"UP"

Today is a laid back day. I have already walked 4 miles and I am taking a break from cleaning the house to eat some Cheerios and blog. I am so grateful that I started this blog. I am so grateful for all the thoughtful, caring, funny, insightful and inspirational comments left to me. I wish I could bottle all the love and concern I feel from you guys and bottle it. I could sell it and make a million bucks.

Things on the kid front are back to normal. I am really learning alot about myself lately. I have been having some emotional growing pains. It happens. I really do believe that everything in my life, the good the bad and the ugly, has made me into the person that I am becoming... (note: that means I am a work in progress..lol) Forgiveness doesn't mean we forget, it means we learn how to deal. Some days we deal better then others. I am grateful that as a family, we are quite aware of this. Bottom line is we do respect each other. As individuals, and as family members...and the part we all play in this crazy little family of mine.

I am going to go clean the bathrooms. I can't put it off any longer. When I get pissy about cleaning the toilets I always tell myself at least I've got a pot to pee in. Get grateful with a quickness. Then I am off to see the movie "Up". No grandkids this time, I want to enjoy this movie. Then maybe a nap and some reading. I am reading Losing Mum and Pup. It's a book written by William F. Buckley's son about the last year of his parents lives. It is sweet and funny, and an honest look at taking care of an elderly parent. I never knew much that about him. I would recomend it.

Have a good Saturday......

  3. Sounds like a good book and a good plan for a relaxing day. I wish I could do that! (go to a movie, nap, then read) But my hubby and kids wouldn't dare let that happen ;) Oh well, maybe in 10 years or so. LOL Enjoy it!

  11. I tried that method trying to be thankful about having a pot to pee in when I dread claening the toilet...but then I started thinking...."a clean pot to pee in or a dirty pot to pee in...what difference does it make?" haa haa haa. Ok, ok ok...I do clean my toilets!
