Get a Life!

No, that's not necessarily directed at you, personally.  Actually, I directed this statement to myself a few months ago.

Yes, my "shadow days" are over....but that doesn't mean that life doesn't suck sometimes. It does.

Over these past few years, my resolve and determination have been tested, my relationship has been tested, my sanity has been tested. And my vision of the life I want to have has been tested. It has altered so much that sometimes I don't recognize myself in it.

Something had to change.  So I started working with a life coach. Now, now, don't make fun - hear me out. Because it's the best thing I've done for myself in a long time, and, if you want, you can do it too. Our email address is mylifewithpie@gmail.com, in case you want it. After I tell you all about coaching....you just might.

Parting Is Such Sweet Sorrow...

I hate day care goodbyes!   That pretty much sums it up – you can stop reading now.

Just kidding!

This is a phenomenon that every parent who puts a child in day care experiences from time to time:  the melodramatic exit.  Some of us feel awful enough that we have to leave our sweet little ones elsewhere all day while we work, so a parting that has the feel of a bad movie doesn’t exactly put us in the best frame of mind for the day ahead.

Worrywart!

There are no worries like those that you have about your child.  Now, I’ve always had a predisposition for anxiety. I’m not just anxious about big things, but I’m also overly concerned about stupid little things. I am also restless and tense and wander around the house puttering when I can.

For example, tonight Anna has already fallen asleep and I am alone with her and my dog and cat and my thoughts for the evening. And now that I have the “me” time I occasionally, secretly crave….I really don’t know what to do with myself. So, instead of pacing around and cleaning, I decided to write – sorry to take my restlessness out on you in the cyber world!
