Keeping the Crazy Contained

One of my favorite Jennifers (you know we have a collection, right? oh how I adore my jennifers!) recently sent me yet another exceptional e-mail after my blog, "Shocking", here is what she said.

I always marvel that the shouting in my head doesn't fall out my mouth.  Do you?  When someone asks
you how you are and you answer, "Fine," are you sort of surprised that the
shouting didn't fall out.  I am.  I sometimes stand there silent thinking, "Did
I say fine?  That's not what I said in my head."

And, sometimes when the shouting falls out of my mouth, I think, "Did I say that out loud? How did I let that escape?"

As you may or may not know, I call that keeping the crazy contained in this package (my body).

I keep wondering when I will get to the point where everything but everything does not make me feel weary and sad and missing-y.  I am hopeful that will be soon.  Please.
