Little Things that make Me smile January 9, 2007
Posted by spacemom in : Life...otherwise, Kids, Depression, I dream of sleep, In A Family Way , trackbackI started a post on Sunday. About how life sucked and how I sucked and all sorts of depressing shit.
I never posted it. I stopped and realized that we have managed to reduce the absolute negative attack of depression to 2 days this month. Yesterday, I was much better. Today, good, but still stressed. I see my doctor today.
So instead of being all bitchy and depressive, I am going to touch on the brighter things of this weekend:
- Luna coming up and humping my leg while Soleil grabbed the other. Jay was right there, but both girls wanted me, Mommy.
- Soleil telling me "I have a present for you" then turning around, looking for something, finding a hairbrush on a table she then hands it to me and says "A present, just because I love you"
- Asking Luna to try potty and tripping over the potty chair in the master bath because Soleil wanted her to use the "mommydaddy bathroom"
- Having friends over who have a 2 .5 and a 6 month old and reminding myself that we are SO past that stage.
- Being able to chat to a new friend on the phone while the kids played.
- Watching the rain
- Taking the girls ice skating for the first time and seeing that they can actually sort of do it!
- Watching hockey on an HD broadcast on our new TV
- Going to the Cheesecake Factory and getting takeout just so a friend and I could eat it at Starbucks.
- Sleeping in until 9:15 on Sunday
- Watching the girls play as if they are on a ship. Then laughing when I realize they are on the Carpathia, rescuing people from the Titanic.
- Inhaling COLD air in January and wondering when the snow will fly
- Getting my stupid PAP done for another year
- Thinking about Hawai’i in another few months.
- Thinking about Florida in another few weeks!
- Having Luna kiss me and hug me tight and whisper "I love you mommy" in my ear
- Knowing that this damned depression does pass…
