dirty laundry
by sixpence @ Tuesday, 29. Jan, 2008 - 21:24:50

sorry 'bout yesterday's post, was on downer. As much as I adore spending time with baby Smudge sometimes I just get a bit frustrated 'cos I'm not using my brain and we don't get out much. Also it's just so hard to get anything done while you are looking after a baby. So there is stuff I need to do, like finding work (fairly urgent, or I will soon be on zero income) and it's just not feasible. I need to believe in my business again, I need to feel confident that I can get it back up and running, but it's hard when I haven't done it for so long and I can't get around to the basic tasks like getting my website off the ground or tendering for contracts. I spend every spare moment doing laundry like a maniac, because the baby creates so much goddamn washing. Parsley comes home and regales me with tales of his day and all I have to report is "I've done some washing" or "Smudge did three poos today". Riveting stuff.

Anyway I shall stop whingeing because I am truly grateful for what I've got and just got in a bit of a state yesterday because I was feeling that I wasn't important. But that makes me a silly billy because without me where would Smudge be? In a very very pooey nappy that's where! And I can't speak for ParsleySage but I suppose I must be important to him too. A man needs clean socks after all!! :))

All very understandable, Sixy. Rant away when you need to. No need to apologise at all :D

What you're dong right now is hugely important - they may seem like mundane tasks, but add them all up and you're caring for the people you love. Your family couldn't manage without you.

Of course you need some time and space for you, too, for the sake of your head if nowt else. It's difficult right now, but hopefully will become easier soon as more and more things fall into a routine and you no longer feel as though you're fire-fighting.

Rooting for you, medear. Small steps with the work - it will happen.

Doubt it. No one northern says "dong" with a straight face.

I used to get similar downers when I was doing live-in care of the elderly, and I needed written permission in triplicate to get out and have a ten minute walk around the park... or so it felt.

I couldn't exactly say I adored spending time with them, I did because I had to, and I tried to make it as interesting for all concerned as I could, but....

So, whinge away, I don't mind!!

Motherhood sucks the brains right outta your head. It is like sticking a vacuum cleaner to your ear and then ya press the on switch.

It does get better hunny. I promise

Clean socks....Know your station! Thats what I always say.

Well not always. Bit difficult going out to the Veg shop and just replying "Know your station" when the half frozen girl asks "do I want organic beetroot or just the other stuff".

Unless PS earns enough to support you both fully, tell him to do his own bloody socks, and do half of Smudges washing while he's at it.. shouldn't just be you doing all of it.

You work all day too, just because its not out of the house and includes a baby doesn't mean it's not a proper job :P

ahem... just thinking what an entertaining read this posting would make for Parsley's former wife...

What would she make of it? I don't know. A paper aeroplane? A woollen shawl? What did you have in mind?

Perhaps you should send it to her in a plain brown envelope, and sign off as "a friend" in letters cut out of the Daily Star?

Reluctant though I am to feed anonymous trolls, I CAN tell you that Parsley Sage has never been married.

Goodbye.
