I had one of those

I had one of those uniquely female moments late last night. Do I go with that highly emotional, irrational voice inside; or do I go with what I have always perceived as reality? This is a common dilemma for women, only the best of us are able to conduct our lives not allowing our emotions to rule. The closest comparison I can think of for men is the struggle to remain monogamous, I know that it's not instinctual.

My life is a confusing one; my home is 20% female (me) and all of our extracurricular activities are masculine. I am more comfortable in a group of men talking about the latest episode of 'Overhaulin' (Chip Foose-your the man) than I am in a group of women doing that weird chatter thing they do. I have many friends I have grown away from over the years because they had daughters and have become too soft for my taste.

This struggle, I know, will be there for the rest of my life; but it is my reality. I try and use my knowledge of the female psyche to help my sons; I tell them to run, just run, because I've been inside my head and it's a scary place. Where am I going with this? I don't know, this is exactly what I'm talking about! I have to believe that God makes women the way he does for a reason, but I'm exhausted. I hope one day I will reach 'Female Nirvana' and the battle will cease, but as I like to say, I'm a realist, so I know better.
