Repressing the Grouch

I'm a bit grouchy today. I don't really know what the deal is. I can see myself from a distance being moody, but I can't do much about it. On a good note, thinking about the things that I'm grateful helps. I know that sounds so corny, but it's true. I admit it, when I first sat down to think about five things I am grateful for today, it wasn't coming easy. I was definitely looking at everything from an extremely negative angle. However, after dwelling on it for a bit, I came up with my five AND I'm in a much better mood as a result.
  • Education - I am so grateful for all of the different schools (16 total) that I went to by the time I graduated. It is one of the reasons I can talk to a wall right now... if only a wall could talk back. LOL! And seeing how others percieved their educations was really interesting to me. I loved school!
  • The Dallas Zoo - what's better than spending the day at the zoo with my babies??
  • DVD's - OK, movie night with my boys is way fun too! We are movie freaks for sure!
  • Blankets & Pillows - plus movie night?? HELLO! Snuggling while watching a good movie rocks!
  • Captain Crunch - totally craved this while pregnant. I don't care that it cuts the roof of your mouth, it's still yummy!!

So, if you're in a funk, think about all the blessings in your life and you're sure to improve your mood.

OK, so I thought the number of schools I went to was mad!! I went to 6 junior schools, 3 high schools and 2 universities. So 11... which is waaaay more than enough, but 16?? Eeek! And yes, I can talk to the wall and make it be my friend too... it must be all the moving and having to fit in (sometimes at short notice!) But I don't think I would change my education at all... and it amuses me terribly when I talk to people who went to one junior school and one high school. I don't think I could live like that!

PS. Thanks for your comment on my blog! Much appreciated!
