golly I don't know what's wrong with me today. Have nearly burst into tears at least 3x already over the most ridiculous things (watching Jo Frost Supernanny??) and feel dreadfully sick. Am hoping this is due to pregnancy hormones shifting in preparation for my wee boy to join me :) DS has been unusually snuggly today too, curling up on the sofa with me for an hour when we got up (at 5.45am!) just to 'cuddle mummy'. I wonder if he's realising the baby is going to be here soon too.
I have made the mistake of reading some of the OW threads on here recently too, which I just find dreadfully sad :( I am naturally inclined to be compassionate towards other peoples suffering... I actually have no trouble agreeing that we are more than the sum of our parts, mistakes or none, that no-one is 'evil' or 'inherently bad' even when they do make terribly hurtful decisions. But god, the window into the minds of women on here who have such low expectations of themselves and others. When did it become so normal to be so self-seeking? I just can't get my head around it. There just seems to be an attitude (and I don't mean only on the OW threads, I mean among my friends/peers/colleagues - especially those around my age, late twenties to late thirties) that says 'If it's what I want, then that's ok'. Screw the consequences.
I still don't really understand how so many people can get to be an adult without realising what seems (to me at least) to be a pretty universal truth: You get what you give in life, not what you take. I'd so much rather find it in myself to give someone else happiness, than take what I feel I deserve. After all, if all you do is take who knows when the person/people you are taking from will run out of what you want? If you're giving at least you control the supply, and it is pretty much limitless. I really do believe what goes around comes around...
gah... maudlin day. Will go put on a 
and try and cheer up!!
