I cried and released a ton of stress.

Today was a good day. My daughter turned 6. She had lost her 1st front tooth last night, so the "Tooth Fairy" gave her a $2 bill and a new baby doll. I got the baby doll idea at 3am...lucky for me I have things like that on hand in the garage!
In the morning I took her to the nail shop, a special treat she enjoys. She selected her color carefully and had flowers painted on both hands.
In the afternoon, we attended a good friend's birthday party. It was held at a warehouse type building with a dozen small "themed houses" lining the walls and children running everywhere. In the middle there were comfy chairs for the parents and tables for birthday parties, etc.
After the party, I took her older brother shopping to buy her birthday present. In years past there has always been a gift from him to her, but he had never selected it himself. He chose a Barbie DVD movie for her...staying within his budget!
In the evening we went to the restaurant she got to choose, a salad bar style place we all like. We saw our neighbor there, from right across the street, and she got to show off her missing tooth. She opened her gifts after dessert and told me that I was the best Mom ever!
We came home exhausted and all went to bed. My husband woke me up, just awhile ago, in the nicest way possible, and now at 3:30am I'm ready to go back to sleep. I think I'll have sweet dreams...it was a good day!
Thanks for a nice thread!

Remembering yesterday's day out with my youngest daughter who was 25 last Saturday.
We don't get to do this often, but we both enjoyed our day out.
She is finally growing up, she did not ask me to buy her anything at all. She used to ask and when I said no the reply was sometimes:-
" But you know you love me, you want to really and I am special "
In a childish voice, never did worked, so that's why I say she is finally growing up.

I woke up wobbly and bug eyed with a full 'family' schedule lined up and feeling anxious about making it to the end of the day ...
My Man said ' I don't care what they all think as long as you are OK - whatever happens, we will deal with it ... the PTSD no longer scares me, I just get sad seeing you struggling through a day so much, but you are doing well so I don't want you to worry about anything, just let me handle the day and you tag along on my energy.'
THAT was the best possible thing to happen .... Knowing that he was there to watch out for me meant my hypervigilance was lower and I could relax and be present instead of trying to preserve my waning resources.

Today
Managed to recieve sick note from doctor for another month and managed to go out and get some toilet rolls (would have been really messy if I didn't).
