It's Ok - even when it's not.

Holy time warp Batman, where did this week go? I had every intention on sharing some fun stories and helpful mommy knowledge this week but a few life-altering setbacks have well… set me back! I figured what better way to tell you about it than with the help of Neely and Amber’s Its Ok link up!?

 

It’s Ok…

… that if I didn’t know it before, I definitely know I never want to be a single mom.

… that my single mommy status had to be extended because Z was called for an extra day of shooting. For those of you who don’t remember, Z booked a role on the NBC show Revolution!

… that single mom life ends today because hubby is finally coming home!

… that after one of the most beautiful mornings we’ve had in a while, which I filled with a mommy-daughter walk around the neighborhood, I got food poisoning and spent most of the Oscars with my head in the toilet. Not to mention the rest of the night and next morning. Holy hell.

… that I think my daughter may eventually have a calling in the medical field because at only 14 months old she was patting me on the back and resting her head on me while I was hurling my brains out.

… that I bought what I thought was a great bedding set from a sale at Anna’s only to come home and find that the comforter doesn’t even cover the mattress on our guest bed. Later I learned that basically the whole world knew you buy a size up for comforters… and didn’t feel the need to tell me.

… that I made some delicious sausage, ricotta, and spinach ravioli FROM SCRATCH but after learning that it may have been the sausage that cause me to empty my stomach on Oscar night, I had to throw it all out. Thank goodness I didn’t give it to Keelin.

… that after welcoming Z home with a few nights of snuggling close by the fire I have every intention of leaving him on baby duty while I go out to see a movie solo. Mama needs a night out by herself.

… that I might tackle the next girl scout I see because I’m desperate to get my hands on at least one box of samoas and thin mints.

… that I’m feeling pretty blog-famous because the awesome Petersik family of Young House Love featured {and linked to} one of my headbands from theKeenBean in their daughter’s latest monthly fabric photo. If you recall from my book signing adventure, I gave them a custom-made headband.

… that I’ve never been more excited to get books in the mail than when I saw 4 out of the 5 Bradley Method Birthing Coach required reading books had arrived. WOOT.

… that I’m feeling really inspired to put a fire under a few projects now that I’m feeling like a human again!

Join in with the link up and share what is OK in your life!

Until next time…
