Wishing For Happiness

Imagine if you will, things that bring you simple pleasures. Then imagine getting no pleasure from it even though you desperately want to.

I live for simple pleasures. A glass of sweet tea and a PBJ, a girly movie, silly time with my boys.

Sadly my other half gets no joy from anything. He would be sad at Disney World. He tries to be happy, it just takes an exhausting amount of work on his part.

How do I live with a blue man? Everyday is a struggle and his "make me happy purchases" are making us broke.

I need sanity, and my own happy. Everyday I do what I can to create happy for me and my babies.

I miss this smile being genuine...

Self Weaners

When boy was 15 months he crawled in my lap and contemplated nursing, and decided he was done. No Baby Brother has done the same at 16 months.
I am sad and relieved at the same time. I miss nursing, the bonding, the closeness, and the cuddles. I love the fact, however, that he can spend the night at my sister's house so we can go for short weekend getaways.

I am thrilled that my babies got so much wonderful nutrition from me for so long! Proud nursing mom here!!
Maybe one day I can nurse another fantastic child...I can dream...right?
