Gratitude

Cheesy, yes? my title?

Well, it's been a rough week. My thyroid is whacked again....getting into the dr was a pain. Blaire screamed for a significant portion of Wednesday...Collin tried to climb out of the van today while I was parked at an ATM machine. Honestly, he did. Not out of mischief, according to him. No, no....he just wanted to feel the wind on his face. I still don't know what the proper response to that explanation should be. I think I just stared.

Anyhow...the kids have really tried me out this week. But boo-hoo. I sat down tonight to read the blog of a childhood neighbor. It's his wife's blog, actually....and their daughter, 3 weeks younger than B, is gravely ill. And SNAP. Perspective comes back. Comes RAGING back.

So parenting this week might have been fraught with landmines...but I'm feeling SO lucky to be experiencing such NORMALCY.

And today, Collin said, " Mom....you are very.....interesting.". My three year old finds me interesting. Can't ask for much more.
