Pity party of one

can i just whine and "woe is me" a bit here? i'm SO not feeling this going back to work thing. week one was such a disaster with DS still not wanting the bottle and coming down with his first cold. we've tried pretty much every nipple type available at babies r' us. also, anytime i see sweet dog moments on tv or have to explain what happened to my dog and why we had to put him down, i get weepy. AND, ever since i had a spark of a new job opportunity last month, my mind has been on leaving my current position. not really the motivation to keep myself motivated for the time being.

i'm the breadwinner, and DH's contract ends in april, so i'm trying to just hang in there until we are in a better position for me to find a new permanent job. andplusalso, i feel sick from cedar. that's like 16 strikes against me. i'd go drink heavily now... oh yeah, except kid won't take a bottle.

i'll stop feeling sorry for myself in like 30 minutes. [putting on big girl panties]

  • Sounds like the perfect storm of :(. I'm sorry this week is totally sucking...hope it's just temporary. You guys are going through a lot of big changes all at one time so it's totally understandable that you're just not feeling up to any of it right now. Lots of virtual hugs headed your way. I hope things start to look brighter soon for y'all.

  • thanks, B! i hope it's temporary too. maybe by starting the first week back at work so crappily, things can only get better. i bet some chocolate and ice cream would help. i'm gonna go find some now.
  • Super. Boo. I hope you either get a great opportunity presented soon,or lots of allergy and/or feeding relief! Do you at least still get to do some yoga?
