it is what it is

Welcome to reality. If you lived here, you’d be home now.

Lynn Johnston nails it again.

This For Better or For Worse strip made me laugh. And cringe.

Anyone have suggestions for how to handle this kind of situation?

    The only thing that I have found that works is if Jon actually takes the kids out somewhere (or I go somewhere else) to have alone relaxing time. Let me know if you come up with anything else!

    That’s what I’m finding also. The difference for me yesterday was that I wanted to get work done. Maya was off with a friend, so M only had to watch Gavin. And what happened? Mike seemed to think that doing a household project was compatible with watching a baby/toddler.

    Suffice it to say, I’m still not done. I have three more (partial) days before we leave for Arizona. After that, I am NOT doing more schoolwork. Guess I have to crank TODAY instead. SIGH.

    On the bright side, we have a kick-ass baby gate installed in our hallway now, keeping the bedrooms and bathrooms safe from the man-baby who now opens doors.

    Gawd. I said “kick-ass baby gate.” Did I REALLY say that?

After a childhood of immersion in my family's religious tradition, I hit college and my first true experience with the question, "why?" Why did I believe as I did? If I thought about it, I had no idea. So, I spent the next ten years not thinking about it.

.

Once I hit 30, I began asking myself that question all over again. A few years later, I woke one day to realize that I simply didn't believe. For many reasons, I am a much happier (and more emotionally healthy) person having let go of god. There are still days that I wish god did exist. It would be a relief to relinquish responsibility to a greater power.

.

But, even better, I can see life for what it is, and work with reality. That's more powerful than any god could hope to be.
