You ever.. AHHH! Just get so MAD? ... Some days, I could just unleash on some people. I don't know what it is about anger.. But it finds a way, to entangle itself, and to completely poison anything you have going.
Anger destroys many people, and families. But how do you cope with stress? How do you "count to ten" so to speak? I know, myself, I have a hard time with that. I cuss like a sailor, and can be very straightforward at times, maybe too much.
Knowing the reason Why, would be a great thing. So, I dig...
What really pisses me off?
Why does it get to me so badly?
How long do I go without letting off some steam, the right way?
How do I avoid situations that set me off?
How do I resolve them once it's too late?
and...
Why do you wait so long, and let everything build up?
well, as mothers, I believe we ALL do this. We stress over perfection, food, laundry, sex, and the kids.. and by the time we take care of everyone else, our day is over, and we still didn't finish the dishes. Just for me, stress = anger and then later tears..
So what's A woman to do? Huh? Let me tell you what my grandma told me last night when she was here.. She could see the stress all over my face.
" Melissa Dawn " thats me .. lol.. " What the hell are you so mad about? Why do you let yourself get all worked up over things that really are not that important? What you need to do, is say screw housework, and have a beer."
In a sense, it was the perfect thing to say.
Take time for yourself. My grandmother wishes she had.. She said her life has passed her by, and anger was a HUGE Problem of hers. And she regrets many of the decisions that were made out of anger. She says that like me, stress caused it. She was always trying to perfect everything she did. And, oh, she always had to be right. "thats something I got over REALLY quick" She told me. "You just have to bite the bullet, and know when you get older, karma will kiss your hind side."
What would I do without this woman.
I Love my grandma so much, she is a very smart, witty, and TOUGH Italian woman. I hope I can be a lot like her when I age. I think I'll be alright.
Now that my kids are about to push me over the edge.. I think I'll have a beer. lol
