Sunday Selections, sort of. With lots of talking. Because I CAN.

by Veronica on August 28, 2011

in Grief, Headfuck, Life, My body is broken.

My children have been screaming at each other for hours. Amy has done something to Isaac, but Isaac has touched something of Amy’s and it’s just this big convoluted mess of screaming and sibling angst and apparently I’m not paying enough attention to either of them, despite ending up with both of them in my lap at every opportunity.

We’re all sick, with some sort of fluey cold thing, and I’m due for my period, which means my joints keep falling out of place. Exhaustion levels are high, as are levels of snot soaked tissues (and shoulders and knees – thanks Isaac) and PMS.

I spent some time looking back through old photos, like I always do on Sunday and now I’m sad. I’ve got PMS and I miss my grandmother and the week of slightly warm weather has decided to disappear and nothing is working how it should, least of all my body. Shoulders are not meant to go crunch when you roll over in bed.

Some days, I would like to just go back to bed and stay there. Some days, it all just feels like too much and I’d like to trade back the dead grandmothers and autism and Ehlers Danlos for a door that isn’t quite so tough.

Please.

My children before they got all angry with each other:

Our sunset the other day:

And these, that make me miss Summer so terribly.

MONA FOMA:

My garden – before the frost killed everything.

I didn’t know that Ehlers Danlos existed until reading your blog recently. Must be SUCH a hard way to live every day. I can’t even imagine. Makes my problems seem bearable in comparison (not that we are, not that we should). Just wanted to let you know that I hope things get better, that these photos ring true again.
