I will update with answers for you soon.
Yesterday morning in the quiet that is mine as all the boys sleep I was watching a health programme. A New Face for Marlie (I think that is what it’s called). Very heart wrenching as all those miracle health shows generally are. I just started crying. Crying for all that is wrong and all that is tangled and all the helplessness I feel. Sometimes its so hard to discern which way is up ya know? I cried for about an hour and then David came down from his bedroom his usual warm and loving chipper morning self and gave me a huge hug and said "Good Morning Mommy".
"Good Morning Sunshine"
David is the sunshine. I once called Jeff Sunshine when he was little and he said to me.. "I’m not the Sun Mom! I’m the Moon!" So to Jeff I always say. "Good Morning Moonshine!"
Kids are so great.
I’m so tired of this mid life crisis. How long is this stuff supposed to last anyway? Going on 5 years I think. Oh sure, there are good days. Even productive days. But most of the time I feel so lost and so misdirected. This isn’t work I’m talking about. Careerwise I’m having the best years of my life. But it seems the better work goes the worse I feel personally. The more lost I feel.
*sigh*
Travelling to Boston tomorrow for a 4 hour meeting. So I lied about travelling again this year 😉 This is with the president of the company so I couldn’t very well say eff off. Ya’ll keep the snow away ya hear?
Love you guys
Well, at least you’re not out getting wild tattoos and piercings like SOME midlifers I know! 😉

A trip to Boston sounds like fun to me. I hear ya on the midlife crisis. I think it’s part and parcel of the 40’s. It’s when we begin to look at our lives, past, present, and future. We have more wisdom from life experiences and feel an urgency to make it all make sense, and be worthwhile. (But, what the Hell do I know?) My face was streaming with tears through the Marlie program too. Serendipity that we both wrote of it the same day.

Oh Boston!You’re so close!Can you just take a shuttle to DC stay for a few hours and then go home? Well,I’m not sure exactly what you’re going through but I think I can relate especially with my latest,newest,lack of employment.I’m all of sudden,at age 50,being thrown into making decisions about art,photography or more makeup.Pooh to the later but I can make money,only I’m not challenged by it.
