howdy everyone! i'm back from nebraska and the family visit. it was hot and sunny, and the wheat is getting ready to be harvested. we went for a canoe ride down a fast river, leaving me little time to wallow in self-pity. we saw a great Aussie movie "the castle" that made me lol the whole time -- my parents just got back from a month tour of Australia with an exchange student from when i was a child. sometimes i wish i were the same person i was before Yeti, and could just laugh and be carefree on my weekends with my family. but that would mean i would have to give up my Yeti too.
Bailey- lol, nebraska as an "exotic" place sounds wonderful. i love it because i grew up there, but most in the u.s think of it as a rural backwater. the coast sounds exotic to me!
Georgie- i'm sorry you are feeling so down. i am too, so i'll just send hugs.
Lynn- YEAH! for *Hope*'s heartbeat! sounds like a good gig at work, something for you to do and still supportive enough to be not so stressful. i find it difficult to care about work the way i used to. i'm a zombie who gets some stuff done, that's all.
Jo- what a terrifying experience for your brother. the post traumatic stress thing could kick in. ikwym about worrying about loved ones, every time someone is 5 minutes late, my morbid imagination is sure they have met with a bad end.
Spring- hope you have some luck relaxing. i guess each day is a new test. hugs.
Mel- yah, sometimes the too hard basket ****es me off too. but only when i have the energy to be angry. when i do, i focus it all on one friend in particular who finds me too hard to talk to at all. sorry about the disappointment this cycle - i think it is impossible to not feel it, no matter what one tries to do to keep hope at bay.
Klee- oh, i am sorry for your feelings about the other moms not knowing and recognizing you. we should have signs above our heads, i swear. my sister in laws always talk about child rearing in front of me, but i can't participate because i don't count as a mom to them. it hurts. hugs to you, and you are a great mom to Phoebe!
Susan- i'm so sorry for your loss. good luck with the ttc.
