Fun! A present!

I have not been having the easiest time in certain areas of my life. Remarkably the cold turky pacifier event has resulted in only one 5 minute 2 a.m. wake up. T.D. is now back to sleeping through the night. She only seems to miss it a bit at nap time. Now she just sniffs her pink blanket a tad bit more. She's getting weird about that blanket, weird like, Producers/Matthew Broderick weird.

I think the adjustment to being at home has even gone well. It's the grousing of my daily frustrations I miss. Commiserating. I can't seem to find a way to do that. It's not like the other Mom's on my block are writers and know what that is like. Some days the only person I talk to beyond the age of one is H. It's getting to him. It's getting to us. We were heading down a slippery slope. Things were let's just say, edgy in our house the last few days or weeks. It was scary.

So imagine my surprise when KittenW sent me a present. I thought it was a birthday present for T.D. since she turned one only a week ago. Nope! Mine! All mine! It's a purse too! A darlingly cute purse from a Hawaiian swap meet. I was elated. I am elated. I love it! I can't wait to tote it around this spring/summer. Her note touched me saying she knew things were rough and to hang in there it would all be ok and she was thinking of me. It was an incredibly touching gesture that I am very thankful for. It made me look at the brighter things in life. Isn't it nice to know that someone is thinking of you and you don't even know it?



Thanks again KittenW!
