Well here it is, Day 4, and I am already sort of slacking off. It's a list! Lists are easy, and I've got grocery shopping and errands to run today. And I've also got to start on my slew of home-made requests that a certain Mr. Birthday Husband has requested. You know, like another one of these:
And so, because I have to go run and slave over a hot stove all day, you get a list.
Today, I want to take a minute and list a few things I am thankful for. I am always thankful for friends and family and jobs, but I thought I'd spice it up and give you a few other not so run-of-the-mill things that get me through most days.
1. Max and Ruby. This series of ridiculous videos saves my life every single day around 4pm. And in the morning. And pretty much any time I need to get something done. It's on right now, matter of fact. I hate this show. Hate it. But if it means I get 3 minutes to put a look together, I will play it and feel ZERO GUILTY.
2. Coffee. Oh, sweet coffee. I never thought I would become my mom, who drinks coffee all day long, but I did. And it is glorious.
3. A savings account. Pretty much every sort of surprise, unexpected thing broke or needed to be paid this week. If it weren't for my savings account, I would be turning tricks on the street corner right now.
4. Halloween candy. I am glad it is gone. So is my ass. It's really glad it's gone, and not via my mouth. I sent it all to JT's work.
5. Tyson frozen chicken nuggets. Because they are pretty much the only thing my very picky son will eat.
So there. It's a short list, but again, how do you expect me to keep my Stay At Home Parent membership card if I don't get all the groceries shopped and a cake baked and a chicken roasted, all while wearing my tiara and pearls and best heels?
What kind of cake is that? I am thankful that you are not on the corner of 9th & Mass :)
