sorry you had such a rough day. i am glad it helped to vent about it. i can't imagine how overwhelming it all must be to have a totally new lifestyle to adapt to that changes all the aspects of your life. i think you are handling it with grace and a sense of humor - and i am here if you need to go for a walk, or walk away from the baby for a few hours.

i think jill and i will be stopping by on friday - i know she can't wait to see you and Van. we will call you to confirm.

love you!!!

Perhaps that punching bag we tried out the other day would come in handy on days like today. Actually, most days. . .

But in the interest of being girlfriends, vent away. If nothing in your life were frustrating, you'd be really boring to hang out with.

And just for the record, that outfit you had on yesterday looked really hot on you.

it will get better

I had a lot more of these type feelings with Ryan than Sydney. I think with all the trouble we had even getting her here overshadowed any hormonal blues i might have had. With Ryan I was stay home mom. Even sat down at one point to write my letter of resignation Luckily Greg works hard and makes awesome money i could stay home and we would be fairly set. I'm blessed to have that option, which i think adds to even more guilt when you choose to go back to work. I felt like a total waste of space when I was at home... Was I? well of course not! I was doing what everyone says is the most important job in the world raising my children myself without help from anyone. I remember the "looks" I would get from my husband when he would come home from a long day of work and i would ask him "could you run to Wal-mart and get some diapers?" I'd get that stare like "I've worked all day you've been luxurating all day at home and you couldn't get diapers?" of course it was never said just like i never said "man, I can't even remember if I

I wish I knew what to say to make you feel all better, warm and fuzzy. I wish I could sit there and understand all of this with you, but I am clueless... All I can think of to do is bake you cookies. ;)

I want to thank for sharing this and for putting it out there. For saying this is fucking hard work and there are days that are worse then others. It is very real. You are helping a future mother open her eye's to the reality of what a wonderful little man/woman can bring.

I also want to to tell you that I look up to you. Your way of looking within yourself to find out what the real issue is courageous, brave and real. Thanks for being a role model for me.

You are truly amazing. Van is a lucky boy and so is your husband.
