One Talented Kid & Lists







Ok, so perhaps this isn't "talent". But it sure kept us entertained for some time this afternoon! She ended up biting the bowl and tilting her head back a little and the bowl stayed over her eyes. She thought it was wonderful. I soaked in her creativity. We both giggled and giggled.







Things I feel I am constantly looking for:
the good bottle (it's my favorite bottle of O's but disappears frequently)
my phone
one of the three pacifiers
for dinner to magically appear already made in my refrigerator
sanity?!
more time
the teeny eyebrow brush that has broken off the stick it came on
the large green popcorn bowl


Things I am grateful for today:
time with friends
seeing my friend's kids take great care of O when we spend time together
coupons coming in the mail to me
Fry's mailers with recipes and coupons
my hardworking husband
the miracle that is my daughter
rice chex, they are gluten free
that the grill had propane so I could prepare dinner
my salon appointment book being so full
that I know I am one amazing woman
to be able to move beyond resentment
quiet
that my parents are safe on their road adventure to see the other 9 grandkids
great news on some medical tests for me
other people sharing their experiences - reminds me I am not so unique


Things that I find irritating:
styrofoam being touched, can't stand the sound of it - makes my teeth itch
my teeth itching
non accidental mispelings  misspellings
red light cameras - too much anxiety comes as I go through the intersections, even with a green light!
O screaming at a super high pitch while she is pointing to something she wants
men who don't hold open doors for women
forgetting to get the coffee maker ready for the next morning
not having coffee ready when I wake up in the morning
expectations

Things that make me chuckle:
O walking around with a tissue at her nose, pretending to blow - 'cept she is blowing out of her mouth
seeing people belting out song lyrics while driving alone - I love it!
people's accents
hearing new words each day from the daughter that never ceases to amaze me
that our 80lb pit bull thinks he is still 4 months old
some of the thoughts in my head
hearing people laugh
O's devout love of the holy water fonts at church
the conversations O has with herself as she sees herself in the mirror - the smiles she gives are priceless
