My Single Mom Life

Man, what a long day.
The long days of winter are upon us, and man, did it drag by slowly today or what?
I had a great time with Susan all day though.
We played so much, and just had so much fun.

She spotted my make-up box in the bathroom while washing her hands, and I ended up letting her put on some lipstick and face powder.
She was so thrilled and loved looking at herself in the mirror.
You can barely see the make-up on her, I kept it super light, but she walked around like a super model after that and even posed for pictures. Hahaha

One of the rules her mom had for her today was that if she behaved and took quiet time, not even a nap, she could have a prize from the prize box.
She wanted a little Hello Kitty make up kit that was in there, so she was being super extra good today.
At quiet time, I told her we were going to watch a movie about a princess and a giant, and pirates, and that we would lay down together on the couch and just be quiet and watch the movie together. She didn't need to nap, just be quiet and rest.
She was so good about it because she hates naps, but 30 minutes into The Princess Bride, she was out like a light clutching her blanket in one hand, and my hand in her other.
She only stayed asleep for about an hour and a half, but she did very good and continued to sit and watch the movie after waking up.
We must have gone in and out of the house a dozen times, the weather was perfect for outdoor play, and Sebastian chased her, spun her, played soccer with her, and she pulled weeds up.
I didn't ask her to, she just told me that "The weeds need to go Aunty Kat, I'll do it."
She was just happy doing things on her own all day, not having little sis here, she had all the attention on her.
It was a very fun and good day with her.

In other things, I am so tired of having my feelings and opinion discounted, as though how I feel is not valid.
I have every right to feel like I do.
I was treated badly, brushed off, and my requests completely ignored.
That angers me and I have every damn right to feel the way I do, even if no one else understands why I feel that way.
I would love to elaborate more, but right now, I'm kinda pissed about it, and if I keep talking about it, I will surely say something I may end up regretting later on.
I'll drop it, for now.

It has taken me over an hour now to write this post. Hahaha
I ended up getting an email mid post, that needed my immediate attention.
Hope it actually comes through the way it says it's going to.
That would be nice.

Alrighty, I have so much to catch up on after not being able to do much on the computer today, time to get busy.
Later days!
