It’s no secret that the past week+ has been rather tough.

Pity party list…
-shattered iPhone screen
-Miles starts daycare for the first time
-Miles doesn’t fit in at a day care (stress and tears ensue… on my part)
-I question my ability as a parent and wonder if I’ve already failed
-Mike attempts to replace shattered iPhone screen and phone is out of commission for several days… feel as if I have lost contact with the world
-Decide to pull Miles out of his daycare and look for one that is a better fit

There were a LOT of tears from me over the past week… what can I say, I cry when I’m hyper emotional.

There was a LOT of decisions and stress in the past week. But we’ve made it. We’re not in a perfect schedule and routine place yet but today was a good day.

End of pity party list…
-Mike finally got my iPhone back in working order… with a new pretty non-shattered screen. +100 husband points!
-Miles starts at a new daycare. Drop off goes well. Comfort level with it being the right place for him is high. Teacher seems great. Get a good midday and end of day report. He’s totally pooped out which means he had a whole lot of fun today. He is officially asleep at 7:57 PM.
-Additional carseat purchased for Mike’s car so that no stress over musical car seat for new daycare.
-Had awesome burgers on the grill courtesy of chef husband.
-Super nice co-worker delivered a large iced coffee to my desk.
-Heard from my 41 week pregnant SIL that all is still well and we will continue to wait for my soon-to-arrive niece.

Thanks for all your nice comments and tweets over the past week.

I try to always realize that I live a great life with so many many blessings but sometimes life is still challenging to work through.

So here, on the first day of summer, I declare that the past shitty week can go to hell and yay for summer 2012!

What are you looking forward to this summer?
