why was this a good idea again?
Self, listen to your instincts. I never really wanted to do this. But, you know, living in Europe is one of those things everyone says you're supposed to want. And I suppose if I were childfree it would be different. But basically, I've won a Fulbright grant so that I can be a full-time housewife. Mr. C's job wants him on 9-6, so of course childcare for a miserable 7-year old, cooking, shopping etc gets to be my job.
And being a housewife sucks in Belgium, just as it sucks in the U.S. It's what I have worked really hard to avoid having to do. Because I hate it.
I suppose it will be better when Connor goes to school, but there are several hurdles there, and I really am not looking forward to sending him off somewhere to be miserable every day. The Fulbright people are incredibly unhelpful. Honestly, at this point, I hate them. And I hate myself for taking this grant.
I had another post worked up with all sorts of insights, but I don't have the energy to finish it.
