I dont understand why you took down that lovely other post, or why I want to fall asleep on the couch at 8:00 but when I am in bed I can't, I don't understand why...so many things. And sadly, I can offer no comfort whatsoever, because I suck. :)
ReplyDeleteI understand all that not understanding.
ReplyDeleteI am with you on the evening wakefulness and morning want of sleep!
ReplyDelete@Kori - It was a personal request. No post is worth trouble in my house. But big kiss for saying it was lovely.
ReplyDelete@Steph - Yeah, the one thing we understand. It's sad.
@Tanya - Isn't it silly? I was telling Jack today he should try to feel what he feels in the morning when he can't sleep at night. I think I should apply some of that myself.
I don't understand...why grass grows in my flower beds but not in what I don't have the cheek to call a lawn; why my dog needs lean his head in my lap in order to chew smelly things; how days fly past so fast; why you took down the post on Marie's birth...
ReplyDeleteI do understand (in my case at least)... evening is free time (I don't want to lose it sleeping), mornings are the start of chores (it's hard to rip myself out of bed). And I understand (and don't like) friends who are scared of both committment AND loss. xxx
I just damn well understand all of that. I wish to hell I didn't. But we're going to be better- I promise.
ReplyDeleteAnd I read that other beautiful post, too. I loved it.
I don't understand why we just don't understand.But I think we need to stop beating ourselves up, give ourselves time and learn to be kinder to ourselves.
ReplyDeleteAs for twitter....who gives a rats anyway!
I don't understand either. Perhaps knowing it's okay to not understand everything is okay too.
ReplyDeleteI don't understand even when others do. Obviously, I can't help you.
ReplyDeleteWell, I missed something, so I don't understand. And the universe is periodically super incomprehensible, especially if you are pregnant.
ReplyDeleteI don't understand either.
ReplyDeleteAnd I don't understand why it is so easy to feel like you've fixed it one day only to find all the crap waiting for you the next day.
Sometimes I think you just have to not know and that be ok. At least we're all clueless together x
the first point must just be one of those human nature things. i'm in a very antisocial stage at the moment because i'm kind of sick of struggling with that stuff...recharging my "lets be sociable and make ourselves look like we're the sort of people you'd want to be friends with" batteries.
ReplyDeleteas for potties, that lies ahead for me.
the other stuff is hormones, dont worry
I don't understand why some days I'll be able to take everything in my stride, deal with irrascible children, annoying sales people, cook dinners that are delicious at the drop of the hat and get everything done and other days just looking at me wrong will cause tantrums, tears, drama and without a doubt that will be the day when everything breaks and my dinner is vile and I get to the end of the day without getting anything done. Or why using a potty is so difficult. x
ReplyDelete@Pueblo girl - That grass? We get that too. Just ridiculous.
ReplyDelete@Ms. Moon - Thank you. For both things.
@Countess - You are right. On both counts.
@Lady Mama - It has to be, I suppose.
@Angie Muresan - :-)
@GingerB - The pregnancy - how much can I blame on that?
@Josie - We should start a clueless club. x
@screamish - It bugs me so much, though - surely it would be so much nicer if we could just tell the people we like that we do.
@Brit in Bosnia - I know!!! I'm having a day that oscillates wildly between great and vile. I hope the great wins out in the end. x
The friend thing....I believe it's their problem. They have low self-esteem. It's like "You must be a real loser if you want to be friends with someone like me." Then when you are aloof, it's "Please, please, I need you to pay attention to me." I've come to the conclusion life is too vibrant to bother with people like that! And I'll never really understand them anyway!
ReplyDeleteThanks for being so thoughtful--I enjoy your ramblings.
I don't understand how I get frightened of reading other blogs/updating my own blog and almost experience paralysis when on the computer tempted to type in my own blog address.
ReplyDeleteAnd I don't understand all of your issues either.
The world is so confusing...in my own head at least.
Yip. I have friends of the #1 sorts. I don't get them either. But every time I plan on abandoning them, they come back to me, bagging me for forgiveness. Grrr.
ReplyDeleteWe're complicated creatures and I don't think we'll ever understand ourselves or others...I certainly don't x
ReplyDeleteI don't get it either. I really wish I did.
ReplyDeleteI thought I commented on this already.
ReplyDeleteLike a week ago.
Hm.
I love your list.
Well, I guess I mean I understand it.
Except for the potty part. I'm shocked any of us ever figure that out.
