1. Things aren't going well at all with mom today.

She is just a
limp noodle and wants to sleep all the time. I sure hope that
things get better soon.

2. Love isn't always a ray of sunshine. That's what the older

girls kept telling her when she said she had found the
perfect man. She had thought this was simply bitter talk on
their part since they had been unable to find true love like
hers. But now she had to face the fact that they may have
been right. Love may not always be a ray of sunshine. That
is unless they were referring to how the sun can burn.

3. It was just a burger. Why couldn't she understand that? She

knew he'd completely changed his life around her eating
habits, so why couldn't she give him a break this one time?
She wasn't even supposed to have found out. Yes, he had
promised her and yes, he had broken that promise, but still
in his mind, all it had been was just a burger.

4. There was a time when this wouldn't have bothered her.

The fact that it did actually bother her bothered her even
more. What had changed in her life that such a small thing
could annoy her so much for the entire day? She knew it
was ridiculous that she even took notice of it, yet she was
still obsessing over it as she tried to fall asleep.

5. Rhonda prided herself on always taking the path less

traveled. She'd decided to do this at an early age and had
continued to do so throughout her entire life. It was a point
of pride and she would explain to anyone who would listen
that doing so was something that she'd made great efforts
to always do. She'd never questioned this decision until her
five-year-old niece asked her, "So, is this why your life has
been so difficult?" and Rhonda didn't have an answer for
her.
