Amy had a good blog post today: What do you love about You?
And so, as I sit here drinking my 4th glass of chardonnay and eating French's Onions out of a bowl (yes - I am being completely honest - don't judge... and BTW they are a GREAT combination)... and as my oldest is on her 2nd day of strep (1st day of antibiotics, and LOTS of other drugs) and miserable, but in bed with her super-daddy...
Here is my answer to the ever-so-inspring-Amy:
- I love that I THINK I am a decent mother (I know I'm not great, but I aspire to be daily)... Lucia tells me repeatedly that I am "great' so I should go with that. Really, I should - she's 8 and still speaking honesty. But can I share a secret? I'm not a great mom, but I aspire to be daily. REALLY I DO... there are just a whole lot of demons I fight on a daily basis to get there
In other, less serious and honest bullets:
- I love that I look good for 40, even at 206... way better than I did at 30. I'll take it.
- I love that I am pretty confident I am a good friend. Hopefully, a best-friend to some.
- I love that I have so many women in my life that I count as GOOD friends. Not just acquaintances, but truly good friends... Some from my "before-Richmond" life and some from after... (you know who you are!)
- I love that I love my husband, after almost-12-years... and I wouldn't trade him for the world.
- I love that I still really like my job... BS and all...
- I love that my kids rock - more than anything in the world...
- I love the US of A... thank GOD for ALL of the amendments...
- I love that the beauty of WLS allows me to post this post...
- I love that I can blog this freely, without fear...
OK - time to go to bed... Lots to love... so much not posted.
