Great, I am crazy.
While we continue naval gazing, I have unhappily joined the ranks of people who go on a diet to lose weight and gain 2. One more pound and I'll weigh as much as I did when I gave birth to twins. Granted I only gained 25 max with each pregnancy including the twins but it sucks that now I pretty much need to lose 25 pounds. Go me...
TGIF! Mostly because I can not take another morning of getting the kids up and ready for school. They don't want to get out of bed, they don't like any of their clothes, they don't want to eat what's offered for breakfast, they don't want to pack lunch. Usually it's one kid per issue (in the above order: Kyle, Kelly, Emily & Ally, Zach) but when it's all added up, it's one big messy grumpy morning.
Pity party over. Let's go back to rainbows and sunshine and kittens.
I just finished the November issue of Real Simple magazine. And of course there's an article about gratitude (November=Thanksgiving. And Black Friday). So here are
I'm thankful to have one of my sisters live nearby and who drops in to watch The Office with me (also thankful the writers' strike is over). I'm thankful my other sister crochets lovely items for me and my family (pillows, hats, kitty toys, an afghan to name a few). I'm thankful for my brothers even if we don't see each other very often.
I'm thankful my best friend of 25 years still puts up with me.
I'm thankful to the rest of my family for giving me The Crazy (joking!). Really I'm just glad they are all still alive and healthy and deal pretty well with my phone phobia. (Gah, I'm sounding more nuts by the minute.) I'm thrilled beyond belief that family is one of those things I never need to complain about, I have great in-laws, loving parents, goofy but awesome siblings, a sweet sarcastic husband, and 5 great (mostly) kids. I won the family lottery. Which must mean I got bumped out of the "look like a supermodel" one.
Oh oh, one more whine before I go. Who turned off the heat? (It's 40F, 4C here this morning.) Can I request it be summer time again already? I.do.not.like.the.cold. It makes me crazy.
