Me Time

Since my ovulation this week, I have been pretty relaxed, enjoying this me time.

I think it also has to do with the fact that for the first time in a while, there are no family (kids) events going on, and we are going to DC this weekend and visiting our friends-- all kid-free. I wish we could stay longer and not come back to the three nieces' birthday parties we have this summer... I hate kid events right now. I know it's horrible, but I feel like such an outsider these days being in the presence of other mothers, like there's something wrong with me-- and I know that's my issue, but it still sucks.

So, any chance I have now to avoid these outings is really a blessing.

Anyway, just looking forward to a stress-free weekend, and after that it will be back to taking it one day at a time. What choice do I have?

I have this new thing where if I'm in the presence of a pregnant woman (there are so many in this part of Manhattan!) I say a little prayer asking G-d to rub some of that pregnancy dust on to me. It's better than feeling bitter and jealous, right?

One day at a time... One day a time... now waiting for the dryer to finish, and will go and beautify myself and get a manicure and pedicure, it's been too long. I love days off like this.
