Thanksgiving

With the upcoming holiday.... it made me think of how thankful I am for the things I have. Of course I am thankful for my husband whom I almost lost a couple years ago to divorce. Which led to a make up, which in turn led to our beautiful son, Jacob.

I am thankful to have a great job that I enjoy every day...ok, almost every day.

I have a roof over my head, food in my belly, and for once in my life.... I actually do feel loved. Even through the antidepressants, I can still feel love.

I must admit that I am pretty numb to other emotions. Not really numb, but I feel them, and they are very dull.

However, when I am with my son.... his love for me burns into my soul. It's wonderful.

Thank you G-D for all that you have helped me attain. For G-D, I am truly thankful.

Fridays

Today marks another wonderful week coming to a close. It’s Friday afternoon 3:50… Louis Armstrong comes on Pandora. “What A Wonderful World” plays as I finish up my weeks filing. I sigh heavily, thinking to myself, that yes, sometimes it is indeed a wonderful world.

Despite all the crap that is going on these days, it can still be a wonderful world. For me, having the ability to see that beauty in all that ugliness makes me happy.

I am glad to be alive today.

DNA Testing Anyone?

Now, I pride myself on the fact that I don’t have a huge assortment of pet peeves. I have some. Come to think of it, really, only a miniscule amount.

Let’s see…

If you are an animal owner, take care of your animals. ATTENTION: This means if you have a dog and live in Dade County Georgia, please abide by the ‘leash law”. That way at 4 in the morning when some random dog gets my dogs worked up by peeing on the fence, it won’t be YOUR dog that I wish were dead or that I could shoot it with a paint ball gun.

If you’re a tree hugger… don’t buy a HUGE SUV and then plaster your love for the environment, in the form of bumper stickers no less, all over said HUGE SUV…!

Well duh, no explanation needed there.

Last but not least…

If you carry nail clippers on your person, don’t use the freakin’ things in public!

WHY?!? WHY!?! Why would you clip your nails, say, at the doctor’s office as you wait? Or worse…at work!?!

Please people, do this in the privacy of your own homes!!! That way, if I look over and see the afore mentioned fragment of DNA sitting in the seat beside me… I know it’s not yours!

Oh where, oh where have I been?

Well, as you all know, I am a new mommy. I never thought that I would belong to this "Mommy Club" that you hear buzz about in Parenting mags, or that you hear other parents talking about...

But it's true. I am officially a card carrying member of said club. And let me tell you, it is the best, most humbling, awesome, enjoyably exhausting, and fulfilling job I have ever had!

I never knew you could love one tiny being so damn much!

So with all that being said, it has changed my views of the world and the way I think and reacting in the world around me.

Well, my time is short and I must go. I have more important things to do than veg out in front of the computer....(oh those days.....). Until next time.

Just call me "Mommy".

My Horoscope Today

Aries
You may feel as if your physical energy is simply not in a place where you can access it at this time, dear Aries. You may experience a tremendous sense of frustration when you try to engage in a physical routine or sport, and you don't feel as if things are clicking into place as easily as they should. At the same time, this invalidation is taking a toll on your entire sense of self. Do not get down on yourself for feeling the way you do. Accept the fact that there are good times and not so good times for doing certain things.


Funny you should mention it..... (I think to myself). Perhaps it's the 7 lb. baby living in my belly...I dunno, ya' think...? Hey,I thought it was funny.

You say it's your birthday...!

Because of my sweet husband's latest turning of age, I decided to find his new favorite song. While doing that, I found the video and wanted to share. It's funny what an apple commercial can do for one's career!

Coming Soon

Here's some photos of the nursery. Now all we need is some furniture! The bottom right photo is of the quilt we'll be using.

Watching The Clock

Have you people looked at the count down lately? I know I have.

Good news...the room is painted, carpet is clean, and curtains are on the windows. Yayy! Looks like a real room now. Not some big pile o' crap we ignore and pretend doesn't exist. Now as for the rest of our lil' home, it needs some straightening. I have tried to remedy this, but lets face it people...I'm too tired and too unable to move things around as need be.

Now as far as needing things done, the Husband is The Man. He has been wonderful through all of this and so patient and sweet. He must really be a saint 'cause I was already a bitch before getting pregnant and now I'm just a bitch that cries sometimes and sleeps very little. Bless his soul!

The whole pregnancy has been pretty uneventful. That's a good thing. They say that it could be as soon as March 15th for delivery. We'll see.

Now, I must go find something to eat. I'm starving!
