Mmmmmm Mexican and margaritas. I wants!

[staryb]

I'm watching the Pirates game and drinking beer but I want something more exciting. I think I'll be stopping by the liquor store in the near future.

I'm not caught up with randoms at all. I'm gonna go drink with friends tonight. DH will have dd all night. I'm praying I have some self control and don't get too wasted so I'm not hung over in the AM.

Edit- words hard

ETA the second time that I'm also feeling a little guilty about going out all night to drink. I know it's fine. Mommy guilt is such a stupid botch though.

You deserve some time to yourself. Have a good time!

It's a blue moon kind of evening. All the talk about cider really made me want one of those instead.

You DO deserve time for yourself, but it is hard to really enjoy it when you have to pump and check in and not get drunk. Try to set a goal of not thinking about the guilt for at least an hour. I'm so jealous! I tried to do a girls day a couple weeks ago and it was a bust. I could really use it!
ETA: also remember that DD will be sleeping most of the time!

Thanks lads. It is hard when you still have to pump. But, I know it will be worth it. And I have been wanting a night out and am glad I'm getting it in before I go back to work.

What's up, friend? Not that I oppose you drowning your sorrows, but sorrow shared is sorrow divided.

Just had a crappy day at work. I had a lot of sick patients and nothing seemed to go right today. And then I feel sad that I work so much and I feel like I barely see DS. It hit me hard today when I got home and he preferred my mom to me.

Where is sweetsurprise?

That's heavy stuff. And solidarity. I am beyond, beyond blessed that I work so little that I'm quite sure DS sees me enough, but I'm ramping it up and starting to wonder what amount is right for us. I was in a real funk last week about work because all my cases were in the shitter, too. It's hard to feel like I don't work enough and yet to be more successful at work, I have to give up some time with DS.
It seems like a couple drinks and a couple days change everything. Hang in there pal.

I love my job and what I do, but some days are really hard. I'm so lucky to have a flexible schedule, but I am full time and work 50 hours a week. I'm able to have days off during the week but every other day I don't see DS at all. I'm missing out on so much and he's getting so big so fast

[swise22]

Aaaaand enough with the being sad. Back to drinking.

I heart Jimmy Fallon.

[apk4]

I'm sorry I've been MIA. I've definitely been dealing with some depression issues and I don't want to be a Debbie downer. So I've been trying to focus on J, work, and my H. I think I need to find a new therapist, but I really don't have time.

You're not a Debbie Downer! I feel like it would be hard to find a different therapist. I wouldn't feel comfortable asking co-workers for a recommendation. As a professional who deals with confidences, though, I would SO much rather refer a client who didn't feel like I was the right fit than risk their outcomes because of my ego. You should ask your therapist for a referral to someone they would send their loved one to. If they rebuff, it's an even bigger sign they aren't the right person to help you.

I quit seeing mine a few months ago because she told me my anxiety was sleep deprivation related and I should put J in his room for 12 hours and ignore him. So I quit going
