good day.
Posted on | March 8, 2010 | 15 Comments
you know when life gets you down? all at once? and you feel like screaming and crying and eating a pie and hooking up a wine iv and then eating a pasta & cheese mountain and yelling obscenities at old defenseless people and puppies and almost for a second doubting that unicorns exsist?
yeah, me either.
that was not me last week at all. i wasn’t totally sick, dealing with a sick baby toddler, and almost sick husband. i wasn’t. i was not at all tired, mopey, anxious, annoyed, cursing my neighbor, or eating everything in sight by methodically going back and forth between salty and sweet (cadbury egg – popcorn. ice cream – chips. jelly beans – pasta with bacon) (OMG i just gained 6 pounds typing that). i absolutely did not cry because my throat hurt again for the millionth time this season and i most certainly did not tweet about how miserable i was for days.
in no way did i get my first snarky comment on my little old blog (I HAVE ARRIVED!) and figure out it’s probably someone i know. i also totes didn’t cry rocking my fevered sick kid in the middle of the night while she was gulping for air through her stuffy nose. i did not nearly go blind for a second with rage when the cat barfed immediately after i vacuumed and then pushed the nursery door open moments later at the very beginning of nap time.
EXCEPT FOR THAT I DID.
i did do all those things. last week blew the big one. last night i went to bed hoping this week would be better. monday didn’t fail me. thank you monday!
today i awoke feeling much better healthwise, and so did H. we enjoyed breakfast together and she even snuggled with me on the couch. i was able to blog during her nap (did you enter the giveaway? did you? DID YOU?) and she even sat still for piggy tails. we drew on her magnadoodle and played with her new bff, a red balloon the guy at the jiffy lube gave her yesterday (that sadly, is going to make the big night night any second – hims gonna die). scot decided he was going to go play the drums after work so i called my mom to see if she wanted the monster for a few hours. she picked her up after work and i? ran myself a hot bath, poured a glass of white and marinated in my own happiness. a very good day. exactly what i needed.
thank you monday.
post summary: last week can go fall of a bridge. the forecast for this week however is awesome with a side of BOOYAH. note to self: buy red balloons.

proudly sporting my super mama cape since 2008. i like to craft, eat noodles, tweet like mad, and long for more time with my handsome husband. i'm simply trying to navigate through the early years and come out on the other side with a kid who doesn't repeat words i use in the car. wish me luck.

You’ve gotta laugh that your first ever snarky comment came from someone you knew…at least it came last week and didn’t ruin an otherwise good day!
So glad you’re feeling better this week…and I have to say that Harper looks soooo cute in her balloon pic and new bicycle shirt. Does she realize what’s on the shirt…and how awesome her mom is for snagging it for her??

I’m so jealous of your wine in the bathtub. That sounds so awesome! We’ve had a HORRIBLE winter filled with every sickness imaginable. I can NOT wait for spring to finally get here so we can be outside.
I’m glad you and H are feeling better!!

Yay for a new week! And wine, in the bath, with the kid and the hubby gone. Sometimes you just need a little alone time, right?

Balloons make everything right. Glad you’re feeling better. Snarky comments? Who cares, you’re super awesome and they don’t know anything.

It sucks to hear that you got some hate-mail. I guess that’s just part of the job… but still… Glad you guys are feeling better. How cute is Harper in her little onesie? love!

layla…i need to read up on the link you wrote. very sad though.
on a lighter note:
you are so funny. never killed a unicorn widget cracked me up, but pretty sure it’s because it’s 1:30 am and i need to be in bed, but instead i sit here at my mac and click link to link looking for a great blog! i try to do that once every few months.
wine with bubble bath…divine!
