I am feeling I don't know what today.
Uninspired, stagnant, a little lonely and bland.
For some reason today I have this incredible feeling that I want to create, cook, design, love, garden, just something.
I started packing some boxes but the only thing on my mind is unpacking, where is everything going to go? I want to decorate my space. I want to love it and have it be mine. Maybe that is part of it-this no longer feels like my space. It is like living in a Motel or someone elses house. I don't want what I have here. It is only going to get worse as I pack more boxes but it needs to be done. My logical side is saying "Pull up your big girl pants woman!" but for some reason my emotional side is flexing it's muscles as well. I don't like emotion.
Today I sold some yard blocks on Craig's List and as I helped him load them into his truck I looked around my neglected yard. Why weed? Why plant? I really need to get some pots and dig up the plants I want to take with me. Lillies, hydrangeas and roses. They are mine and I worked hard on them for the last 6 years and I refuse to leave them behind. I do not want to start completely fresh I want to continue with the things I love.
Speaking of love, today I am on this crazy thought train. I am emotionally a puzzle even to myself. I need to be tough for the kids, life and work. I can bottle feelings up and put them on the shelf like BBQ sauce. I just don't want to do that anymore.  Today I just want to be in stupid crazy love, like have a crush, like I am 20 years old. I want to be dying to hear from you. I want to laugh and walk holding hands. I want to be kissed. I want to trust and feel safe. I don't want to worry about opening myself up and being hurt. I want to be able to be afraid. I just don't think that exists.
I was once told Life is not a Disney movie. Good God, I wish it could be.

As I re-read this, I have to laugh at myself.  I can put this out there on a public blog but could never say these words directly from my lips.
Don't ever ask me, I will deny knowing what you are talking about.

Now we put all that away and go back to my regularly scheduled life.

I think sometimes we box up more than we should. Hang in there, you. Tomorrow is another day. Let's hope it gets here sooner.
