Say Good Morning.
 

My son graduated last night. Now I'm all awake, nothing to distract me from my impending death, and I feel old. And lame, weak, blaah, unmotivated...all those things I feel when I see how others have spent their lives and I've wasted mine and someone reads Oh! the Places You'll Go!:yelsick:

This is a good morning? Look forward, not backward!

maybe it's the cat hair on every conceivable surface that's got me down.

I just feel old...and I miss my baby son.

Bri, I'm down this am too. :( gonna take my son to Lowes buy some tools and shit and build something or do something. Gotta shake this off now.

oh yeh, mornin.

Well, he got through High School without killing himself, or anyone else, plus got a college scholarship. That means you've done a pretty good job, so far.
I'd like to pat you on the back... and front... and bottom.:blush:

...and I'll follow up by licking the parts he's missed. It might not cheer you up, but it sure as hell will make *me* feel good.

Morning!!! I already burned myself with my coffee. It's a good morning anyway! I slept all the way to 10 a.m.! I'm normally not able to do that. I like that.
:D

If only...if only I could have bruce and els...I would finally be a fulfilled woman. sigh. I wrote something for my ex husband. I might really send it to him. It is a ROUGH DRAFT (here that, SD?) lemme know what you think.

it's in creative bullshit you wrote when you were drunk thread.

I dozed all morning and only got up at 11.45. Then I had to scramble to get sprted for the pub at 13.00.

I hear what you're saying Bri, but I reiterate what Bruce said, without the sexual overtones. If you want to play Why I Am A Loser I will win as as least you have fulfilled your biological function.

Tomorrow it all starts again. We'll both have a great day and look back on it as the start of something marvellous and new. Honestly!

Hmm...I am unable to find that thread...? @Bri..

I just got it there *now*


have a laugh.

Oh, it's really just the Creative Expressions thread. I added the rest. to be mean.

Oh did you write the homeowner thing whilst tipsy? I am still looking for the letter to your ex-husband.

yeah, that's it. It's just a thing I wrote right now. feeling sad, not really a letter to my ex. I'm not tipsy. I'm sad.

Don't feel sad Bri , you helped raise a good dude , its just life progressing as it should
Or would you prefer him to be a 40 yr old livening on Moms couch ???

That really puts things in perspective, zippyt. I feel much better now!


(thanks,all,anyway, for listening to me Bitch and Moan again and I'm not near as funny as Lj when HE B&M's.

"fulfilled your biological function"? There's more to life than spawning.

Amen. where did Mother Theresa ever spawn?? (and if you know, don't tell me)

Not in a biological sense. Born, eat, spawn, die.

ya know what? it's not even 4pm and it's fucking 81 degrees.


i hate ohio. I'm moving. soon as son #2 off to good college. me move.

Yay! Move here!

Bri, your kid just graduated, he hasn't left the planet. You have something many other people don't have. You are a mother, and that is a gift all by itself, but with that, you also have the product of motherhood, a bright young man to be thankful for.

Is funny, I feel all weird because my kid isn't graduating.....

We had the "Last game of Rec and Ed Soccer" party this afternoon -the girls are 5th grade so next year they move to middle school where they do intra-mural sports (i.e. organized by the school rather than outside bodies). Except Hebe doesn't move. Our school is K-8. She doesn't even change teacher as they are in multigrade classes. Love the school, but tonight it felt weird as all the girls were acting like they were passing through this huge party -they all had graduations and are changing schools....

But enough about me and back to you... I fail to see how you have wasted anything. Oh the places you'll go..... have you not been to hell and back recently and come out on top and still going to school? Have you not been a nurse and a mother and posted topless pictures on the internet? Have you not written poetry that has started long discussions? You've been many places ..and not in a bad way. And i'm pretty sure you're only just getting started.....

bitch and moan? moi?

Oh, and good morning to everyone!
Good moaning...? Good mourning...?

10.10, start of another work week for me.

I've seen the sun come up 5 days in a row. That's how late I stay up.
Damnit.

morning all - I'm at work again, been here for 2 hours - this insomnia thing is buggin me

mornin'. Oh the places I'll go....like the laundry room.....

Good morning.

Actually, it's not.

yeah? feel suicidal?

then count it as a win.

No, not yet. Just wondering if it's time for me to implement my double-secret fantasy of disappearing off the face of the earth.

That's been every day of my life for me then - yay!
Even at my worst, all I felt is profoundly disappointed that I made it through the night, and panic at another day to get through.

Of course at my worst, the plan was always to scrape enough money to get to the off licence in order to drink myself back to sleep in as short a time as possible.

My suicidal thoughts always, ALWAYS came at night.

One of my favourite childhood series was What Katy Did... And in one of them (What Katy Did at School I think) the phrase "morning brings counsel" was used. It's a quaint expression, but I've used it to get through many a bad night, nights I doubt Susan Coolidge ever envisiged.

One of her poems, which I used to have on my desk when the dark days were still light enough that I was working, yet murky enough that I needed it:

New Every Morning

Every morning is a fresh beginning,
Listen my soul to the glad refrain.
And, spite of old sorrows
And older sinning,
Troubles forecasted
And possible pain,
Take heart with the day and begin again.

Morning

I will leave judgment as to whether its good or bad until later.

I'm glad I'm too old to bother with suicidal thoughts.

Good morning! Well......technically speaking it's good afternoon, but I have only been up for an hour:) I am having a complete day off today. No work, no study, no meetings to attend, not taking calls and not dealing with emails :) yey.



I'm like Sundae, my bleakest thoughts tend to be at night time. Or maybe when I first wake up but that tends to send me back to sleep....when I actually get up I am usually in a reasonable mood:)
