survival mom

Surviving isn't just about my children. It's having my personal identity survive being a mother.

There is a heat index warning today. I hope we make it to the beach. I can almost hear the sigh as the water goes across the sand. Even a hammock at a lake sounds wonderful. Last time we went to a lake, the sun had started to go down, and I looked from my spot on the rocks under the bridge to the other side. I saw a great blue heron fishing, bathed in evening sunlight, so very close to my favorite part of the day. The gloaming. The bridge became a portal to a different world. The moment felt magical.

I remember making this once with kiddo during a sick day they had. It turned out to be one of the best days ever. I want to make them again.

Yet another thing that hypnotized me. It's starting to be funny. 🤣

Seems like everybody's got a price

I wonder how they sleep at night

When the sale comes first and the truth comes second

Just stop for a minute and smile

Why is everybody so serious?

Acting so damn mysterious

Got shades on your eyes and your heels so high

That you can't even have a good time

Everybody look to their left

Everybody look to their right

Can you feel that? Yeah

We're paying with love tonight

It's not about the money, money, money

We don't need your money, money, money

We just wanna make the world dance

Forget about the price tag

Ain't about the, uh, cha-ching, cha-ching

Ain't about the, yeah, ba-bling, ba-bling

Wanna make the world dance

Forget about the price tag

We need to take it back in time

When music made us all unite

And it wasn't low blows and video hos

Am I the only one getting tired?

Why is everybody so obsessed?

Money can't buy us happiness

Can we all slow down and enjoy right now?

Guarantee we'll be feeling alright

Everybody look to their left (to their left)

Everybody look to their right (to their right)

Can you feel that? Yeah

We're paying with love tonight

It's not about the money, money, money

We don't need your money, money, money

We just wanna make the world dance

Forget about the price tag

Ain't about the, uh, cha-ching, cha-ching

Ain't about the, yeah, ba-bling, ba-bling

Wanna make the world dance

Forget about the price tag (yeah, yeah)

Well, keep the price tag (yeah) and take the cash back (back)

Just give me six strings (six strings) and a half stack (half stack)

And you can, can keep the cars, leave me the garage

And all I, yes, all I need are keys and guitars

And guess what? In 30 seconds, I'm leaving to Mars

Yeah, we leaping across these undefeatable odds

It's like this, man, you can't put a price on a life

We do this for the love, so we fight and sacrifice every night

So we ain't gon' stumble and fall, never (nah)

Waiting to see this in the sign of defeat, uh-uh

So we gon' keep everyone moving their feet

So bring back the beat and then everyone sing

It's not about the money, money, money

We don't need your money, money, money

We just wanna make the world dance

Forget about the price tag

Ain't about the, uh, cha-ching, cha-ching

Ain't about the, yeah, ba-bling, ba-bling

Wanna make the world dance

Forget about the price tag (hey, hey)

It's not about the money, money, money (we don't need it)

We don't need your money, money, money (no I don't, we don't need it)

We just wanna make the world dance (dance)

Forget about the price tag (dance your ass off, ah-ah)

Ain't about the, uh, cha-ching, cha-ching

Ain't about the, yeah, ba-bling, ba-bling (it ain't about)

Wanna make the world dance (yeah, yeah)

Forget about the price tag (forget about the price tag)

Yeah, yeah, oh-oh

Forget about the price tag

I got tired of kiddo (I say "kiddo" because I don't want to use a name or specific gender.) playing aimless PC games. We sat down this morning and found an ancient Persian themed 10+ hidden object game. We watch Prince of Persian a lot. I hope this works.

I never saw myself as a Trad Wife. But now that I am researching how to exit my relationship i am seeing how I slowly got backed into a corner where that was the only way to survive. I don't even think my spouse even understands how it happened. But now this lifestyle is habit, and he doesn't like change, specifically sudden change, and neither do I. I want change now. Sudden change. I can't stay this way. I am physically sick with emotions every day, I am scared I will see another side of him when he realizes this isn't all talk. Side note. Shaming Trad Wives and osctasizing them doesn't help. It just perpetuates the situation. You're adding on to the isolation and shame they don't want to recognize. You're encouraging the belief that being alone is better than dealing with a negative friendship. I don't dare ask for help because it comes with a price I don't want to pay. Once again, I have to be strong all by myself.
