Keeping busy

Mrs.Johnson

Thanks for all of the encouragement and responses to my pity-party post yesterday.  I am trying to keep myself super-busy to avoid feeling depressed.  I have been walking my doggies (trying to get in 2 miles on my pedometer a day) and tutoring after school, cleaning house, etc. 

I will be so glad when we get a baby home.  I know I'll still be busy but at least it will be taking care of the baby.  I guess I am just feeling this maternal instinct, like I should have a child.  I wish there was a switch and I could turn it off for a while until we are chosen.

Thanks for listening!

Isn't this the truth.

 I missed your post yesterday (I've been in and out like crazy) but I am glad you're feeling better.

I also missed your post yesterday but hey, you are completely allowed to have days like that!  The important part is to keep moving forward when you are ready.

It sounds like you are doing everything you can.  I'm glad you are trying to keep your head up.  I know what you mean about that instinct; there's a longing inside of me that just won't quit.  Most days, I just push it deep down and try to ignore it.  That ought to be healthy, right?
