It's hard for me to get motivated. Gotta pay some bills. Get some stamps. Do some cleaning. It's SOOO hard for me to do it at home. At school, I get stuff done. Here, it's like an invisible vaccuum sucks out all of my hope and keep me from moving. It is the most bizarre thing. I feel lethargic. I feel overwhelmed. I feel like crying. I think that I am suffering a form of depression here in my home. I dread him coming home. I dread having to make small talk of any sort. I hate fake. Despise it.
He was upset that I didn't want to go to a missionary meeting with him last night. He wants me to still live his life. I am not that willing anymore. I want to putter on my home. Paint my kitchen. Paint my bathroom. Regrout. Fix up the ceiling. Replace the bulb. I want to lay on my bed on the porch and simply be. I want to actually live in my home. But I'm frozen. Kept from producing. Don't get to choose. Kills me. Hope not literally. But, sometimes I worry for my health because of the extreme amounts of stress that have been put upon me. Without outlet. Without the undeniable support of family. I will be fine. I just have to make it...love my kids. God has granted me this long, I pray for longer. Then, I pray to be free. But, sometimes, I wonder why I wait. My one son asked me that about 6 weeks ago. Why do you stay? He doesn't treat you well. Sigh.
He's cheap. He's narcissistic. He's prideful. He's mean spirited. He's pitiful. And he covers it all with a laugh and charm. Now I'm shaking again. How will I ever survive? What will it take??? How can I do it???
I bawled this afternoon. A teen wet his finger and wiped off my mascara later on. I wonder if he knew that it was from crying. I hope not.
Now I sit here. Waiting. Dreading. Any minute. He'll walk in. I don't have anything to do. Nothing to make me invisible. Trying to work here makes me open to comments.
He is growing a garden. Keeps the chickens out. There are those tears again. Why do I have a sense of wanting to salt water his garden on the sly? That's not me. I wouldn't really do it. But, he has been such a complete a hole about my garden all of this time and it's like he rubs my face in his doing it.
Ok, when contemplating getting mad and doing something about it, I feel a spark of life. But, I want to keep the peace for five more frickin years. aaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrrgggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!NNNNNNOOOOOOOOO!!!!!
