Love/Don't Love

Today, I don't love...

- My post-baby body

- My hair that I haven't cut since before H was conceived (yes, I'm serious)

- That H's pediatrician hasn't called me back yet

- The anxiety I feel about her last appointment

- My feeling of anxiety, in general

- That groceries are so expensive

- The cockroach I found running around in the dog food bin this morning (yuck!)

- That I forgot to make coffee this morning

- That I accidently erased ALL of our recordings on our DVR last night

- That it was easier for me to think of the things I "don't love" about today rather than the things that I "do love"

Today, I love...

- That E didn't even shed a tear when I dropped him off at school

- That Dancing With the Stars is on tonight

- The beautiful, brisk fall weather this morning and being able to wear a light jacket

- That I'm excited about the new soup I'm going to make for dinner tonight

- All the stares and comments I get when I wear H in my sling

- How E runs up to me and hugs my knees when I pick him up from school

- That H finally had a dirty diaper after 2 days without (only a mom will understand this one)

- That Dr. M said I looked "cute" this morning

- The motivation I feel to eat better and run again

- The time I have to myself, while both babies take a long afternoon nap

- Hearing H giggle at me
- Breastfeeding

- My babies more than I will ever be able to express

I love how actually typing this out gives me such perspective on my day.  I ran across this idea on a blog that I really enjoy reading and it inspired me to give it a try.  I'm glad I did.  I suggest trying it and see what you come up with....
