Life At The Bear Den

• Wednesday, August 20, 2008 - Have You Ever Woke Up Angry?

Posted in Everyday Living

   Yesterday, I had a horrible day. It all started with waking up. Yes, as unusual as it sounds, I woke up angry and have no clue why. I wasn't angry at anyone in my house, and I wasn't angry with anyone about anything , really... I just woke in an angry mood. In all my life I can't remember this ever happening before. It is weird.

   So I was pretty much angry for the rest of the day. Everything everyone did ticked me off. I tried not to take my angrer out on anyone. When I saw I was i removed myself from the situation. Afterall, it wasn't their fault I was in a bad mood.

   The more I started thinking about this last night, the more I started to realize that I am just overwhlemed. I have had someone at my house everyday for the last 3 1/2 weeks. I have a strict schedule I try to keep my kids on and it has been thrown out the window. The couple doesn't leave till about 9 at night or 9:30 and by this time I am usually getting myself into bed. But it is all out the window.

   I try to be supportive. I try to lend my ear. I try to help where I can... but I need some space. I know this may sound horrible and I feel so guilty just writing this but... I'm tired of hearing about everyone elses problems... I'm tired of trying to solve everyone else's problems.

   I have my own problems. I have put my problems on hold just for everyone else, but I can't do it any longer. We are suppose to move in 10 months. I have to figure out the whole money situation and how I am going o get our belongings to Alaska. I need to start focusing on packing up the rest of my house and getting rid of junk. I need to focus on planning our school. I need to focus on my family and house... am I being selfish? I feel I am having a hard time here.

   I do believe this is why I woke up angry. Today I feel better. I just have a headache. I feel horrible saying all of that... I should be more Christian and do what Jesus would do. My problems aren't nearly as bad as everyone else's... I just wish I could step back and relax for a moment.

I have been there. I don't know if it's right or wrong, but what I do know is that we are supposed to care for our family first. If all of our energy is being drained away from them, it's probably not God's best. Your husband (I don't know your situation, so if I am off base, please forgive) my need to ask that they not come for a few days, or call first so that you can decide if you are available to counsel. Hang in there...it's a tough spot to be in.

I understand. I have been there too! Sit down, take a few moments to yourself, and PRAY!!!! When I wake up with a bad attitude whether it be from a dream I had, stress in my life, or just waking up on the wrong side of the bed, I pray about it, and ask God to take this away!!!

God's Blessings,
