I can join you on this one, too. I've been thinking lately about the roles I hold in life, and how they've had a good jolt in the past few months--especially the hard-worker/successful employee role, and the daughter role has expanded significantly, and all the rest--sister, mother, wife (ex-wife, I guess), dog mom, friend, babbler, all of it.
And, none of it feels like it's going well, even though I may not be giving credit for things I do accomplish.
Oh well--I guess this is my rambling role.

My ex-boyfriend used to call me PB, both for Princess Buttercup and for Phenomenally Beautiful. I am Princess Buttercup, because only a true princess could possibly be as rotten as I am and still live -- one of my loyal subjects would have assassinated me by now otherwise. He said I was the other PB, but I don't know. Maybe it was just his eyes?
