I got a wake up call I didn't think I needed and sure the hell didn't want. But when there are lights flashing in your rear view mirror and the officer asks to see your license, you get the idea you've been living life too fast. At least I have. I've forgotten to take my own advice.
I've been overwhelmed and distracted for several months now. Truthfully, I'm not sure how I've been functioning all this time. I've been trying to cram too much in my days. I fall asleep on the couch at night, drooling and surrounded by a pile of laundry I'd been folding. The fucking socks are are still all over the place. It isn't pretty folks.
My relationships have been put on auto-pilot. I felt like a complete ass when I had to ask hubby his favorite sexual position. I wouldn't have guessed it in a million years. I've slept with this man for 22 years. Sad, I know. Others I've kept at a distance. It just seems easier that way. I don't have time to spend hours on the phone catching up with family and friends. I'm lucky to answer emails within the week.
Too make matters worse, the only thing I really have to show for all this running and rushing is a $113.00 ticket. My house isn't any cleaner, my checkbook isn't any larger, and I'm not any happier. I'm a stressed out mess that hasn't been able to concentrate on any one idea longer than 15 minutes. I can't even focus on one fantasy long enough to get off. It's become very clear I need some down time.
It's time to slow down life and remember the important things.

This sounds JUST.LIKE.ME!
There is nothing like sirens blaring to tell you that your moving too fast. Hope life slows down for you soon.

You too! I have come to the realization several times (and stopped to take note) that life for me is moving at breakneck speed, yet I feel powerless to stop it. One of these days I'll slow down, I just hope it's not because I have been forced to by illness or insanity!
