You are not alone! Your life has been turned 360 degrees by parenthood. The first year is a HUGE adjustment. If you liked your job and made more money, yes, it would be easier to handle the stress of parenting. It's like that line in that movie I don't remember: I feel like I'm running a daycare with my best friend. You still have the groove, it's just buried. We all wish we had more money and that ideal job. And yes money does bring some happiness and security, those pp that say it doesn't are already wealthy. Plus this economy is a drag drag drag on the whole national pyche. It's easy to say this , harder to practice but it works: you control your attitude and every day you have to do something just for you. That makes you feel good about yourself. (No you won't go blind.) Dress up, light the candles at dinner, watch a funny show, network with someone, etc etc. And you have to really appreciate what you already have and keep the bitching to a minimum. So you may be ten lbs heavier-you are healthy!! What if you were paralyzed? That would be a downer! Blog bitchin is OK. Ten minutes then move on. Do it, even if you don't feel like it's working at least you are trying. Positive vibes brings good karma. Now I have to go through my boring Friday night routine of deciding dinners for the next week and cleaning the bathrooms. BUT!!! Happily get to watch BIll Maher as a reward! Hhhmmm…how much space do I have for the comment? You are not alone!
