Facebook. Status Update. How many times do you update in one day? Totally random but I was thinking about this in the shower today. Some days I want to update my status like 296 times with all of the remarkable things that happen to me. Talk about "You're so vain" you probably think Facebook is about you.
Here is the thing. I have settled on the following status "...is blessed." It fits the space that the 296 updates would have. But what I really mean is:
- My baby is so freakin' cool!!! He sleeps 15 hours at night and cuddles and talks and says mama when he wants to talk to me and rocks my face off. I love him a million gagillion times to infinity and back and I live for the time we spend together.He is SO cool.
- My husband works so hard for our family and is an incredible provider. Even though we are a total team, I appreciate how much he goes above and beyond for us. We are so lucky.
- They ran my credit at the car dealership and it was top tier! Hell yeah!!! Talk about battling back to the top of the ranks after years of bad financial decisions. If that doesn't make you feel like an adult, I don't know what will!
- My job is incredible. I could not ask for a better place to work.
- This mom of a very busy one year old is in the pool close to five days a week and stronger than ever.
- My sister lives with me. So cool. Ace gets extra love and attention all the time!
- I am down 30 pounds!
- one two Kalamazoo
- Proud Democrat! Thank goodness for my Midwestern friends who are updating their statuses as is too! Sorry Mittens, I have Barak's back.
- Has the most rockin support system of a family. Couldn't ask for better.
- Food allergies and vomit...who cares. Things could be so much worse. Thanking God for good health and praying for all of those who are suffering.
- Pinterest causes me anxiety. I can't be perfect and I don't have time to do all of the projects that I have pinned. But, I do have time to read to my son, hug my husband for longer than two seconds, and I work full time and manage to get dinner on the table by six at least five nights a week.
- I am a good mom. Scratch that. I am a GREAT Mom.
So...I can be vain and make this blog about me. After all, it is mine. I took the time to write it. And, the thing is, we are all blessed. We just need to take the time to stop and realize it sometimes. Write it down and feel good about it.
That's all.
