10 Things That Make Me Happy
Thanks, Brandie for this....now I have to think.
1. My family, crazy as it is
2. My hubby
3. Books (duh)
4. My boys...the cats. Unending amusement
5. Ordering out, so I don't have to cook
6. Sleeping in
7. Spending the day in my jammies
8. Warm sunny days
9. My friends
10. Having control of the tv for an evening
Now, I guess that wasn't so bad. Lets see what Lydia C says!

I am sooooo tired of being married to a spoiled child. There. Had to unload that. My husband was breast fed champagne and spoon fed caviar. Atleast he thinks so.
I made chili last night. Yum. I always make two different pots, one mild and one rip the lining out of your stomach HOT for the hubs. I have been making it this way for the 10 years we have been together.
Last night after dragging his ass out of bed an hour later than usual (he's on midnights) he comes down to eat. After crabbing because he has to walk downstairs to get crackers out of the pantry he goes
"Is there sausage in this?"
"Yes. The same sausage I always use to make the chili."
"You know I don't eat sausage."
" I made it the same way I always do."
"Which is why I never eat it!"
Now this is news to me. Who the hell has been sitting in my kitchen all these years eating my chili? Furthermore, why do I waste my time and ingredients on that person?
I didn't even have a snappy comeback. I was shocked that he would even say that to me because for years he has sat down to multiple bowls of chili when I make it.
Do you suppose he is shizophrenic? I'm starting to wonder.

Happy Day
My baby is six years old today. How did this happen? Where was I during all this?
I woke him up today singing the happy birthday song and shaking the bed, which produced a grin first thing. He then told me "I don't feel six yet!". I'm sure the ripe old age of six will creep up on him sometime today :]
Having my children grow older is so bittersweet. I want them to grow older, experience all life has to offer. In saying that, I want to snatch them to my chest and keep them young and with me forever. Is that possible? Weird?
With my first son, I was always so busy looking forward to the next milestone I feel I missed so much of the day to day stuff. Instead of being enthralled with Goodnight Moon I was stressed because he didn't get his first tooth as the parenting books said he should.
When my daughter came along I had more brains about me and spent time just watching her grow. It was liberating not following the parenting EXPERTS . I was so much more relaxed and just enjoyed her being her.
With my "baby" I just sat back and relaxed. He has had extensive hospitalizations due to asthma so I spent a ton of time with him, in the hospital, in the doctor office and just at home. As the last to go to school when I worked afternoons we spent lazy mornings watching cartoons in our jammies. It was just relax time. I just can't believe he's in school, bypassing his mother for his friends already.
It's a hard thing, but, there are so many other adventures waiting for me as the kids grow older. I have driving, prom, heartbreaks, college.....I guess I'll let them grow.

Feel the burn?
Working out is WAY HARDER than I ever thought. I guess all those previous trips to the gym (socially) I was doing it wrong. I HURT! Bad. I feel parts of my body that I didn't even know I had.
Today we are doing abs. Words every lazy girl like myself loves to hear! Are you kidding? Abs? I'm crying already. Tomorrow I will need a forklift to get myself out of bed, let alone move around to get ready for work!
Although.......after working yesterday and playing with the kids and dealing with the husband I was still going strong at 11p last night and I almost bounced out of bed this morning. Almost.
Tomorrow? Well I'd like Grande Tylenol cafe mocha please.

2010
Can you believe it is 2010? I remember being younger and thought I would be damn near dead at the age of 34 when 2010 swung around. Little did I know.
I have so much I want to accomplish this year. I hate to set resolutions because I never follow through but I do have some goals for this year...
1. Paint the inside rooms of my house- you know when you buy a new house and all walls are cream? Ours are green. Mint green. Every last one, except the kitchen that I painted last spring. I have lived in the house long enough and have mapped out every last room, even the baseboards. Not one room will be green!
2. Exercise. Iknow, I know everyone says that but I am not in it for weight loss (only a perk if I do lose) I just want to be able to play with my kids and stay up past 8:30p sometimes lol! My husband is going to the gym with me and it's nice, and easier to have someone with me. The lost pounds don't hurt either.
3. Relax. Take a breath and enjoy today for today, not what needs done, not what is happening tomorrow...just take each day anew and appreciate what I have in the right here right now.
4. Read what I enjoy. Through the marvelous ladies on Goodreads I have learned that it is ok to NOT finish a book if I don't enjoy it. I will live. The author will live. Life will go on if Rachelle does not finish a book. And, no more goals in reading. Yes, it was nice to know I read 100 books last year but I found myself reading "easy" fiction just to make the goal. No more. If i want to read 1000 pages in three months I will.
I guess that's all.
Maybe in 2020 I can look back at myself and be proud!
