In my never-ending efforts to relieve myself of negative energy and not be a total whiney, ungrateful bitch, I am going to try (and you’re more than welcome to join me!) to write here, whenever it feels right, what I am (you are) grateful for. Big, small, whatever it may be. Join the revolution, MFers!

So today, lets see here~ My kids at school when they are actually smiling and laughing, the Reginator, great girlfriends, American Idol and watching it with my little cousins, living in this city for only a short while longer, sleeping in and how I can’t wait to do it again this weekend, and for my co-workers who deal with my mood swings!
Ok here’s round 2 for me…. finally being done with driving all weekend long although seeing my man is for sure the HIGHLIGHT, having an amazing boyfriend, having an amazing family, my bed and pillow waiting for me to get some serious zzzzzz…., for having a new job and oppurtunities coming my way in 5 weeks, and so very happy to have a place to live because it’s EFFIN cold out- DAMN it’s frigid (-15 windsheild bites)

Can’t ask for much more - oh, and not much rain….yaya…..
