Chocolates..

November 7, 2008 in Boo, DH, Toto, depression, family court, friendship, home by Fe | 8 comments

We had some visitors the other day. Lara and Inigo (from here) dropped by for some boy-adoration time. Awwww..

Toto was away, and so Inigo had Boo all to himself. I love the way my boys enjoy spending time with littler kidlets.

Awww…….


There was SO much laughter!



..and then Boo decided that the world was way “cooler” when seen from an inverse position. Can’t say I disagree with him. (Probably because he could see – without all that hair in his eyes!)

This is an unusually early-morning shot of our view to the north. I say “unusually” because it’s not like me to be awake before 6am, let-alone UP. Toto needed to be at school for a 6am excursion departure the other day, and so I made the most of it.

Do you ever have times when all you seem to do is cry? I tear-up over everything (and no, I’m not pre-menstrual). I had a run-in with my telephone provider today… and cried for an hour over it. Crazy. I mean, not literally (I hope). And I’m feeling very overwhelmed about the legal stuff with DH and “her” and everything else on my plate.

I guess I just need to cry it out. I feel as though I’m being very tough on myself for even talking about it here (feels kinda vulnerable) and that this should prompt me to “pull it together”. I would never be that tough on anyone else.

*sigh*

Life. Is like a box of chocolates….. (thanks Forrest Gump for that clinker)

    Gorgeous photos, Fe!
    I don’t think you should be so hard on yourself. As you said, you wouldn’t begrudge someone else the chance to let it all out – specialy if they had all the stuff to deal with that you have right now.

    It’s very hard sometimes to yourself space for your own emotions. You are entitled to it though.

    those pics are just beautiful Fe (and Im only slightly biased as Im related to one of the boys!).

    Cry all you want – if I was going through what you are going through, I would have been crying every day for months.
    Someone once said to me that crying is a release for your brain when the stress hormones get too high in your system.

    Thanks everyone. I adore the photo of Inigo. He’s such a happy little soul… giggling and hugging away.

    And thanks for the support. I know that it’ll pass and I’ll be my bright bubbly self again.

    And yes, M. The view cheers me up often. I can lose myself in it. And in the view I get of the city from the other side. I’m very lucky.

    I LOVE the photos.

    I think we all have times when we cry a lot.

    And you do have a LOT on your plate. I would be crying too.
