ok... now for the update

I've been away for awhile... sorry. I know my 3 readers are wondering what I've been up to. Believe it or not, blogging was just one more thing that overwhelmed me and made me anxious. So that's the reason I haven't blogged. It was just one more thing I felt like I had to do but didn't have time for... blahblahblah.
Anyway... let's see. As you already know, I have PPA and am still dealing with it. It started to get better and then we decided to try for another kid and now it's all coming back. The anxiety. This time I will be better prepared, but it is still very anxiety producing for me.

Thanksgiving came and went. Christmas came and went. Greyson had a good Christmas. He is sill too young to really get it. I worked myself up thinking he would be all into opening presents and such but he couldn't care less. Oh well. My fault for getting my hopes up. New Year's came and went. I went to bed at like 9:00 p.m. My favorite way to spend New Year's Eve!

My next "focus on this" project it the dude's birthday party. I need these little milestones to look forward to and to focus on, otherwise I feel like I am spinning out of control. So, his 1st birthday party is coming up. CAN YOU BELIEVE IT???!!!! It's almost been a whole year!! Yes, I have the "I survived PPA" badge posted over there to the right... but I am not over it yet. I still have it... I just figured that posting that badge is thinking positive and hopefully that would help. But to think that it's been a year already... wow.. time DOES fly!

What else? I've been working and being a mommy. That's all I can really account for. I seriously can't think of anything else that I have done. I haven't worked on any projects, because the thought of it overwhelms me (it's the PPA thing). So basically I wake up, go to work, pick the dude up from daycare, play, take care of dude, make dinner and then go to bed. That is my life. Which is fine, but I just wish I didn't feel like puking all of the time.

So... without further ado... here are some pics....

Good to see you back in blog-land... I've missed you! You're doing an awesome job Christine! Working and caring for an infant/toddler (G is sort of in that in between stage now!) is totally overwhelming and I'm just impressed that you manange to make dinner before going to bed! I totally struggled with that some nights when I was still working. Hang in there and congrats on trying for #2- I'm really excited for you.
Good catching up with you a few weeks ago- lets try to do it again soon!
XOXO

Heh. I just stopped by after a significant hiatus myself, for exactly the same reasons. I guess maybe I shouldn't feel so bad about it then. Damned par-for-the-course stuff that feels so...un-par.

Your little guy is adorable. What a crazy infectious smile. I love it.
