  dishing the dirt, cleaning the chaos

wow, you are an optimistic person...I never do that and it might explain a lot. I get up cursing and being ornery :). I'm going to copy you though and see if I do feel better. I'm in one of those funk kind of places and things seem to suck all around- if I get my head up and think about something positive more often, maybe I'll feel better. Believe me, I swear I do try but I often give up and see only the negative...here goes I guess. Mind you, I am a half empty person so it's not quite right unless it's tainted with sarcasm!

I'm thankful for my three wild, hair-raising boys, my goofy but cute husband, my disfunctional but loving and loyal family, the ocean I never get to see, the snow, when it's shoveled, my life-sucking computer, my marginally rewarding writing career, my master's degree I don't use, the mOntessori philosophy I can't seem to live up to, the dog who eats the kitty litter (hey, it is helpful), the cute voice of my two year old telling me something I don't understand (but don't care because he's so darn cute!), my microwave because I hate cooking, my coffee pot who never lets me down, my funny lady friends who will can everything for an unscheduled mimosa, my secret desire to be a make up artist...wow, this is fun! I could keep going but I have to do laundry- one thing I am not thankful for...well, I guess I am or my family and I would have no clothing and I'd have to boil water and scrub our only pairs of pants in a bucket. so, yes, I'm even thankful for that massive mountain of laundry...did I just say that? thanks dvd!
