Real.

Had a rough day yesterday. I was feeling sorry for myself and was pretty cranky. It was not a good day. Chris only took a short lunch and then was only home for 20 minutes before having to leave for the evening. I had to leave my baby with the neighbours so I could sit in Urgent Care with a princess for an hour and a half. (Victory though, as we exited with a magical piece of paper.) Rather than focus on all that junk though, let's focus on the good things.

Good things!

- had a great weekend that ended with a swimming birthday party for my friend's little girl. Although it emphasized how much we miss grandma and grandpa's pool, we had a blast. Chelsea learned the valuable lesson of only jumping into the pool while wearing a lifejacket and Gavin just loved every second of it. Makes me so excited to celebrate C's birthday here in just over a month.

- Although not seeing any results on the scale (hence the me feeling sorry for myself) I do workout hard every day. My running is coming along great and I can't wait to run outside. I'm hoping to start this week. It was also a nice surprise to do a p90x workout that my husband said was super hard only to discover that it was easy for me. Chris was shocked. :) Thanks Turbo Jam and Jillian!

-so glad for friends who get me where I'm at and love on me.

- I am pretty proud of the gift I gave my friend's little girl. It's totally copied from what Heather gave me when my girl turned one, but I loved mine so much I had to make one for my friend. I am not a scrapbooking person and so it was a bit of a stretch for me, but I think it turned out great!

- G is officially crawling on his hands and knees. It allows him to move faster in order to pull his sister's hair better.

- I'm taking on fewer and fewer cakes. I'm all booked for March and pretty much April and even have 4 in May already. I want to concentrate more on myself and my family and enjoying time outside while my matleave is quickly coming to an end.

- Feeling a lot of peace about a pretty major decision that Chris and I made last week. Major announcement about that coming soon. (Ha! You like that? That's right. You have to wait to find out.)

- loving my husband and how helpful he is. I realize that he's not the majority every time I read on someone's FB page that someone is excited because thier husband washed the floor or did dishes or laundry. Mine does things like this all the time and I am very thankful for this.

- good friends who laugh loudly at Boston Pizza.

- thankful I don't have to cook tonight as we're going to a friend's house tonight.

- Friends who love my kids almost as much as I do.

- pedicures. friend. Saturday night. Excited! 'nuff said.

- my dining room table. And the fact that it is covered with a little girl's idea of heaven. My Little Ponies, anyone?

- There is way more good that I could list, but one of the good things just woke up and needs some hugs and cuddles. Laters.
