Monday blues

OK, today's September 11th - that's a reason for historic blues to even get the day started. But here's why I'm feeling blue today

1. It's Monday
2. I spent all weekend with JUST my husband, no kids, no live-in siblings, no dogs. Just the two of us for 48 hours. The sun shone, we slept, we had sex, we talked. So I'm coming down off that high.
3. I got my period....nothing more to say, otherthan.....
4. I secretly had hoped that I might be pregnant. Highly unlikely, but like every month that passes, I secretly hope. And so obviously I'm not.
5. We had a big talk this weekend about baby #3 and things aren't looking good in my camp. Outside a miracle, meaning an "oops how did that happen", my husband is not interested in having a third......so I'm devastated. Trying hard not to be, but I am. In fact, I don't even want to let my mind wander in that direction for fear of the true "blues" that might erupt.
6. Started swimming lessons with my daughter today and it SUCKED. She's three and I thought she'd be ok for the teacher only lessons. I was wrong. She cried and clung to my leg for the entire 1/2 hour......now what am I going to do for the next 9 lessons?
7. My mother was here and is gone. Way too many details to explain why this gives me the blues but today I feel extra sad.
8. My sister is gone for three weeks on holiday and when she gets back she only has one month left in her mat leave.....I miss her.
9. My son, who is finally on the cusp of walking, has a mystery leg injury. He won't walk, won't scoot (he doesn't crawl), won't even put weight on his leg. Poor guy is miserable.

Wow, what a list. Let's try and think of some things to boost my spirits.
1. Fall TV is starting this week. Pathetic, I know that I'm excited about the new season of TV, but I'm desperate for escape into the lives of surgical interns and castaways. Even some of the new shows look interesting....like I need MORE TV to be addicted to.
2. It's fall.....summer is over and there are things to do now with my kids. Don't get me wrong, I love the summer and going to the beach and the park, but I'm ready for some place to go where there is more to do than push swings and catch kids on slides....oh and clean sand out of bum cracks.

Not many but a couple to keep me going. Just need to make it through the day....tomorrow will be better, I'm sure.
