Day one: Ramblings of a lonely woman
November 1, 2009
Well, I think I'll attempt to do a NaBloPoMo again, although something or other has always prevented me from succeeding in the past. So come back here every day this month for my not-so-lucid ramblings.
Speaking of not-so-lucid ramblings; my poor husband is going to come out of the rainbow gathering where he has no technology, only to find a one sided conversation with me in his email, including at least one sobbing-on-the-couch epistle in which I mention the word death. The very next message? Declarations of my undying love for him. It occurs to me that the last time Chinua left, my sister was with me, stemming the tide of the crazies. And the time before that? Matty, the brother full of awesome who also mopped the overflow of the crazies. In their absence, some strange posts and some strange emails in my husband's inbox. Ahhhh.
Today I wanted to show you this newest video from my friends at Drawn From Water. (I've been looking at airline tickets today... dreaming of visiting them.) After watching the video, I realize that nothing more really needs to be said about it. It says it all. Loneliness suddenly seems unimportant.

Loneliness is important. This parenting gig is a tough one even with two sets of hands and hearts and heads. Doing it on your own not easy (and I only have 2...thats HALF what you have...oh and I am in my own home country without dramas about water and power and all that). You rock. Hang in there. Find someone to give you a hand or a break even if its only 5 mins in the shower of half an hour to go for a walk by yourself or to share a hot cup of tea in the sunshine together and talk about nothing/everything
143 milliom! That is crazy. Prayers. For them, for you.
