Thoughts on Venting

Some days are good and some are bad. I try my best to find the good in everyday, but it is really hard sometimes!

SOMETIMES I JUST WANNA.....

*kick and scream like a kid
*splat, I AM GOING CRRRRAAAAZZZZZZZZZY and I'm so frustrated all over facebook
*call up the subpoena clerk and explain to them that my husband would appreciate more than 2 1/2 hours of sleep a night and scream to them about how I would love to see my husband at least every other day!!!







WHAT I TRY TO DO INSTEAD...



There are a few ways I deal with hard days. Most hard days I just grab my journal and write and sometimes I cry (a girl needs a cry every once in a while right?). As I write I try to find the positive in what is going on. I think of how this trial of loneliness and exhaustion is strengthening me. I think of who I may be able to relate to in the future because of this hard time I am going through. A few times I have called up a listening ear such as my mother, sister, or good friend. Other times I think of others who I can do service for to get my mind off of myself (some of those who live close by are often recipients of baked goods on my really hard days). For some reason baking with my kids and delivering cookies, or bread to a friend make me feel so much better (then eating a cookie afterward helps too :)



HERE'S WHERE YOU COME IN!




HOW DO YOU VENT? DO YOU THINK ITS A HEALTHY THING TO VENT? DON'T WE ALL GET ANGRY SOMETIMES? IF YOU'VE BEEN ON FACEBOOK LATELY YOU PROBABLY KNOW LOTS OF PEOPLE WHO GO AHEAD AND PUT ALL THEIR COMPLAINTS OUT THERE EVERYDAY FOR EVERYONE TO SEE. HOW DOES IT MAKE YOU FEEL HEARING ABOUT OTHER PEOPLE'S ISSUES CONSTANTLY. DO YOU THINK VENTING SHOULD BE PERSONAL OR IS IT FINE TO VENT PUBLICLY? (I'm not sure how everyone feels on this issue, so please do share).

It really depends on the vent on facebook.. if it could be a funny thing.. or interesting maybe to others.. I don't mind it.. or if you know people can relate, but when people vent about their jobs.. or family.. or just a lot.. sometimes I get annoyed with those venters... I am a total venter.. and I normally call my Mama, Husband or Friend.. and I feel much better after.. I am a total mouthy steamer though! Maybe I should try to shut my trap and bake! That sounds like a good idea!
