Yikes...I'm turning into THAT lady with a baby
I just need to hear that it's normal to not want to be running around doing lots of stuff right now. At three months old my baby needs a consistent schedule, and I just don't really have much interest in nor energy for running around. I kinda don't care about going to the movies, or the beach, or the museum, or anything like that at the moment. I just kind of want to be at home with my baby, doing productive things around the house, and relaxing. I went back to work much sooner than I felt ready to, and I don't think my brain is 100% back, but the pressure has been SUPER hot and I am having to force myself to be "my old self" and keep on top of things even though I feel like I am not ready to be doing so.
I get my social and activity yayas out all week by working my tuchus off. Lately when I get home I just want to be at home...you know, this place I pay so much money to live in and have worked so hard to make nice since we moved in? The place with the comfy couch?
It's hard to reconcile this particular malaise with a partner who is Mr. Recreational Activities All The Time Forever, a guy who has only lived in SF for a year and a half and has a constant itch to go do things - anything, whatever it is - and is even worse at sitting still than I am. I find myself envying my friends in couples who agree that the pinnacle of achievement on a Friday night is a good meal and a DVD rental.
I guess I'm going to have to settle for going with him sometimes, and for otherwise doing the chill out thing by myself more often and just continuing, as I have, to kick him out the door without me for the sake of both our sanity.
