Today I Am Grateful For

getting up before the SCHOOL-AGED CHILDREN
a day with my hubs while the SCHOOL-AGED CHILDREN are at school
going out to breakfast without the SCHOOL-AGED CHILDREN
asking my HP for help to not yell at the SCHOOL-AGED CHILDREN before they get on the bus
praying that my SCHOOL-AGED CHILDREN have a glorious first day at school
plans to be gentle with myself while the SCHOOL-AGED CHILDREN are at school

Perhaps some first day of school pics may follow...

This Is What I Know

1. Blogger does not like to download pics from my iPad.

2. This is not a good excuse not to blog.

3. Julie is a strong, brave, beautiful 5 year old.

4. In less than three weeks she goes off to kindergarten and I won't hear her ear-piercing screams or see her nasty faces she likes to make when she's mad.

5. Less than three weeks is a long time. A. Very. Long. Time.

6. I have been depressed all winter and finally figured it out this past June.

7. I am in the middle of switching medications and have not been feeling so great ALL SUMMER.

8. I do what my dad says and push on regardlessly.

9. I am woman, can you hear me roaring?  See number 4.

10. Yesterday was my Aunt Beth's 91st birthday, I usually call her. She is in the hospital, on a ventilator but alert.  I called her children and wished them all well instead. That felt good.

11. My brother Paul is an amazing man. I want to make more time to see him, he only lives 40 minutes away.

12. My friend Don has been sick. I miss him.

13. This blogging thing ain't so bad...I'm gonna make an effort to do this more often.

14. I like Stacy's Pita Chips and roasted garlic hummus...waaaaaaaay too much.

15. Good thing this blogging thing isn't like smellavision, dontcha know.
