Funk

So I've been in kinda a funk lately. I was telling my friend today, who clearly caught me in the middle of my funk, that I feel kinda blah. And this "blahness" has been most evident in my marriage and interactions with Ritchey. Our evenings are spent, what do you wanna do, I dunno, what do you wanna do, more t.v.? Which then end with us having a random conversation then both going off in opposite directions to do our own thing on our own computers in sep. rooms. Anyhoo, you don't want to hear about my marital woes, and really this isn't the place to talk about them, right babe?. And it is just a phase really, all of us go thru those blah weeks. But the scary thing is that sometimes these phases stretch on and on, and sadly can even end a marriage after so much junk gets built up. So I had a good talk with my friend today, and agreed that I would at least talk with Ritchey about this funk I'm in and my concerns, and was this all really in my head. A part of me didn't want to have one of these chit chats, or heart to hearts, cuz do they really solve anything in the end? Well, the answer is yes. Ritch didn't provide any earth shattering perspectives or answers. He admitted his general  fatigue with the energy level of our boys these days. And also told me that I was probably reading too much into the blah and really sometimes our own emotions are our worse enemy, more so than the actual circumstances. But most of all, we kept a short account tonight. I told him I am frustrated and in a funk and can't figure out how to get myself or us out of it, and we talked thru things. We didn't solve anything, but at least we took the time out to deal with it, get it out in the open, and have a nice discussion which then led to more nice discussions and family decisions. And so now I'm not listening to that aweful nagging voice inside my head that points out my faults, his faults and all the annoying things. So here is to not letting things, even the small things go on to bother you for too long, and for not numbing the situation or annoyance with t.v and computer! oh wait, i'm blogging
