Things that made me smile today:

Seeing hubs snuggled up on the couch

with our little girl

Seeing little girl finally smile again

(she's pretty sick)

Realizing just how happy

a Gatorade

and a box of Mike and Ikes

can make my son.

Watching how much said boy

likes any song with a strong bass beat.

He's gonna be a drummer

or a bass player

or both.

When Dylan said,

"Do old people die sometimes?"

and I responded,

"Yes, like Clark died recently"

and he said,

"Yeah, and President Lincoln died"

Having Kylie and Doug

play tug-o-war,

with me.

He had my arms and torso,

she had a foot and an ankle.

Noticing that the flowers

Doug bought me

a week an a half ago

are still looking quite pretty.

Finding a good deal

on good shoes

that I really needed.

Feeling my baby kick

and remembering I am,

in fact,

pregnant.

Not just fat and miserable.
