Yes, I have people in my head
(don't tell the men in white coats, okay?). I have frequent conversations with them. I tell myself it is more like me having a conversation with myself, making decisions and forgetting to let the rest of the world in on them.
Yes, we'll go with that. Unfortunately, it is a hazard of the combination of my medications, illnesses and
MOTHERHOOD.
The losing of my mind, that is. It annoys my husband because I tell my 'head people' things, but forget to let him and the kids in on our decisions. He tells me I'm doing this more and more often.
Sometimes it can be a little scary.
This morning, for example, he was drinking the orange juice I had reserved for Easter Sunday breakfast. I gave him my Wife Look and said, "That's for Sunday morning." Frustrated, he announced, "You had another one of those conversations, didn't you?! Could you let the rest of us in on it when you and your people make these decisions, please?!"
Yes, dear.
Unfortunately, this won't be the last time it happens. And unfortunately, it will probably get worse and it will probably not get better! Fortunately, I do have a great husband who helps me keep my sense of humor in all of this. And fortunately, I have an understanding husband who is not keeping count of all the times I talk to the people in my head and lose my mind!
Right, dear?
I don't think you are the only one with these conversations, my friend! I have them all the time! :) Your insight continues to inspire me. I love this post. Again. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteYou're not alone. Jamie and I call the people in our heads "Our Committees".

Committees... I like it!!! Shawn wants to know how many people we have to have in our heads to constitute a committee? :)
ReplyDeleteI'm glad I'm inspiring people!
I'm not sure. There are quite a few "people" in my committee. We watch United States of Tara, about a woman with D.I.D. It hit me while reading your post that my committee members are like multiple personalities, I just am able to speak for the group instead of the members of the committee coming out to speak for themselves, lol, did that make sense?
