Not a word.  This is my life.

I'll definately tune in. And I'll bring my secret decoder ring too.
(seriously though, are you making this stuff up? - j/k)

Terpgirl30, it's not surprising you jumped to that conclusion --it is kind of funny too especially the way you tell it. Take care

Exactly.  I'm finding my real life is fitting into this crazy category of "things you won't believe" category.  So funny but pathetic.  My family deals with insanity with humor.  I don't think it's a denial thing.  So many people in my family have had really horrible lives.  I look around at them and at friends from the years, and there still isn't anyone I'd trade places with.

The thing about life is you can't trade places with a person for one day or an episode.  You have to take start to finish.  When I looked at everyone I knew start to finish, I kept coming to the same conclusion:  Yes, I've had some terrible stuff, but I KNOW that I've come out on THIS side of it.  They have serious sympathy for me, but seriously, I keep thinking, I don't know if I could survive what they went through.

It gives you a very different perspective on bad as well as good.

So you know you will get through, and you laugh at the absurdity of it all.  Okay, you cry, too...but that's a quiet thing.  The writing part is much more productive.
