For about a month now I have been happier than ever. Scary happy. Like even my threats to punch people in the throat have significantly decreased. (I did, however, threaten to stab someone in the eye with my high heel last week. But that was an extreme case. Obvi) I have been feeling like there are constant hearts and glitter and sunshine floating above my head. It is a little surreal. But I am soaking it all up like a sponge in my sink full of dishes. Needless to say, life has been changing at the Holmes household. And in a good way for once!!
One of the changes has been trying to get Bowen to sleep in his own bed through the whole night. I take the blame for him sleeping with me. I did start this habit. And I don't actually regret it. Either way, the change has begun. The first night I put Bowen in his own bed he cried. And told me I was the worst mom in the world. (I get that quite often) So it was a rough night and he ended up in my bed around midnight. Second night was not that bad, no tears, but he still ended up in my bed. Then he slept until 5am on his own! With the hall light on...and my bedroom door shut. Either way, it was a pretty big success in my eyes. So we have been doing this for about a week now and last night he slept ALL night in his own bed. Again with the hall light on and my bedroom door shut. BUT great success!!! We'll see how he does the rest of this week, but I have to say, we are off to a pretty decent start.
Other changes include...me shaving my legs on a regular basis, I have started painting (I suck, but it is kind of fun), and a generally less cynical and hateful outlook on life. Like I said, folks, big changes around the Holmes household!!
Anyways, since my bff has told me she misses Bitter Sarah and I make her puke in her mouth a little bit from all the sweet happiness radiating from my once lost soul, I will spare you all more details. But let's cheers our chocolate milk...or whatever you are sipping on...to getting Bowen to sleep in his big boy bed and maybe, just maybe, the hope that his mom can have a big boy in her bed soon! ;-)
