Oh…hello world…there you are…

I’m coming out of a fog.  I don’t know how to explain it.  Oh wait.  Yes I do.

You know when you meet someone, that special someone, and it turns your whole world upside down.

You can’t get enough of each other.  You hardly see your friends.  You stop trying to make new ones.  You don’t even notice if you have eaten that day.

You fall off the face of the earth…and those times when you might actually be around other people, you aren’t really there…you’re still off in your own little ‘private world’ with your special someone (flying through the sky in a red convertible?  ok…maybe not that part!).

And then, one day, you wake up and think, “Oh, hello world.  Nice to see you.”  But no one is saying ‘nice to see you’ back – and you realize that you are missing a bunch of your connections because you have neglected them.

I feel a bit like that.  Sorry friends.

And sorry blog.  I’ve neglected you too.  But at least I know you don’t care.

Anyone else feel this way after having a baby?  Am I normal? (ok…I know I’m not normal…but is the feeling normal?)

Well Mason is now 4 and most days I feel like I am still disconnected from the rest of the world… I’m not sure that it ever changes. I know for certain that it never goes back to the way it was! For me, being a full time working mom compounds it. I describe my work life as being sucked into a vortex each AM and being spit out each PM not knowing what has occured on the outside. WWIII could break out and I would have no idea. I walk into the climate controlled, flourecent light and stare into the little screen on my desk with no conceot of what takes place beyond the four walls of my office! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! Enjoy mat leave! I miss the sunny walks pushing my little Mr. in his stroller and breathing the fresh air… I am still in love with him – that part never changes – the love only gets deeper and stronger!

Yup, it’s funny- after that “fourth trimester” ends, life resumes normal speed, and you sometimes find yourself left in the dust. Wait ’til you have two!
