the happy eleventh day

Today was a great day. Nothing spectacular happened....no visits with friends, no surprise money...nothing particularly special about today. Except...it was one of those days that I sat down and realized how fortunate I am. I have two AMAZING children. and an amazingly supportive always available (even if it takes 15 minutes to complete a game T_T) husband who works hard. He really keeps us afloat..enables me to stay home with the kids, but lets me treat myself to luxuries like the gym..and sometimes a hot bath or a nap.
I dont have enough days like this. Too many times I get caught up in the tantrum..the frustration over small things Like the solar blanket that has been broken for months and causing my SAD symptoms (seasonal Affective Disorder or whatever). Really..in the grand scheme of things I have it pretty damn good. better then many women that I know and am friends with.

Todays pictures are just pictures of my children playing together and enjoying eachother. When I am happy, they tend to be happy. I really need to ingrain this on my brain. Life is good, celebrate..everyday.

The main reason I avoid rice meals..however with this mood I have been in I figured.worse things can happen then a little extra sweeping. 

* There is nothing even remotely technically good about these pictures.but they are my children, and thus they are amazing :)




Setting a goal for myself tomorrow. get one good, clear, sharp photo of either one of my children to share the before and after. show myself how much editing I really do. Sometimes I think I downplay it to myself
