There are days that you would be prefer to be written out of your life… I am sure everyone knows what I mean, but nobody likes to talk about it. As a blogger (I still find it weird calling myself that), I have a window to you where I show what I wear, and all kinds of fashion related excitement I go through. However, I realised that the pages that are rather dark, the ones that are occurring once or twice a year, I tend to leave out… Why? Well, first of all, why would I bother you with it? Second, the reason for my dark page is not always something you can rely to. Third, my blog is fun, and why would I spoil that? On the other hand though, I give you an inside in my life via my blog, and it would simply be unrealistic to pretend that it’s always fun and play. So here is the thing… and please, if you don’t want to be bothered by my sobbing story, stop reading here…
My little James was quite ill over the last week. As mentioned before, it was not at all life threatening, but it was bad enough to have at least 6 sleepless nights (and then I mean really not getting more than 3 hours). And let me tell you one thing, not sleeping makes a person go mad. I am not exaggerating, I am talking from experience now. I mean, when you just have a baby, you know you will wake up every 3 to 4 hours at night to feed him or her, but when a baby is ill, nothing is said in stone, so you go to bed with the knowledge you will probably have to get out soon to settle the little one again. That thought made me terrified of the night… and the more sleepless nights, the deeper I sank. Seriously, it goes like that. You can’t put things in perspective anymore, and most of all, you worry. Hence, we went to his doctor, and within one second it was clear he had a pretty bad ear infection. Something very common with little ones, but hello, I am a rookie here! Anyway, he got some medicine, and after one day already James turned from a sad little cutie back into his active naughty and cute self. And then the night came, or better said, the morning that Thomas and I realised that we had slept ALL NIGHT! Trust me, that can mean the world to you.
Amazing! I thought all was back to normal, until tiredness hit me again. You know, that thing that happens when you sleep as much as you need, and then all the tiredness comes out… This happened on Saturday, when Cammy and I were doing our outfit photos, which was fun, until I saw the results… I cried. I hated myself, I looked so tired and I disgusted my outfits… but what I didn’t realise was, that I was about to turn this dark page, cause ss soon as I got into bed, around 8pm, closed my eyes and…. Woke up the next morning. The sun filled the room with brightness, the dark page was turned. The sleep deprived Charlotte was gone! Hence, I dared to look at my photos again, and I realised that besides the fact that you can see my socks (sorry for that, but I wear socks when it is around 4 degrees outside) I definitely liked my pictures and decided to share them with you. Hope you can appreciate the brightness in this look, and the realness of my story.
