End of Year

Seems this year has been so very full of travel and and other events. But, I, no surprise, did not document so much of it. I plead that I've been busy. With making baby and doctor visits, the kids I volunteer with as a GAL, various trips, and then opening my mouth and ending up on the Home owners board of directors -- yeah I've been a bit busy. Oh yeah, also fixing Bug's new room, redoing our bedroom and just general clutter patrol. And did I mention I have no definition below my knees due to swelling and have some form of carpal tunnel syndrome as a result of this pregnancy? I'm not a good pregnant person. I don't glow or get bubbly. I swell and bitch.

Has to the happiness factor -- I am happy that my family is in genral healthy and that this baby is almost here. David mentioned the other day that good exercise for me would be to find three things to be happy about everyday. I'm pretty sure he means actual things and that just continued breathing and life doesn't really count. It is good advice; bet i could even find it in some of my therapy text or treatment planning models from school.

But something needs to change, and this is at least a cheap method of therapy. Just find three things that made me happy during the day - or that I could at least not be upset about. HMMM....

1. I managed to get all of the Christmas stuff in boxes today - except the tree. It will all probably sit around for weeks, but at least it is boxed.
2. Jessica went down for her nap before 5:00. that's good because then when I wake her up about 6:30 or so I know she at least got a good 90 minute nap which should help with this evenings plans.
3. Today when asked our names, she called me "pretty girl" and David "dippy". Now that's just good for a belly laugh.

Hope you all have a Happy New Year.
