My 'perfect' life
I have to laugh at myself sometimes. Well most of the time really. But only after the fact. My life is really good so when I get in funks it bothers me because I know that life is really not that hard and I should not be down. However we all have those times and these past few weeks have been mine. I just haven't' felt like doing anything, including be a mom. When Mike was gone last week, seriously I did not lift a finger to clean. Dishes, crumbs, laundry, it all piled up. I didn't feel bad at all about it. I re-read the Twilight series in 3 days and ignored my child other then to feed her a bit. I just want to get away. Mike and I have a free weekend trip that I am dying to go on to change scenery, mix things up and talk with my husband about things other then work and Izzy. To have a real date like feeling again. I'm sort of snapping out of it like we all do at sometime. I have been having fun cooking again and yes I have loaded and unloaded the dishwasher 4 times in the last 2 days. I even did 2 loads of laundry in the last three days. So life isn't that hard, but it's even better when you get a few minutes to yourself and get a haircut and eyebrow wax with out having to 'parent'. *sigh* It's my 'perfect' life.

I have those weeks as well. I hate those weeks. I am just getting out of one. I actually did laundry yesterday. Hopefully you and Mike can get away or at least go on a date. We would love to have Izzy over when you guys go out. Kennedy would love it and it would be good for Kennedy to share her toys. So, really take me up on it!
Whether stay-at-home mom or astrophysicist, you'll always have these times. They're lame, but when you pop out of them, you find yourself right back on track. I'm trying to avoid one now because of all the stress from school. But when I finally stop, it's going to be to re-read all my Jane Austin, eat coconut milk ice-cream (don't laugh, it's amazing, especially the choc chip cookie dough, which has been the only way to get through the last two weeks for me) and watch the 1991 BBC Pride and Prejudice with Colin Firth (6 hour movie) about sixteen times. Oh yeah.
Wow. I feel better about myself. At least I'm not the only one who has done that. And I just re-read Twilight as well. Such a wonderful thing to do. I'm actually ignoring my screaming son right now. He's played this game all week of crying and not wanting to go to bed (which is actually very unusual for him, he's always asks to go "night, night") so yes it's 10 p.m. and he's still awake SCREAMING...Anyway... thanks for being so honest!!!! And...free zoo? HUH??????
I love knowing that the day when I totally vented to you about my frustrations and needed a huge escape as a mother was something you were feeling too. I left feeling totally bad that I had vented so badly but thank you so much for being a friend that I could talk to!
