the good and the bad... let's share!

The Bad:

- Lost a good friend to cancer.
- My mom has cancer, but is handling the treatment better than expected.
- Another friend with very young children recently found out her cancer has re-occured.
- I am so angry at cancer. I have seen some real suffering and pain. It's made me fearful and I feel like every ache and pain or weird bump means that I have cancer.
- This winter was the darkest period in my entire life. I became anxious and distracted and was totally thrown for a loop. I've never had such hurdles to jump. I know, I am lucky and in the minority because many people my age have been through so much more.


The Good:

- I grew up a lot this winter and truly realized what is important in life.
- By nature, I am a giver. I learned how to do some "taking" over the last couple of months and realized that it's ok to do that.
- I signed up for the breast cancer 2 day walk and a 10 miler. Huge goals that I will try my hardest to meet.
- Awesome, healthy, sweet kids.
- Amazing husband.
- Kids are thriving at school.
- We are financially stable. Not rich, but stable.
- We have our health. Not until just recently did I really understand what that means... I always took it for granted.
- We are young and have our whole lives ahead of us.
- I made chocolate chip cookie bars today and am going to splurge and eat a couple with some cold milk. Yum!

Bad
DH does not want another kid because he says we're too old, it's too expensive, I'm stupid
May lose my paycheck - will find out in the next couple weeks


Good
Have 1 healthy child (knock on wood)
Still have a paycheck
Generally, we're in good health

It's very meanie. But PP, having a husband who says things like that is, in fact, a good reason to avoid having another one.

Another child, that is. G-d forbid anyone should have another husband like that!

At first I thought you meant husband. He's good with the kid we have. I just started to wonder if I was wasting my time with him. He can have another kid in 20 years, (like his father) I have a very small window remaining.

As it is, I'm a working mom and do everything around the house; he does handyman stuff once in a blue moon.

bad:
I still have bad pelvic floor pain from pregnancy.
As a result, I can't run anymore.
I SAH with baby, and sometimes feel intellectually inferior to my friends that work.

good:
I have an awesome, helpful husband who truly appreciates what I do as a mom and wife.
I have a healthy, fun DD that I love so much!
I love staying at home with her.
Right now, DH has a stable job that enables me to be at home.
