Okay - someone want to tell me WHAT is wrong with me??

[C.Ann]

I was due to head home from the lake yesterday, but severe thunderstorms kept me here.. (Don't like driving in the rain because I can't see that well.. You know - the "old age" eyes failing thing.. Sigh..)

Well - this morning the sun is shining brightly and I just CAN'T get motivated to leave.. I feel like I'm in that "runaway" mode again.. (Ever tell you about the time I was driving on a certain road on my way up here and was SOOOOOO tempted to just keep driving until the road ENDED - no matter WHERE that might be?)

I keep thinking about all the "stuff" I have to deal with at home and I just DON'T want to go and deal with it.. I know - I'm being a big baby and I have "responsibilities", but sometimes I just get SOOOOOO tired of "doing it all"..

Would someone be willing to come on up here and BOOT me in the rear so I'll get going???????????

 

[EsmeraldaX]

I won't give you a boot but I will give you a hug

We all have days like this where we just want to stay away from the bad/heavy stuff. Nothing wrong with that. If you need a few more days, so you'll feel better when the time comes to deal with everything else, take them.

 

[cynsaun]

LOL! I get that way, too! I think it's just our bodies telling us we need to take a step back. At least that is MY story, and I am sticking to it!

I would love to come up and boot you out, but then I would stay! It would be a vicious cycle!

The sooner you get all that work one at home, the sooner you can get back on that road to never-never land!

If it were just "work" I would have no problem with that.. Could zip through it like crazy so I could get right back up here..

It's all the "emotional" stuff I have to deal with that I'm dreading.. It's a never-ending cycle.. Seems like I just get one emotional situation under control and I get buried under 10 more..

I'll do it, I'm sure - but I'm just not feeling too happy about it right now..

No, but I will come up and hang out. You won't be able to leave then because you can't be rude to company . That'll solve the guilt problem.

Seriously though, don't worry about not wanting to get going. We all have days like that. Why don't you allow yourself to enjoy another cup of coffee and soak in a few more hours. By lunch time you could have a whole new perspective and be ready to go back to reality. Take care.

I really don't know you well, but IF you have faith in God, lay your emotional burdens on His shoulders, pray that you can accept how things are today and how they will be tomorrow. I don't mean to sound over-the-top or pushing faith on anyone, just offerring something that works for me sometimes.

Maybe you're pregnant.

I know that runaway feeling all too well.

C. Ann - don't feel alone with this - I'm right there with you.

I completely understand how you are feeling right now. It is one of the most horrible feelings around - feeling that you need to escape your life.

If you can, take time off to be yourself. Even if it is just for a day or two - check into a hotel somewhere, wear your most comfy pj's, order the most delicious and yummy room service including the gooeist dessert and watch payperview movies. That is what I would do if I could get away

Unfortunately I wasn't able to escape - or I just didn't let myself - and you know what happened? I literally fell asleep and slept for 42 hours straight, only opeing my eyes long enough to have Matt shove my medicine down my throat.

My doctors reply to this was that my mind and body had been telling me all along that I needed to stop and I didn't listen. So it took matters into it's own hands.

Don't let it get that far, do something for yourself first

I'm sorry you're going through this. The additional inner turmoil about not wanting to go home makes the whole situation that much worse. Yoga has helped to center me because I often feel the way that you do. I completely understand why people run away from their lives...mother's leaving their kids and husbands. The only problem with that is you then have huge guilt on your shoulders. It's best to face the problem and get it over with. Once you do that it may not be so bad afterwards.
My thoughts were always to run away to WDW but that's the first place my husband would look.

You're in what I call 'my ostrich mode'!!! I'm sorta there at the moment myself. Life sure can get you down can't it? But, we just keep on going. Hang in there, this too shall pass. And Jason is right....talking to God never hurts.

Hang in there! I understand what you are saying, I am the queen of procrastinating, A.K.A not wanting to "deal" with anything. Well, it's come to the point I have to, and strangely I feel ready to tackle the junk (I would love to put in a filtered word there ) Because there is a lot more fun out there that I WANT and DESERVE! You deserve some happy stuff to come your way. Hang in there during this difficult and trying time. I think you have so much going on right now, that you are swimming in a whirlpool. But there is a way out, swim with the current, but on an angle. does any of this make sense??? I am blundering again but I hope you get what I am trying to say.

It's fun to go on imprmptu road trips. I've done that with a friend. We went in search of alligators. Headed south from a northern state. We never did see any alligators, but we got pretty far.

You'll get motivated eventually! Good luck!

 

[Pin Wizard]

I'm with you, C.Ann! Hugs for you!! Being a single parent 11 years, the routine of doing it all on my own is OLD! And STINKS! Yes, I'd rather run away with you also as opposed to giving you a kick to move it. LOL!

 

[meandtheguys]

Hey C.Ann. I am right there with you. If I didn't have these three, I don't know where I would run, but would run somewhere. It isn't that I hate my life or anything like that, it is just that sometimes there is so much more to deal with than I ever thought there could be. Best thoughts coming out there to you. Try to take care of yourself,

Michelle

 

[C.Ann]

I have managed to pack the van with all but the "last minute" things..

However, I have given myself a "time limit".. If I am still posting from here at 1 p.m., someone has to come up here and kick me in the butt!!!!! LOL

 

[Rajah]

Can I come join you?

 

[meandtheguys]

All right C.Ann...you are home now, right? No longer dissing at the lake? Good luck adjusting back in!
