Had a better day today

Today wasn't bad at all. Noel slept well last night so I was able to actually get up and function today. A nurse from WIC came by to talk to me and see how I'm doing -mostly emotionally, and answer any questions I had. I felt a little offended that she suggested I try to get on SSI disability for my diagnosed Borderline Personality Disorder. I'm more than a label that someone stuck on me due to the personality I have. I can be successful in life on my own. Right now I'm struggling, sure. But I'm being the best mother I can be (granted I'm broke) and one day I will be going back to school and I will make something of myself. But right now I'm physically being everything my children need me to be. I care for them, I love them, I teach them, I listen to them, I'm there for them, I know them, I understand them, and overall I help their growth as they help mine. I don't need to be on disability. I am not disabled. I can function fine on my own. I don't need hand outs because of my personality.
An old friend from church came over today. Well, she was more my friends sister. We personally were never friends as she's a few years younger than me and her sister is my age. But she recently had a baby that is only a couple months older than Noel. She donated all of her sons old Newborn clothing to me. I feel so grateful that she did because we didn't have much Newborn. We have a decent amount of 0-3 but Noel doesn't fit in those yet. The Newborn clothing are really helpful. Big thank you to her.
Justin had today off today and he tidied up our room some while I was busy with the nurse appt. He's so great. He's a wonderful man to me and an even more amazing father. He's loving, supportive, and extremely helpful. He even gets up in the middle of the night to help with burps or diaper changes. I don't know how I ever got this lucky - to stumble across this man in life and to have him fall for me.
Later in the day Justin and I took a nap with Noel. I loveeeeee naps LOL. So does Justin. Lailah watched Netflix kid shows as we napped. She's such a good girl. Not just because of that but for many reasons. She's a sweetheart. - She even helps change Noel's diapers lol.
To end the night my mom made dinner. Some new recipe for chicken. It was really good actually. The potatoes are always yummy. And the cabbage wasn't as good as usual - my mom tried a new recipe for that too and it failed. Yuckie. But overall it was a yummy dinner.
Now putting Lailah to bed. Gnight.
