I've been feeling very "down" lately.
I know I'm not the only one who feels this way from time to time, but this time it seems to be lasting a long time (Its been over 2 weeks now...)
There is a list of reasons why I feel this way, and it is effecting me.
Firstly, I feel like I'm not appreciated. I strive on compliments, its just my personality. So when I do things and they go unnoticed, I shut down. Things that I should do around the house don't get done (laundry, dishes, etc) because I think I'm too tired to do them, and that isn't true, I just don't feel like it, so I don't.
Next, vacations or any time that the hubby takes off ends up being anything but relaxing for me... actually much more stressful. I know he doesn't do it on purpose, but it certainly feels like it!
I am just sick of having to be the one that has to remember everything, take care of everything, I want a vacation! I want to go away from here for a few days to be away from all responsibility.
Another thing, It makes almost frustrated but mostly sad, that Keira doesn't get the attention that her cousins do. I know we live far away, but we might as well live in another state since no one comes and visits us!
Warning: This is my opinion, and not meant to hurt anyone's feelings. But It feels like Keira's cousins are favored. And if it is because they don't see her as often as they see her cousins, I guess we'll just blame me. Because no one else has the ability to drive 30 min to an hour to visit us, it is completely on me/us to visit. To do all the driving around, and arrive with a crabby baby because she won't nap in the car on a drive less then 40 min.
Also, living here is getting harder and harder. It is way to small, I trip over myself in the kitchen daily. I want to be able to watch what I want to on TV and it not be more important to play video games than my lame Food TV! I want to be able to escape the History Channel, I want a yard! Sylar NEEDS a yard, I'm so sick of hearing him get yelled at for doing thing that dogs do... He needs to be able to run around! Not to mention I can't stand the majority of our neighbors - I could deal if I wasn't stuck here ALL THE TIME, but there is no escape for me, and they are annoying. I realize a lot of people don't like their neighbors, but I can deal with it if they weren't in my personal space. These kids play right in front of our door, every moment they are home, and NO ONE watches them!
For awhile, I just dealt with it, held it in, but now I'm getting crabby and snippy, and overly judgmental about everything because I am projecting how I feel onto everyone around me. (Sorry to Mike who takes most of it)
Now I'm starting to get sad. Just writing this I am getting teary... and why? Because I feel like a schmuck! I know of so many people that deal with so much more in their lives, many people have it harder than me, and here I am feeling sorry for myself, and then I feel bad and guilty for feeling this way and I cry. Its a terrible circle.
If its going to be another 2 years before we can move out of here, If I keep going on being unappreciated, If I have to listen to another story about something one of Keira's cousins did, If I have to be stuck inside for longer than a few days - I am going to have a nervous breakdown.
I just want a break!!!
