I feel sort of zombie-ish right now. I fell asleep right after we put the bug down this evening. Woke up with my face buried in my cat’s uber soft, warm coat of fur. Does wonders for the sinuses, let me tell you.

If you had a chance to read my post over at the WaPo, you’ll see that the comment section has taken on a life of its own. Some I found very helpful in the fact that I know I’m not alone in my fears and struggles and others, well, lets just say there are some “interesting” points of views out there. I would love to direct feedback to all of them but some just don’t warrant any kind of recognition in my opinion. Plus, I’m just too darn tired! I did leave my own comment that is now buried somewhere in the list letting people know that I appreciate their insight and that the “others” just don’t bother me. I’ve been blogging for long enough to know that you write for yourself, not for anyone else. I’m not a perfect parent and if there are people out there who think they are, then I feel sorry for them.

Hopefully tomorrow, hump day, will prove to be more productive on the home front. I’m easing my way back in, little by little. I’m definitely coming to some realizations now that I’m back to work and at some point, I’m sure I’ll elaborate more. Right now, I’m just trying to keep my head above the rising tides.

Disney World, I just can’t wait to get to you! You might be just the safe haven that I need right now. Thank goodness my husband is so understanding and encouraging. I just hope that I don’t confuse the bug even more by going away again so soon but if I want to be the cool, calm and collected mom that I long to be, then some time away to clear my head just might be what I need at this point.
