What the heck is wrong with me

Ok, so I'm either depressed or I'm just lazy or something. I don't know what the heck is wrong with me today. Or this week.

Christmas wasn't Christmas. There was nothing Christmasy about it. Every book I try to read (with one exception) is completely boring. I'm not hungry but I'm eating too much. At least that's what my stupid doctor told me yesterday..."Oh wow, you've put on some extra weight, haven't you?" Thanks. That's nice. I'm glad you are making thousands of dollars off me while simultaneously exploiting my insecurities.

I've been on vacation for 2 weeks and I have accomplished nothing. I had grand plans. I was going to be productive and successful. So far, I'm still in my bathrobe.

My favorite songs come on the radio and I just tell them to shut up and I turn the radio off.

And what's the deal with going to the bathroom when you are pregnant. It is impossible to wipe. Ok that's gross but it's true. I can't even reach anything or see anything I used to be able to reach and see. And what the heck am I complaining about--every female goes through this.

My life seems like a series of empty days hurling toward a goal that may or may not come--the baby's birth still seems abstract and unrealistic. I can't wait for him to be born yet at the same time I don't believe he will be born. Yet in the meantime, I just wake up, work (or don't work), clean (or don't clean) my house, eat (too much) and then go to sleep (too early). Even video games aren't fun anymore.

I just picture when Tyler is born everything will magically change. My life will have purpose (don't get me wrong, I still have a testimony and I'm grateful for my life. I just have nothing exciting going on currently).

Ok I shouldn't even post this. It sounds ridiculous. Oh well.

HIJACK

This post is not coming to you VIA Jennifer. This is her husband, Erik. I decided to hijack her blog (ah...the things you can do when in possession of another's password) and tell her how I feel about her. This will probably not be posted for long, I am sure as soon as she sees it she will remove it. HERE GOES! Jennifer, my dear, I love you oh so very much. On Monday is our 1 year anniversary! A whole year! That may not seem like much, but my oh my it has flown by quickly. Since you are a relative young'un that year actually represents around 4.76% of your entire lifespan(thus far). I still keep my eye out for things that represent 'US'. Who can forget the 'EJ' Truck? I have never stopped looking for, nor noting 28s as they pop up all over the place. I notice all of the little things you do. I notice the little faces you make. I notice the little noises you make. I notice the slight shifting of your posture in response to my incessant joking. This face was made...

One Month Old

Tyler turned one month old on Friday! He has grown and changed a lot just in the last couple of weeks. It is so much fun to watch him now that he is smiling and holding his head all the way up and clasping his hands together--interlaced as if in prayer. He is the cutest baby (ok, so I'm biased). We've had a hard week though (make that almost two weeks--I've been trying to publish this post for 5 days). The other day he screamed for almost 24 hours straight. Luckily Jaime came over to show me how to help relieve his gas and he calmed down for a couple of hours. He has been up all night, up all day and just kind of hard to deal with. Of course I still love him, which is weird. Usually its hard to love someone who deprives you of sleep. :) Update: Like I said, I have been trying to publish this for almost a week--I have had literally no time between work and a screaming baby and laundry and dishes and cooking and cleaning but alas I think I now have 5 minutes! Anyway, Ty...
