Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

At night, when the house finally became quiet, my body seemed louder.My legs felt heavy.My back hurt.Some days I had headaches.The tiredness was becoming strange.Sometimes I struggled to concentrate.I could open my phone to do something and forget what I had opened it for.Walk into a room and forget why I was there.Lose a word halfway through a sentence."I'm just tired," I told myself.What other explanation did I need?I cleaned for hours.I drove everywhere.I didn't sleep enough.I worried constantly.Of course I was tired.So instead of asking my body what it was trying to tell me, I asked myself a different question: How many jobs do I have tomorrow?Then I checked my diary.One house.Another.Maybe paperwork afterwards.Children.Shopping.Home.Repeat.Sometimes I wondered what would happen if I simply stopped.Not forever.Just for a week.No cleaning.No paperwork.No helping anybody.No running.The thought almost frightened me.Who would I be?What would I do?Would I feel peaceful?Or would I finally hear everything inside me that I had been drowning out with work?So I didn't stop.The next morning, the alarm rang.I got dressed.I checked on the children.I picked up my keys.And I left.Another day.Another house.Another problem waiting to be solved.I thought I was holding my family together.I thought I was protecting everyone.I thought being constantly needed meant I was doing something right.I didn't understand yet that a person can spend so long holding everybody else together...that nobody notices when she begins falling apart..
