I'm not going to lie to you... I've spent the last few weeks going through a bit of a personal crisis.
No, nothing happened per say... In fact, it's a whole lot of humbug that I don't really want to talk about it, hence the "personal".
Yes, not even with you, Internet. Sorry.
This afternoon, I was with my younger sister talking about life and I made some comment about how hard mine has been lately...
She turned to me and said, "What's so hard about your life? You get to stay home with your kid, which you love..."
She incidentally also takes care of kids all day except they are not hers, she gets paid for it, and they are very special. Her job IS demanding and I even though worry about her sometimes, I know she does a great job!
I was indignant upon being told this and defended myself before completely changing the subject. How dare she not take me seriously? I mean it is HARD to be a SAHM... Whah!
Upon reflecting on this conversation later in the day, I realized that she was RIGHT. I don't have any reason to be complaining and snapped right out of my funk.
Sometimes you just need a slap in the face and a dose of reality to quit the self pity. My life is far from perfect, but hey, so is everyone's else's...
I got plenty to be grateful for and the first of which is the privilage of having a son that I can hang out with all day long.
Thanks, Sis.
