A Sense of Humor

Yesterday my husband read my blog (I made him). After reading it he said in his very serious, yet compassionate voice "Honey, I support you with this blog 100%, but people reading it may not think it is funny. They probably think it is depressing."

I do not write this to unload my problems on all of you. I truly think that all of this stuff is funny. I hope that as people read this that they can see the humor as I do.

On a completely different note... for those of you who don't know me, I have two beautiful children. An almost three year old son and a three month old daughter. A couple days ago I was eating my lunch when my son came up to me, a train in each hand, and said "Mommy, you know how much I love you?" My eyes welled up, and I squeaked out "how much?". "Until Thursday" he said. I burst out laughing, tears and all and gave him a big kiss.

It made me so happy that he can express himself well enough to say things like that to me. I also am very proud of the fact that he hears these kinds of things in our home enough for him to repeat (or try to!) those kinds of words. Every day I wait for him to hit those "terrible twos or threes", but he just hasn't yet. Knock on wood.

Sometimes when your life is in the gutter it is difficult to find the silver lining. For me, with my family I feel so completely LUCKY that I am surrounded by love. Even when my life is really difficult right now. Once again, it is a damn good thing I can keep my sense of humor.
