Stressful day today...things are not going my way, and my first reaction is to run to food. So I came here instead. Because you guys are so awesome you make my heart hurt! And if my fingers are busy typing about your awesomeness, they can't be cramming food into my mouth. Actually, they probably could...I have a gift for multi-tasking when there's food involved.
Something good though - today my 9 year old son played in the Peel Music Festival for his grade one piano, and he rocked it! I was so ridiculously proud of him! While he was walking up on stage, my mind totally flashed back to his birth (he was 10lbs 6oz, vaginal, and I remember it VIVIDLY!! Yes I AM a superhero!) and ran his whole life up to this point...and I totally cried! NONE of the other mommies cried! What is wrong with them?? Are they made of stone?? Their kids are going to be serial killers, for sure, but not mine because he knows I was the proudest!
Nothing beats being proud of your child. That is so awesome!
ReplyDeleteI hope the stress stops and everything starts going your way! It's a beautiful day somewhere. Not here in Houston...but it's got to be somewhere. :)
Hang in there...a new day will always come!
How lovely, I would have cried too.
ReplyDeleteMy babies were 10.3 and 11.8! Thankfully I had c-sections, I just can't imagine babies that size coming out of any part of my body! You are indeed a superhero!
I cried just reading you telling about it. My daughter has her spring choral concert tomorrow night - it's her last one in elementary school so I'll be taking a box of kleenex with me.
ReplyDeleteAre the dead people giving you shit? OOOOH, you know what you should do? You should make a vlog about what you do at your job! If it's boring, just lie!
ReplyDeletehahahah
kidding. but I love yous and hope your day gets better!
:) what a wonderful mommy you are! Yes I agree with Amy a VLOG about what you do!!
ReplyDeleteDude - YOU having a bad day? Nu-uh. I can't imagine it - you're just too....um.....Gilly-like. It's like a mood - Gilly-like - and it's always good and happy and smile-y and goofy. But fine - if you say you're having a bad day then fine - blog away - we're here to listen and we love us some Gilly! Smooches.
ReplyDeleteIts so bitter sweet. They need us so much in the beginning and then all of the sudden they don't. I would think that sometimes your job would be the best-they don't talk back!!
ReplyDeleteHow can parents NOT be all gushy? When my 6 year old sang in the christmas pagent, I was all beaming and so proud that she memorized all the words to a song from "The Polar Express" You would have thought she was on American Idol :)
ReplyDeleteI'm in the same boat...I am as hungry as a three headed horse, so rather than eat, I am commenting on everyone's blogs and drinking my water! :)
I love it that you cried! I would have done the same!! :)
ReplyDeleteAww..you are such a good mom. I'm with you on the crying. Pride *always* makes me cry. It's so bittersweet. They are growing up. And you know me, I want to keep them small so I can cary them around in my purse. Ah well....poop.
ReplyDeleteI hope you are feeling better!
Gilly, you are such a fabulous mom. And your son will ALWAYS remember that you were the only mom crying today. He'll act like he's embarrassed... for a long time... but he'll ALWAYS know how MUCH you love him.
ReplyDeleteSo sweet about your son's recital. Hope the stressful things go away soon.
ReplyDelete10 lbs...what! You really are a superhero Gilly. I think it is very touching that you cried.
ReplyDeleteAww Gilly, those concerts always get me too. I went to my son's kindergarten concert last May, the day after I got out of the hospital from having my daughter. I SOBBED through the concert. Like, hysterically. People stared. My mom finally leaned over and suggested I go to the ladies' room to pull myself together.
ReplyDeleteI almost cried reading about watching your son play at the music festival. I would have definitely cried had it been my daughter up there! What are they, Stepford Wives?
ReplyDeleteI cry (at least I still get teary eyed remembering back to when my dad used to come watch my chorus group sing (crying his eyes out watching me))!
Just saw your comments on Joey's blog. You need to go into medicine for saving Joey's life! You were right and I'm glad she saw her doc today. I think I would have listened to you too because you used CAPS! You'll have to post about your superhuman skills across the internet. That's why you get the superwoman cool pic for your blog.
ReplyDeleteAwwwww! My son is going to be 9 years old this month - I would totally lose it to see him doing something like that. I can only imagine how very proud you are! Oh you made me laugh! And thanks so much for the comment on my blog. I'm really trying with the clean foods thing. keeps me away from sliders!
ReplyDeleteMy children were 10 lbs., 3oz., and 10 lbs. even. I had them vaginally, as well. Can I be Robin to your Batman? :)
ReplyDelete(OF COURSE I would have cried, aren't children wonderful?!?!)
