My Ex-H called me today to come for a visit tomorrow. He said he hasn't seen my DD in a while (he is not her father). I told my friend this and she just cracked up laughing considering all that has gone down between us. It is strange, but I decided awhile back that it takes too much energy to hate someone, especially someone you used to be in love with.
Good for you. Not many people are mature enough to feel that way. You only hurt yourself by carrying around that much hate. You are setting a great example for your LO.

I'm going to AW my DH: Of all the Valentine's gifts I've ever received, I think the one I got today might be the best. DH took me to lunch at a place we've been meaning to try for ages. He arranged for the neighbor to watch DS - all worked out great and food was yum! I fed DS his dinner and bottle, then....
DH sent me to the mall and Target.
By myself.
While he watched DS.
I was gone for three hours. Bought 4 tops, a pair of pants and a cart full of fun stuff from Target (most of which was on the list).
When I got home DS was bathed, in his jammies and sleepsack and almost asleep.
For me, despite it being a busy business day for us, the best valentine gift was when my boyfriend was trying to convince me to get the $10 tray of chocolate covered strawberries (total rip off in my opinion, haha) and he made me stop and look at him in the middle of the crowded grocery store, so he could tell me to my face that he didn't care how expensive they were, they were a "nice thing" and I deserved nice things, did I know that?
This is something I struggle with, and I rarely allow myself to want, let alone buy, non-necessities, so the reminder almost made me cry right there. It was just an unexpected sweetness, especially since I have had an exceptionally crabby couple of days.
I am not much for holidays, but this was a good one.
I woke up at 1am vomiting. It's now almost 1015 and I've not stopped vomiting. I really, really, really hope DS doesn't get this on top of his upper respiratory and ear infections. Thankfully DH is stepping up and taking care of DS for me.
We went to the Apple Store in the mall to fix my phone and then I got some stuff at White House black market and limited. I got two pairs of dress pants at limited for $35 together. They were on clearance. Whmb I got a dress, jeans, and a pair of dress pants. I had been refusing to buy clothes because I can squeeze into my old ones but I realized I'm not losing weight and need to get something decent for the time being. We got pizza and I made brownies. Now I just got up for the day since DH watched Lo this am.

becole - I went outlet shopping (and non - outlet shopping - oops) in Miami, and realized that I want to lose weight. Up until now I had made zero effort to lose weight and I was totally fine with my body and happy with my life; but trying on certain things I wanted to buy and seeing how bad it looked on my body, made me realize I need to make a serious effort to get healthy and in shape. I still bought all the new clothes in my current size though - double oops.

I should seriously start doing something. I am still eating like I'm pregnant.
