Left Wanting.
Posted by: missconstrued on: November 15, 2009
Nobody said this was going to be easy. Or pleasant. Or fun. Or anything less than heart-wrenching.
When is it too much? When I met TD, I was a HOT MESS. HOT. MESS. and I know that. He told me to come stay because he would take care of me, and he did. For a long, [...]
A Work of Heart # 2493
Posted by: missconstrued on: September 14, 2009
Back when I was getting out of my marriage to TSS, I only knew that I wanted one thing: to get out. Desperately, whole0heartedly, and with the only thing that felt I had left. My life. I was stripped of dignity, self-esteem, and sanity in 11 short months. I imagine that I had that wide [...]
Rock and a Hard Place
Posted by: missconstrued on: July 26, 2009
At the end of every summer with kid 1, I often find myself enveloped in negative feelings. I leave each experience with him wondering why I feel like I’ve just been in an emotional boxing match. Manipulated, bruised, angry. OVER. HIM. I can’t wait to get away.
2 0r 3 days after my departure, I begin [...]
OH. PIN. YON.

Coming home again is always an interesting feeling. Exciting, painful, embarrassing, irritating, heart-wrenching, relaxing. All in the space of about 5 minutes.
Last night, for example, I went to a 4th of July shindig at a relative’s house. It was mentioned about 5 times how 10 years ago I was a completely drunk bitch to my [...]
Still Chasing Sarah Palin
Posted by: missconstrued on: June 28, 2009
The Seattle Rock n’ Roll marathon was more than I ever could have hoped for and better than I *EVER*, in my island girl (smaller is better) mindset could have anticipated. I felt like a kid in a candy store from start to finish.
I awoke before my alarm, at 3:30, in nervous anticipation (there’s a [...]
A Post A Day…

…keeps the crazies at bay. Which could lead you to several different conclusions.
1.) That I have been cheating on myself and posting somewhere else.
2.) That I am batshit insane.
The truth is, it’s been a little bit of both. I put ONE post on fb. It was funny, and when I can think clearly, I’ll post [...]
13! is a Lucky Number
Posted by: missconstrued on: May 21, 2009
It boggles my mind that there are precisely 13 days left in this school year. My mind seems to have gotten used to being boggled, however (enter: cough medicine, and no running and exhaustion) and has said, ENOUGH! Retaliating by keeping me up from 11:30 – 2:30 a.m. Awesome! fretting about things I have absolutely [...]
Deja Vu.
Posted by: missconstrued on: April 29, 2009
I’m not exactly SURE what possessed me to do the Rustman two years in a row…
Insanity? I think I like the thought of a long term goal. That’s much more manageable for me than just plain crazy! I think you and I BOTH know what the truth is, though!
Going in, I had 3 [...]
Many the Miles
Posted by: missconstrued on: April 15, 2009
I just realized that I have this habit of self-deprecation (not to be confused with self defecation, which I also have a great fear of. Go figure.) which I find annoying from time to time. I don’t know why I can’t just take a compliment!
I’d rather make people laugh. And…rather than doing that at somebody [...]

It is Saturday, the kids have walked out the door.
I am WIPED out.
Suffice it to say that this is probably one of my most challenging years teaching. EVER.
GOD? Buddha? Goddess? Dalai Lama? Allah? Paris Hilton?
MY PLATE! SHE IS FULL!
Last night a friend shared with me that my mother told her she thought she was my demon. [...]
