  My dear, I know what you mean.  I have most certainly felt like just running away before (not in reality of course), but just that wish to break free of everything that feels like its going to break your back or break your spirit.
   
  When we just moved to the UK and I was 6 months pregnant I often felt like running away, back home. . .dont know who I thought would look after me there, but I just wanted to be a little girl again, with no worries to concern me.
   
  I hope when you read this you have found your strength again and caught your breath.
   
  Blessings! Polar

  when your cup gets too full and overflowing....stop filling it!! simple as that! Take a break, slow down and take some time for YOU.

  I think that desire to run away hits everyone from time to time. I'm sure you're not alone. You've got a lot going on. And just because your problems might seem trivial on a grand scale, doesn't make them any less monumental to you. So don't ever think that you shouldn't complain because some people have it worse. That's not fair to yourself. You have a right to feel the way you do. But I just hope you feel better now :-)

  Minnie......Yes.....are you not pushing yourself to hard woman? Don't be too hard on yourself. Reading your blog creates the impression of a very witty and charming person with lovely kids that she lives for.

  If you need help...phone me...I will come and make some fire under you. Comeon girl, be strong!!!

  Thanks so much everyone....I think I just needed a kick in the pants...I knew I was just feeling overwhelmed, but it helps to get it out to people who understand and will listen.  {{{{{{hugs}}}}} back.....  :-)  Minnie

  MINNIE MOUSE:~) How are you? I share your pain and your situation. At least your doing 5hrs. I'm doing 2-3hrs here and there! Cranky and bitchin huh? I know I am to everyone in my house and it sucks b/c I feel sooo bad about it.I have awesome kids too. Are you getting the migraine headaches yet. In some ways I am still angry with my husband for quitting his job. But his seizures are becomming more frequent so I don't know if he could function or deal. Ramble away girl.
   
  You are saying the things that I want to say. IF you runaway save room in the car for me. We could be Thelma and Louise:~) Ha ha!

• minniemouse said on Sep 01, 2007....

  HH.....matter of fact....I have a pretty good headache right now!  My husband travels for his job, and I know its something he really wants to do, but I end up resenting it, because I'm basically a single mother.  I'm working one job that I'm tired of and hope to be done with by January and trying to start a new career in real estate, in addition to carting the girls off to the various activies. 
   
  Don't worry, I'll save room for you in the car, but I get to sleep with Brad Pitt....  ;-)  Minnie

  Minnie, I feel like that a lot especially of late. I am so sick of owing people money.  I am always working and right now I am having some minor health problems. The best thing to do is to take it one day at a time. I'm trying but I sometimes I just want to go to the airport and fly somewhere, away from my problems.

  I could definately use that about now also. I don't really have any responsibilities right now, other than bills. So I could go if I needed. I feel for those that can't. I understand it must be hard for you. I know it would be for me if I couldn't do it when I chose to. But usually I stay and face whatever comes my way, kind of resenting wanting to take care of myself first. But later I feel guilty to. Once things slow down and you can relax a little, you'll be ok. It's just that you've been hit with so much at once and your good nature is being pushed to it's finest point. Hugggs

  Hi princess....I know...feels like everytime you get a little bit of money, there's someone else around to give it to....bills, dance lessons, new shoes for the kids....never enough to go around.  One day at a time.... :-)  MInnie

• minniemouse said on Sep 02, 2007....

  Thanks Sudden!  I think I was just at the height of a "breaking point"....feeling the weight of everything...not knowing where to turn.  Life is full of ups and downs and sometimes the downs seem not to stop!  :-)  Minne

  Minnie- everyday I get up I want to run away, but instead I yell at my husband. :)
  When it rains it pours and it sounds like you got hit with a tsunami all at once.  Take a deep breath.  Just because someone else has it worse doesn't mean that you are not entitled to feel angry and frustrated.  Allow yourself to rant and when you are done you will be able to handle life better. *hugs*

  Minnie little mouse....wanna run into my arms? Lots of comfort here! 

• minniemouse said on Sep 04, 2007....

  Hey mom....I don't even have the energy to yell at my husband!!!  lol  Thanks for the hugs.....I guess I was just feeling overwhelmed, and then I started the usual "beating myself up because what do you have to complain about" bit.  But you're right, you do feel better when you rant.  In fact....I feel another rant coming on!  lol

  Thanks mom!  Minnie
