Just A Note.

In life it seems likely that at least one of the thirty-two-thousand, eight-hundred, some odd mornings in which you awake is bound to be completely and utterly wrong. The reasons are hardly known and the cures are even less. But what can one do but live? Wake up. Get ready for what seems to be the same day re-played. Eat breakfast. Go to work and close your mouth of every complaint. Keep them inside until you are met with one of those rare once-in-a-life-time afternoons when you have nothing to do where you can go out where the world is quiet and have a good long cry. It doesn't cure anything. But it helps.

Today has been one such day for me. Everything has gone wrong. I would take the opportunity for one of those rare afternoons, but alas, it has not come my way. With two jobs it is rare indeed. I don't know what to do to fix it. Or that it can even be fixed. Just as long as I know that there will be a tomorrow, even if it's the same crummy tomorrow as it was today, and even if these crummy tomorrows end up being a whole week of crummy yesterdays, at least I will know that somewhere down the road, it will end. That they won't last forever. That not every day, not every weekend, and not every time I get out of bed will turn out bad. Just as long as I know that, just as long as it's somewhere in the back of mind, I can last. It won't be easy. But I can last.

:( That is not a fun place to be, but I totally understand. I definitely have weeks like that a LOT more often than I ever have before. When you load your schedule as full as we have (whether with multiple jobs or difficult classes) and don't have enough time to get proper rest and enjoyment time, things just never seem right, and all you ever want to do is cry. I've come home from rehearsal a couple times when I was so close to tears because I knew I had to leave again in 5 minutes and wouldn't be home for another couple hours...it's no fun, so I hope this passes quickly for you! Love ya!!! :D

(And way to still be positive and know that you won't have to deal with it forever, even if it's going to be a long time. You're a trooper!)

Marisa, not a day has gone by that I haven't looked forward to that trip in December. I can't wait to go! When do I need to be at your parent's house? Was it the sixteenth??

The wedding is the 18th. uh pretty sure. so if you're there on the 16 that will give us plenty of time to pick you up. lol. We're going to drive up the day of the wedding. So we should be at my parents house at latest by the 17th. I CANT WAIT!

I wish I could go with you guys! But that's my last day of school (last day of High School EVER!!!) which means finals, and also, Paula is flying home the next morning in Kansas City so I have to be there for that. But wait, will you guys still be gone? Or will you only be gone on the 18?
