It's gonna be Wednesday tomorrow in six hours.

When do we start back to school???

If you're a mom you say this with some sort of tear in your eye.  Sadness, exhaustion, near-nervous breakdown, something you picked up while cleaning out behind the seats of your SUV.  But that doesn't count.  Anyway, you're going to have strong emotions so you might as well embrace 'em.

Why not?

Your kids are going to be THRILLED for exactly ONE day.  From the moment they come home from school the first day until summer vacation .... all the way until graduation it's going to fucking blow.

So why not let's just give up?  Fuck doing shit with our hair and getting out of our "comfortable clothes" that every-goddamn-body knows you wear religiously - stop lying to yourself!  It's just too much energy to keep lying to yourself, girl.

And you know what blows my mind?  It's that they ARE excited for that ONE morning.  Every fucking year.

Damn.  That's some tenacity.  Maybe there's hope, but I doubt it.

Hey, thanks for this comment. That was cool of you. I'm really sorry that I had to moderate it, but if I don't then the comment section would be full of links to porn, pills, and some other just awful things. I'll approve your comment if it's legitimate (but no judgment on what you say, personally - I'll be as unbiased as humanly possible.)

Thanks for visiting my blog, Strange Night Words where I share random sentences that are odd, mean more than they appear to mean, funny, depressing, or sometimes even educational!

However, especially in Spain, it can be used to describe an indescribable charm or magic that isn’t limited to nature. You might hear about the  duende  of flamenco singing, for example. Duende  —  The feeling of awe and inspiration had, especially when standing in nature. The overwhelming sense of beauty and magic.

“Grief, when it comes, is nothing like we expect it to be.”

Joan Didion observed this disorienting fact in her classic memoir of loss : “Grief, when it comes, is nothing like we expect it to be.” And when it does come, it unweaves the very fabric of our being. When love is lost, we lose the part of ourselves that did the loving — a part that, depending on the magnitude of the love, can come to approximate the whole of who we are. I have been missing my father very much lately, and this quote really touched me.
