things that made me smile last couple of days. Sometimes its good to balance because for the list of 100 shitty or sucky things happening, we forget the little things that put smiles on our faces and sometimes i am especially guilty of this. If I stop to think of three things, sometimes it makes it better.

1. Winter putting a bandaid on her teddy bear and giving it a moustache.
2. When at dinner J complained that the pasta tasted gritty, Winter came to my rescue and told him “She buys us toys, how do think that makes her feel? You can at least try to eat it…I mean I don’t eat alot because I have a tiny stomach for dinner.” *she is convinced she has multiple stomachs, 1 for dessert, 1 for dinner, 1 for snacks and so forth.
3. blog posts like this one, that not only provide me eye candy but links to sites & blogs I haven’t been introduced to yet.
on the vegan tip, I once accidentally put jalapeno or serano smeared fingers in my eye & it was the devil…I swore never to eat salsa or chilis again. I didn’t, and J told me the next night-hey I thought you were giving up salsa! But as long as we have soy milk in the fridge…It does really work.
4. The Where the Wild things are soundtrack. Winter said she liked the movie because it showed how “anger can turn bad” and J liked it because it was “sad, but real.”
5. Helping J set up his blog.
6. Him having me read his rough draft of his next “post.” (He hand writes his rough drafts! imagine that) A response to a McDonald’s ad…oh that kid.
7. upside down gooey pineapple cake
8. Winter dictating her “blog post” to me, on why she likes Micheal Jackson, her favorite songs and thoughts on his dance moves. (she doesn’t have one and I’m not sure about creating one for her, she is six). That girl better start writing her own blogs…
9. talking about adoption, J giving me the “okay” to adopt an older kid. (we aren’t in any position to financially, but I wanted to hear their thoughts on this).
10. handfuls of limes the kids brought in from the trees in the back yard.
11. mushroom, sunflowerseed, spinach, and garlic salad.
12. I have low blood pressure & at night I can get really really cold due my bp falling, I end up putting on pairs of socks, sometimes 2-3 shirts & a sweater. Saturday the kids came to my room to wake me up, little gems that they are, and saw I had a knit cap on, with a sweater, and a scarf (I was really cold!) and they burst out laughing. I love that they feel so at ease that they can laugh with/at me.
