Cards Anyone??

I've come to realize that my life right now is like a deck of cards. Remember when you were a niave kid and some other kid would say, "hey, you want to play 52-card pick-up"... like an idiot you say "Sure"? Then in a grin and a flash the cards would be flying through the air to land in a scattered mess on the floor. Then the laughing mate would say, "there, now pick them up". Wasn't much fun way back then and it sure as hell isn't much fun now. This time I'm not playing with one deck... but with 6 decks.. and each of those decks have smaller decks attached - AND I wasn't given the option to play the damn game.

Six decks (1) Mom & Dad's deaths (2) R2's upcoming deployment, (3) Kids & Family, (4) Work, (5) FRG, and (6) Life in general. All of the intricate cards are scattered in a huge blurr on the floor and I'm not sure which one to pick up first. They are all seperate decks but the cards can fit in most any one of them.

For those of you who know me, you know that most of the time I am able to play several hands at a time! I would normally have the cards back on the right deck and prepared for the next shuffle. This feeling of 'scatteredness' is out of character for me (at least I think so). I can't see the big picture anymore - I can't anticipate the desired end result, like most times I can. I'm stuck in this game of 52-card pickup.

I'd rather play Euchre!
