I am feeling a bit sorry for myself today. Its nothing specific, just a number of small things that have added up. Top of the list is the fact that my favourute neighbours moved to another village yesterday. They are just such lovely people and ideal to have next door. Everyone in the house liked them, especially icarus who would eat, sleep and play at theirs as often as he did here. I am sure the new neighbours will be fine, but it won't be the same. Irregardless, I do love where we live. Over time, we have gotten to know so many of the people in the village. I chat to them when we are out and about and they all know kevin and the dog. Lately I have had itchy feet to move as the house is really too small for the 5 of us, but then I think about the people here and the location and I just can't bear to go somewhere else...not to mention the astronomical house prices in the UK. I do have to admit that since having the baby, I have been pretty homesick. I keep thinking about what it would be like to move back, what we would do, where we would live. Its a silly thought, really. I mean there is no home to go back to...who knows where my mom and Bill will end up with her work, my siblings are spread all over and my friends are so far flung. I do wonder though... Ellis' crying is really getting me down as well. He was doing so well on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, but yesterday and today have been pretty full on. I am desperate to just enjoy him, but its not easy when he whinges and cries all day long. I try everything, but very little seems to work. I am of the opinion he's not got colic, but is a high-need baby. He just needs lots of cuddles, distraction and stimulation. Sorry, I didn't mean to write another depressing post. I'm actually not that much of a misery-guts--I just like to whinge as much as my son.
