So, do you ever feel like walking out of your life? I do all the time. I love my family to pieces and give so much of myself that, lately, there is nothing left for me. Not even scraps. I wonder what it would be like to just go where no one knows me. Of course, I would never do that. The kids, ya know? I could never leave them. Maybe I will just blame everything on PMS.
When I heard this song I just burst into tears. It suits my mood perfectly. This guy’s singing is amazing. And, the lyrics? Perfect.
Oooh I like that song, too.
PMS is really cranky. I wish we had more control over those side effects.
Cool. I’m glad you stopped by my blog today–it gave me an excuse to stop by here and hear this song. A piano intro like that is guaranteed to suck me in, and you’re right–the lyrics are great. I promptly put the CD in my YourMusic queue.
{{{{hugs}}}} I think escaping is probably the #1 mom fantasy. Not that we would, or even that we’d seriously want to, but it is a 24/7 job that, ironically, is more demanding the more you love your kids. I often joke that I’m going to change my name–to something that’s not “mom.” And yeah, PMS makes those feelings more acute. Not that I’d ever admit that to my husband.
What a coincidence… I just had this thought today. I love my life but sometimes family, pms and whatever else all rolls into one and you just want to ask for a break. Or a trip to cancun and some margaritas on the side
Sending you hugs and hope your day gets better. Mine has improved after I listened to some pick me up songs on the iPod.
while I dont love the song, probably because I think I cant be getting into all these new groups that are gone in an instant, you are still showing off how truly hip and cool you are.
first - I have to show this vid to one of my younglings as I like it myself
second - I must think at least once a week about the desire to run away and start over … though usually I want to take them all with me and just go where we can all begin anew

I’ve heard that song once before it is nice. I think I like it a wee bit more since it is entitled Boston, my hometown.
Thank you for sharing the video which I hadn’t seen.
Be well and enjoy the day.
The name of the song is Boston? I was looking for some Boston sites. Or maybe the band is named Boston, but that’s been done before. Nice voice!
Maybe you should stop giving so much…and let them give some to you?
Love the song - and hang in there. Your time is coming, sweetie. I can feel it.
Love you lots.
Nancy… have you read Anne Tyler’s “Ladder of Years”? It’s the story of a Baltimore housewife who does exactly that: walks away from her life one summer in the middle of a family beach vacation. It’s an irresistable book - I reread it at the beginning of each summer.
Anyway, I can relate to your mood. I tell myself that dissatisfaction just means I’m growing. Some days I even believe it. Hugs to you, pal.
