Surprised myself!
Tonight as I lay in bed with my girl reading her stories while she drank her milk I reflected on the last few weeks and the fact that I was cuddling my girl, happy and content not exhausted and fed up.
In the past 3+ weeks my husband has worked til the wee hours of the morning every. single. day. Weekends included we have had dinner together a grand total of 4 times. That’s also how many times he has been home before midnight. This also means that in the past 3+ weeks I’ve only had a total of 4 part-days away from looking after LP and all of those days have been either work or study related.
This is not a poor me post. It’s a “Hey, I’ve actually copied OK with this” post.
It definitely helped that Miss Awesome stayed with us for 4 days last week and was a great company, not to mention help!
It also helped that tonight I took LP out for pizza [yep, pizza. Go on, judge me :)]
It also helps that we are going to VIETNAM in 2 more sleeps!
BUT, the point is. I’m ok. We’re ok.
If it were Oct 2008, I don’t think that would be the case. I think I would be in the fetal position somewhere in a state of high anxiety, exhaustion and depression. I wouldn’t have been able to cope and this would have compounded an already difficult situation. BUT, in Oct 20009, things are good.
It was an exciting and encouraging revelation!
The end

Pizza is MADE for months like the ones that you've had. And other times too ;)
Praying that you have a fantastic time away- that's its refreshing and fun and that HH has plenty of time to recover.

I really enjoy your blog. I am excited for your vacation, I know it is well-deserved by you both.
Don't you just love it when you overcome something? It is so refreshing! Congrats on that =)
Have a nice evening…
Thanks girls, your comments are like chocolate to me today – minus any guilty aftertaste of course!!
