Urgh...What a day!

[jupiter]

I woke up this morning... opened the curtains and it was dim. Raining, and just turning light, at "7 o'clock in the morning". So was that our summer that just up and left last week then?

Took the kids to school, came home and waited for a party plan manager to come round and see me, I need a life you see.

I have three children... two at school and a baby of 7 months. Anyone else feel the same as this, a housewife, a mum and someone to moan at when things go wrong?

I fell pregnant last year and it was a suprise to say the least... but baby was born and we love him to bits, he is so good, every mothers dream, sleeps through the night, only cries when he is hungry or tired... smiles alllll the time.

So why do I feel so glum? I should be on top of the world with a great family around me. I just feel so fed up today. I need a life apart from being a housewife and mum.

Sorry for my long drawn out moaning. I will pick up by tomorrow... thinks me!

often feel exactly the same including the hoping the next day I will pick up. Some of us are never satisfied with what we have why?

Hope that fed up feeling goes away for you soon jupiter.

Hi Jupiter. Hope you are feeling a bit better now. Your family sounds lovely, but being a housewife can be draining - it's all give, give, give isn't it? I've started a college course on a Friday, painting - which is something I love. It keeps me sane, because I'm doing something just for me for a change. Would it be possible for you to do something like that? Just having a little 'me' time can really take the resentment out of being the constant care-giver. Hugs to you.

I think it's the onset of winter. I've been feeling quite perky of late despite the weather but it felt like someone flicked a switch on Tuesday and I've had a bubble every day since.

Feeling better today despite some git bashing my parked car and not owning up

I agree with all the comments. I always start feeling a bit low this time of the year, a combination of less light and heat, and the awful realisation that another year's almost over and I've still not achieved much. Went back to work p/t last month after 2 years of a break, with both kids off to school now, and I have to say it's fab. A challenge, adult company, and a nice pay cheque. I think anything for you, be it work or a hobby, can make the world of difference.

Hi

Thanks for your comments... cheered me up to realise I wasn't alone. Feeling much better today.

Got up washed hair, put bit of make up on (wonders what that can do)

You lot are great on here...

thanks

Glad you are feeling a little better Jupiter. Keep in touch. x
