2007 was a bang-up year with many new babies added to our lives including my own amazing, beautiful son. He's six weeks old now and I've loved being his mother. I'm getting a bit overwhelmed though, not only by being the main (90%) caregiver for him, but the drama in other parts of my life that has piled in on top since his birth. And he's hungry now but his dad is trying to pacify him because I said my reserves were being drained, so his dad figured 30 minutes of caring for our boy and leaving me to my own devices would solve that. I'm feeling very passive-aggressive. I think it's in part to the fact that I can't exactly say what's wrong. There's definitely something more I need from Scott, but I don't know what that is or how to say it. Anyhow that's not what I wanted to get out - not yet anyway. Instead I just want to put down the other drama that's been going on because I'm starting to lose track of it and it's just turning into depressing gray matter in my mind.
He is hungry so this will have to be quick.
1) My son and I survived an almost-fire shortly before Christmas. Dad wasn't there, so he doesn't get my anxiety about this.
2)My Grandma broke her back the day after Christmas. They did some miracle cure, she was healing and walking and walked the wrong direction in the middle of the night two weeks later (i.e. last Monday), fell down the stairs and broke her shoulder, elbow, 2 ribs, pelvis and maybe hip - they still haven't determined this.
3) My brother is hearing voices in his head
4) My Dad is fighting to save his company from going bankrupt and is, himself, getting overwhelmed by the events in our lives.
Time to feed.
