I need perspective again.
Kyle's teething (well, we think; he could just be practicing his imitation of a raging asshole) and it snowed (!!!) this weekend and our budget is so tight it resembles the cast of Jersey Shore's clothes. I'm just ... wound up, and I hate feeling this way. I hate when stress trumps calm and life forces me out of living in denial. I hate when I snap and stomp and do my own very convincing imitation of a raging asshole.
Sigh.
So, some good things. There are always good things.
1. Mike let me sleep in this morning. I won't tell you what time I woke up, but it's later than I've gotten up this whole year, and that includes the one night we were away from Kyle in College Station. I woke feeling like I could take on the world. That feeling subsided five minutes later when Kyle's teething screams made my ears bleed.
2. Family grocery shopping at the newly-opened and super-fancy Whole Foods in Dallas.
(Mike's back to working during the week, which is part of the financial blahs I referred to a couple weeks ago. It's not financially ideal for us but there are always silver linings, and grocery shopping together is one of ours.)
3. These Poetic License shoes. I can't buy them but just knowing they exist is enough. Also, they're on the short list of things I buy once I rob that bank win the lottery.
4. I saw Natalie Friday night. She makes me feel better, about everything, and whenever I'm around her I'm reminded why one of my wants for Kyle is for him to find a best friend early in life. Having someone in your corner for all of it is indescribable.
5. Ky got new shoes. I've been waiting a long time for a baby boy in some Chuck's.
What are you happy about right now?
