Reflections on life from 40-something

Feeling Better because I Quit

November28

You know, it’s just wrong to be mad all the time. It’s just not right to feel like you are living in a pressure cooker morning noon and night. Sometimes, you need to step back and look at the relative worth of your mental stability and decide that while you might indeed be ABLE to do it all, perhaps it would be best for you and everyone else you touch with your life if you didn’t. So, I am admitting I am not a superhero, and I’ll settle for being an everyday hero. I’ll walk away from some paid work, so I can do a better job at my free labor. And there will be laughter in my house once more.

Also, tomorrow I will write my to-do list.

    Oh yes, Mr. Fab. We used to laugh a lot around here, and then I decided to work myself to death. Remember how I laughed in Vegas? I used to be that same way at home. My family deserves that Cass, don’t you think?

    Well, minus the intoxicated bit, I mean.

    I know how you feel. Before March 07, before starting paid posts, I used to sit quietly in the sofa after dinner, watch some series or movies, I used to go to bed with the kids, fell asleep with them, now, I’m always wanting that they fall asleep so that I can blog.

I'm Cass. I am a full-time mom to eight great children, a Christian and a blogger. I'm also a knitter, a reader and a movie watcher. And a collector of eclectic oddities.

For the first time in 18 and a half years, I have my own little corner again. Somewhere along the way, I seem to have lost myself, and now that I realize I'm missing, I'm on the look out for me. You maybe don't know what that means, but then again, maybe you do. Regardless, this is where I'll be when I'm not being a mother or a knitter. This is where I'll be just me. And if no one ever reads it, that's ok. I'll know it's here.
