Prozac and Soul Mates

You know when you forget to take your Prozac and then your day sucks but you're not sure if it really sucks or if you're just 20mg short of a blissed out afternoon? Oh, just me? Okay... moving on...

Okay, so like 2 months ago, like wayyyyyy back in September, Mr. Carter and I were in El 4Runner holding hands, listening to music and kibitzing about this and that while our lovely littles held tight in the back seat on our way towards our family camping trip destination, when out of nowhere I asked, “Daddy, (yes, I call him Daddy, I know it's disgusting, just deal with it okay), are we soul mates?” To which Mr. Carter replied and VERY quickly I might add, “Oh hellzzzzzz no! Nope. Not even close Baby.”

I know!!! Can you believe that!!!! At first I was totalllly annoyed, but then I heard him out. You see, Mr. Carter made some serious sense that day, (it happens every third blue moon, but when it does happen, its moving, believe you me), when he simply said: “Love, we're not soul mates, but we are a GREAT couple. We work well together. We're great parents, we laugh a lot, we're totally in love and I still think you're sexy after 11 years.” (It's been 9 years, but why correct him at this point right?)

And so it allll makes perfect sense people. Mr Carter and I, La Maverick M.I.L.F. Numero Uno, are sooooo not soul mates and it's sooo okay. I mean we are just way to different ever think we could be all ethereally connected you know. So what if this is a one time around the merry-go-round sort of romance; it's all good in the hood.

So the next time you're sitting with your partner feeling completely disturbed and claustrophobic, filled with anxiety because you're stuck with this person for the rest of your life, just remember this: Some of the best couples are just that, just good couples, nothing more, nothing less, and thinking that you need to be all connected though out the ages of space time is just stupid and unrealistic. I mean who really even wants to see that person over and over and over again. The whole soul mate concept is sooo overrated, is it not?

Anyway, like I was saying, the next time you feel yourself disenchanted with what is, and who you ended up breeding with in this lifetime, take a moment for yourself. Have a coffee and a Dexatrim and confirm whether or not you have taken that much needed Prozac to take the edge off. Odds are your life is perfect, just the way it is.
