Feeling Happy

Sainthood intact and a disclaimer


I woke up this afternoon feeling much better.  I am wondering if the Dramamine I had taken the night before when I was so carsick made me feel so evil tempered.  I am, usually, quite Saintly in my demeanor. I read the box today and it said that it should not be taken with depressants. I am not taking depressants, but I am quite sensitive to drugs. I don't drink alcohol, smoke or even drink caffeinated drinks (told you I was a saint.)

Of course, being awakened the night before by an angry husband who didn't want to unload the van by himself made me mad as hell myself.  Woe be unto the one who makes Mama unhappy. The old saying "If Momma ain't happy then nobodies' happy" rings true in this house. At least I got some help with the housework and babysitting.

I do need to clarify something.  I really am not worried about the lack of comments and popularity.  If I was, I surely wouldn't have written it.  It was a joke--albeit a poorly timed one.  This journal is written solely for my own amusement. When I started it I did not even know that it was public!  It was supposed to be a gentle jibe at one of my Lurking Friends (hi Barbara) who often surprises me with knowing something I want to tell her because she reads the journal and never once has left a comment.  That said, I am enjoying all the comments. LOL

I want to reassure the Dear Readers who are unaware of my dramatic nature.  I am grieving, and very sad, but I do not need drugs or support groups.  I have been pregnant at least fourteen times. I know exactly what is going on with my body by now.  I also refuse to NOT grieve, because I am a very Alive person and I do not suppress my feelings....grieving is a way to honor the life that has been lost. I will NOT kill my children or myself. I am just sad. I am still laughing and playing. I am just stressed and sad, too.

Lots of love to The Excellent Uncle Dave and to Amy, for making a difficult day much better.

love, Kas

    I thought of one more brush with celebrity.  My friend Melissa (girlfriend of Mandy's preteen crush Jamaica) is the cousin of Bluegrass legend Ralph Stanley.
