it is very trying to have three feverish and grouchy beans over here. all are in various stages of dismay - and it is tough. i am a bit stir crazy and so over tv.
i am working on a list of all the things that i am grateful for and that make me happy - even when life isn't easy peasy.
so -
* making light savers out of sticks and paint
* that benji makes me smile every day - even when he is in the process of breaking things.
* cuddling with the beans even when their little bodies smell like feverish skin - yes - it has a smell.
* that my seeds are so so very happy in this house of chaos.
* that hubs loves me unconditionally even through my grouch - (comes with the beans various colds and such). and that even when he is mad as hell, he doesn't say so - he just keeps on keepin' on.
* that spring is coming, SOON. i know - it's here - but i mean REALLY here.
* that i am going to be able to keep my part time jobbie - as i seem to have JUST snuck under the radar somehow. i love my job - i love the peeps i work with - and i would be SO SO sad to have to leave.
* for yoga - it is helping me SO much. *sigh*
* that max loves the beans enough to come watch them every week, and that i can go tomorrow and be the helping mom in m's room.
* that t only vomited once last night - but i still despise chucky cheese
* for all the peeps in my life - for hugs - and long distance lovins.
* about new babies coming into our lives near and far. KEAS - that's you....
* for starbucks. i know - ridiculous. but i am.
* that teagan has renamed me "princess mommy."
* that benji talks - like really talks now.
* that m is not a depressed 5 year old - that he actually just had a fever....cause i was really worried.
* i am thankful to look at my hubs and smile at the familiarity and comfort in his eyes...that he is my best friend too.
* that exercise is finally fun.
* feeling needed and wanted and loved, and being able to return that favor.
* family - always family.
* t's sweet glazed over eyes...and how she puts herself to bed when she is under the weather with out even telling us.
*that benji says thank-you unprompted and when he likes something a lot he shouts - "LOOOOOVE IT."
* birthday party planning to satisfy my little yogini and her darth vadar brother....
* for GF bagels that kick ass - made by pa none-the -less.
* benji shouting "mommy - where are you." to the tune of scooby doo whenever i leave the room.
* m singing the tunes every time my phone rings....to the tune of sugar magnolia - with out even picking his head up from his work.
* garden - garden - garden.
* listening to m read and sound out words.
* that the beans think that benji came from daddy's butt - we may have to talk about this one over dinner before it makes it's way out into the ear of some innocent unsuspecting teacher.
* roasted and sugared pecans that ROCK
* bright feverish eyes explaining that they are fine - just a little sick - but fine.
* baxter sunbathing in the driveway and the ups guy who gives him a bone EVERY time he drives BY the house.
* my world - just my world.
what about you guys - i know times are kinda tough right now - seemingly for everyone- but surely you have a list.....i encourage you to leave some of it here....
*namaste -
xo, a
