This morning our sidewalks were extra icy. Steve is very innovative and because we didn't have any ice melting salt to pour on the sidewalk he took our tub of margarita salt instead. So much for Cinco De Mayo this year, but then again, no drinking for me anyway!
On to other news, I've been feeling extremely overwhelmed lately. Just realizing that in 6 short months I'll have a child to care for is really starting to hit me. I feel so inadequate. On Friday, we babysat Lily (who is just a month old) and I got a good dose of reality.
I am thrilled to be having a baby, but sometimes I can't help but feel completely overwhelmed when I get to thinking and wondering about how we're going to provide for a child and what kind of parents we will be. From what I hear these are pretty normal feelings, but somehow that doesn't bring me any comfort and I'm still scared to death.
It doesn't help that things are miserable at Steve's work (which will soon be our only source of income). He's been under a lot of stress and has been working 12 hour days just to get everything done and it still doesn't seem to satisfy his boss that he's doing enough. I get so sad when I see my husband under so much stress at work because I know life isn't much better for him at home since he's been picking up so much of my slack. I am so grateful that he has a job and through that good health insurance for our family, but I just wish there was something I could do to make his life a little easier.
Okay, enough of my Debbie Downer attitude. I know it's all about perspective and I'm praying that mine will change soon.
