Today I'm inspired by Mr. Jason Mraz.  Thank you, sir!

I've reached the 5 week mark of The Broken Foot Debacle.  Antsy doesn't begin to describe my state of mind.  Today, I finally put the crutches in the closet and set about getting my life back.  It hurts like hell to walk on it, but I just can't sit here and stare at the computer, walls or TV anymore. 

Along with all this navel gazing, I've been going through some stuff.  I've come to a point in my life where I just want peace.  Not silence.  I like noise.  For instance:

  • Music
  • Kids laughing
  • My silly dog dreaming
  • I love yous
  • Talking till all hours about philosophy
Lately, I haven't been enjoying these sounds.  Why?  Because they haven't been there!!!  Instead, we've had a smattering of:

  • People stalking through the house with iPods on
  • Kids arguing and teenagers snarking
  • My silly dog barking at me because he needs out and I can't take him
  • I love you...but you're driving me insanes
  • Arguing till all hours about ridiculous, unimportant crap
Here's the thing.  I'm 34.  I have 3 children that are teenager, almost teenager and can-you-stop-aging-right-now-please (10).

I've done the "young" marriage.  I've done the back and forth and misunderstood and reading into something you did NOT say.  I don't want to do it anymore.  I'm too old for drama and crap.  I actually said "I don't need to be understood by you or anyone else.  I won't fight to be understood.  I need no vindication.  I KNOW I'm amazing.  What's YOUR malfunction??"

So, how do you deal with a situation you totally walked into?  I married a "newbie", so why do I find myself with the lack of patience to get through the beginning? I just want to jump ahead to the part I should be at. 

God love him.  He stepped into a full house.  I just can't help but throw my hands up and say "You were warned".  I realize my intolerance is my own problem, but I've got three kids to figure out.  My plate is full!

Until all of this sorts itself out, I think I'll sit here and have a glass of Marzemino, listen to some G&R and continue to try and decode the teenager.  And that's a whole new post.

Stop trying to figure them all out. It will make you crazier than you already are!
