks for the support. I disabled comments because I've recently had an influx of new friends, and didn't know at the time last night if there were any of them that I thought would make the *wrong* kind of comment. I have them enabled now, after going through the friends list...

I go through that one myself, though I've finally decided you know, that's what the delete and ban features are for :P

True, though those are things for sane, sober moments, not in-the-middle-of-a-panic-attack moments.

heh....at one point in my life it was just a non stop panic attack moment, luckily, one of the others seems to stay pretty rational even with a heart rate of 120!

Oh, my.

Happily for me, we've never had to deal with anything quite that alarming.
