3 good things last day

That's it, it's been 21 days!
would be weird to not write my 3 good things here every day. But I think that for the blog it would be a bit boring if I continue, so I guess I'll just have to make it into a habit, to write it down for myself at least a few times a week.

so.... here it is for the last time:

1. Staying at home all day coz you want to is not that bad :-) We had a nice relaxed day at home.

2. This is another nice  quiet evening. Hope there will be more of these to come.

3. I miss Rob. Some ppl might think that missing someone is a negative feeling. I don't.

3 good things day 20

1. Had a rather good night sleep and an easy morning

2. Met a friend for lunch, was really fun with her and her son, and also heard some good news from her.

3. Had another nice and quiet evening for myself, managed to also try out the new Washi tape I bought. As soon as it's done I'll put a picture of what I did (but first I need to be happy with the result, and that will take some more time and try outs).

3 good things day 19

Wow, in two days 21 days will be over.

1. We finally made it to go to the mothers club today, after a few days having to stay at home coz Tiny was feeling bad. It was refreshing.

2. My sweet mother in law (no irony!) came here for a  few hours, took Tiny off my hands for a bit and kept me company. It was necessary and great.

3. Tiny was so tired today, it made him completely cranky,  but at least that meant that he went to sleep at 18:30 and I had a long nice quiet evening to myself.
Now going to sleep coz it probably means he'll wake up with dawn....

3 good things day 18

1. Tiny is feeling a bit better.

2. I finally made it to get to the small chinese restaurant I've heard so much about. It was great chinese food, not the kind of food they fix to the european taste in most asian places. The first bite of the Baozi took me miles and years away. It's called Maigarten and I'll give details if you're interested.

3. I had a long skype conversation with my sister. It was so much fun just talking and talking. I love her and I really miss her. she really helped me go through the evening alone at home. Especially coz my computer is starting to turn off whenever it wants to. Grrr

3 good things day 17

again, forgot to write last night.

1. Knowing that I have a good friend here, at least one, is worth a lot.

2. A trip to the dr. in the evening with Tiny, who was screaming the whole afternoon, cleared things out for me, and helped me realize what's bothering him.

3. The dr. we met was nice but oh god, how much Ignorance about breastfeeding can one educated person have? the good thing about it is that it made me laugh (after leaving the room of course) and it made me feel even more sure of my way.

3 good things day 16

From yesterday:

1. My brother in law and his wife and baby dropped by for a quick visit on their way home from holiday, and it was really nice. They live far from us and we don't get to see them very often.

2. It was sunny and warm and it was a very nice day (last one for a week at least).

3. Rob and I spent the day together, and I really enjoyed it. He took a business flight in the evening, so we tried to make the best of the time we had together.

And I have even one more good thing today: Tiny is sick, and that's why it surprised me that he slept all evening (with short breasfeeding breaks) and therefore I could really relax last night, which was priceless.

3 good things day 15

1. The drive home went fine although tiny has a fever.

2. We're home. That feels really good.

3. The weather today was cold but clear with blue sky, and the mountains looked amazing.

3 good things day 14

1. We drove to a sweet and very touristy town outside of the city, and had a great time there. The weather was cold but sunny, the food was good and the company was really nice.

2. I know this is a real jewish mommy kind of good thing, but tiny ate really well today and that's great.

3. Sometimes when something not so great happens, you find a small good thing about it, and that thing becomes much greater because of that situation.
Rob is feeling a bit under the weather, and tiny fell asleep early, so I rushed and bought some ingrediants and made soup for us. It feels nice to be needed and being able to help the ones you love.

3 good things day 13

Internet was bad yesterday so I'll write now, and later for today:

1. We walked for hours around the city, and it felt really good to move. We were tired but happy at the end of the day.

2. I found a Kürtös stand and enjoyed the amazing pastry when fresh and warm.

3. Tiny was his cute and nice self, and was really sweet at dinner, ate very well and alone, and had lots of fun.

3. Although the busy day, managed to do the laundry and preper most of what I want to take along with me for our holiday tomorrow.

3 good things day 5
