today i wrote a tough letter to basically all the people i will be spending time with this summer. stating that the drug is making me a tad irrational, but there isn't enough time to start a new drug.
after the triplets were born i was seeing a therapist and she was very interested in the fact that i wasn't "angry" at epilepsy. we never explored "why not", we just established i wasn't. but i don't like this medicine/sideeffect business. at all. if i want to get upset with my mother's choice of yellow gold instead of platinum jewellery, it should be on my terms, instead of medicine's.
so i wrote the letter and duly sent it off, telling folks no reply was necessary. and of course, replies come in from people. i had writted that this was a "tough letter to write", and one person basically said they were sure it was, and that was one of the reasons i was so easy to love. my family and friends are so supportive.
i went for a run and was still feeling pretty low when i returned. but then i got an email from a friend that i hadn't sent the email to. ironically, it was headed: because i love you. now let me tell you, this friend is a dynamo. she has 12 kids over to her flat and doesn't sweat it, has dinner parties for 12 and doesn't get a drop on her white outfit, is always accessorised, can wear a time consuming hairstyle with pieces that drape elegantly across the forehead and they stay in place, you know the type. i opened the email, and there was only a link.

go to it, friends. check it out. we have established that i am a lover of this sort of stuff...and tomorrow i will give you, a la letterman, my top 10.
sending out one email to help smooth out future matters left me feeling sad, opening another email to revist my past left me feeling sentimental, and happy.
your mission....list your faves!!! and pass this on, this is way too good to pass up.
HAVE FUN.
Great link! I could spend hours! I've bookmarked it & will return.

Ok, so I may not have dinner parties or 12 kids at my place, but I have been taking care of 60 kids each week for the last 3 - so perhaps I might be as fabulous in my own way? :)
Glad you liked the link - I do love you and I'm starting to feel sad for MC, because I've been hearing my guy say, "Oh, my favorite!" or "Oh, this one is great!" for the last 3 hours I'd we are almost through the playlist.
Tell MC I'm sorry! But, I do love you - I only wish that I was closer and that I could tell you in person - have that other lovely woman give you a hug from her imposter!
xoxo

Hey, fun stuff to share with my kids! Thanks. I went right away to Katrina and the waves: Walkin' on Sunshine. We'll have to do some music-surfing this summer - tomorrow is the last day of kindergarten! I'm going to be in withdrawal as much as the kids are.
Best wishes,
