sj, the mere fact that you worry about those things shows how good a mother you are.
Bar maid! Bring me stronger ale! And some plump, succulent babies to eat!

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Oh sj, I promise you it would be surprising if you weren't suffering with these thoughts. It is natural, and no fun. You are a wonderful loving mom and your daughter and husband are blessed to have you in their lives.

Today is not going well. ltc woke up cranky. A gallon of water launched itself off the counter when no one was in the room and spilled all over the slippery tile floor. It's a high pain day and a bad allergy day. It's probably going to rain, which would mean no farmers market. I really need to shower instead of nap while ltc sleeps, but I'm filled with the don't wannas.

Can you take a really quick shower and then nap?
Also you are a great mother.

I'm sorry. I didn't mean to have a meltdown and flounce off. I ended up taking a nap anyway because there didn't feel like there was any other choice. As soon as I heard her start to stir, I jumped in the shower. She ended up going back to sleep when I didn't come in immediately. She needed the extra sleep anyway because she's teething and is a crank monster. Thessaly came over and brought me birthday prezzies, a Jane Austen coloring book and chocolate, because she's awesome like that. We went to a different farmers market and I bought some goodies. Now I'm home with what feels like the start of a migraine, and TCG made me a grilled cheese for dinner.

Oh, nice prezzies! And grilled cheese is always a win.

Nice prezzies!
You did not flounce off. You practiced self care.

My stomach has been not right on and off for weeks, which I firmly believe is affecting my mood. Tonight it is definitely not right and I could barely eat the delicious meal TCG made.

TCG's step-aunt C passed away last night. She was a wonderful woman and way too young.

I'm so sorry for your family's loss, sj.
