Opinions about everything and anything that is going on in my world
Doesn't everyone want someone to listen to what they have to say?

Who doesn't want to feel like what they have to say is important to someone? I am the mother of four young children and I have days where I am just screaming for conversations that don't involve me talking to or about children. Every once in a while I would like someone to ask me what I think of the situation in Iraq or whether or not I agree with the latest tax policy that our government has come up with to win votes. I don't want to be asked my opinion on the best stuff for headlice. Every once in a while I would like to be thought of as more than just their mum or his wife. I feel like I am losing all my social skills as it has been that long since I could find a babysitter to watch four children. And most of all I am sick and tired of feeling like I am stuck in a timewarp while the rest of the world has passed me by. Although deep down I know I am joined by about 20million other mothers around the world who are feeling the same way as me, I still feel more alone and cut off from the rest of the world than I ever have before. And as much as I love my kids and love them I do, I have days where I am desperate to be alone with my loneliness. But then I have days where life is perfect. It is just every once in awhile I want to be heard by someone who understands what I am trying to say.

Can't say that I can relate with the having kids thing (I'm a teen), but I can definately relate with wanting to be alone in my lonliness. I'm glad you joined us here! I enjoy your writing.

Oh, and I understand what you're trying to say.
