My Boobs Feel Better

Don't get me wrong, they're definitely not back to being comfortable. But they're less porn star-ish and the lumpy parts aren't so sensitive to touch. This morning, there was a lumpy spot on each boob that hurt, even if it wasn't being touched. Even if it was just sitting there, in my boob, on my chest, it hurt. When Liam kicked while I was changing him, and landed each foot squarely on each boob, the daggers of pain in my chest took my breath away.
Then I got an idea (that happens sometimes!). I know the poor child is teething; he sucks his gums and gnaws at everything he can get his little paws on...be it a teething ring or a Playstation controller. And he's mad while he's gnawing! He yells and moans as drool runs down his chin and pools in his exersaucer tray. So I says to myself, I says, "Hey! Why don't I give him a little tylenol?" Now is that genius or what?
Since then, nursing sessions have improved dramatically, and I am finding some relief in the boob area.
They're still sensitive, though. And isn't it funny that, when I picked Aidan up this afternoon to say hello, he brought his knees up and each knee squashed a boob? Isn't that funny? Especially considering he's never done that? And my boobs hurt so badly right now? And he chooses now to plant a knee in each?
Hahahahaha! Oh, the laughter.
Wow, I've said "boob" or some reasonable facsimile way too many times. No more saying boob for the rest of the post. Ok NOW no more saying...that word.
So lately I've been thinking about May. Why, you ask? Well, I have to return to work in May, and May steadily creeps closer each day. I do not want May to creep closer. I want it to stay perpetually in the future, safely months away. Non-threatening and distant. Instead, I feel it looming, and I am becoming increasingly tense.
But today, something happened! Today, I found out that I was successful in a competition I went through over a year ago, and I am being offered a position at a new level! Yes, I said I did the competition a year ago. And I just found out today that I was successful. This should explain the delay: I work for the federal government. Things don't exactly move quickly in my line of work.
Anyway, the pay raise is significant, and opportunities abound. While all of this doesn't make leaving my kids and going back to work easier, it soothes things a bit!
Well, Liam is asleep, and that is a rare treat, so I have it in mind to relax for a bit.
BOOBS!
Sorry, couldn't resist.
