Jeff and I say that when we are feeling down. And for some reason, I am feeling down. Down about my life. Down about the current status of my life. Down about my prospects in life. Down about my accomplishments, or lack thereof. Down about my hopes and dreams, mostly due to the fact that I don't know what the heck they are.
When I am feeling down it does NOT help to read other people's blogs. You would think it would, because then I could be inspired by all of the joy and happiness that seems to be in everyone's lives. You would think that I would be mature enough to be happy for other people, and then I would feel better, but I guess I am just not that mature. When I am feeling down, I want everyone else in the world to feel down too. Is that too much to ask?
I just want to go home and sleep. I want to drift off into lala land and not wake up. Dreams are always better than real life, except...when they are not. For example the other night I had a dream that I was abducted by an Asian gang and that one of the gang members almost put my hand through an industrial paper shreader. I guess my life right now is better than that dream...
Oh, the other night after the Office I was watching a show called The Community. I don't think that I liked it all that much, but there were some funny parts. Like for instance a conversation that went something like:
girl: "If you really loved your son you would let him follow his dreams!"
dad (in an Indian accent): "Dreams are for sleeping!"
girl: "You don't know that!"
dad (in an Indian accent): "It's been clinically proven!"
I don't know why I found that conversation so hilarious, but I did. Maybe because it was the stupidest conversation ever recorded.
Anyway, when I go home tonight I am going to put all (3) of my Halloween decorations up. And then I am going to make some more. I am thinking of doing all of these:
Super cool, huh?

I will be in the pits of despair with you, k?
I think we all have those thoughts, concerns, worries, etc. Maybe that's why books and tv are so popular with us humans, we can escape reality for a while. Or, we can put up Halloween decorations :)
I have days like that too. Sometimes I feel like a total loser that's done nothing with my life. And for some reason I think that having a baby is the only way to fix that hahaha I'm not allowed to have one yet though... so then I get sad again. It's a vicious cycle! But seriously, I think that you're awesome and I've always thought that you were one of the smartest and most talented people I know, so cheer up :)
PS- those are all cute Halloween ideas!
I think that people feel like they're in the pits and they do not blog about them. so...you're not alone. Plus- I think those Halloween decos are way cute and Halloween should make everybody feel better.
I love the little tree with the witch ornaments and the pumpkins with the twinkle lights! So cool! I love you Steph. There is no reason that you should be in a black pit of despair if you know that I love you! :)
I'll be on the lookout for a cute Halloween trinket to hopefully cast a little light into the black pit of despair. I know how much you love Halloween!
p.s. other peoples' happy blogs depress me too sometimes. they often leave me feeling like a sub-par mom. i need to work on the not comparing...
Maybe there should be some rules about this: 2 out of 3 blog posts should be truthful and reflect the "black pit of despair" we are truly in. I'm in that "pit" more often than I care to be, so I feel for ya. Halloween decorations like those pictures would cheer me up, or not. :O)
I knew those were Martha Stewart because I want to do those too. It's okay if you feel down, because if you do, just read my blog and you'll realize how much I feel down about me too
Steph I had been feeling like that for MONTHS! I will tell you about it when you come to visit. It isnt something I want to blog about. However I love reading your posts because I realize that people just have moments like that. However the fall is here and my feelings are changing daily. I love it!!
I'm glad it's not just me that struggles reading the happy blogging life of others! "oh man, why can't I be an awesome, well-rounded momma like___? or why can't I be as outgoing and cute as Stephanie?!" I don't want you to feel bad but reading this was kinda good for me after an ugly, despairing day when I'm not really liking myself or life! People usually only blog their best moments which isn't real life. If it makes you feel better I'll do a post showing the incredibly messy desk I'm currently buried under or the horrible things I said to my kids today or a pic of me with greasy hair, glasses and pjs all day or the mound of dishes I've neglected in the kitchen (hmmm maybe I should get off the computer and get to work here).
