The past few months have been better, but for a while I was really struggling with a lot of stuff. It still comes and goes, but I think it will always be that way to some extent. I don&#8217;t really talk about this a lot, just to a few people, but for all intents and purpose I am childless not by choice. Can&#8217;t really say what caused it, neither I or hubby have ever been tested for anything.\u00a0 For various reasons we never pursued any testing or intervention. Adoption was not for us either.<\/p>\n<p>So here I am, without kids. I never in a million years would have imagined that would be me, and it is really hard for me to deal with sometimes. I spend time reading various things online, trying to be happy with my life the way it is. But the stupidest things can come up and knock me for a loop. A week or two ago, I was looking at some comments on a friend&#8217;s Facebook page. One of the profile photos looked familiar, and after looking at that person&#8217;s page, I realized that I know her husband through a group that my husband belongs to, and that I had met her at a party. I texted my friend to ask her how she knew this person, and she writes back &#8220;from my mommy&#8217;s group.&#8221; For some reason that just really hit me hard. Why does she get to be a mommy, and I didn&#8217;t??<\/p>\n<p>I just try to pick myself up over and over again and remind myself that although it has not turned out the way I visualized, I don&#8217;t have a bad life. Actually it is a good life, a lot better than a lot of other people have.<\/p>\n<p>So, that is some of the stuff that has been swirling around in my head. I will try to get to some fun crafty posts in the next day or two.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Life just seems to get in the way of the fun things sometimes.
