There will be light…right?
NS March 28th, 2008
The dark, windy, wet and miserable days of recent weeks have been cunningly good at matching my mood lately. Maybe it’s the “please, god, get warm and sunny already” end-of-winter blues. Maybe it’s pregnancy hormones. Maybe it’s because TNC is still waking up before 6am every day. Maybe it’s just me, or a combination of all of these things. But I do apologise for being such a downer lately and hope you will stick with me because just like the month of March, I usually only have one bad storm left in me at this point, before the happy blossoms of life break through and renew everything.
My parents arrive on Monday for an eight day visit so posting will again be light next week but hopefully will lift my spirits sufficiently that when I return in April, all will feel settled and calm.
Winter? You need to back down, bitch. Let Spring slap you silly and make us forget you.

It sounds like you’ve had a tough few weeks, what with tnc’s illness and sleep disruptions. Don’t apologise for the negativity. I don’t think there’s enough honesty about raising kids. Nobody talks about the tough days so you can be left feeling like you’re the only one going throug this. It’s refreshing in a way to read about what other sahm’s are going through. Have a great time with your parents and make the most of all that free babysitting.
Well, shouldn’t your blog be the one place where you’re allowed to let it all out? And, yes, there WILL be light. It’s very easy to get depressed this time of year, even without all you’ve been experiencing. Enjoy your parents’ visit.
Siobhan, yes, it’s been a tough few weeks, I’ll admit that. Your comment about needing to hear about the honesty of raising kids made me feel better. And you can bet your booty that I’m going to be LOVING having 24-hour kid entertainers here next week.
Emily, you’re right. It’s my blog and I’ll cry if I want to, cry if I want to, cry if I want to!
For what it’s worth, I’ve had a much better day today.
hey..sorry you’re feeling so low. I don’t blame you. I’m sending you some virtual south african sunshine.
Oh man, virtual SA sunshine, couldn’t we all do with a bit of that!? I think the fact we didn’t have a summer last year probably hasn’t helped.
I’m hoping you have enjoyed a sunny day or two this last week though, we have here and as somebody who is also struggling a little I’ve found it helps immensely.
I hope you have a great time with the folks and are back to your chirpy self in no time. Meanwhile, as someone else said, if you want to have a good old moan, where better to go than your blog! That’s what a blog’s for!
Cheers
