Yell it out!!!!

There is something to be said for a good scream.  Walk to the top of a mountain or into the woods and just let out a big yell. It's therapeutic. It's a release. My husband and I got into it this morning, afterwards he said, "It felt good to yell." I tend to avoid conflict. I didn't always, its an improvement based on my desire to not scar my children. I don't want them to hear, see, or feel the tension of big arguments. So of course, my husband and I NEVER argue in front of them. HA! Yeah Right! A true statement would be, I do my very best to not call him an asshole in front of them. For the most part, I mastered control over my temper to that extent. He returns the sentiment. No name calling. I gave some thought to his comment "that felt good". I believe he may be right. (Don't tell him I said that). Sometimes tension and stress can build like a big zit or a volcano. Its better to let off steam....get some of the aggression out, rather that wait for a huge explosion. We are stressed. The list of things that need to be taken care of these days is endless. Money is tight. The kids are bored, all we do is pack and clean. Bored kids means lots of whining....lots of bickering...lots of crying. That wonderful soundtrack mixed with cleaning, sweating, and packing can make for some real thick tension. We definitely made a dent in the tension this morning. My husband and I fight pretty fairly...letting each other yell.  We partially listen to each other. I do get so angry I want to punch him in the face, but I don't. I know he wouldn't mind beyatch slapping me but he doesn't. I think it was good for us to yell at each other a bit. It did feel good. I feel better. This moving thing is freaking stressful. Our entire argument this morning was whether to sell or just get rid of some of our crap.. Earth shattering stuff...right? The reality is that its all a bit overwhelming, we just needed a good yell.
