Yesterday, Annoying

Normally I am not one of those people that feels like Monday is a bad day other than the fact that we have to go back to work. At times that is not even something to make it considered a bad day right off the bat otherwise that's a shitty way to live.

Instead yesterday proved to me that it was a shitty day no matter what the name of the day was. All in all I felt like I could not get anything done and the things I did get done we're not ever really done.

The best part of the day is when I get to go pick up Zoey from daycare. Yesterday even that was complete shxt because when I got there I was already running late, she was not in a good mood for some reason or was simply not feeling well or something. Cicely even thinks that there is a possibility that it's growing pains as well.

In the end she was not doing very well all night and ended up waking up several times until finally around 3:00am Cicely Went in there and calmed her down even though she continued to wake up every 30 to 60 minutes requiring Cicely to once again calm her down and get her back to sleep. This again made us think that she may be feeling crappy because she had a lot of gas all night as well.

New Kid In Class, Sort-Of

This week Zoey will be starting to go over to the bigger kids classroom that is known as the 'Kittens'. Essentially it's the staging class before she goes into another class that will be slightly more permanent for her.

Yesterday she did awesome according to the teacher in that classroom, did a little art in the Monday art class and had a really good time with the bigger kids. Sometime during the visit she also was taken on a buggy ride with the rest of the class. She loves her buggy rides big time so this was even more icing on the cake for her. She was then back into her current class for the rest of the day and I think she was a little bummed yet so full of energy that she was exhausted.

Better Day For Zoey

Today was a much better day for Zoey. She still seems to be having a little bit of a transition period with uncertain feelings going on and I think that it may be worse next week when she's over there in the 'Cuddly Kittens' full time. I honestly feel bad for her, she loves her classroom and they have so much fun with her as well. It's the only room she has known since she was just under 3 months old.

Part Of This Journey

It's a big part of life right? Growing and learning. Meeting new people and having new experiences during it. I have always been much more reserved and not outspoken at all. At times I think this has sheltered me from things I may have easily excelled at, I will never know.

At the same time I am happy with the place I am at today. Of course there is always something more I would like to have for myself or my family, especially when it comes to my little ZoeyBug. I want her to be what she wants and have great experiences.

I know that it will never be perfect, there are too many bad seeds out there that may influence her, pick on her or otherwise. That will be the most difficult thing for me to sit back and watch without intervention on my part. I suppose it never gets easier.

I will get better at it or assume I am if she is growing into an intelligent individual in turn making me feel as though it's all my doing by being an awesome daddy. I hope so anyway, I don't want her to ever think of me as anything less.

Eventually our little girl will be making up her own mind and questioning the status quo more times than not. Having both book and street smarts all in one package. I believe that Cicely and I have a great mix of both of these so my hope is that it will come natural to Zoey.

Anyway, it's time for me to put away today's entry and enjoy the ride home with Cicely driving, music cranked up and Zoey relaxing in the back.

Once home I want to (okay I DO NOT WANT TO, I HAVE to!) work on that stupid ass, fuckin', piece of shxt, can not do the one task it's built for SRAM Force dérailleur and see if I can get it adjusted again like the LBS (local bike shop) did a couple weeks back so I can go for a spin tonight on the trainer. Although I'm sure it will only go out of alignment soon after as it always does. I hope my new one is better, this thing is junk!

I want it fixed for tonight sure, but more importantly for this weekend when the weather is supposed to get really nice once again. I would like to go for a ride or two outside and enjoy it rather than focus on the transmission problems with this bikes damn setup. With that, we are about 90% home and I need to stop looking at a phone screen!
