A Better Day

MY SON TOOK A NAP!!!!! Today we were back to the schedule that has worked beautifully for both of us for the last year. And I feel better! I took a nap too, and now feel like I have patience again. When I felt guilty for laying down too, I told myself that I will be a better mommy if I take a snooze. Very true. My son is playing with the box of wipes right now, and I am not yelling. I am letting him have fun; it's just not bothering me today. Course, I also have a 'Mom's Night Out' dinner tonight, so I think that's affecting my spirits too.

Hey Bev,

Sleep is a wonderful thing. I love to sleep or just lounge. I could sleep all day if I had the opportunity.
I'm glad Stephen took a nap for you. I always say positive stuff like we need sleep for energy and we feel better after a nap. This is a good excuse too.
Our family dr told us when she was a baby that when she sleeps I should sleep, so I took this to heart.

I am doing alright. It's downright cold here. They are calling for a wintry mix this weekend. I will be glad if it comes and blows over quickly. I can tolerate two or three winter days. It's funny us displaced yankee's complain so much about cold weather.
I do have one wool sweater that I look at and refuse to wear. It's psychology - I think it's not that cold.
The past two mornings I was cold at work. This is unusal since the Paxil Makes me warmer than normal.
TOday I wore a sweater and long sleeved tee shirt.

We have a casual dress code and I love it. SInce I don't plan on being a corporate banker for the rest of my life I don't give a crap. They don't write in my reviews that I wear sneakers everyday. The write stuff like, needs to handle more complex issues. What ever.
I know I complain alot. I don't have much else to write because work has been busy the past two days.

Chloe is still obessed with Chuck E. I cannot afford to put her in theraphy this early, honestly. Are you watching American Idol? I think it's kind stupid.
I never watch too many reality show's until they hit the midway point and the contestants are competing.

How cold is it there? How's the pregnancy going?
I am going to give it more time, since I still want to establish my med's. I feel like I have to accomodate two people in my life, Jennifer and the depression that is accompanying me. I know you understand.

Stay Warm,
Jen

Hi Bev!

I finally made it over to your blog to say hello and to thank you for your comments on my post re: wedding anniversary and my battle with PPD. I'm so glad you stopped by and I hope we can keep in touch. I hope to post more about my PPD and I feel I really only touched on it. It is unusual to find a blog where PPD is discussed; I know I was always searching for more info on it when I went through it. I wish I'd had my blog when I had Ryan 3 years ago, I'm sure blogging would have been very therapeutic.

I'm glad Steve took a nap for you! Ryan has pretty much given up his day naps :( but the up side is that he is more than ready for bed at night.

I'll be adding you to my blog list! Take care, hope your pregnancy is going really well.
