i apologize for my little meltdown on Monday. i guess that happens to everyone once in a while. At least i hope i'm not insane :). i'm feeling a lot better today after a couple of better days. Charlotte pulled a child's hair today but nothing like on Monday (not malicious, they said), and no further biting, no hitting. Yay!
She's also eating a crapton! Tonight she shoveled BROCCOLI of all things into her mouth. i offered her steamed broccoli, steamed carrots (these 2 were a pre-processed organic meal since outside of adding ranch dressing i'm not much of a veggie seasoner), a plum, and about 1/2 a banana, and she actually preferred the broccoli! Very little spitting food out or dropping it on the floor. She ate all the fruit, almost all the broccoli (which was a cup of broccoli/carrots total!), and about 1/2 the carrots. This is a LOT of food, and no fussing or fighting, which is a huge relief. She ate a huge breakfast, too, of a veggie patty, blueberries, organic cheerios (Publix brand lol), and some yogurt. She didn't get a morning snack because of the size of breakfast plus she slept late. Lunch was spaghetti at school and she ate it ALL. Then for a snack she had veggie dog and some cheddar cheese cubes PLUS a few cracker sandwiches with sunbutter and pumpkin puree. Holy wow! This is great; maybe she's growing or even over the hump of the texture issues.
This weekend should be nice. We're taking Char to the Y's Parents Night Out which is monthly i think, and from 5-11 pm, which should give us time to go to dinner and a movie. Of course we won't stay out until 11 but it will still be fun :). AND my mother-in-law asked to babysit on Sunday so we may go out to another movie again. Yes, i will feel tremendous guilt, but since we haven't been out since Christmas, i'll just tell myself that we may not get to go out until Christmas again lol, so we'd better take advantage of it. She'll live, and we'll just go to a matinee on Sunday so she should only have 1 night of jacked up sleep because of it... hopefully. i would bet we'll see the Twilight movie one time, but not sure about the other. Suggestions?
So, like i said last time, i really don't know what to write about anymore and i feel pretty lame about it. Sorry if i check in less frequently...

Don't feel guilty about melting down (everyone has those moments!!!), or about having a few moments away from Charlotte. Your relationship with your husband needs to be strong and healthy so that you can be the best parents you can be. And that requires some time for just the 2 of you! Don't know what you should do with the blog, but I do know I enjoy reading it, and love your writing style, so I hope you don't stop. Are you no longer going to/ able to foster, now that you've adopted Charlotte?
ReplyDeleteOh, STOP! We all need to vent! It makes us all feel more human to see that others need to also! Thank you for sharing your human-ness semi-publicly! Hang in there the reality of the adoption is setting in now and TONS of emotions are flowing through you right now! Take it all in and keep bloggin'! P.S more pics? please?! LOL! we have all waited a year to meet her! (well, not really meet but, you know) Also if you need someone to talk to please feel free to e-mail me!
ReplyDeleteI suggest Toy Story 3. Fantastic movie.
