• On Being Considered Difficult…or…I Am Completely Insane, The Life and Times of a Modern Idiot

  

  Well, it doesn’t help that one of my seventeen kids (okay, four) was “removed” from summer camp today for continually breaking rules.  I’m sure he will enjoy sitting quietly in an office with me seven hours a day instead of swimming, playing and…breaking rules with reckless abandon.  It also doesn’t help that I am multi-tasking on a uni-tasking salary.  I keep meaning to drink more, to relax, but can’t seem to fit it into my schedule.  What a lousy drunk.  Oh, and I’ve discovered GarageBand, so my spare time is now spent like a nineteen year old single boy locked in his room with a guitar and delusions of grandeur (note to the casual stranger:  my days of actual grandeur are formally behind me, and were quite nice at the time).  Last Thursday I exhaled after twenty three days of short sharp inhales.  Stress management is apparently not my forte. 

  So perhaps I have been on edge.  Perhaps my wit is more pointed and barbs more homicidal than jovial.  And yes, I am demanding when I can pinpoint what exactly it is I need, want, desire or must have.  This is only a slight variance, in some eyes, on my usual state of Being Difficult.   I, Madame Luke, am often (as I’ve said here before) A Bit Much.  This summer I am Way More Than Bargained For.  I’m sorry.  Okay, no I’m not.  Well, yes, I am.  See?  There I go again, not even able to decide if I hold any true remorse for my natural condition of…not being able to decide if I hold any true remorse for my natural condition.  I have asked my head shrinker many times if I’m nutty or maybe just a bitch.  Is it a bad sign if your shrink thinks your terribly clever and entertaining?

  I vow this rarely visited blog will not degenerate into rantings and blatherings on the state of my llife. 

  A quote from my genius partner after a talking head on the tv announced someone had “had the courage to speak their mind”:

  “It only takes courage to speak your mind if you’re stupid.”
