ATTENTION!
ALIENS ARE COMING TO ABDUCT ALL THE GOOD LOOKING AND SEXY PEOPLE.
YOU WILL BE SAFE, I’M JUST WRITING TO SAY GOODBYE.
Hee hee. I couldn’t help myself. My sister Mel emailed that to me yesterday and I laughed out loud.
I thought it would be a good opener for this post. If you couldn’t tell from my last post, I’m feeling a little “out of sorts”. Life is busy with three kids, yes, and I need to find time to do things like…clean the counters. And the floors. And maybe even the bathrooms.
Matthew and I were discussing my funky mood last night. Part of it is due to the state of our house. While most of the rooms are liveable, they are not finished. Being a woman, and a Type A woman at that, it drives me a little to distraction. He could work crazy hard and get it all done, but then he wouldn’t have time to play with and help with the kids. I don’t want that, either. I also know that it’s absolutely ridiculous to be so frustrated. Many people don’t even have a house, so who am I to complain that mine has tools and wood strewn about?
There are other things that have me in a funk, but this is not the place to discuss them. Don’t worry – it’s nothing serious. I don’t have postpartum depression, Honey and I are fantastic, and the kids are wonderful. They have their moments, yes, but overall they make my days better, not worse. I get like this every once in awhile and just need to spend a little extra time with the Big Guy to clear my head.
I’ve also been asked to take back those 19 students for this weekend. Don’t even start with the Supermom comments. You haven’t seen the clutter that I live in…and I’m not talking about the renovation stuff. Just know I’m on a mission to regain a bit of order around here in hopes of feeling more myself.
That being said, I plan to spend as little time on the computer as possible, for as long as it takes until I feel less “funky”. So if I don’t stop by to say hi, it’s not that I’m not thinking of you. I’m just a little occupied elsewhere.
Peace out.
I’m sorry about the “funkiness” but glad you’re going to take the time out to look after yourself. I’ll be praying for you.

We must be in the same funk. I’ve been feeling much the same lately…it’s nice to know i’m normal and not alone (as i sit here typing 1 fingered, wondering why i can’t get anything done). Of course, I do wish you weren’t feeling ‘funky’ at all. Have a great day, Angella. Embrace the funk for what it’s worth. Hope it passes soon!

Good for you, this little box is so addicting! I’ve been spending much less time here since Brooklyn arrived and am better for it. Happy Holidays!

Hope you defunkify soon. I might hitch a ride with Christy tomorrow when she goes out to the sticks to visit you. We can drown your sorrows with DC and holiday baking.

You have such a good attitude. Hope it all settles down soon.
Have a relaxing holiday season, and I’ll put in a good word for you with the Big Guy.

Hope you’re feeling better soon! Just spend some time with the people you need to and let the mess go!!! (course I say that, and I feel very similar at times)

Take it easy. Don’t work too hard, and don’t stress too much. Take care.
