I didn't tell anyone I wasn...I didn't cope. I didn't tell anyone I wasn't coping. I drew on a big smile with make up and appeared to be coping but inside I was falling apart. I don't know why we do that... <br /><br />It does get better.

But having said that, the baby is well again today and at nursery and I'm getting some work done on my own here in the house, so in a way me time is exactly what I'm getting right now, and it feels lovely. But since you posted this I've been contemplating a night away somewhere, just me on my own, and think I've thought of a way it could happen. The good thing about the plan I have in my head is that it's a movable feast - it could happen any time at the drop of a hat (as long as my partner, the baby's dad, is willing - but he's good like that so probably will be), so I don't have to worry about arranging it for a specific date and then having all my plans ruined yet again by one of those Unpredictable Parenting Events.<br /><br />Debi and Flowerpot, God, I'm so pleased you said other people don't cope either. Of course I know it must be true really, but it's horribly easy to believe otherwise.Beleaguered Squirrelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13699493386984083561noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4537116561703209878.post-28499273386137644382009-06-12T11:29:29.642+01:002009-06-12T11:29:29.642+01:00I don't know that anyone copes in those situat...I don't know that anyone copes in those situations. It's just that once it's over, we don't tend to remember the really bad times with such unnerving clarity. HOpe you get some sleep soon - I know all too well what that awful dragging depression is like.
