Please let us weather this storm
Crossing my fingers
My stomach in knots
Did we offend you, karma?
Let things go our way.
I wish I could tell
All these worries in my head
But I must stay mute
Want to know how to drive a blogger insane? Give her news that directly affects her family and stresses her out, but then tell her she can’t blog about it because people involved may read the blog, which could affect the outcome. It’s killing me.
I want to explain what’s going on. I want to whine and cry and ask for a shoulder to lean on, spilling out my fears to any who would listen. It’s a situation I’ve never had to deal with before, it’s scary, and being unable to type out those words is almost painful. It’s such a big part of my life right now that writing posts without discussing it feels sort of dishonest.
As soon as I’m able, I will share everything. But for now, I can only write these vague lines. Slightly therapeutic, but overall still unsatisfying to me, and I’m sure to you, too.
(Oh, and before you ask: I’m not pregnant. And everyone is healthy. Just wanted to make that clear.)
To play along for Haiku Friday, follow these steps:
1. Write your own haiku on your blog. You can do one or many, all following a theme or just random. What’s a haiku, you ask? Click here.
2. Sign the Mister Linky below or at Jennifer’s blog with your name and the link to your haiku post (the specific post URL, not your generic blog URL). We will delete your link if it doesn’t go to a haiku. If you need help with this, contact Jennifer or myself.
3. Pick up a Haiku Friday button to display on the post or in your sidebar by clicking the button above.
oh how frustrating for you! (and us too…)
mine is a little less stressful 😉
So sorry you are going through a hard time. Hang in there.
Ugh, so sorry to hear this. I hope you have an outlet somewhere….
(Guest post??)
I’m having a contest over at my place to win a copy of Haiku Mama, if that makes ya feel any better?? I’ve even got two consolation prizes; maybe I should send you one straight away!
Who needs more stress at this time of year? I hope you’re able to speak soon…
that would be horrible and frustrating. whenever something happens at my house, my husband immediately asks me, “wha…are you going to blog about it?” so, that stinks for you!
take care…love the haiku, though. i’m picking up my linky thing so i can do mine!
I signed the linky thing at Jennifers….but I didn’t do a haiku….so sorry!!
sounds like a frustrating and stressful situation….hang in there. Life is hectic enough without having to deal with drama.
Hope it all gets sorted out quickly and painlessly. I’m sorry you’re all in knots.
SORRY! I hate it when things are stressful and you can’t vent the way you need to.
Good luck. May whatever the situation is, turn out the way you wanted.
Whatever it is, may you find the peace and strength to weather the storm.
I’m sorry you’re going through such a rough time!
We don’t need to know specifics. We just need to know you need support. Here’s hoping everything works out for the good for you and yours.
yikes. hope the clouds start to part soon.
I’m so sorry you are trapped in the middle and unable to vent properly. I hope it all resolves.
I hate that you’re going through something tough. I’m sure it’s more frustrating to not have the ability to vent.
I am sending good thoughts your way. Maybe you could put all the things you want to say in an e-mail and send it to yourself — I sometimes do that. It usually makes me feel better.
Hang in there, sweetie. Please know we’re here for you always. And we can be patient! 🙂
(((HUGS))) HANG IN THERE!
Oh my gosh.
I hope whatever it is you are able to find peace with it and share soon, so you don’t explode!!!
Great haiku!
So sorry for your troubles. Hope it all goes well for you.
I am sorry you are having such a tough time. I guess this is why some people don’t share their blogs with people they know IRL. My MIL reads mine, so I guess I did share…
I’m soooooooooooooo curious – good luck with whatever it is!
Reminds me of the time my college insensitively published a fraternity secret in the alumni magazine. It was one of those things that we were angry about, but to have written to the editor or otherwise tried to cover up the secret would have just brought more attention to it! So, we stayed silent.
I have since had several situations like that come up where I want to vent, get advice, or whatever the case, but cannot blog about it because it puts something out there that isn’t mine to share.
Whatever your situation, know that you have virtual support even though you cannot talk about it here.
Know that we are all wishing you the very best outcome and will be here to listen when you can talk about it. Hope your holidays are as peaceful as they can be.
