I need a day of unwashed hair, unbrushed teeth and no bra.
Just one day.
I need 24 hours in my favorite jammies, hiding out in the comfort of my bed, drifting in and out of sleep while watching bad TV.
Just one day.
I don’t want to separate darks from whites, build Lego towers, visit the supermarket or wear a brave face.
Just one day.
I want to be snarky and rude and drown my sorrows in a big juicy cheese burger, French fries and chocolate shake, all of which I’ll surely regret.
Just one day.
I want to completely unplug, letting phone calls, e-mails and text messages go unanswered.
Just one day.
I need a day to be still, silent, curse the universe, wonder why me, feel sorry for myself and sob.
Just one day.
I want to regroup, sort through my feelings and find solace knowing that every cloud has a silver lining and that tomorrow is a brand new day.

Oh Tonya, I feel your pain, I just blogged about not being able to find the silver lining yesterday. And a day of nothing but crying when we need to? Sounds perfect. I’m sure to some that sounds weird but parenting and grieving and stress just don’t always go perfectly together. Sending you tons of love.
tom says

Despite the fact that every day, for me, is a bra-free day, and that I’d much rather a strawberry shake to chocolate, this day sounds just about perfect.
