It's comforting to know someone else sees something familiar in what currently just feels like chaos :)This Ro(a)mantic Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09324882155203905958noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7356184928339139776.post-36953028361856410612014-01-26T19:48:09.421-06:002014-01-26T19:48:09.421-06:00I'm sitting here, in my own yoga togs, nodding...I'm sitting here, in my own yoga togs, nodding and nodding. So much of this resonates-- from the dodging the page, to the family, to the suspension. Keep writing.

But you're right -- it's not realistic to do so. And yes, the fridge is still short on proper meal-making goods! How did you know ...<br /><br />I'm so sorry the kids were sick! I hope you managed not to catch the bugs yourself. Lots of empathy here too -- O. doesn't always catch what we bring home, but he inevitably transfers it from one parent to the other. I think we've had at least four bugs come through since October. Suspension of progress, big time!<br /><br />Walks are going to keep me sane :). Fortunately, O. likes them.This Ro(a)mantic Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09324882155203905958noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7356184928339139776.post-59329634256442663982014-01-22T15:17:13.584-06:002014-01-22T15:17:13.584-06:00After reading your post, I just want to write,&quo...After reading your post, I just want to write,"Don't do it! Skip the gatherings!" But I imagine that doesn't feel realistic for you. As for taking stock and recharging, maybe February is your month?<br /><br />Either way, if your like me, if you spend too much time looking forward into the fog, you risk staying in that state of "suspension of progress." When I focus on things like that coming up, I am less like to try to establish a routine or buy produce. Even with pending interruptions, I think it will be great if you can take stock and set some routines so that you are not consistently "suspended."<br /><br />I don't mean to preach, just feeling a LOT of empathy. My kids were just sick for two weeks, and it was very difficult not to feel suspending. Take that much needed walks help tremendously.<br /><br />Hugs!<br /><br />Good Enough Womanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16531793545583712309noreply@blogger.com
