Early Start



This picture is one of the benefits of being at work by 7am. There were the most beautiful clouds by the sunrise. They were low and moving pretty quickly. At first I thought it was smoke, but then realized it was clouds.

I had a rough night last night. I had the hardest time falling asleep. I had a lot on my mind. I finally pulled Ben up next to me and started petting him. That always helps me fall asleep. Then at 12:45am the neighbors dog woke me up. Have I mentioned how much I hate my neighbors dog? It's just a small dog, but they let it run all around. Last night at 10pm I went out on my front steps and there was dog poop and pee right next to my front door. I was tempted to scoop it up and put it on their car. Ugh. Once I was up I realized that I had the most horrible cramps. Seriously they were really bad. My back and leg was hurting also which only happens when my cramps are really bad. I took some Advil and within 20 minutes was feeling better. When the alarm went off it was a little hard to get up.

I have a couple things on my mind that I wish I could talk about here on this blog. It's times like this that I still with I was just this anonymous blogger that I could write what I am thinking and not be judged by anyone that knows me in real life. I am not saying that the people that know we in real life judge me, but sometimes it's easier sharing things that are going on with people that have no idea who I am. Maybe I will create a second blog with a different identity to talk about this stuff. Anyone else have this problem? The stuff that is on my mind is not a bad thing, but writing about it on here could complicate my life a lot.

If you're interested, give me a nudge later to remember to give you the name of a miracle cream that helps with cramps. I got it b/c the cramps I got when I started taking BC pills to regulate my cycle were absolutely horrendous. This stuff is all natural and helps a LOT. (I used it WITH ibuprofen, so its not a miracle drug on its own, but it really did help so much.)

Of course, I'm waaay to frazzle-minded to remember the name of it when it isn't sitting right next to me, and I will totally forget the post by the time I get home. But if you want to give it a try, just remind me to tell you what it is. :)

I totally understand what you're saying. I've had some of the same blogging issues myself.

I know what you mean, since the hubs lurks on my blogs (and he thinks I don't know - HELLO site meter!) I have to censor myself somewhat too.... *sigh* You can always email me!

I totally understand this problem. I still am not sleeping right either, which only seems to make bad things magnified, doesn't it?! Hope you sleep better tonight.

it's difficult to post some things on my blog because I know my family reads it...er go I have one blog that no one in my family can read (since they don't have the addy) where I can vent.sometimes that is VERY neccesary1

Casey said...

Oh I SO get that. I want to be able to say things and talk about things that I dont' feel like I can because of the people who read. Sometimes I just want to vent, vent, vent!

I completely know what you are saying. I tend to censor myself because I have family that reads. I have often thought of just creating a completely new blog and just becoming anonymous again....but then I would make friends and be in the same boat all over again....oh well I guess there are worse things hehe

as for the dog crap - say the mantra with me - you are moving soon, you are moving soon....feel better?

Anonymous said...

I haven't told anyone I know IRL about my blog. I've met people through my blog but no one I live with or spend time with on a regular basis has a clue. I need to write and I need to send it out into the universe so to speak. I could not do that if any of my family had access to it. It's my own little *secret* corner of the world.

I totally get what you're saying. It's hard isn't it? Too bad about the neighbors dog. If it'd been me, I wouldn't have put it on their car but I sure would have scooped it and tossed it into their yard! hee

court--i would love to know what the name of the cream is. some months my cramps are not that bad and then other months i am in so much pain.

katie--thanks for the chat tonight. you helped me sort through some stuff

patti--thanks for the offer on emailing. you are such a great friend

sandra--yes, lack of sleep makes things much more confusing. i am also hoping to sleep better tonight

jaded mama--i am thinking of creating a whole new blog just for this problem. i always seem to work things out when i write about it

casey--you said exactly how i am feeling. some days i just want to vent until i am blue in the face. :)

cheeky--you are so right about meeting new blogger friends. thanks for that point..i had not thought of that

traci--i have such a big mouth that it was hard for me not to tell the people that know me irl. oh well...

Chelle said...

I completely understand. My parents read my blog as do a couple of other family members and I censure what I write, mostly so they don't worry. I've actually set up a second blog, although I still don't have the confidence to post on it.

Lynilu said...

You know, I've had the same thought about a private blog, too. Once in a while I just want to write something that I want to get out of my head. I have a handwritten journal and a computer journal, and you'd think that would do it, but for some reason it doesn't work on some things. I suppose it is because it would be good to get feedback, totally anonymous feedback. Does that ring true with you, too? sighh. So a blog in which you never reveal to *anyone* who you are ... interesting. hmmm. (and I say "hmmm" with tongue in cheek!! LOL!! You'll get the humor of this, but no one else will!!)
