And It Was This Big!
by Kym on May 18, 2007
So if you read my pathetic whining post last night, you’ll see that I went on a major fishing expedition. I hunted me down some love, affection, prayers, and some sweet pats on the head as well.
The next time Neil expresses confusion or bogglement over my dedication to the blogging side of my life, I’m going to pull up last night’s post and corresponding comments for him to peruse.
Because then, he might get it.
Whenever I’m coming out of one of these funks, I get really exasperated with myself. It’s such a predictable, familiar pattern, and yet I never seem to learn.
Kim gets sad -> Kim withdraws from world -> Kim gets sadder because she feels like nobody loves her (poor Kim!) -> Kim comes out of funk -> Kim realizes that she hasn’t answered e-mails or phone calls for ages -> Kim has an Ah-Ha! momment -> Kim feels silly because “You Get What You Give” and “You Reap What You Sow”
And she’s not a complete moron, so she really ought to know that.
Kim gives a wry smile, resolves to learn from this experience so she won’t have to go through it again, knowing all the while that she probably will several dozen times more.
Kim decides to stop writing because talking about herself in the third person is starting to creep her out a bit.

“Bogglement” makes me think of blogglement. I have no idea what it might mean.

Hahaha. You’re great. And now that you’ve written it down, maybe you (and us too–since it’s pretty universal!) will remember it. Glad you’re feeling better.

Keep writing, it is good for your soul.
And just so you know, we are all learning these same lessons over and over and over again. I hit these nobody loves me lows, too.
Blogglement – I like that. Kind of like our blog settlement, out little blog community. You and I “live” in the same blogglement :) !!

My hubby doesn’t get it, either, even though it’s obvious to me. Blogging = support group. Actually, I saw a little cartoon that reminded me of this…waitaminute…

Here it is.
True, no?
And it’s crazy how nice people are–people that you have never met before tell you how wonderful you are, how they’re going through the same stuff as you, and send you these cool packages in the mail!

You are too funny. I’m glad you are doing fine. And I’m sorry I haven’t rung the phone off the hook in your house this week. But I will; I promise. My beloved would like to see me make a little more progress in the unpacking department first though. And just so you know, even though I don’t comment every day, I do read every post you write, and always enjoy them thoroughly. Much love and oodles of hugs…..

I now resolve to stop reading your posts only in feed…can’t comment in feed. I will do my part to help keep Kim from feeling sad because Kim rocks!

I hope you’re having a much happier day today. I think we all go through cycles like that to varying degrees. I felt like I was on top of the world…until I had a back-breaking weekend of yardwork and diarrhea in diapers… :-)

Chick – That’s a big one alright! =)
RaJ – It’s in reference to the game “Boggle”, I believe.
Kathleen – I actually plan to start a whole new notebook for that.
NCS – Too true! And thanks for the kitties!
Brillig – Definitely a print out and hang on my fridge post. Thanks. =)
Lucy – Hee hee…you’re too cute!
Wynne – Oh, I love that!
Inkling – Ditto. =)
Kate – Thanks babe!
Kathleen – Will come look soon, promise!
Farm Wife – And I’ll do the same!
M – There’s a reason we live as long as we do, isn’t there?
Carrot – You know, I kind of guessed that. I think it’s part of why I feel this bizarre totally non-creepy non-stalkerish connection to you. =)
Amber – Hey! Diarrhea was one component of my funk as well. Cue the twilight zone music, people!
Doin’ much better gals…thanks for all the love and support. My in-laws are leaving shortly so I’ll soon be working at getting caught up with you all.

i think we all go through this. you are COMPLETELY normal. we all have to be reminded of the ‘you reap what you sow idea’ and to serve or love or call someone else to get our minds off of ourselves. it’s good to know that someone else goes through the same thing.

Were we separated at birth? You sound so much like me. That cycle. It’s all too familiar. EEK!
Since I’m reading oldest to newest, and I have yet to read about whether or not you’re feeling better about things, I will say it now: I hope you’re having better days these days. :)
