Highs? Lows?

High- Setting up the Christmas tree with DW. and looking at Xmas lights.

Low: Getting a kidney infection. Saying bye to Julie til Jan 5. Going to this huge 5 acre dog park, that isn't fenced in, and my dog being so confused and scared by the set up that she runs off into the woods terrified. Her tail was between her legs and she was running from me too. Finally, I stopped chasing her turned around and she came around the corner long enough for me grab her. I was scared I'd never catch her.

Highs: Listening to the kids laugh so hard at Home Alone. Full, deep belly laughs. Lots of hugs and kisses from my boys. Watching Scandal (I love that show.) The weather being warm enough the week before Christmas that the kids could play outside.

Lows: finally watching news coverage last night and realizing it was a first grade classroom, just like my kids. And seeing all of those kids on the screen could have been my kids' friends. Grayson's behavior and my reaction to it was less than stellar on Sunday morning.

Lows - queasiness and fatigue, especially past noon until bedtime
Highs - my wife's regular check-ins about how I'm doing, offers to bring me stuff, a fully stocked kitchen and the ability to nap

High - hugging jelly bean at daycare pick up on Friday.

Low - everything that happened Friday. I really couldn't get too far without crying or thinking of those families.

Low: L had a stomach flu all last week. Throwing up and barely moving. Zucchini's stealing. We cleared everything from her room. We thought we might need to use respite care.

High: zucchini handled her room clearing very well, i think its a fresh start.

L is feeling better and i am not single parenting anymore now i hope i can get ready for christmas!

High: Annies excitment for Christmas and her visit to Santa.

Low: Have had some really rough times emotionally lately. Too much stress and not enough time in my life have led some dark places. trying to get past it and into the new year.

Low: That fiasco yesterday. The christmas party last night where I drank and tried to pretend to be ok but finally stopped smiling and couldn't pretend anymore.

High: Well, yesterdays fiasco opened the table for major discussion and we resolved one issue on our own.

Low: The shadow of the tragedy on Friday. Every time it came up, I felt sick. Another low was actually getting sick - food poisoning from Saturday's dinner which ruined our fun plans for Saturday night. Also, stepping on a dead rat - GROSS. My bus to NY being delayed. And my unstoppable coughing fit. Oh, and having to run after the bus as it started to pull away because I am an idiot and forgot to get my suitcase from underneath. The bus driver was a total jerk about it too.

Highs: The above makes it sound like I had a terrible weekend, but I really didn't! Other than those moments, it was great! Amazing food (aside from that one dinner...), fun times with friends, and I got to an art piece by one of my fave artists at the MET. It was a wonderful break from the norm, and I am so glad I went.

Lol. Highlight of my day was my trip to wally world tonight to get a little food. I see this lady with the most awesome knee high boots ever, and so I walk as fast as I can to catch up to her. Catch her on the next isle over and say "excuse me. I LOVE those awesome boots! where did you get them?", probably all wide-eyed excited like a little kid thinking "ooooh ooooh tell me tell me". She just looked at me for a second then smirked. "Old Navy". I said thanks and skirted off. She gave me a bit of a funny look as I was at the register as she walked by out the store, lol.
Oh and this was all in guy mode, HAHA. Was just funny, but now I gotta go find those boots.
