Ten Things I Have Done That Perhaps You Have Not

Okay, I'm a little slow on this, but here's my take on the ( Ten Things Meme. )

(no subject)

I'm losing a battle I didn't even know I was fighting.

My sense of self is being absorbed slowly by "mother" and "housewife". For reasons that I couldn't explain if I tried, the German word "hausfrau" seems to combine the two ideas in my head. I look surprisingly like a hausfrau these days (minus the badly fitting print dress, although I'm sure I could find one or two if I tried) and I'm starting to feel that that's my only role in life.

I don't know how to save myself. I don't even know if it's worth the effort to even try.

Gah. I hate self-pity, but I really don't know what to do.
