The minute we became parents our entire focus on the world changed. My BS meter is on overdrive.The stuff they think is news worthy just blows my mind. I get so frustrated that I almost can't watch it and when it's sad it makes me cry. Which is a post Lincoln development. We are also thinking more about the future than we ever have. What kind of car to get (we currently have a car that is close to dead), college, retirement, our savings.... The list can really go on forever. Now that I am out of a job and we are living on one income, money is on the top of the freak out list... I wish things could be easy, but news flash everybody it's not easy. Don't let anybody fool you and tell you that you can go through life without a struggle. This is the crap that makes you stronger.. right?? I know I write how everything is just great and things are going smoothly, but a lot of times I feel like we are crashing and burning. I know things could be much worse and I am very grateful and blessed for what I do have. It's just really hard sometimes. Sorry for the pity party, I just needed to get that off my chest...
Lincoln is now teething and it has made our lives miserable. Maybe this is why I am being so negative lately... I hate that he is in so much pain and I can't do much to help him. My neighbor informed us that babies are not totally mentally with it so the pain from teething does not make them go bat shit crazy. I totally believe it. Why can't the parents be kinda in and out so we don't go crazy trying to sooth our poor sweet babies.
Happy first Fathers Day Jarrod. I know I am a little late on this, but I wanted to get it in there. :)
We had our first bout of an infectious decease, Hand foot and mouth. Unfortunately, I think I am the culprit that started the epidemic. The internet says that you can get it from anywhere, shopping carts, door handles, etc.. It also said that adults get it, but usually don't know they have it, and if it's on the internet it has to be true.. haha.. Keep in mind it ran through all of us and Jarrod got it the worst. So the whole adult thing I think is iffy. We are all cured and feeling much better. Fingers crossed that we will never see it again. Only in a perfect world.
I apologize for all the negativity. I'm over it now. When things get tough I just look at this wonderful little face and everything seems to fall into place.
My happy place.
