Today is the best day ever!

I am loving every ounce of this day so far!

I fed my babies really good- well, I supose that's subjective. Is butter, cholesterol (eggs) and SAUSAGE "good"? HAHA. Anyways, they ate real food and that always feels good. The coffee is good. I called and got a bill taken care of that i shouldn't have received in the first place.

The kids are wonderful. I'm ready to tackle work today. It was a great weekend!

MFN's are going through a time right now, and I hope they don't mind that I'm leaching onto their "problem" and using it too. MFNC is currently unemployed. He's got a month to find some employment. I feel extremely hopeful for him, but it makes me also want to pare down some more, and simplify things MORE. If you look around, RIGHT NOW, you'll probably see that we have MORE THAN ENOUGH to live on. Just for today, there is a roof over our heads. Blankets on the bed, and pillows. There is plenty of food in the fridge to feed all these children. I have a van in the driveway if we need to go anywhere. We even have extras, like a bunny and a spider. We have a TON of extras, actually- these kids have clothes coming out their noses, there's so many of them. I have everything we need in order to get by. Plus some. I have a cell phone that I could do without. I have junk drawers filled with "stuff". I'm going to clean them out. MFN's situation makes me want to ditch some more "stuff" and keep it simple. We don't NEED all this crap. They don't NEED all those toys. I am LOVING the lack of cable, even though David Blaine was on a channel I can't watch and it broke my heart. But I LOVE that that bill is only $16/month, and my kids are outside playing because there is nothing interesting on TV right now. That's so awesome! I taught CJ how to do double digit multiplication. I get to spend REAL time with the kids. I own an expensive vaccuum cleaner that will suck up TFR's terds that are NEAR the litter box, but not in it. UGH.
I can see clearly how totally abundant we are right now.
I love the flexiblity around us. I love knowing there are choices. We can stay in this house or we can move. I can homeschool. I can quit my job, I can find another. Cullen can work somewhere else. Maybe we want to go down to one vehicle? Or have one on reserve that doesn't ever get used? Maybe I want to get Dan and Deb's bikes and try to bike everywhere for a week? Maybe I want to get on the treadmill and run 2 miles?
I LOVE this world today. I don't like the sad things that go on, but I can SEE it all for what it is right now. I LOVE THAT. I'm FLYING!
