Things That Don’t Suck

rainbow220x205

So, life kind of stinks right now.  I’m tired of being pregnant.  I’m sore.  I’m cranky.  And if I don’t get my hormones under control, I’m going to end up as a single parent.  We’re just a big mess.  But I have always believed that your circumstances can be changed based on your own attitude.  I don’t have control over anything except my own outlook.  Well, now is the time to change my outlook.

To remind myself that life is bigger than me and by swollen feet, I’ve been trying to think of things that make life good.  Things that I really enjoy.
