That man I married.. argh

That man I married, argh where do I start. He does some of the most annoying things in the world.  He annoys me at times to the point I swear I will explode and a few times I've had my face split open and my skull come out. It's frightening, truly, he's even told me so. But what I want to talk about tonight isn't the annoying things that he does of which there are many. Like when he breaths in and out and in and out. The nerve of him.  What I want to talk about tonight is when I am neurotic, when I get overwhelmed by the stress of our lives and find myself muttering in strange tongues and keeping things even, that's when he truly shines.  

I called him from work last week or the week before and then again this week, speaking in tongues and he listened. I was rambling and babbling and all the fun things I do when I get upset and he just let me. When I came home, he just held me. Yeah, he's alright that man I married, just don't tell him I said that.

Some things help us to remember why we married them. In my case, I remember why I divorced both of them.

I had all kinds of thoughts and plans for my future. Dreams of the life I'd lead and the places I'd travel. But dreams are simply mist, blown away by the winds of reality, and as a well-known movie of our  younger years taught us, 'Reality Bites'. Reality is a bitter bitch.

Monster Juice Spray pussifying our children?

Today someone posted a cute little story about a pharmacy that prescribes a Monster Spray to children that have monsters under their bed. They spray the spray before bedtime, under their bed and it makes all the monsters go away. A little six year old girl used it three times before she was sure all the monsters were gone. I find this story absolutely adorable. I think it's wonderful that this pharmacists does something so kind for small children with big imaginations. I think a little magic in this world is just what a lot of child need. The response from one woman totally had me stunned. She said it's crap like this that is pussifying our children. Really? Then she went on in another reply when asked what one has to do with the other to say her daughter was bullied and what are they going to make next, bully spray? (They do make a bully spray, it's called mace!)  Her daughter had to graduate early because of bullies. Okay, what does her daughter being bullied have to do...

Sometimes..

Sometimes the emotional pain becomes too much to bear. Sometimes the emotional pain feels like it's going to consume us. Sometimes the emotional pain is so overwhelming that we need a physical pain to release it before we lose ourselves and who we are in it. Not everyone can understand this, I get that. Not everyone can look at someone with scars that were self inflicted and say, I see your pain. Sometimes, we hide those scars under our jeans so no one will notice. It's not for attention, it's for release. Sometimes we dull the pain with alcohol, sometimes we dull the pain with drugs either prescription or illegal. Sometimes we smoke too much and talk to loud. But we find our release to keep us alive. We are survivors with our scars to prove it.
