Last night...just last night...I told you about my "ought to."
It feels like it was a lifetime ago...and it feels like it was an hour ago. It's been a long day, filled with "get off your brother" and "stop hitting your sister" and "you may not talk to me that way" and "I love you." And it's been a long day filled with longing, thinking, planing, bouncing around a myriad of thoughts like ping pong balls in my mind.
It hit me, sometime mid-day (3:26 this afternoon, to be exact--yes, I looked at the clock), that I don't know what is is with which women struggle! I mean, I AM a woman. I know what I struggle with every day. I know what plagues my thoughts and pulls me this way and that and makes my mind spin. But you? I don't even know you. How am I ever going to talk to you, to tell you my story in a way that will matter, if I don't know why you need to hear my story?
Tonight, friends (and tomorrow and the next day and for the next 15 years), I implore you to tell me what it is that gets to you. I need to know what you need to know. I want to know what pulls you this way and that. What pushes you, what pressures you, what really gets under your skin. I'll never be able to talk to you if I don't know a bit about you.
Please, please take a moment and think about it. If you're willing, tell me in a comment. If you're not willing to leave a comment but are still willing to share, send me an email and tell me (mythisnthatlife@gmail.com). I appreciate, so much, your comments!
I want to leave you with this, because I love it and sometimes I need it:

I have to say, I've loved that song since I first heard it - totally identify with it.
I agree with Jen - I love that song! My husband even refers to it as "my" song when he hears it on the radio. Life with multiple littles can be trying!
