Because that's always fun to read, right?
1. How unequal it is in regards to our "nights"---Cullen would FREAK OUT if 3 nights out of the week (at least) I stayed outside drinking and would just stop in to "check" on him and keep him "happy" by giving him drumsticks and lottery tickets. Then his sidekick "helped" and bought me some garlic cheese bread. They know my weakspots, but I still think they are idiots. Especially mine, because he'd be FREAKING OUT about this. It "should" be okay that it's not the same flipped around, I'm sure I have something that is not the same that way too, but I can't think of it. So this morning he was all "wanna play canasta tonight?" and of course I do, but I know that he's making that special effort because of last night.
2. Alcoholics. Do I mention that enough? If something is that big of a weakness, I fully expect you to be STRONGER than that- and I am and will be disappointed when you choose that over your family...or even your wife, if she really prefers you to not drink. I mean- if someone says that "something" is a problem, it becomes a problem. Anyways...
3. Men who don't find giving their hard working wives a nap a smart, beautiful, loving thing to do. Mine does. Thank God. Men who get irritated when their hard working wives work...well, it's not very nice and doesn't say a good thing about you.
4. People who complain about being broke and go out shopping for unnecessaries. But that's just my thing because we have been literally broke (borrow money for gas and diapers) before. I realize that OUR "broke" is CLEARLY not other people's "broke".
YAY! That's all I have.
What I LOVE are babies who smell good. My new baby who is a snuggler. When babies poop. Cleaning up when the kids are eating. Having rest time when they are napping. Or getting some good alone time with lil guy in the event that he's awake. That my kids think doing things for other people is normal. Knowing somewhere in North Dakota, someone's life is hopefully easier, and I got to help with that. Today. It rocks outside. Julia is having a playdate at her friends house and she has been WAITING for this day FOREVER! And I love that I have a new friend in her friends Mommy. I love my friend Guin. I love Cullen out with Jordan giving him some one on one time. I love the magazine "Critical Thinking" and I want to buy EVERYTHING in it. I love Five In A Row for homeschooling and it almost has me convinced to give it a go. I love reading CJ's composition notebook. I love thumbsuckers. I love that we get to have dinner with Kim and Travis tonight. I love that even though it's only day 2 (and I'm not "officially" dressed yet) I'm totally loving having these two boys here. I love that Suzanne is going to be okay (in hospital til Thursday at least, cuminin (SP!) for 3 months and there's a 70% chance the tear will heal itself. FYI- it's ALMOST COMMON for people in their mid 50's to get a tear in an artery from a fall, which she has done TWICE in the past 2 weeks- neither time hitting her head but they said that does not matter. The fact that she regularly has migraines may contribute to her arteries being more prone to tears). I love feeding babies. I especially love when they belch and keep all the num num's in the tum tums. I love the All State commercials, and the Jimmy Dean commercial with the sun..."You're ALL awesome..." (youtube it).
Okay, I'm off to snuggle a baby. And he smells so yummy today.
