A little behind

I have not been ungrateful this last week, in fact, I am grateful I am still alive and not frozen to death on bleachers. I am grateful my old car is still alive and kicking and is up to the challenge of running kids all over the state for baseball games and practices. I am grateful for family who helps watch the kids at night so I don't have to have them freeze their tooshies off while they are watching a game in 30 degree weather. I am grateful that after said game all my toes are still intact and not infested with frostbite. I am grateful that Justin saved my @** from sitting through another 2 hours of that weather by coming to the second game of the double header and that Nicholas (at least as of this morning) does not have pneumonia. I am SO grateful that Justin is almost done with this semester and that I can have him to myself during the week...at least until the next semester starts. I am grateful my body is used to running on less than 4 hours of sleep a night or else I would be dead. At least then it could be used for research and study the exact ratio of diet coke and chocolate necessary to keep one alive--I think I have perfected it. I am grateful that my boys are patient with me and are okay with the fact that I am not a perfect mother and will most likely never win the mother of the year award. I think they are grateful that I actually remember to feed them on a somewhat regular basis. I am grateful that today is self proclaimed cynical day. I am especially grateful for family and friends who let me vent and still love me no matter what.
