DAY 76 - Thursday, December 8, 2016 - 3 Good Things, Embedded & A Little Sadness

So, Jeff leaves for an entire week tomorrow. This makes me sad. He's my person and I feel better when he's around. The good news is that (1) my mother-in-law will be here. Her and I enjoy a lot of the same things, so she's really good company and I'm looking forward to having her here, especially when I would otherwise be on my own with the kids for the whole time Jeff is gone.

(2) My Mr. Grayson made a pee on the potty tonight. He got a smartie as a reward. He loves chocolate and he'll tell you so. I'm hoping that if he understands the concept of potty successes = rewards, he will be easy to train. He's a smart little guy, so I kind of think he does/will. We're going to attempt to potty train while I'm off for the week in between Christmas and New Years. Fingers crossed! It's crazy to me to think that a year from now, we likely won't have any diapers in our house anymore.

(3) The $80-ish dollars I ordered on Carter's last Scholastic came and the books are so cute. They will all be Christmas presents. New books for the kids make me happy.

Today was the boys' last day with their current sitter. I didn't cry, but I still feel really sad about it. It's weird to me to know that they're not going back there. I don't like it. There's comfort in that routine, I guess. We had given her a sound machine for when Grayson naps and I had forgotten all about it. When we picked the kids up, she handed us a bag with some of their things in it and the sound machine was in the bag. It's sitting on my dresser right now and just looking at it makes my chest hurt.

I'm really struggling with the move. From there, I just have no idea how to end that sentence or this post. Would a simple "the end" suffice?

Let's try it:

THE END

Naw, that looks to cryptic.

The End.

Better. Less dark, but still a little more final looking than I mean for it to be.

But seriously though. I'm a sad panda.
