Casper's version

[flea]

Little bunny foo foo
Hoppin through the forest
Scoopin up the field mice
And boppin 'em on the head wif a shovel

I was up listening to Casper/helping her for 1 hour and 12 minutes Sunday night.
Last night, more than 2 hours. I cried for a while when I finally got back in bed.
Both nights I let her cry by herself (on and off, not full screaming) for half an hour before going in.
I think I'm calling in sick to work today.
But my boss asked me to call her at home when I do that (since I am the first one in and open up) and if there's anything I can't face doing right now, it's talking to my boss.
Maybe I'll chicken out and leave messages at work.
If I stayed home, I could go for a walk. And take a book to a coffee shop. By myself. I think the last time I did anything for myself by myself was last summer when mr. flea's parents were here and I got a haircut.
I need this. I deserve this. Right?

Oh, you. You absolutely deserve it. I'm so sorry. But take the day, and enjoy it.

You totally deserve it. All those ideas sound like great ways to relax and breathe a bit. Maybe a nap, too?

Yep, you need a day off.

I hope you've stayed home, and are having a lovely day. You need it!

Absolutely. It sounds like you're reaching the ragged edge of stress, and definitely need some time to yourself.

Dude, you're pregnant, I suspect you need several days off just for that, nevermind the screaming toddler.

But I admit, I would've been long ago tempted to soundproof her room and lock her in every night.

YES!

I hope you enjoyed the book + coffee shop.

Yes, you SO deserve some time to yourself, and not only deserve it, you need it. I hope you're napping right now.

Goodness, yes! You deserve at least one mental health day!

YES

You totally deserve a day off, time to yourself, and much, much more.
