I am normally a very happy person. Seriously. Giddy and full of laughter and silly and romantic and talkative. I am a fun person to be around. I promise

Hubby pointed out to me all the great times I've had over the past three weeks...and there have been plenty of laughs and good times.
He summed it up best when he said, "You have been searching any nearby clouds for rain lately." That pins it right there.
Things are just as awesome in my life as they usually are, I'm just being more negative. It's different for me.
I don't like it.
I think you're right about the time off. Unfortunately, because of company changes we don't get much at Christmas this year, and that will be spent running around, I fear.
*hugs you tightly* You're allowed to have down days/phases, Barbara, everyone does, and you shouldn't feel bad about feeling that way or for crying.
You're tired and still recovering from the flu and it sounds like both you and your hubby need some R&R to really, truly get over it and get back on your feet. It's easy to let the little things get you down when you're not well/depressed/feeling down anyway, and then you get into a vicious downward cycle.
*more hugs* I hope you get the chance to relax and truly unwind sometime soon, and are able to enjoy yourself over the holidays.
Thinking about you, and sending you my love and best wishes. xx
It was much warmer out today, so my workday was actually enjoyable. (Despite the fact that I should have been off work and was covering for a vacation for a coworker that I really don't like...)
Went to a Christmas party tonight with some of the ladies from my church. We had a good time. I skipped supper, tho, and ate too many rich snacks at the party. (Hello, cheese ball...)
Anyhow, I'm feeling much better today.
I really need to get this house cleaned this weekend. That could help!
First the practical advice- try taking a vitamin D for a while and see if it helps level your moods out. The change in the seasons can play havoc on your system and I've found this to be helpful. It also boosts your immune system which is always good.
Second, HUGE BEAR HUG on the baby thing. I know exactly how that feels and this time of year isn't the greatest for not being reminded of it. Just try and focus on your friends and family and the simple things that bring you joy at the holidays.
You're totally entitled to cry and let things get to you when there are things actually wrong. For one thing, you're recovering from illness, and that's going to really get you down. For another, your husband is sick too - not a great situation for either of you.
And I'm sorry to hear you haven't been able to conceive... I can't even imagine how horrible that is (since the closest thing I can imagine to it is not being allowed to have pets). But that's a huge thing to have as a part of your life, and you're allowed to be upset about it. <3
If you ever need to talk, you know you can always message me. Love ya lots. *cuddles*
I usually keep a pretty good attitude about it, but when it gets me down it's pretty hard to bounce back from. It doesn't help that I have this amazing imagination with which I've imagined about every scenario in regards to babies. Everyone says, "It'll happen when you stop thinking about it." And when exactly is that? My brain is ALWAYS working.
Anyhow, thanks for the comment! I'm feeling much better today.

Don't feel guilty about crying. You're exhausted, Sweetie. *pets*
The flu takes it out of you both physically and mentally. It sounds like you haven't had a chance to recuperate.
You both need to take a couple of days off as soon as you can. relax and don't do one blessed thing, unless you really enjoy doing it.

Great suggestion on the vitamin D. I think I'll pick some up this weekend. I do often get this way during the darker months of the year. Good call!
Thanks for the support! I'm usually okay with it, but sometimes it just smacks me in the face.
