I haven't done this in a while so I thought it was a good way to get in a fast post today.
- I love that Piper's bug has only lasted a couple of days. I am thankful for the carpet cleaner I own because I was able to clean my carpets the same night they were puked all over. I love that Piper slept all through the night last night.
- I love that I finally got all of things I have been meaning to sell on Craiglist listed.
- I love that my husband actually said Facebook has been good for me.
- I love that I will be getting Mirena next week. I am really getting tired of condoms. Did I mention I am thankful for my sex drive being back?
- I love that I did my Wii Fit workout 4 times this week.
- I love that I have made my home enough my home that the fact that my parents are selling the house I grew up in doesn't really phase me much.
- I love that I am recognizing more and more when I am giving my attention to things that don't feel good.
- I love that in being able to read people better, I find myself feeling less awkward in social situations. Not that that was even a serious issue. I just feel a bit more confident and don't question my words or actions as much. I can also recognize more easily when something is someone else's issue, even when they try and make it mine. It only becomes my issue if I let them suck me in.
- I love that I almost have our taxes done.
- I love that Piper has learned to pinch her nose when she has a poopy diaper. That trick just helped me save her from a sore butt (part of being sick).
- I love that Mike is now on his way home from work. Guess I better start thinking about dinner. Tacos, anyone?

I love the gratitude posts!! I've missed a lot on your blog! That is so awesome about the girl who went to RDC. How awesome would that be to go to a writing workshop there! I love that place so much-wonder if I will ever go back. I'm impressed that you already have your taxes almost done, I haven't even started!!
Erin, I am so behind on everyone's blogs, and yours has so much that I want to process and I am too tired to process it... I am leaving a real comment tomorrow, but for now, Who is Dave Matthews??? And I am SO interested in the reading people thing, and I just made a complete fool of myself in Church today, and my ego is hurt and I really wish that I WAS confident like you. I TOTALLY have issues, and you seem to have it all figured out and I'm envious and jealous all at the same time! I'll be back tomorrow when I can leave a coherent thought!
Okay, it took a few days for me to get back to this. I was envious of your post for so many reasons. First of all, my dad is getting ultra serious with his girlfriend, and for the first time since my mom died, selling his house is an actual possibility. Unlike you, I am totally saddened by this, and think that driving by it every day knowing that some strange new family is in it will be hard on me. I agree that my own home now feels like home, but I'm still sad at the prospect of my dad selling the house I grew up in. Secondly, I REALLY need to learn to recognize when I am giving my attention to things that don't feel good, which goes hand in hand with my feeling awkward and inadequate in social situations. I am constantly second guessing myself, and things that I say, way after the fact, wondering how people perceived me and questioning everything. Finally, I have a brother who is a master manipulator, and I feel like I allow myself to get sucked into his drama all the time. I actually asked myself last week, is he crazy, or am I? It's always this power struggle, that I don't have the time or the energy for. Every interaction with him drains me, and I'm torn between trying to keep the relationship because he's family, and trying to keep my distance because he is a constant source of stress... I would really like to make it as simple as recognizing that it's his issue, and avoid getting sucked in.
As always, I love your perspective and I love your blog because it gets me thinking. Happy almost birthday!!!
