So, anyway...
Thank you for all the encouraging and sympathetic comments! I think that's just what I needed... everybody to feel sorry for me!
But before I start getting Paxil in the mail, rest assured, I am not depressed. I had to exaggerated a bit to make the post interesting. It's what artists do, you know? ;) Of course the last 5 weeks have not been like this permanently. Yes, I had some very bad days, and I am lacking sleep, but generally things are ok and definitely getting better - like all you experienced mom predicted.
Anyway, for a more realistic rundown read here.

How can you tell us things like that? We're really disappointed! Whom shall we give all our advice now?
Puh! Ich dachte schon, ich müsste dich auch noch bemitleiden! ;)
When I read your last post I thought you were being a bit tongue in cheek, hence my light reply. When I saw that everyone else didn't find what you had said humourous, I just felt horrible. How totally insensitive I had been! Eek!
In any case, I'm glad to hear that things are not so dire after all. But ya know, I totally appreciated your entry, as I felt the same way as well (and sometimes still do). :^)
actually, patty, i was making fun of my own situation a little. if it had really been that bad, i wouldn't have had the motivation to post anything.
so.. don't worry! ;)
:^)
BTW, I'm loving the pictures you have up of Veronika. What a beautiful baby she is!
