I’m totally testing you

by Tracy on February 25, 2010

Or, crap I realized I haven’t posted in a week, maybe more. Dang.

So, yeah, I’m still completely overwhelmed here and by the time evening comes around I’m so exhausted from the day that all I can do is collapse. I remember being a teenager reading a biography of Sylvia Plath and her writing to somebody and saying that after sunset all she was good for was brandy and the fire and the writing just wasn’t going to happen. Not that I’m comparing my grody food blogging to one of the greatest confessional poets, but we are a lot alike, I think.

I posted this video on my fan page and then realized, hey you know, this video is a good way to find out what makes people tick, I should send it to everyone I know! But I think they are all filtering me now, so I’m just going to post it here and see if anyone has something to say. Or nothing, because your silence, it says so much.

BTW, those people in the audience, in that moment they are awesome and I feel much love for all of them. How could they not be with Sweet Caroline and glow sticks?

You and Sylvia Plath– wow. I totally understand how you can come home and be too tired to do anything. I think I suffered the same fate earlier this year.

The best of skill in finding the energy and the time.

I think the lack of downtime is starting to get to me. At least it should be a temporary condition. One thing I do know is the more I stress about it the less I am able to get done.

He looks like a Q-tip with that thing stretched over his head. I have a swim cap that looks just like that.

My dear, are you getting enough help? If I lived near you, I would pick up all your kids, take them to Chuck E Cheese, buy them all the candy they want, take them to an amusement park, see a movie and then deliver them home to you exhausted so they go to bed right away. Would that do it?

Kathy, you are so sweet. I’m doing okay here, I just don’t have much mental energy at the end of the day. It will eventually get better, so I’m trying not to stress about it too much.

I’m so lame (or am I?). I’ve never heard of DJ Ötzi. That’s lame, isn’t it? What a fun song though!

Remember…..we love you!!!!

XOXOXO

“after sunset all she was good for was brandy and the fire and the writing just wasn’t going to happen. ” Me too! Me too! Of course I sometimes still force myself, but it’s just not the same.

Just don’t stick your head inside any ovens. Or rocks in your pockets. Hang in there fine friend. This rough patch can’t possibly last forever.
