a much needed break/a not needed illness

this weekend was so great! Our little family got to take a break and travel to farson, wy for a baby blessing in the family. it was so good to get out! and the best part was that wayne and i actually had time to talk like we used to and just be best friends again :) that's all we needed and now things are great again! so i guess the busyness of our lives was the problem because it didn't leave enough time for us to be best friends.

there was one bad part this weekend though...saturday morning (before we left) we awoke to find claira sick with a very stuffy head cold. so we got her into the doctor and luckily he didn't think she was showing signs of RSV so we didn't have to take a trip to the hospital. instead he put her on meds to treat the suspected ear ache and sent us on our way. she's getting better little by little, but it's definitely a long process.
and then on sunday to top it all off i started getting sick with her cold and man is it miserable! i feel so bad she has to go through this being only 3 weeks old. and then not too surprisingly (because this cold was/is obviously catching) wayne started coming down with symptoms sunday night. so now we are all in bed trying to recover.

emotional

Am I a drama queen? I think very much on the emotional side of the brain. Is it because of my theatre training? or am i just an emotional person? lately wayne and i have been having a hard time; is it that we're purposely hurting each other, do we not know how to communicate well anymore, is life too stressful, did we make some wrong choices, can we not understand each others emotions, do we not truely care enough anymore, or is it just a symptom of these 6 weeks of post-partum and how annoying that is? Well, whatever it is  know it's not permanent, but it's still really annoying. i hate that we upset each other and dont listen very well right now. i miss my best friend and emotional support. maybe life is just way too stressful to be healthy right now... but what can be changed? i don't think there is anything that we control that can be changed without changing our goals and dreams. that being said, i guess we choose this.
