I don't feel like I live a ridiculous life. I DO feel like much of my time is spent on ridiculous things and ridiculous conversations. I am sure a lot of this has to do with me being in sales and having school age children.
When I have a conversation I look at the people I am talking to and try to see if they share this feeling of ridiculousness. 99% of the time I can tell they in fact do not think things are ridiculous.
I think I know why. I think that people that have violence in their past - especially multiple instances of violence with multiple people or situations - ultimately come two a fork in the road. They have the choice to either be an eternal victim or eventually learn to say "damn that sucked" and adapt.
I am very adaptive...pliable you could say. I think to be this way I have had to forgo the art of bullshit. I have noticed that as time goes on I have almost a hostility to people that use too many adjectives. They often seem to be a way to delay or avoid a point. For instance I wouldn't walk to smell the lavender fields and feel the soft spring breeze against my face. I would walk to get to the damn store. (I still like "damn" alot.)
It makes me sad at times that I've lost some of these traits. But most days I am ok with it.

Like every other mom I strive to strike a balance between work, raising healthy and happy kids, and maintaining some sense of self. Between fitting in an occassional shower and being a cook to order chef at home, I spend my days in the Austin tech industry.
