...And on a lighter note....

My last post was pretty...um, unpleasant, so I thought I should mention some recently awesome stuff to counteract it. Here goes:

---Early Monday morning, I was cuddling my little one because he was coughing too hard to sleep, when suddenly he hugs me, smiles beatifically and says, 'you're the best mommy'. I didn't cry, I swear. Of course, my son was crying himself about an hour later because I insisted on sending him to school, but I hope to be best mommy again at some point. I got there once, man....

---My father won the Order of Ontario last week! It is one of the highest honours my homeland can bestow (it's actually harder to get than the Order of Canada, apparently). Seeing my father on the dais as he received it was one of the best moments of my life.

---I got a new computer! It is sleek and beautiful and lightning fast, and I love it, except that I managed to erase over 2G of music files instead of copying them from my old computer to this one. Oops. Anyone wanna send me music?

---I've been (almost?) nominated for an award on brigits_flame!

---I have a wonderful family. I adore my husband, love my son beyond measure, and my sister, my brother-in-law and my niece and nephew are fantastic.

---I might have convinced my husband to get Lebanese take out for dinner tonight. Mmm.

Yay for happy things!

[taste-is-sweet.livejournal.com]

Indeed. Thank you. :D

Hugs, mazal tov to your dad and your son, both who have a great you in their corner!

[taste-is-sweet.livejournal.com]

Thank you! I try to be great, believe me. :)

Yay for your dad! I checked out the page and was reading through the list, trying to guess which one was your dad. I can't, of course, tell.

Aw, your son sound so freakin' adorable.

After reading your first post, my comment was going to be: *throws self heroically in front of TV screaming, "Noooooo, I'll save you!"*

I don't think the nomination is "almost." You've got a third. :)

[taste-is-sweet.livejournal.com]

I GOT A THIRD! ::beams:: If it was you, thank you very, very much.

My dad is Peter Silverman. :) I appreciate you trying to find him!

My son is indeed among the awesomest, and I say that with no prejudice whatsoever. Really.

And your comment about throwing yourself in front of media on my behalf made me LOL. That's very kind and self-sacrificing of you. I just really need to not follow the horrific story threads.

congratulations on your dad's award! (and, of course, on your own "best Mommy" award! those are not easy to get either...)

[taste-is-sweet.livejournal.com]

Thank you very much! Believe me, I will never take Jav's spontaneous affection for granted.

Congrats to your uncle and hooray for all the rest of the good news! ^_^

[taste-is-sweet.livejournal.com]

Thank you! It's my dad, but the thought is still greatly appreciated.

Nice icon, too! I need to get me one of those....

[caras-galadhon.livejournal.com]

Oh, lord, I don't know how I made that gaffe! I meant your father, of course. *facepalm* Sorry about that. Congrats to him all that same! That's quite the honour.

*G* Thanks. It's by fraught. (As is this one.) ^_^

[taste-is-sweet.livejournal.com]

No worries. :)

Thanks for the icon info. I will check out fraught's LJ. I see she goes for the 'like a friend loves another friend' aspect of the show. Heh.
