I was still feeling pretty bummed this morning, but I didn’t want to let it get to me. Thankfully, the kids were adorable and decently agreeable. I mean, Rowan is struggling with the cold we all have/had, and he’s working pretty hard on his bottom teeth, so he’s got his reasons, thats for sure. But really, the kids were pretty user friendly today. I was able to do dishes and visit with them while they ate, and that took up a decent amount of time.
As the afternoon wore on, I realized I had been chewing away at my nails, unbeknownst to me, and had done quite a number on them :/ I have always been a nail biter, but I’ve gotten better over the years, and have had it pretty under control specifically since Rowan’s birth. But my goodness, I have a few rough ones now 🙁 They already ache so much with that very specific ache that only nail biters can understand. It hurts to type this, I’ll tell you that.
So while the kids played, I fooled around with some crocheting I’m fiddling with and a pattern I’m tweaking. Not only do I like crocheting already, but it kept my hands busy so I wasn’t chewing away at my poor fingers. I also texted a friend of mine, who was able to calm me down a bit and talk me off a ledge. Its funny, as she is a brand new friend, but she was very understanding and encouraging. I don’t know if you read this, considering I’ve known you for less than a week, lol, but if you do, you know who you are 🙂 Much appreciated.
That lovely friend of mine has ordered me to basically go drown my sorrows in chocolate or something equally as delicious. I’m thinking nachos wish salsa and sour cream, and chocolate. Thats following the rules, right? Sounds right to me!
