fter having a bit of a sook all morning about my little girl and my beautiful man jetting off, I decided to build a bridge and get over it – at least just long enough to snap a self portrait.
I was so wound up this morning when I woke that I found it hard to breathe. I was on the brink of an anxiety attack. I’ve never had one before, but I image that would be what it was like. I’m so silly. I don’t know why. I love my own company, and pre-baby could happily spend time alone. I craved it. I still crave it now.
I feel fine now. Drained, but fine. How was your day today?
beautiful self portrait… and by the way… im liking your hair around your face! it looks remarkably blonde, not a strip to be seen…
the day they leave is hard but you will feel better tomorrow when you have some you time and you do something you love, maybe something thats long forgotten? something dear to your heart???

Hello,
Beautiful beautiful self portrait!!
First day is always the hardest. I just read on your twitter 'I love you poo' from your delicious girl!
Very cute 🙂
Love
Belinda x
Make the most of your time and they'll be back before you know it!
You look beautiful! xx
I'm all by my lonesome away from the family too. The reduced responsibility is great but when the house makes funny noises I'm not so sure
Goodbyes always bring lots of tears. Hope you settle into enjoying the time without your family.
My 'baby boy' (who is now 5 and started school 2 weeks ago!) is suffering from croup at the moment. We made a visit to the GP this afternoon, he's taken his first dose of medication tonight. Croup is worse at night, particularly during the wee hours, I'm hoping he rests well and sleeps peacefully.
Great photo too!
What an emotional day for you today. Big hugs and glad to hear you're feeling better.
Today has been busy. Morning coffee with a friend, lunch with another friend and now cooking a special dinner for Daddy BuBbles to celebrate 15 years together today. *Sigh* I feel so old 🙂
@rowe: Ah yes. A little overexposure will do wonders. 😉 I've adjusted to it a little more now.
@Belinda: Yes, I hope tomorrow is easier. Thank you. xx
@Kelly: Yes, and I'll be wishing for more 'me' time. xx
@Jane: Thank you. xx
@Pixel: Ah yes! Thanks for the reminder!
@LifeAndTheMemoirs: I hope he gets better ASAP! xx
@Bubbles: Awww. Happy Anniversary. xx
Gorgeous photo Chantelle. Well done for your increasing bravery. I look forward to the day when it's a raw shot – you will get there!! And hey what a mixed bag of feelings, right? I'm sure this will be a real journey for you for the next few days. Thinking of you x
You look gorgeous – I'm so glad you are feeling better now.
I'm not having a good day 🙁 – but hope tomorrow will be better.
You Look beautiful. =]
I know what you mean. I miss my time alone since having my bubba, but I tend to freak out when hubby and squish aren't around.
Then I relax a little and get over it!!
Ah, gorgeous! I love your self-portraits. Of course, it helps that you're so pretty 🙂
I remember when Bushki was just a few weeks old, and Pat had to go to New Zealand for a week, for work. I was pretty terrified, as in those early days we thought we had to wait until she was exhausted to put her to sleep. I was up until 2am every night. Hehe. How little we knew 😉
pretty pretty!!!
I hope tomorrow is a better day for you! 🙂
Dear Chantelle. Ooohhh I love your hair in this one – very nice do.
GORGEOUS LADY! X
