My arms ache..........

• "Help me with my homework!"



• "I'm hungry! When are we going to eat!"



• "Get us some soda!"

Have you ever felt like you were being pulled in 100 different directions?

Everyone is demanding of your time and energy?

You don't have time to eat or drink water (I didn't drink any water today===usually I drink 6-8 bottles of water a day!!!)

And then all the pressures of everyone else---all of their stuff gets dumped on you that you just can't carry that weight anymore---so what do you do? I sleep.

I literally walked into the house, shed my clothes and went to bed. It wasn't even 9pm.

I woke up at 10:45 pm after my power nap----my body aching for food and water.

You can only be squeezed so hard, before your eyes pop out----and apparently your ears as well.

And my teens............they are aware of the pressure....somehow they see it......i don't want them to see it---this was a conversation today:

HIM: Mindy, do you have a husband?

ME: I don't discuss my personal life with my kids.

HIM: Mindy, you need someone that will make you happy, so you can have kids of your own. You are a good mom to us, we like being one of "your kids" because you make sure we always eat good.

ME: Thank you........I'm very busy with you guys so do you have homework to work on?

HIM: You want me to set you up with my grandpa? He's a cool cat.

Did you get that, ladies and gentlemen.............this 17 year old wants to set me up WITH HIS GRANDFATHER WHO IS A COOL CAT!?!?!?! Holy Hell in a Handbasket! A Grandpa!?!?!

Yea, I gotta get out more.......

After my stretchy arms go back to normal.............
