It's like the more money you make, the more you spend, but the opposite. The more you have to do, the more you take away from other things to get it done. I've been feeling like I can barely keep my head about water for the last couple of months, but I'm clutching the belief that it's going to get better. I guess it is, slowly.QueenieCarlyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17524823624549544329noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17073741.post-4053668081106468182007-07-08T02:29:00.000+10:002007-07-08T02:29:00.000+10:00Have you ever felt that your life is just about su...<I>Have you ever felt that your life is just about survival?</I><BR/><BR/>I think Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five said it best...

But then something comes up and I work it in and somehow I am still treading water and staying afloat. Some days I am amazed at how I managed not to just say "screw it all" and let everything drop. I guess it's in my nature to keep my crazy life going.Cupcake Blondehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10588999664483664504noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17073741.post-85112813848060764282007-07-07T06:07:00.000+10:002007-07-07T06:07:00.000+10:00Like Courtney said, sometimes it's amazing as to w...Like Courtney said, sometimes it's amazing as to what we go through just to make it in normal life, let alone anything else. And then something BIG comes along and you're pretty sure that packing it all in and finding a good hole to curl up in would be a good enough way to spend the next, oh, 6 <I>years</I>.<BR/><BR/>I've always wondered how I'd fare on an island. Like you, I have a "solitude requirement" built-in to my psyche. I have to be alone for so many hours in a day or I get <I>extremely</I> agitated and cranky. My wife, thankfully, knows this and leaves me the heck alone when I need the time.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17073741.post-67273878965729416902007-07-06T17:03:00.000+10:002007-07-06T17:03:00.000+10:00It really does feel like every day is a battle to ...It really does feel like every day is a battle to get through, I know exactly what you mean.
