Year of Gratitude

Okay so I am a bit late posting this. Life happens.

One of my hopes for 2012 is to give more energy to the positive and less to the negative. I often get too focused on the things that need fixing. So, for 2012, I have challenged myself to daily gr’atitude’ checks. I am keeping a daily record of all things positive! Many of which I will post here.

Here are a few from the January.

Baby E is growing so fast. I’m enjoying every moment of it. Though I keep telling her to SLOW DOWN!

For all of you, who like me, can only draw stick people.

i don’t know, what do you want?

I would love to press a button and magically have dinner appear. But realistically this is what happens in my home. Twice a week (okay, maybe three times) at around 3pm, I email Justin and ask him what he wants for dinner. Which translates to, will you bring something home for dinner. And we go through the whole, I don’t know, what do you want routine. I know I can’t be the only one who does this, right?

Damn Jetsons!

H, “Look mom, I’m giving my penis a spanking.”

Me, “Stop spanking your penis.”

Never thought I’d say that. Ha!

does he have to grow up?

My not-so-little Judah-man starts Kindergarten on Wednesday. Hard.To.Believe. Judah is a very bright, outgoing, and kind boy. I know that he’s so ready to take this step. It’s just mama who is not! I’m going to miss him terribly. I’ll miss his sweet voice and the silly songs he sings, his gentle hugs, his Legos being stuck to my feet, his art creations, and his help. Really, no one will miss him more than his brother. I’m going to have to brush up on my wrestling skills to keep Harper entertained. It’s going to be a strange and tearful transition for us. Oh, here come the tears.
