As we were getting ready to place our order, I hadn't notice there was some business cards right in Benjamin's reach. You guessed it. He dropped the entire stack of cards everywhere. Thalia! My mom exclaimed as if it was my fault. This is when my imaginary stress meter went up just a tiny bit. Once we got our plates, as you can see in the picture, they pile of the shaved ice/gelato was pretty damn high! Also as you can see, Ben was already poking the deliciousness with his spoon. Of course, his poking made the already leaning part completely fall off and just land everywhere on the table. Great. As I was digging in my diaper bag for some wipes, Ben had to play around with the mess he already made. I looked at my parents and it was like I wasn't even there! I mean don't get me wrong, Benjamin is totally not their responsibility but hello he's making a mess! My stress meter went up just a little bit more. After desert, my parents wanted to pass by The Home Depot to get some plants. I like Home Depot and looking for plants seemed really relaxing especially since I've been wanting to get some succulents and herbs for our home. Yesterday I had a good bad day. I know that that is a complete oxymoron but it's seriously the way it felt! Has anyone else had those bad good days? Those days in which everything is going well but for some reason you're just not "feeling it"? Well, it has been happening to me A LOT lately, and yesterday it all started out like this: It had been a while since I woke up before Ben, and yesterday I finally did! I took much advantage and did my make up and got ready for the day. When he woke up, we watched his cartoons and had a yummy bowl of cereal because I just didn't feel like cooking. I was scared that Ben would just flip the bowl all over the carpet but to my surprise he enjoyed every bite! It was even so cute how he drank his milk from the bowl. After breakfast, I somewhat cleaned up and got him ready for the day and I did the bed. Our usual morning routine. I put some of his favorite phonics songs and we played with his toys. Even though the morning was off to a good start, I still felt so....egh. I decided to call my mom to see how she was doing and she said she had made some meatballs and asked if I wanted to go over. Of course I said yes! When we got there, we had our meatballs and waited for my dad to get ready so we could go out to get some dessert. There was this little spot around the corner in China Town called NuCafe that serves asian goodies and gelato that I had been dying to try out. So we went. I still felt all egh. And yes, I was still feeling egh. Why was this nasty feeling just not going away? And I know that it has been there ever since Alberto got a new job. It sometimes appears and sometimes it's not there at all. Am I in a mommy funk?
Luckily, the Home Depot trip was a success, but my stress meter was still where it was. When we headed back to my parents, Benjamin fell outside and scraped his knees. I washed them, bandaged them and kissed them. Of course though, he had to take off the bandages. He'll be fine, I reassured myself even though the cut on his right knee was pretty deep. After some play time we grandpa, we went outside and played with some rocks and some water. All in all, the day was great! We had lunch with his grandparents, we went out for desset, we got some plants, we played with rocks by the pond. The day was filled with activities so why did it feel like a good yet bad day? I think sometimes as a stay at home mom, we go through these funks, especially if we don't have a car and are limited to activities outside of home which can lead to some serious cabin fever. Sometimes we are filled with stress from our husbands always being at work and coming home to obviously relax and not helping as much as they should. Sometimes being a mom is just really hard and frustrating! Today however, I told myself Today WILL be a good day! And it was! I woke up before Ben once again and did my make up and watched a couple YouTube videos. One video that made me feel completely normal for being in a funk or being frustrated in general was this parody video from WhatsUpMoms. It's to the point and the lyrics are hilarious! I hope any mommy that's been stressed or in a funk can watch this and enjoy it as much as I did! xoxo Comments are closed.
