I Am It!

To catch you all up... Audrey is napping. She is still not quite herself. Yesterday we were at Grandma's before I had to go to work. This was a bit of a bad idea since Audrey's refusal to eat while we were there caused my mom to constantly infer that the problem was an absence of milk rather than a teething issue. I became sick with paranoia. She ate fine when I got home from work, went to bed and slept all night. This morning when I put her down for her nap (after some persistant fussing) I called the La Leche League leader and expressed my concern. She reassured me that it did indeed sound like a teething issue rather than a no milk issue, stroked my ego by telling me I was doing a good job and am a good mother. I feel better.

The Mama tagged me so this is my post. It was harder than I initially thought it would be, but fun. To those of you I tagged, don't feel pressured just do it if you get the time. I tag because I love.

5 Things Game

What were you doing 10 years ago?
Ten years ago I had recently started my first hairstyling job in the local dirt mall. I had just been dumped by my high school sweetheart of 2 ½ years and was devastated because I thought I was going to marry him. I was swept off my feet by a man ten years my senior. I soon found out that he was permanently wounded by an ex-girlfriend and he was unable to get over it. I spent about 3 years trying to 'fix' him and left the relationship (and started dating my husband) with terrible self-esteem issues. My husband and I are still friends with him.
