What in the world?

I am in a huge funk. Not sure why and i can't put my finger on it but it's really not fun. I'm not sure if it's my sister's situation, my being worried about being a part of the MOPS leadership next year, my missing my Mom or just that it's 'that time of the month'. But whatever it is, i'm sick of it!

Times like this, i try to write a grateful list. You know, one of those lists that show you what a ding-ding you are for feeling the way you are feeling? And so, here goes my grateful list:

1. I'm grateful for being Emma's Mommy; she is the light of my life.
2. I'm grateful for Robert (who has tried to get my out of my mood, lol)
3. I'm grateful for my friend, Melissa, who always manages to get me to laugh with her emails; now if she would move closer to me....
4. I'm grateful that although chubby, i'm pretty healthy; i'm working on the chubby part, btw.
5. I'm grateful for our home which i love; some folks have no where to call home.
6. I'm grateful i'm a stay-at-home Mommy; some Mommies have no choice but to work.
7. I'm grateful for computer acess, lol...
8. I'm grateful that i had my Mom for 41 years...i could have lost her a lot sooner.
9. I'm grateful that Emma is home with us and not stuck in the middle of the Guatemala adoption slow down; there are too many children not home with their families yet.
10. I'm grateful for Emma's hugs and mushy kisses
11. I'm grateful that i married someone who laughs with me and who loves me; so different than my first marriage but that's another post...
12. I'm grateful that i've been blessed with the life that i have.
13. I'm grateful for my sister (even if i think that she's a loopy, loopy nut job right now)
14. I'm grateful for my niece and nephews who make me smile when i chat with them on the phone.
15. I'm grateful for a husband who loves his family and takes care of us.

Now that's a good list. So, here's my plan for today, i will come back to this blog and read it over and over again. There is no reason for me to be in this mood.

And if that doesn't work, i'll go buy some really good chocolate. :)
