from the confessional
‘I’m So Sick And Tired Of Doing Everything’ ([link removed])

Welcome back to a nice, relaxing weekday, after the chaos and carnage of a three-day weekend. And you’ll very likely relate to today’s roundup from the Scary Mommy Confessional, which is about the sheer work of parenthood. “Between work, school, activities, endless sickness, general logistics, sleep schedules, and seemingly 8,000 meals and snacks a day, sometimes it just feels like there’s no way it’s all gonna get done,” writes Emma Coburn in her introduction and whew, that’s real.

For instance, maybe this sounds familiar: “I am so exhausted making all the decisions and keeping everything on track!” Or perhaps you relate to this reader: “Husband wants a date night, I want a night to myself to eat a ton of ice cream.” That does sound pretty nice, gotta admit. As always, if you’ve got something to share, the link is here ([link removed]) . And if you want to browse past Confessions, head here ([link removed]) .

I Married My Best Friend — Then I Divorced Him ([link removed])

“We began dating in our mid-20s, after a drunken kiss at a wedding. We fell in love and everything moved quickly after that, like my person had been staring me in the face all along,” recalls an anonymous writer in a new piece today. “But 11 years after our wedding, our marriage was no longer giving either of us what we needed or wanted. I had to ask the man who had been my best friend since I was 15-years-old for a divorce.” Give it a read.
