On The Eve…
…of turning 33…I had to actually do the math to figure out how old I’ll be tomorrow. Not sure whether to blame that on lack of sleep, Mommy brain or Momnesia, or just getting old.
My other list of complaints including:
dry, cracked hands
split cuticles
dry lips
dry mouth
dry eyes
lovely gray hair that is beginning to overtake the brown ones!!
just under 30lbs of remaining baby weight
fatigue
and never enough hours in a day
On my list of things to be thankful for:
a wonderful, loving husband who is right now in the kitchen cooking dinner for 9
two energetic and lovable sons that make every moment enjoyable
my health (better back, overall good health, etc.)
my extended family who are always there for me
my wonderful friends who not only remember my birthday, but check in just because
my freedom (as one of our family friends sits in Afghanistan representing the US)
the financial stability such that I can stay home full-time with our two sons
There’s many more things I’m thankful for, but I think you get the picture. The slight inconveniences of life (and life with Sjogren’s) are far outweighed by the joys of life.
I received the good new last night at my chiropractor appointment that I’m well enough to start jogging…YEAH. That will help with at least one of the things on my complain lists. I also don’t need to go back for at least 2 weeks. Here’s hoping my 33rd year just keeps getting better. I’ll be buying the hair color once I’m done nursing…
