Good luck with the paint job! The only time I have painted a room was years ago, when I was a kid. I would like to do some painting in my house too, but I have to find some time first… maybe after the wedding.

These are the days when just breathing seems impossible. And with each breath comes another layer of SOMETHING. Something sad. Something annoying. Something said. Something not said. Something unavoidable. Something uncontrollable. And these layers gang up on us and wrap around us. Sometimes the only things to do are to STAY AWAKE AND STAY AWARE… for the GOOD layers to follow. I love your blog. I love you.

Hey, me too! Well, not all of it. But I can relate to the feelings. Being real on your blog is what keeps me coming back.

There is so much pain and so much turmoil right now in so many lives. I wish I could come and make you dinner, or let you borrow my van with a/c and windows that go down I can’t wait for BlogHer to give you a huge hug and tell you to your face what an amazing woman you are.
Thanks for being honest. Cause honestly, I know sometimes life just sucks.

My sweet, dear Beth: as hard and as overwhelming as it is, hang in there. You just have to believe that things will get better. I think that it is incredible to be able to put yourself out there and share exactly how you are feeling. I really do. And in some ways, I envy you for that because I like to live in two worlds: the outside world and inside world.

My outside world is what I project to others: that things are all hunky dory and I can deal with whatever gets thrown my way. The inside world however is a chaotic one filled with screams, tears and frustration. A world that I find so difficult to express and when I attempt to do so, it falls upon deafened ears or is subjected to insensitive scrutiny.

Continue to take comfort from all around you: your gorgeous husband, your beautiful, precious children and your loving blogging followers. We are all here for you Beth to catch you if you fall.

(((HUGS)))
At least you’re brave enough to share your struggles. We aren’t all that brave. I’m praying that things turn around for you soon!
