Battles:
- We have just completed Molar Teething Week #4. And I am so over it. I am so tired of my baby being in pain that I can't fix for him.
- Monday was a Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day. Napping did not occur. Screaming did. By the end of the day, both Miles and I were exhausted and needed a break from one another. Did it make me feel like a Bad Mommy? Yes. But, I would have felt like a Worse Mommy if I had lost my temper at Miles.
- Miles' nap schedule has been wonky this week. I only managed to get things done when I decided that he was going to have to sleep in between the errands I needed to run. I spent a lot of time sitting in the car in a parking lot, playing games on my phone, and waiting for him to wake up. But at least he slept, and I got a break, which was better than the alternative.
- Visa had another leak, which included our debit cards, so they were deactivated. I have been without a debit card all week, and it sucks.
- I had nine-bazillion things to accomplish this week. I have accomplished a grand total of three of them.
- Patrick has been incredibly supportive, even when all I want to do is scream. He has continually encouraged me to take a few minutes to myself, even when that means that he gives up his time to field Miles. I am the luckiest woman alive to have him.
- Even though he's in pain, Miles is still trying to be his up-beat, happy self. This week was full of frustration and screaming, but it also saw tons of snuggling. Plus: my first real hug from my son. Where he stood up, wrapped his arms around my neck, and held on for dear life. Best.Thing.Ever.
- The opportunity to perform again, and to portray a historical woman whom I have come to admire. History is filled with stories, and this woman had some great ones. I am honored to be chosen to share them this afternoon.
- Hot cocoa on cold nights.
- Tiny pea coats. For boys. That fit.
- Quiet moments alone with my husband.
