Sometimes, nothing is right or good or happy or smiley. Sometimes, nature ravages the earth for no good reason at all. Sometimes, the more you try to help someone, the more you hurt them. Sometimes, you have to let go. Even though you really, really don’t want to. Even though your whole heart and body ache with the thought of it.
I think I’m having one of those moments/days in my life when you look around at all the suffering and the pain and the anguish and the sadness, and your whole world seems pointless. You realize what you really want, and what you won’t stand for anymore. You realize even though you’ve done what you can for a cause, it’ll never be enough, there will always be more to do.
Some big changes are coming. Hopefully I will still have this outlet for cathartic reasons. This site has become like therapy to me. Even when my day is so shitty that I can barely blink fast enough to keep from screaming/sobbing, I can always sit down at my computer and find something to laugh about. It always puts things in perspective for me. I’m so lucky to have that.
Oh, and another development this weekend. My sister’s triplets finally met my dog. After they got over the initial shock of “That’s not Cali! She’s the wrong color! I don’t waannnnnttt her in the waaaater with meeee!” they adored her. Although they were very curious about one thing…
Tyler: “Mama, what are these?” points at Molly’s zillion nipples
Me: “Yeah, Beth. What are those?” Yes, I am a bitch
My Sister: “Ummm…they’re, well, they’re belly-buttons.”
Dylan: “BELLY-BUTTONS?!” extreme disbelief
Sloan: “That’s a lot of belly-buttons! Why does she have so many?”
Me: “Yeah, why so many?” evil, Chucky-like smile and flames in eyes
My Sister: “Because.” looks at me like as to say “if you say one more thing, I swear, the dog gets it!”
The belly-button conversation is now officially the kids’ favorite topic. I’d probably want people to know if I knew a creature with 8 belly-buttons too! The insanity!

If you haven’t donated yet, get your ass into gear. My sadness is quickly turning to pure outrage.

Thank you so much to everyone who donated to the Hurricane Katrina relief fund. It was so incredible to go into FedEx with all of those boxes from such a relatively small number of people. Keep it coming, we’re sending more out tonight and tomorrow.
I don’t think there will be much posting in the next few days, as I’m off to wear purple shirts, hang out with family and drink a gallon of tequila. Should be fun. I’m also hoping not to get eaten alive by mosquitos, as I have been this week. Apparently, I’m quite tasty.
