New Year

I haven't blogged in a long time, well, I haven't blogged anything of substance in a long time. I've been in a funk. A bad one. I was allowing other worries to over run my life and assist me in digging a deeper well of depression. In fact, to many surprise, I've actually been seeing a counselor to help me figure out why I turn to food for love, why I am obsessed with having a perfect house, and why I am the person that I am. It has helped out A LOT!! I see me returning, a better me, a new and improved model. Watch out world I'm back!!

Its days like today where I am thankful for the life I have. For many, today would have been a day from hell. A sick baby that has a temperature, keeps vomiting, and wants to beheld and rocked. A two year old that has the eye of the terminator and is hell bent on destroying any and everything. A 9 year old who has the attitude of a 16 year old, and a 7 year old who loves to help out, sometimes a little too much, oh and likes to sneak food she isn't suppose to have. Then to top if off, a husband who left to work early in the morning, only to return 13 hours later, with his new jeans ripped and his knuckles gashed. Ahh, it's a beautiful day.

So tonight, I sit here, in my messy house. Christmas decorations still up, dirty dishes in the sink, floor screaming to be mopped, and a toilet that I just unclogged because a certain 2 year old got into the bathroom and flushed a WHOLE roll of toilet paper....I sit here thankful. Thankful that the 2 year old survived the odds of being born 11 weeks early. Thankful my 9 year old is healthy and has friends. Thankful my 7 year old has the motherly instinct and self confidence I never had. Thankful I have a son, who is healthy, happy, and has killer blue eyes. Thankful that my husband has a job, and the fact he loves his job is a total bonus. And thankful that I survived today, that I survived 2009, and that I'll survive tomorrow.
