I have been a big grump-ball lately and Bryan has been awesome in putting up with me.
I think paddling has been wearing me out. I love it in the moment but come home too tired to do anything but sit on the couch. And that makes for a messy house. Which makes me even grumpier. I'm also in a move-funk. No friends, no comfortable places. Adds to the grumpiness.
The picture illustrates it nicely. Here I am on the couch after too much wine and bowling. The house is a mess - see everything on the floor? I look nice and sweet but watch out! Because I soon fell asleep and when I was woken by Bryan encouraging me to go to bed I was terribly mean to him and told him to "leave me alone!" And it doesn't stop there. He patiently puts up with me every day.
Tonight I resolve to clean the house and be nice.
By the way - the polaroids on the floor? From our going away party in SF. I finally made them into artwork last night. They'll be hung in the hallway tonight. All your happy faces to greet us everyday!

Grumpy Brian one night, and grumpy Jenni the next -ahhhhhhhhhhhh- this is too much for a mom to hear - I raised sweet and smiley children - what has happened?!

I've been having the same grumpiness. I some times suprise myself at missing philadelphia...not the place, but my friends. We have in NO way settled here. Haven't found "our" places....haven't really gotten into any type of groove. To top it off our house seems to be in a never-ending state of unfinishedness. (Our lawn has been dirt all summer....only now are we starting to make it a lawn). I just have to keep reminding myself that I lived in Philly for 8 years...and it took a long while to actually get to that "comfort" level. Just hang in there! I know I will! ;)
