mom up!
i was lamenting to my sissy today about the ridiculous lack of sick days in this whole parenting profession. here i am, feeling like crap with a sinus infection on top of the way i’ve been feeling lately anyhow. her advice was “mom up!” and that is the game isn’t it? i signed up for this. i knew i was going to have to devote myself entirely to this little person. i guess i just thought i’d have a little more help. hubby is a fantastic father but he’s having a surprisingly difficult time adjusting and coping. 99% of the time, that’s fine but on the couple of occasions where i can’t cope… well it’d be nice for him to step up a bit more in the interim. the one friend that i expected to be my “mommy support” has turned out to be much more of a taker than a giver on that front. i used to be anti-mommy-group purely on the basis of my anti-social nature. now, i’ve been trying to reach out to other mommies but can’t seem to find an “in” anywhere. not even at church. i can’t exactly join a mops group or anything since all that stuff happens during working hours. I just feel very lonely in this whole journey and it would be great if I had someone to talk with and tell me that they understand.
