I have a dusty myspace page. I’m cleaning house – taking what I’d like to keep, and then divesting myself of this dead real estate. I started an eo-blog on that myspace page – so I’m resurrecting some of those old posts for all to see (at least – more than the 17 friends that I had on myspace). The following words were written December 2, 2007:
Itty Bitty Clayton and I (2007) in the old bathroom...
It’s December, I can’t believe it. Only 10 days until my brother-in-law and his family are here, Only 23 days until Christmas, only 2 months left of maternity leave… Here’s what’s spinning around inside my head these days:
- The house is a mess…
- I wish I could sleep more…
- Claudia is just so sassy now!
- Wonder when the bathroom remodel will be done?
- How much is my house worth now?
- Are we really improving its value?
- How much longer will I live in Texas?
- Omigod, I have to Christmas shop this week…
- Even though I can’t afford to…
- I can’t wait to see my family.
- When am I going to lose these last 12 pounds?
- I really should get some winter clothes for my kids…
- I shouldn’t let Claudia watch so much TV…
- But how would I get anything done around the house if I didn’t?
- I can’t believe how much Clayton eats…
- Will my house ever be clean, really?
- I really need to start exercising again…
- Probably won’t have the non-mommy time to until I go back to work.
- I’m getting really good at typing with one hand…
- I think I’ve seen every episode of Little Einsteins.
- I could use a hobby…
- and a date night.
OK… that felt good… Now, to put this all in perspective:
- I have 2 beautiful, healthy kids…
- And one amazing husband…
- Clayton is growing like a weed…
- And really helping me to melt off the prego weight, sans exercize.
- Claudia is really very polite…
- And super brainy…
- Our mess will find a home for itself someday…
- And perhaps bring us some money!
- I’ve got all of Claudia’s Christmas gifts purchased…
- And hey – aren’t photos of my beautiful family a good, inexpensive gift for everyone else?
I’ve got very little to bitch about…
I remember liking this the first time I read it… Life really is what you make it.
Thanks Kuwanna! True enough. Pick your-bad-self and and dust your-bad-self off… words to live by…
