I saw this cartoon today and it made me laugh. I have not blogged lately because I have been sucked into the world of winter blues. I wish it was as easy to snap out of as the above cartoon advises.Some of the reasons for the winter blues are in part due to the ridiculously cold weather we have been having. The other day I ran to the grocery store and tried to load my groceries without my gloves on and I am pretty sure I may have lost a finger or two because of it. HOWEVER tomorrow we are supposed to have record breaking temperatures and I am frantically trying to find a way to spend some time outside and enjoy it while we have it.
Reason number two: All of my friends have either just had a baby, are about to have a baby or just found out they are having a baby. Ok, so not ALL my friends but seriously a good number of them. The winter blues this brings me is in no way shape or form because I wish I was in their position. It has affected me in the way that things we used to be able to do we have not been doing as often. I also am feeling totally helpless! Several of my friends are in need of a helping hand and while I am doing my best and looking for ways I can help every chance I get I wish there was more I could do.
Long story short I need to "snap out of it", but you know when you are in such a funk and you think "Ok, I should call so and so and get together and invite them over....I just can't seem to make myself actually DO IT even though I know in the long run I am sure it would help.
So dear cute friends near and far. I worry for all of you. I miss all of you. I won't name names but M- You are an amazing woman and I pray for you all day. K- I hope you get good news this week and you MUST let me help you in some way. E- You are just too cute for being as prego as you are and we need to get together before you are on "lock down" as well. C- I SOOOOOO miss you. Times like these make me wish I was there to take your kids and rub your feet and be your labor coach!
Hang in there everyone and if anyone else out there has the "blues" call me and maybe I can get off my rear and "snap out of it"!

So... did your warm day help the winter blues? What did you do? I've kind of been in the same place - realizing I haven't been outside the whole day, etc. Just thinking about April helps though!
You should be getting a package though either today or tomorrow! = )
You are way too sweet! I miss my "normal" life and can't wait till spring!!! Hospital life is not even for the birds! Februrary stinks in MI!
I just love you! Thank you so much for thinking of me, and I can't wait until we can hang out! I have been feeling the same way--maybe we can help each other!
