Comments on: Staying Home http://somuchmorethanamom.com/2009/12/04/staying-home/ How many of us lost OURSELVES when we took on the awesome title of MOM? And why did we do that? We are ALL…SO MUCH MORE THAN A MOM!

Curl up on that comfy couch and treat yourself well. I’m sorry you haven’t been feeling well, Cyndi. Curl up on that comfy couch and treat yourself well.

I would love to be curled up on the couch and drinking....heavily. Unfortunately I'm actually working. Mandatory weekend overtime announced at 3:30pm on Friday. Gotta love this business! Maybe I'll drink heavily anyway. :) Thanks Tammy. I would love to be curled up on the couch and drinking….heavily. Unfortunately I’m actually working.

You are NOT the Creepy Christian Lady! I'm in awe of your faith, especially since I'm still searching for my own. It is crushing and I know your heart is in the right place. Thank you.

Hope you are feeling better soon. .-= Tammy´s last blog ..<a href="http://meandmymoments.wordpress.com/2009/11/30/turkey-day-tales/" rel="nofollow">Turkey Day Tales…</a> =-.

The huge loss that you are feeling will take a lot out of a person. I wish I could woosh all the pain away for everyone who knows Gina. I have hesitated to say this because talking about Gina in a sense of her not being here is crushing. BUT I will say it cuz you know where I stand and you know my heart! God is getting one of the true GOOD ones when she leaves this crummy earth, and that day is when her real joy will begin! I know it is hard to think of it that way cuz her loved ones are still here, but I am 100% sure of the fact that Jesus will be keeping her close to him. I know I sound like the Creepy Christian Lady again, But I trust in my Lord and I trust in Heaven! Love and Blessings, Rai Hey Cyndi,

It's funny that you mention difficulty expressing yourself. I almost didn't click that publish button because I knew I sounded like a whiny Debbie Downer! I finally figured it's my blog and I can be cranky if I want to. :) Thank you Dawn. It’s funny that you mention difficulty expressing yourself.

I don't about your weather but here we don't see any hints of spring until April and sometimes even May. It's just too damn long! Ok, I’ll try telling myself that too Les.

It's been this way all of my life, the student stuff I appreciate more and more these days. I make a show in the 'real world' and hunger for home again. My sanctuary, where 'life' is truly happening. It depletes me to be around people I cannot connect with unless we're on the same learning curve. The ones I do connect with, like you ... I consider them lifelines. Solitude is food for the spirit. The world can go on without me showing up for a lot of things I could care a less about. I am better for keeping myself from 'the crowd.' We seldom trust what we feel is best for us ... I don't know why. I'm so happy you trust what is best for you right now. And I also want to say, I admire your ability to express what you think ... I am struggling with that in my transition right now. .-= Dawn´s last blog ..<a href="http://morsemusings.wordpress.com/2009/12/03/you-know-its-cold-when/" rel="nofollow">You Know It’s Cold When …</a> =-.

I LOVE being home, too, even when I'm not sick or grieving. Hope you feel better soon. Remember, in a few weeks, the days will start to get longer again! That's what my hubby is already telling himself to help deal with crappy winter! I can so relate to this. I LOVE being home, too, even when I’m not sick or grieving.

I think you hit the nail on the head. I don't think I've ever really grieved anything before and it feels draining. Consuella: Thank you and don't worry, I'm not going to turn into some depressed hermit (although I do contend that we should be allowed to hibernate during the winter). It's a temporary "bleh" feeling that will pass. Although a fabulous trip to France would be absolutely lovely...have a great trip! :) Karen: Thank you. I think you hit the nail on the head.
