Can we have a pity party?

So it's looking like I'll be spending another night away from Ellie tonight. With the snow and ice we got night before last everything is still covered. All the side roads are solid 4 inch sheets of ice and the main roads are complete slush. We live in the country and have two big hills to go up to get to the house. Dad called and said he barely made it out this morning to take mom to work and he was in his big 4 wheel drive dodge. The high today is only 35 and the low is 13 so the little but that does melt will re freeze overnight and be worse in the morning.
This will make night 5 that I've been away from Ellie. I'm sad and I miss her. I've seen her for maybe 12 hours since Friday morning.
And to top it off, she's 9 months old today. All I want to do is play with her and then cuddle as she goes to sleep.


Anyone else throwing a pity-me party today?

Aw in so sorry you have to be away from your little girl. Hopefully you can get to her soon!

That's not a pity party! Pity parties are petty, yours is the real deal. It's miserable being away from your children when it's not by choice. And 5 days is a loooong time.

Ugh, I can't imagine being away from Grayson for that long! I hope the roads get better soon so you can see your sweet baby girl!! I would probably be sobbing if I were away from Grayson that long because of the weather.

My entire 10 things was a pity party this morning!!

Hugs! It would be tough to be away from your baby that long.

Aww hun, I agree. Not a pity party. That's legitimate reason to be upset. I would be a blubbering mess.

My pity party: Teething, teething, and more teething. Teething is the devil. I just want to sleep. And I know poor DD wants a break

Today was my quarterly visit to the dermatologist (I have a history of melanoma).  I never manage to get out of there without at least one biopsy.  Today I had three - one of which was on my vagina.  Ugh.

Good thoughts that it's not melanoma are appreciated because I do not want to have an excision that close to my lady parts.

Thanks Ladies. I really really miss Ellie. I should be able to get home tomorrow to see her but I've got a 6pack to get me through the night.

I'm sorry I hope conditions become safe very soon so you can have your Ellie back.

I am having a pity party for myself as well. Last night DH and I went out for our anniversary and it was the first time we've been out alone since DS was born. It was also my first time away from him, barring my workouts at the gym.

I got all prettied up, wore cute clothes and makeup and had a great dinner with DH. I felt so pretty and a live- like a person! When we got back I had to change so I could nurse DS and when I put my nursing clothes on again I realized that I have completely lost my identity again, just like I did when DD was young. I don't feel like this is going to resolve itself very quickly.
