Ridiculous Behavior

Today I'm grateful for....

My sisters and Jess coming to the rescue last night, it was much needed.

Dancing, singing, and playing asshole in the bar with my sisters and Jess, completely oblivious to the other patrons. Yelling, laughing, cursing and ignoring every one else.

Our ridiculously childish behavior, our late night excursions, toilet paper, and Lisa for driving our drunk asses around.

All of us arriving home safely.

Waking up at 11am to a quiet house.

Watching Brea play soccer today.

Feeling Kayla's hand in mine, and the way she reminds me so much of Kelsey. Being able to be close to her, knowing full well the influence I have on her and teaching her how to be a strong independent lady.

Jeremy for performing magic and getting my mower started for me today, checking all the tires and fluids on my mower and my vehicles. For telling me how to care for the mower in a way that I can understand.

Watching Jeremy and Jessica be such loving parents to their children. Grateful that Jeremy is able to quiet his childhood and be the best father and husband he can be. I envy their family bond.

Grateful for a night alone in my house. Taylor at Lisa's with her best friend, Kelsey went to the mall and then spent the night with her best friend.

Staying home on a Saturday night even though I could have gone out because the kids were gone.

Realising how important quiet time is to me.

Finding some long lost self control and discipline, and making it last for more than two weeks now.

Looking forward to my girls weekend with Jess coming up. Learning how to be a real girlfriend.

Being reminded how close my family is. Being the oldest of three girls and knowing I wouldn't want it any other way. Watching them grow up, seeing them do things and make choices based on information that I've given them or things I've taught them. Being so close that we can read each other like a book. Learning from them as much as they learn from me. Knowing two other human beings as well as I know myself. Sitting with them in sadness, pushing through weakness, celebrating in joy. Seeing our differences and appreciating them.

Being an emotional, verbal, caring, compassionate, giving, loving, strong, female and not apologising for being me. I love being a girl!
