Why no one should make major life decisions in February

Okay, I shouldn’t say “no one”…there is the tiniest possibility that your dream to hop a flight to France and start a new life is completely legitimate.

But it is way more likely that you are just fanticizing about getting the heck outta here, because this is a dumpy time of year.

Now, I’m not going to look up statistics or even google any real facts. Because I’m grumpy and tired. But if you are thinking of making any major life decisions right now or even if you are judging the success or your life or truly “thinking deeply” about anything at all…I must ask you to reconsider! I am not a doctor of any kind, but I believe that Seasonal Affect Disorder is quite common in varying degrees of seriousness.

The past few weeks, I’ve had several mood swings. For the first half of the day, I FEEL LIKE I CAN DO ANYTHING! then-anytime after 3pm-I transform into a total Mombie (which is a word I made up. Its a Mom that feels like a Zombie).

Yesterday, I was woken from a nightmare that I was crammed in the basement of a monastery during World War II. Some of my fellow refugees and I were hallowing out our mattresses in case we needed to hide our kids in there. Lucky for me, Sam woke up at 2am to crawl in bed with us.

I barely even minded that, with the four of us, my head landed between the two pillows. It was just good to be back in reality and safe with my family.

Sorry this is kinda choppy, I am unable to smooth out my points as someone is screaming something about a Snack in my general direction. But my basic point is this, try not to ruminate about your life this time of year. Come spring, everything will be bright again 🙂

Also, feel free to laugh about this: I did not even know what the word “ruminate” meant until I saw it written multiple times in some paperwork my college counselor(s) wrote about me.
