My husband is away on business, and I'm stuck home with a sick baby...(da duh! na nuh!)...oh geez, now I'm writing bad blues songs...
Anyway, I'm usually ok when he travels, but last night I got to feeling sooo lonely. But, I'm not even sure it was about being alone. I mean, sometimes I feel lonely in a room full of people. I just kept wishing I had someone to call up and talk to, about anything, just chit chat, even. My two friends (yes, exactly two and only two!) were not home, so no luck there. I couldn't even come to psycho-babble, because my baby needed hands on attention(the portable phone is the best invention for mothers). So, yes, I am feeling sorry for myself!
Shame on me! There are other people much worse off than me! Pick myself up by my bootstraps! snap out of it! What have I got to be depressed about! and my all time favorite (a quote from my own mother, no less)..."Just decide you're 'not' going to be depressed, and you won't be!"
Well, that's enough for now, I hear my baby stirring...Lucky you!!! CarolAnn

Dear Carol Ann,
I know how hard it is to be care-taking a unhappy under-the-weather babe alone and seemingly forgotten by the rest of society. I have five wee ones, and my husband is a CAD systems administrator, on call at all times for computer problems, and I have not a single friend in this itty-bitty town I live in. You feel free to ramble away all those negative feelings. We are here and listening.
My thoughts are with you Carol Ann, you are not alone, though we may be hard to see in the bright morning light :-) I hope you're not running on sleep depravation in addition to the other trying factors. Take care and give yourself some chocolate and a hug (unless you're not allowed chocolate, then you'll have to give yourself an extra big hug :-)

Hope Monday brings you a much better day and know that we all have you in our thoughts. Give that baby a big hug and kiss for me! Everytime I try to kiss or hug my babies they say "Oh Dad, you're embarrasing me!"Greg
