I am not getting sick.

DO YOU HEAR THAT, WORLD??

I am NOT getting sick.

I’m going to ignore the nose and the throat. And the hot head. And the aching joints.

Because I have to get about 15 people, from all over the world [Can anyone help me with Gambia? How the hell do I find car service in Gambia? What continent is it on? No, really, I need to know] to score a film. Nobody bothered mentioning that they were not local. Nah. Let’s just assume Michele knows every single name of every musician, and their geographic location.

Once again I’m being called upon to pull it out of my ass. Maybe I need to STOP pulling it off, so they don’t think I can do it. Is it possible to do your job TOO well?

Anyway. I am NOT getting sick.

An article…

I’m a little behind on my reading and writing – this article was published in August. I tucked it into my “things to write about folder.” I’m just now getting around to brushing some of this stuff off.

Stefania Pomponi Butler, of CityMama wrote this article I found at Mommy Bloggers.

A couple of quotes and a couple of thoughts…

While I was reading it I could feel my shoulders starting to rise because I really feel for women who try to knock themselves out being the “perfect parent.” I really think that mothers especially need to support each other more, talk to each other more, share with each other more to prevent this from happening. I am reminded of a recent episode of Desperate Housewives where Lynette’s character totally flames out trying to be Supermom, and it’s not until she reaches her lowest point that her friends admit that they have a hard time sometimes, too. Why wait until you or your friends hit rock bottom?

I definitely feel the guilt of not being the perfect parent. I feel guilt because I want my children to have that, and I just don’t have it in me. I don’t have very many mom friends, so I didn’t realize that this was the case until I start reading the journals of moms online. It’s taken some, but not all, of the pressure off.

uh oh

Update: Okay – comments & blogrolls are corrected. However, I’m now left with the same spam issue. I don’t WANT to make people sign up for Typepad or any other service to leave comments. I just want something like a word (easy not the ones you have to think like Picasso to read). That’s all! Guess I have to do a little research.

So I apparently really screwed up my comments. One lovely lady was kind enough to email me. I’m working on it, now that I know. I did think that Wordless Wednesdays were a little quiet today…

And all my blogrolls are screwed up. Weird. OK I need to fix this. Let you know when we’re fixed up.
