So in the beginning it was said the Union did not have the "gonads" to go out on strike. Last night the kids and I were surfing through YouTube.com looking at a bunch of videos of different songs we like and I stumbled across this one. Not one you would hear on mainstream radio because of the one word in the title but it is oh so true and made me smile a little bit.

Dear TS1
Making Meatloaf
I thought I would write you a little for those who are keeping up with your blog.
Today I am making meatloaf. I will have to admit I have tried it once but was not very good at it! Hopefully today will be better....
Today has been very rough for me! Its one of those days when you wonder if anyone is upstairs listening when you pray. Cried myself to sleep last night and have cried all day. I am feeling the snowball effect of life.
So for those who feel alone trust me your not! It is the holiday season and we should all be merry, the truth is...
This strike has taken its toll not only on the workers but its family's as well. Today like everyday either hitting the streets or the internet I start my day off hunting for a job. I keep praying. I used to get excited and stay positive because I knew that "today would be the day I got on". Now I don't even get my hopes up anymore I just look. Why set yourself up for disappointment?
My relationship has taken it's toll. Along with many others I am sure! Now my partner/spouse/significant other makes me feel like I am not good enough because the stress has more than tore them down. LIKE I DON'T BEAT MYSELF UP ENOUGH. It makes you start to question could they not have a better life without you to bring them down?
Christmas how can we forget Christmas? The tree is up and all the lights are out in the yard and from the outside looking in it all looks merry. Only if the world really knew what went on behind closed doors.... No Christmas this year but for me that is OK, right now I am really feeling like I don't deserve anything from Santa anyway because I really have let my family down.
I know that there a lot of people on that picket line going through what I am and not just us woman! And I just wanted to take a moment to let you know that your not alone...
Hopefully my meatloaf will turn out good today!
Anon-
Thank you so much for sharing! I too have my days but I try so hard to keep them hidden. Many days I fail miserably. Well most days I fail miserably.
I live with the fear that if I show the toll this has taken on me that my family will see me as weak. That those of you who read this will see me as weak. But I am only human and it is comforting to know there are others out there like me.
You have inspired me and for that I am truly grateful. I am not alone in this fight and I must remember that. It is ok to let my defenses down. My next installment will be up tonight and I hope it gives yourself and the spouses out there a little insight into what we as the "other halves" are experiencing.
You guys, showing a little "weakness" is not going to make people think less of you. It makes you human. This strike is taking a toll on all of us even the kids. We need to remember it is okay to get mad and to cry if we need to, who says the men in our lives wouldn't just love that. They don't because we don't. Maybe we should all get together and have a good cry. Its tough. . . damn tough. Sometimes we just have to be human and cry or scream or throw something.
