Gratitude Revisited

I was feeling a need for a dose of gratitude today.  So in no particular order, here are some things I'm grateful for.


1. Despite Piper's mega-tantrum in the car, which included screaming "you're a naughty poop" at me over and over, she didn't wake Simon from his nap.


2. Amid the seemingly endless barrage of idiot drivers today I was able to keep my cool and stay safe, though I may have muttered a bit of colorful commentary under my breath.


3. I have a healthy body that functions properly.  It may not be the shape or size that I want it to be but at least I'm not sick.


4. I got in a mid-morning nap today while Piper was at pre-school and while Simon was sleeping.  It was just the perfect length.


5. Milk.  This might sound odd but it's a great and filling snack for me, on its own or paired with something else.

6. After a little coercion Piper tried the bell peppers and mushrooms in last night's chicken cacciatore and liked them.

7. The prospect of getting a much-needed haircut this weekend.

Where did Piper learn that expression? Naughty, naughty!

Ha! I like being called a naughty poop. I'm glad you're feeling well, safe, healthy, and grateful. XOXO.

If I don't get to go to Europe before the babe, can I bum along with you and your mom in Germany?

Chellese, I'm not going with my mom to Germany. She's going with a friend of hers. I say that we do a pregnant/baby trip, that way we have an excuse to go slowly, sleep in, eat too much, and just be lazy while in Europe.

Okay, great! Where and when?
