“If it makes you happy
It can’t be that bad
If it makes you happy
Than why the hell are you so sad?”
-Sheryl Crow

Yesterday was a bit of a roller coaster, I received an email from my mom around 1 telling me my grandmother was in the ER with what they believed to be a stroke. Constant updates all day and worrying about my family kind of took its toll on me, and I was relieved later to find out that her tests all came back a-okay, that it was not actually a stroke, and that the doctors were releasing her to go home. Whew. It’s kind of a reminder, of sorts to take stock and take note of your blessings. So, I’m tripping over to the corny side and making a list today of what I’m grateful for:

  • My grandmother is healthy
  • Well, my whole family is healthy for the most part. That’s good stuff
  • I got my kid potty trained (I set her 3rd birthday as a goal)
  • Long hot baths in my big ginormous tub
  • My kids make me smile
  • My youngest made me laugh so hard last night which made her laugh harder which made me laugh harder – it was hilarious
  • My mother’s helper is hanging with the kids so I can get work done today (I’m not just blogging – I swear)
  • Resolved yucky tense argument with my husband
  • Coke Zero
  • Warm, not stifling temperatures
  • Heath Ledger’s kick-ass performance in “Dark Knight” (seriously, better than I’d anticipated – even with all the hype. It’s not just hype).
  • Super cold water with ice
  • Got a magazine in the mail so I can ditch this trashy novel I’m reading
  • Saw that WordPress has an iPhone app (yay)
  • Counting Crows released a new album on iTunes yesterday of live stuff
  • I’ve managed to avoid buying the new Miley Cyrus cd for my kiddo
  • I bought the movie “Juno” on DVD the other day, and plan to watch it til I can’t stand it anymore. “Oh my blog!”
  • Sent my friend a box of Tootsie Pops and Sharpies for her birthday and she got it already! I love sending presents.

I’m gonna stop. I keep thinking of stuff. Which is good. Very very good.
