I don’t want to complain.
Just know there’s things I want to complain about, but I won’t.
I will tell you that Cody GOT! A! JOB! for the summer. And I think that means I can now tell you that I secretly hid and complained about this whole process last fall. I will also tell you that he made it onto the Executive Board for Law Review. He explained his duties to me but all I heard was “I’m going to be very busy next year blah blah.”
I have wonderful friends both in the computer and down the street. The medication I’ve started taking seems to be doing it’s job (this is a first for me). I’m not out of the dark yet, but I’m definitely moving forward.
It may even be sunny today for the first time in weeks.
BRING ON THE VITAMIN D.
The last time I did this it really lifted my wintry spirits.
I want to hear the best thing that happened to you over the last week. Anything at all. Brag it up. Even if it was only a perfect piece of toast, I want to know about it.
Thanks.

I’ve been, what is it you call it, lurking, around your site for a week or so (thanks Auntie Nettie!) and because I can be a bit obsessive, I read a TON of your posts last night. LOVE it.
If you have time, check me out….I am a former lawyer. now SAHM of 4…..
anyway, best thing that happened this week~my 3 younger children napped, simultaneously, yesterday. While it snowed, I just puttered around, read a magazine and waited for them to wake up. Which they did, 2 hours later. BLISS.

My oldest son lost his first tooth, it was very, very exciting around here last night when he just walked into the bathroom and yanked it out. With blood dripping down his chin he gave me the best cheesy, toothless grin. We have come a long way from the moment I saw that same tooth popping through the gums when he was only 6 months old. I was so proud of how brave he was when he saw the blood.

Best thing in my prev. week tied to worst thing: worst = bad hand injury, temporarily lost use of couple fingers (basically only have one working hand for time being, cannot handwrite or type well – IN THE MIDDLE OF THE FINAL TERM OF MY 1st YR IN UNIVERSITY!!). Best thing = law student husband LESS busy than me right now (don’t hate me – at least u have 2 working hands!) and he is cooking, cleaning, and hooking and unhooking my bra for me daily.

Congratulations to Cody. When in Law School my husband and his friend were both selected to write for the Law Review. When they realized the work that it entailed they decided it would cut into their video gaming time and decided to play Sega Soccer instead. Not recommending this…but just sharing.

Casey, I have felt right with you throughout your latest issues. I’m so glad you’re feeling – at least a little – better.
My week has kind of sucked – a lot, so reading these comments has cheered me up a little, too. Best thing that has happened to me all week? Although I just miscarried, I found my 2 year old is even cooler and more compassionate than I orginally thought (I already knew she was amazing). She caught me crying one evening, came up to me with a big hug, some pats on the back, and asked, “Mommy, what is wrong? hmmm???” We spent the night cuddling, reading, and eating Ben and Jerry’s! There’s nothing like Green Eggs and Ham with a little “Half-Baked” and a cute snuggler to make you feel better.

I had a fabulous thing happen this week… I finished our taxes and we are finally getting a return. (clapping and cheering) We spent almost $15,000 last year in fertility treatments so it seems only appropriate that we get $1500 back on our taxes. That is the first return we’ve gotten in years.

Jobs are super! I know when my husband was doing his internships it was wonderful to have the money! Yeah paycheck! Now that he’s started his first year at a law firm, I think I’d take a less stressed out husband and give up SOME of the money. The stress from school just changes once they start work. But I’m not complaining either.

Okay, this is going to sound silly, but the best thing that happened to me recently is that my daughter slept in the same bed as me. I know, right? But this is the child who never, and I mean from BIRTH never could fall asleep unless she was by herself. I had never, ever co-slept with this child until last weekend at my SIL’s wedding, when she sobbed at the sight of the Pack N Play in the hotel room and begged to sleep with me in the big bed. And she DID! I fell asleep with my hand cupping her sweet curly head, listening to her breathe, and it was wonderful.
Congrats to your hubby on the job and on making Law Review!
