Perhaps "life difficulty" would be more appropriate as a description for what's going on right now, but as far as my blog goes I'm having technical issues. Yesterday I pulled the trigger on starting to switch blog life over to my new self hosted wordpress blog, and then things imploded. There's a problem with my web host, but we haven't figured out what. The result being that I can't even see my new blog on our internet connection, let alone manage it.
That sinking feeling that accompanied making the scary leap of messing with my blog and maybe screwing it all up, that was pretty awful. My bloglovin feed has already been switched over to the new site too, because the support team there is really fast and helpful. UGH.
Because of a general life funk, plus uncertainty about my blog situation lately, I haven't even wanted to sew anything. Which isn't helping anything because it's one of my major outlets when things feel weird. And things feel weird.
Sudden dismay struck yesterday too when I realized how close Valentines day was, and how I'd still not planned or executed anything for my best friend/husband. Sickness, injuries, parenting frustration, and lack of sleep (for us and our kids not sleeping well) have all conspired to keep us from spending much time snuggling up and being our normal version of us: gross and smoochy and prone to PDA.
I feel like there's been too much personal whining over here, and not enough sharing of fun creative things, but I always appreciate the personal posts on other creative blogs. Maybe I'm brewing a major creative burst inside of my gloomy cloud over here.
So..... Girl Like The Stormy Sea is about to tackle some upcoming projects, attempt to enjoy the kids without unreasonable expectations for interaction with small humans, and dream up some nerdy expressions of love for my husband. But first maybe I'll get out of my pajamas and finish my coffee.
oh holy hell... that's what the last two weeks have been like here too. two separate bouts of sick children, one very sick dog, absurd stress levels, changing k's meds (b/c the first one we've been on for a while made her bitchy, to say the least), and i'm sure other things i'm suppressing at the moment. i tried to help the girls make boxes to put their school valentines in last night and it nearly ended with screaming. plus i haven't really sewn anything b/c i wanted to in something like forever. so all this is to say, i'm with you. and it has to pass. it always does. glad we're hanging in there together ;) lol XO
ReplyDeleteIt must be something in the air! As you know from IG I've been SO sick, things round here have been tough too. I always appreciate the honest posts more than the happy, perfect, amazing, my life is one big ball of confetti - type ones - its more realistic and it makes me feel better knowing other people have the same things to go through as I do, I'm not a failure after all! Chin up, you're doing great, and the kids looks super happy :-)
ReplyDeleteLove how real you are! It makes the rest of us feel less alone:)
