a drag

my life used to be simpler.

i'm not exactly sure what changed in me.

when we were newly married

we lived in a smaller house -

we had less money -

less responsibilities.

i had smaller kids

and more time.

we did lots of fun stuff together.

and i seemed to be able to accomplish 

enough to be satisfied.

i was a dreamer

and worked towards
making my dreams a reality.
now i feel more tired -
i like time alone,
and sometimes my dreams  -
seem more like a nuisance.
oh - kind of a sad-ish post -
maybe that's what being sick at home
does to me.
on a happier note...

i want to congratulate my friend 'r' -
on the birth of baby 'a'.
i took this photo 2 weeks before her arrival.
i know that they are spending lovely
alone time at home,
but i so want to see that baby
and give her a cuddle -
but i'll have to wait
until i am over this dreaded sickness.
