Moving forward
By ella | March 25, 2005
As a (shudder) semi-Type-A personality I rejoice in getting things done. Much of my post partum depression and frustration at being stuck at home with small children can be attributed to two things: 1) tiredness and 2) the need for a sense of life moving forward.
Being a stay at home mom, for me, means I am simply marking time personally. I don’t have time really to achieve anything that gives me a sense that my life (rather than my children’s) is moving forward. I am not learning anything new, producing anything, working towards promotion, bettering myself, anything.
So yesterday, Matthew looked after the children and I wrote the first thing I have written in a long time.
And I know you may not be as excited as I am about this, but it was an important day.
