I haven't been posting on this blog since V was born. Life has run me over, so to speak. The long days and nights of catnaps and baby crying really got to me. I freaked out more than a little and actually couldn't sleep for a couple days in those first weeks. Some meds from my doctor helped a little bit, but the only thing that really gave me light was when he started sleeping for 4 hours at a time. Then I could last for a few hours; then I'd need to sleep as soon as he did. This was how I coped for the first 8 months. Lots of tears and yelling were included.
Packing up and moving into our "new" fixer-upper happened in June. Jesse began to get steady, paying work in July. Zoe started 2nd grade amid the most crowded mess she's ever lived in. The state of my home has slowly become a little more organized. I still have piles of paperwork that give me nightmares. Our sewer problem has been ongoing since the first couple weeks we moved in. We finally figured out how to live in the house when the water doesn't go down; just go elsewhere when you need to use water! Thankfully, we have family a few blocks away, so that's a life-saver. The plumber came yesterday, to snake it out again. He didn't find the problem, but we temporarily have use of a flushing toilet again! YAY!
That's the facts; I truly hope 2011 is an easier year than 2010 was! I will try to chill out more and be a little easier on myself this year. Good goals for everyone. Peace and joy, friends, in 2011!
