Sigh,,,today is looking up. My five year old is in the yard with a huge red peg on her nose, shovel in hand, picking up the family dog's poo. Every now and then I can hear her announce to the dog "Strike me Pink, Edgar this stinks.." Sigh, that child really is an echo of everything we say. My baby boy is napping so all is clear on that front.
I am so brain dead today, all I seem to do is menial tasks that all have to be re-done tommorrow and I am continuously followed by a blonde midget asking me questions. No adult interaction, no stimulating conversation, only basic tasks and talk! It is really hard going from a full time working person to a housewife. I worked in the medical industry at a hospital with lots of different people, most of them witty and entertaining. I really miss the humour and interation with my work mates, not to mention the pub crawls every 2 months or so. My only outing these days is the grocery shopping, with children in tow.
Every time I get in this kind of mental rut, I try and tell myself I am so lucky and I am. Two feet and a heartbeat, healthy kids, healthy husband, house, car, food on the table etc.....More than some people will every have in a life time. It is hard to keep this mindset when your brain is turning to porridge. I need more challenges than this. I must do something to cultivate a more happening social life....hmmmmm. Lets put these things on the to do list huh?
