I worry. Yeah, I'm a worrier.

I seem to have a lot of friends having a hard time right now. Job stress, jobs lost or changing, kids not doing well, IEP struggles, lots of shit going on. It's funny because I always tell people that I've been thinking about whatever their situation is, and then they feel bad that not only do they have this shit to deal with, they've made me worry on top of everything. (Note: you don't "make" me worry, you just talk about yourself and then I take it from there; you're not responsible for my feelings.) So, here's a heads up to you guys with whom I've recently had the worry discussion, and YOU know who you are: I'm going to worry about you, so just accept that. Learn to be more like my kids, maybe, and try to feel more entitled to it. It's going to happen whether you like it or not so you might as well take advantage of it!

Coming up next: School is starting in 2 weeks and I'M FREAKING OUT AGAIN!
