Something good & something bad.

[vanillacourage]

This was DS1's valentine's card to me (kept meaning to take a pic)



(Translation: I love my mom so much I could kiss her.  Love, Eli)  (heart)

At first I was like, "huh, 'I could kiss you', that's a weird phrase for a 5 year old to come up with, wonder where he heard it...?"

Yeah.

Anyone else want to share their good & bad for the day?

[countthestars]

I LOVE your valentine And I'm sad that those kids were mean to your DS

Good for me: I am off tomorrow - this was the shortest week ever! Loves it.
Bad: We are out of coffee creamer. Also we have SO MUCH SNOW. We're supposed to get freezing rain tonight so tomorrow might be an icy nightmare.

[Brie]

Good: It's Thursday and we have a lazy weekend ahead. Also, there is a soul food luncheon at work today that is always super delicious.

Bad: I had to sign two incident reports at DC yesterday. C got bitten twice--once on the arm, and it left a dark bruise, and once on his back, that didn't bleed but did break the top layer of skin. These twins in his class are seriously crazy aggressive.

[water*drop]

That Valentine is great. I'm sorry kids were mean to your DS.

Good for me: I managed to get a lot of work done before DD got up this morning.

Bad for me: The sucky weather means I've been trapped on the treadmill for the past couple of months. I have no motivation on the treadmill and have been skipping runs constantly, cutting the runs I manage to do short, and going super slow. My spring race season starts in 9 weeks, and I had big hopes for them...but now I think I'm going to have to accept that they're not going to be great. I'm so frustrated with myself about it, but that didn't stop me from cutting my run short again today.

Good: DS slept from 10-7:20 without waking to eat.

Bad: I fed DS this morning and then pumped because it had been a long time since he had eaten and now I'm engorged and in so much pain. I don't pump at work because I go home to feed him during lunch. I have 2.5 hours left and I can't concentrate on anything other than my rock hard boobs.

Good: my H is flying home from his business trip today!

Bad: DS is teething and we were up from 3-5 this morning.

[AmyRI]

Omg, vanillacourage. Your DS is precious. And just rage. I have no other coping mechanisms for that.

Good: Daycare's rescheduled Valentine's party is tonight. I'm excited because they put a lot of effort into this one and are having a photographer there to take family photos. I'm so bad at making time and appointments for photos, and this lady is really good, so I'm psyched.

Bad: DD was up 5 times last night and up for the day at 5:15. Yawn.

[Deleted]

Good: My H did all the night wake ups last night.

Bad: I've been spotting every fucking day this month. It's my second month on my bc, so I know that's the reason, but still. ANNOYING.

[teacup]

good: I get to slack at work today
bad: I am at work today

[dbsk8dance]

The good.
Dd is in love with DS's anywhere chair. She climbs up and then snuggles in. It's the cutest damn thing.

The bad.
I kicked a wall on Tuesday and I'm still trying to figure out if I should go to the dr.

[moopoint17]

Good: Today was the first day DS didn't cry when I told him he had to go to school this morning. And he didn't cry during drop off.

Bad: Too bad today's his last day of school this week. I'm sure we'll go back to the crying fits on Tuesday. But hopefully they won't be so bad.

That valentines day card is awesome!


Good: My kid is finally walking (yes this is still super exciting to me 3 days later). Also suppose to be 60 degrees this weekend. Going into the city on Saturday to see our friends and walk around. I love their neighborhood.  Also, M is such an amazing kid when he is sick.  Nothing phases him.  He is just his happy go lucky self.  Love this kid so much.

Bad: Some of my staff are making me crazy. They are technically good at their jobs (for the most part) but I swear it is like dealing with highschool kids. The stupid petty crap. It is really making me not want to come to work. I just want them to do ther jobs.


water*drop  I am with you on the treadmill thing.  I have to watch a TV show on my phone while runningto keep me motivated.  I normally stream something.  Can you do that?  I know at least it keeps me on there for 45 mintues.

[gogadgetgo]

Good: the boys slept until 6:15 today. Yay sleep!

Bad: today is the first day of ds1's toddler class and it coincides with ds2's early nap. I hope I don't have a total meltdown baby on my hands.

[matildasun]

Good: M is really pleasant today. It is sunny out and we went to play in the remaining bits of snow, and he had a blast.

Bad: My nana is dying, and I am not there. Also, I feel guilty, because she has had dementia for a long time, so I am relieved for her that she is dying. I said my goodbyes a long time ago, and I have missed her for a really long time. She never truly understood that I got married and had kids. I am so conflicted about how I feel and it sucks. I feel really bad for my mom, who is having a really difficult time with all of this.

Sorry for dumping all my feelings in this thread.

[pugz]

Good: my kid sleeps awesome

Bad: my pugs do not. They like to puke in the middle of the night, i blame table scraps from the baby. Also I am getting a cold

[havarti]

Good: I have tomorrow off.
Bad: I'm doing our taxes.

[turtlegirl]

Good: preschool tour and play date today. Hopefully the kids will be really worn our and nap well this afternoon

Bad: my parents are putting our 15 year old dog down this weekend. His health is really going downhill. We got him when I was 14, so I'm going to be sad.

Yeah, I do that...it's really just a motivation issue on my part because I end up walking (which is stupid because it just means I'm stuck there longer), so suddenly 7 miles turns into "5 would actually probably be okay," and that turns into "5 is going to take too long now, so I guess I'll have to make due with 3." UGH. I normally don't have this much trouble with motivation, but this winter I have been struggling SO MUCH.

[longtimenopost]

Good: I think we've got DD down to two naps which means I don't have to stress about getting her to nap right when I get home from work.

Bad: I have an offsite retreat all day tomorrow. I have to leave an hour early to get there in time, I'll probably have to pump in my car all day, and there will likely be yummy treats I can't have since DD is mspi. boo.

Hugs. We are in a similar situation with my grandma. When she is clear headed, she talks about wanting to go take care of my DD1 who died in 2012. She is ready, but relief is a strange thing to feel about death.

leonard131, I am so happy for you that he's walking

good: as of this morning, I'm down 7.5 pounds - 1/3 of what I hope to lose.

bad: can't really think of much. spending $3k on plane tickets yesterday made me want to puke.
