You're doing such an amazing job with Julia and you know that no one can replace you as the mom. Every second you spend with her benefits her, so don't think for a minute that you're wasting your time there. I don't mean to be the perspective police or anything, but you should be SO happy and thankful for what you have. I'd trade you any day. I'm sure you'll get out of this rut soon...if you think a margarita might help, I'm around. Love you.Sara McCartyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04942635767083902005noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4618018644403555747.post-2872198360258196942011-02-17T13:44:38.007-06:002011-02-17T13:44:38.007-06:00I totally empathize with the "rotting" f...I totally empathize with the "rotting" feeling. In fact, I had a mini-meltdown last weekend after getting so overwhelmed with all the things that I WASN'T getting done that I started rampaging around the house cleaning and knocking things over until Marcus finally asked me what was going on and I burst into tears. I don't know what it is about being stuck in the house all day, but I think it does crazy things to otherwise non-crazy people. And I don't even have a baby at home to help excuse my lack of productivity!<br /><br />Hang in there, and maybe focus on some small goals/tasks that you can achieve today and take some pride in getting those things done (even if a bunch of other things don't get done). You're a new mother, which means your supermom powers haven't fully developed. Yet. :)Ellihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08505171876457762034noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4618018644403555747.post-30783350742012886572011-02-17T12:35:41.783-06:002011-02-17T12:35:41.783-06:00No captions?

The one with her chin resting is adorable, but I love the one of her flailing backwards! This has to be her most annoying habit, but it has grown on me since we did upside-down smiles yesterday.<br /><br />I love you and I think you are doing great! Those were some creepy bugs on the tomatoes, though...<br /><br />PS the color/contrast on these pictures is really good.rglunthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16355214411241673883noreply@blogger.com
