Post Party Depression

Original Post: March 10, 2009

So I have heard the terrible and sad stories about women that have Post Partum Depression after they have their baby. It sounds really, really awful and I hope no one I love and are close to have to deal with such a thing.

Not that this is anywhere close to that, but I'm pretty sure I have Post-Party Depression. Maybe not even depression, but Post-Party Sadness. Friday night it kind of hit me like a train that we had thrown this kick-ass party and had everyone we love in the same room and then we had an awesome couple of days to kick back and relax in Wilmington and then we got to get lots of really cool presents and stuff for the house and then it was 'Back to Life, Back to Reality'!! Yup, go ahead and sing that delicious En Vogue melody out loud! Tuesday we were blessed with a 3 hour delay, but Ja and I both talked about how long that day felt. Especially since we are both coaching right now and don't get to have as much time together as we did. Last work week crept by even though we were lucky enough to have a teacher workday on Friday. That day was last weeks saving grace!! This past weekend we were able to travel to Greenville and see some friends, but most of the weekend we worked and worked and worked. We had a house to organize, dogs to wash, thank you notes to write (and yes I want it to be known that Ja did most of them - I do have an incredible husband!), laundry to do, dishes to wash, and a trillion other things that overloaded a list for one day. Ja and I got on each others nerves and we got a serious dose of reality. We came down from our wedding high and had to deal with life, whether it gets in our way or not. I would love nothing better than to be able to just enjoy a few days of doing whatever I want to...but our time is coming. We have t-minus 32 days until we are on a plane to Vegas and we get to do just that for a week. We get to go where we want, when we want, and do whatever the hell we please!! Slot machines...check. Cirque de Soliel...check. Drankin'...check. Laying by the pool...check. Sight seeing...check. Getting tatted...sure, why not! We are going to be free as birds and I CANNOT WAIT!!!

Until then, I guess I'll just deal with life the best I can. It will be easier now that I have my amazing husband by my side!!
