Do you ever catch a glimpse of your life, and think, 'How am I keeping all this together?' I do.
Do you ever think that something might explode inside you if you don't allow yourself to freak out?
I am trying super hard to keep it all together, and not freak out, if you don't mind me saying. 
Many thanks to Momo, for asking me if I was grateful about not having to write grateful posts anymore. (See Grateful posts)

I love that quote.
Yes, last year was a really stressful year. This year is better, and I am thankful!
I can TOTALLY relate. this week has been insane. I feel like I am in reaction mode. and not really doing anything well at all.
2007 was a pretty great year for me. I hope it doesn't start to go every other year. I'm not ready for a bad year. is it spoiled to want another good one back-back...
hang in there darlin'. you do have A LOT on your plate right now. deep breaths.....
Every.Day.
and Peace

So it sounds like it's time for a freak-out. And that's OKAY! With everything you've got going on OF COURSE you need to let it all out. So give yourself that gift as a way to keep your sanity intact.
Just have a controlled freak-out -- After the boys go to bed, lay on the couch and cry with a bottle of pino.
Because the longer you hold it in, the worse the explosion is going to be.
Hugs to you!
I've not seen that quote about Peace before...I like it. I have "freak-outs" often...had one earlier this week...there are pros and cons. lol!
let it out piper.
we're all here to read.
♥ & hugs
I like Liz's idea..and if it helps scream at me..I have two ex's so I can handle it.....:):):)
yes, a controlled freakout. I agree tooo
Hugs for you girlie! I've been there! This too shall pass.
Hey, anytime I can remind you to stop being grateful, I'm there for you babe.
In all seriousness, I'm right there with you. Life is really, really hard right now. It got to a point with my husband today, where he said that I didn't even care about all the crap at work, and I said, "Are you kidding?! It's all I think about, it's all I pray about, it's all I WANT...for things to be okay". But, being miserable (like he is right now) doesn't help me. I explode sometimes too, but it never makes me feel better...just worse. Sheesh. I need to shut up. See what happens when I get on your site after three beers?!
But, what I really want to say, is that however you have to deal with it is right, because it's your way to get through. It's fine if my husband is miserable, if that's what he needs to deal with things.. I understand that. And, if you want to vent, we're all here to "listen".

Oh, for crying out loud. Not only do I ramble, I post it twice. See what happens when I get on your site after three beers? Deja vu...
I know how you feel.
Hang in there. :)
I have freak outs on a regular basis. Let it out. Life on earth is not fair, and certainly not easy. I thank God that it won't be that way in Heaven.
Oh, and for what it's worth, I don't think I'm "keeping it all together" very well at all right now.
I know it's not the same, but everytime I see your post title of "Do You Ever" All I can think of is High School Musical 2 and Zac Efron singing Bet On It.
Yes, I am a LOSER
:) Looks like Momo has unknowingly joined me in my Fri Nite Drunken Blog Hop...
My philosophy is do what you need to do to deal with what you need to deal with (freak out, have a couple rounds etc) after your main objective of each day is done, and that is getting your kids to bed healthy, happy and one day wiser.
Oh, Piper, more than you know! I think freaking out is a part of life. Nay, I don't think...I know!
Sincerely,
The Mama that Freaked Out Because Her Daughter Scraped Her Fork on Her Plate This Morning
Pulling myself out after I have had a freak out takes more energy than the actual freak out itself. Which is why I am always in freak out mode.
I have days where I know without a doubt how blessed I am and I have no trouble being grateful, then there are days where I wish with all my heart I had someone else's life. Those are the days I am most grateful for. Because something always happens that reminds me of why I am who I am and why I am so blessed to have the life I have.
Wonderful post.
Grateful, Grumpy, Peaceful or pissy... I'll always take joy in visiting you.
Ya'll RULE! Thanks for being there for me... and always making me laugh, which really is the best cure for what ailes me.
Oh, and PG, I've never seen High School Musical.. ~lol
