All the tears.

I can proudly say I smiled when we left E at daycare the first day. I was so excited for her and just knew she would enjoy being there. All the tears that I thought would have followed leaving E at daycare, for the VERY first time, didn't arrive until we tried to put her to bed last night. Without a bottle. When it comes to weaning E from the bottle, that she loves so much, I am doomed. 

I refuse to rehash the events of those awful, horrible, very sad 30 minutes. I would end up a sobbing mess if I did. I'll just say, E takes a bottle to fall asleep, still. However, 30 minutes of torture led me to research how exactly we should wean her from the bottle. I know it is going to take some work but I think I found a processes that will work better for all of us. I have decided cold turkey is not the way. 

Once our little bottle lover was finally dreaming R and I cuddled on the couch and watched a really good movie, which is all I really needed. The movie had me crying not once, not twice, but five (maybe more) times, which I really didn't need. But, 'Stuck in Love,' was a good flick. It's a story about family, real life situations and love. I recommend it. 

By the time I called it a night my eyes were ready to close. It was probably one of the most dramatic nights we've had in awhile. Or at least I have. When the tears start, they just don't stop for this mama. Here's to less tears, less drama and more sleep for The Millers. 

Keep Loving. 

No funk, no shopping. Christmas Movie instead.

I am so glad today was not Monday. I'm sure that sounds strange but I was in such a funk yesterday. I couldn't snap out of it either. But I'm leaving that behind me because, luckily today was a brand new day. Today turned out pretty darn good.

I really enjoyed work today. It was full of research and design, a little bit of prospecting and stuffing envelopes. It was all enjoyable. The not so interesting things are a great way to give my brain (and eyes) a rest. You really can stare at a computer too long.

I'm so excited about the current project I dove into today. It's been in the back of my mind for awhile and I finally got my feet wet, then jumped into the redesign. I can't wait to see the end result, which is one of my favorite parts of the entire process.

I was hoping to make it to Holland for crafting supplies. I promised M we would do crafts during our Wednesday visit. But, because our evenings go by so quickly we decided against going to the craft store and headed home instead. I plan on digging through my supplies after E is sleeping. Once I start searching I know I'll think of something. M will love whatever we do.

It's a night for a Christmas movie! I'm excited. I am not doing a very good job watching as many holiday flicks as I can. This will be #3. I gotta get a move on! Yet, there is 22 days till Christmas and 21 till our Christmas with M.

I can't wait!

Keep Loving.
