I've been in a funk. I am not overstressed. Not overwhelmed. Not hormonal even. There is no reason for me to be out of sorts. Perhaps the reason is that it's been raining for what seems like seven months straight. I know how tired it is to bitch about Seattle weather and to be honest I have done so very infrequently in the past 10 years we've lived here but for now I am blaming my blues on the weather.
Audrey is going on a field trip to the beach tomorrow. Rain or shine. We dropped Liv off at gymnastics tonite and headed to Target in search of rain boots that fit.
Thanks to retail therapy my mood has been transformed some. So rather than complain tonite here's a brief nod to all the bright things in my life.
Audrey kisses me and Eric each time we're near her. I just went up to pat her back as she hacked & hacked (her dreaded cough is back). I picked her up, rocked her, and patted her back. She kissed me like always-whether she is dead asleep, half asleep, or wide awake- always a kiss as a greeting. Bless her.
Olivia has been tantrum free for 21 days today. Our house is so much calmer. I am so proud of her. God love my Livvie.
I am healthy.
I have not been obssessed with death, my weight, and general impending doom for months now.
Eric remains my prince.
I connected via phone with my girlfriend Kathy today. Every time we talk we connect. What a gift.
Tomorrow night is date night.
It's bed time & Eric says he'll take the dogs out.
The weather report shows colder temperatures tomorrow and rain for at least the next five days but I am not concerned...and Audrey is thrilled. She will be starring as Little Miss Sunshine and my luminous reminder to look on the bright side.
