It's been one of those weeks--I can only blame it on teething and hope that sooner or later it goes away!
Rather than dwell on it all, I thought I'd resort to a fabulous little trick I learned from Eric back when we were lowly and immature freshman (ha not much has changed!) In abridged form and no particular order, here is my
"I am grateful for..." list today:

We are of the same heart. I LOVE ICE CREAM. I usto eat ice cream for breakfast and probably still would if my head would just stop telling me "no".
To give you an example of how much I love ice cream: I worked for Baskin Robbins for three years and would, at least once a week, get a pint of ice cream and I would shove the ice cream in, up to the rim, and halfway through shoving the ice cream in I would either pour hot fudge or caramel to help the ice cream melt and get to the air spots and fill it in; I now go through the grocery store ads weekly and look for good buys on ice cream, just last week there was buy one get one free, so I bought four; and usually our freezer is filled with ice cream and nothing else.
I hope I don't sound too extreme but I love ice cream, oh yeah, one more example: my doctor was worried Edwin might be allerigic to dairy, so we did some tests and he' not thankfully; but if he was, my biggest concern, right under Edwin's health, was that I wouldn't be able to eat ice cream for a while.
Ok, that was a long comment, lol. I hope you have a wonderful day.
Good idea Meg. Sometimes it is easy to get lost in the woes of the day or the week. I like this so yay for Eric! :) I actually remember an apartment prayer that you had mentioned us all going around and having an I am grateful moment :)
love you lots MEgs!!!Thanks for always coming and visiting me in the lab:) it makes my day:)
gavin has those same stacking blocks.. he is in love with them.. he also loves his ride on airplane from aunt lisa.. and the fun songs it sings while the propeler is going.. I found myself walkign through target singing the "flying song" trying to figure out what the heck it was from.. then it dawned on me. I was so proud.
Hey darling, thanks for including me on your "grateful" list. (And not on the crazed people I want to escape from list). I'm honored :)
Wonderful list, wonderful idea.
I love you,
Mom
p.s. I LOVE the Scotty sweeping video - wow he is totally walking like a big kid now. That happened fast.

p.p.s. When you called me the other day, with Scotty "appealing to a higher power (Nana), I want you to know I told my little Biscotti to be nice to his Mama. That she is not only bigger but smarter!
