I know. I have totally neglected this blog as I went off and made my own happiness. I apologize. I'll try to be better.
Today was a really crappy day from the beginning. From BEFORE the beginning. Up with Little Man for hours during the night and then both of us waking up with a cold. No fun to start out what you know will be a very long day with a sick, grouchy boy, especially when you too are sick and grouchy.
Well, after a tough morning, I was about to quit. Did not want to do this mother thing for the rest of the day. I tried to take a nap when the Squirt did but just couldn't. I'm not good at falling asleep when I am unhappy. So an hour later we were both up again and I put on my brave face and we left for a walk.
And my wonderful neighbors walked out just as I did with their adorable little girl just months older than Nathan. We were soon joined by another apartment friend and her 2 cute girls and we wandered the complex for an hour in the gorgeous weather. Just when we were going to turn in, our other good friend dropped by with her 2 little boys and we played outside for another hour.
It seriously saved us. We went from crazy grumpy to energetic and smiling.
I love to smile.
And friends make smiling all that much easier.
Thanks friends.
