It's not that they are insensitive but still, sometimes it feels that way. You are doing an amazing job and you have a little girl who will thank you one day. Treasure the moments, they pass so quickly!

My friends without children (which is most of them at my age) all keep asking when I'll be free for a girls night again. It's hard to explain that it's not a priority to me anymore without hurting their feelings thus making me feel enormous amounts of guilt.

There's not enough time with them, but my house drives me nuts and there's stuff I want to do with that, and there's stuff like laundry that needs doing, and work can't be less, really, though I do think in many ways part-time would be so ideal, and then there's time with misterpie to feed that relationship, and time with friends, and things I'd love to do like take a course again some day, just seem so far away... It's not easy. I don't anticipate feeling like I've got a handle on things for a while yet, and much as that sucks, it's the penalty of caring about all of those things, and, well, I'm good with caring.kittenpiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05215443551546036909noreply@blogger.com
