Cheers and Jeers, Ups and Downs

Cheers and Jeers for the weekend:

Cheers-----

I am finally lovin' my Diva cup after cutting the tip of the bottom. I almost gave up on it after 5 months of hating it. A little snip at the bottom and it is PERFECT.

My kids are feeling much better.

Even though I bitch and moan too much about Mark (usually in regard to his housecleaning skills), he is a fabulous father. The boys adore him. I mean ADORE him. He is actively involved in their lives. Not perfect, but at least AWARE of their needs and feelings. Seriously too few dads are.

I have a freezer full of dinners made by mama friends.

I love Lake Farm School. It makes our family stronger.

I love the book, "Beyond the Rainbow Bridge - Nurturing Our Children from Birth to age Seven"

My house is fairly clean right now.

I'm enjoying scrapbooking again finally.

Jeers:

The women in my extended family (i.e. sister, sil, mother) can drive me freakin' crazy with their judgements on how Mark and I parent.

Spending 4 hours watching a stupid football game is not my idea of fun. I could have been doing so many more interesting things.

Spending too much money on eating out at bad restaurants. Mark and I are determined to not do that again.

Mark playing hockey for nearly 4 hours every Sunday morning is starting to annoy the hell out of me.

Hmmmm. Maybe I should have ended with the Cheers so I could go out on a positive note. : ) Okay, so I will...

I love Will's exuberance and imaginative play. I love watching Will and Jack crawl around all night on the floor and act like puppy dogs. I love Will's wild blonde hair, and Jack's buddha belly. I love how Jack smiles for the camera. : )
