Survival

This past month has been one of survival.
Breathe in, breath out
Try everything “under the sun” to get sleep at night
Get up, shower, go to work
work hard
stay at work for 10, 12, 16 hrs and the pile never goes away, and the list keeps growing longer and no one wants to join in on this “fun”
do everyone’s job
listen while others complain – a lot
go home
and the battle to survive continues on in a circle.

and sometimes the battle stops for brief seconds.
A friend bringing you lunch cause they know you have no time to leave work
A text that says Hi – hope your day is going good
Meeting for cupcakes, salads, walmart, drives
A double wide stroller with two cute boys whose smiles make you forget all of the stress
V.T.’s dropping off eats and treats on “H” day
Phone calls from the east that say “you’re gonna be ok kid”
Stopping for drinks at Sonic while on a “work errand”

I think I am at the end of this battle called August.... 
I think the circle has stopped.....
I think I can take two breaths in and row....
Breath in, Breath out, Breath in, Breath out

yawn!
