Fighting to keep my head above water

Haven't been writing lately, as there has just been so much going on.  Hubby is basically doing NOTHING since I got back from my trip in August.  He is either sleeping, watching TV, or planted in front of the computer.  So I pretty much get to do it all.  It's all so depressing. 

Needless to say, "it" doesn't all get done, as I am also working, attempting to clean house and care for an elderly parent, regularly visiting another elderly family member, and also dealing with some garbage that an evil sister-in-law has created, which may or may not end up in court.  Stop the world already, I want to get off!  It would be so much better if I could at least sleep at night. 

One bright spot: I have finally gone kayaking a couple of times this week.  Could have spent the time doing something else that should have gotten done, but . . . I reveled in the peace of being out on the water.  Need to get out there again soon, as it is starting to get colder.  Now, if I could only kayak away from all my problems, I'd be all set!

  3. Wow this describes my relationship with my Type 1 wife. I bought a kayak last summer in part to get away from her moodiness. I plan to keep on paddling away through these ice cold winter months. Not sure how much longer I can keep this up?

  4. Dear Anonymous,

    Good for you, that you got a kayak. It really does help! I don't paddle through the ice cold winter months around here . . . just too cold, and too much ice. BE CAREFUL about getting into a bad situation out on the water when it's cold. I ask myself almost every day how much longer I can keep this up. It is far from easy.

    Take care of yourself,

    Lilly
