My Big Ornery Butt-Head Day

Okay, so basically I am writing this blog today because I need a release. I am a big ornery butt-head today (so butt-head has become my new favorite mean name to call people: HOW TWO YEAR OLD AM I?) Anyway, I can't exactly say why, its just been one of those days when you wake up and none of your clothes look good on you, you spend all of church trying to get your too tired son to sleep, and you come home and cook a big dinner only to have to clean a big mess up. Nothing different then every other day, just today I'm ornery.
I decided maybe I needed some time to contemplate something other than my mood. I've been thinking a lot lately about the song "My Favorite Things" (I know, sometimes I can be such a cheese-head) I really thought of the words in the song and it got me thinking: what are my favorite things? So, here goes: "I simply remember my favorite things, and then I don't feel so bad"

• Fall: the crisp air, the leaves, the chill, soup, football, holidays, harvest, all of it
• Rain: not the smell after rain, the actual rain, coming down, getting you soaking wet, making big puddles to splash in, that rain; it makes me happy
• Baby Kisses: you know that big open mouth kiss they give when they first learn how to kiss, they are so sweet. My son gives those right now. I just can't get enough of them.
• Laughter: Especially that coming from my children. Kamey can just get going so bad she snorts and Coop has just started to giggle and it's that deep belly giggle, so cute!!
• My Children: You know, I asked Brandon the other day if he ever found himself just stopping and staring at our kids and finding himself completely overwhelmed and speachless at the love he felt for them. He told me no, he doesn't have time to think, he just loves them. I for one, am constantly left gawking in love and awe for my children.
• Puppies: cheesy, yet true. I love puppies.
• Opera Music: Full blast, blow your eardrums out Opera music. (I often do the same thing with Show Tunes and Classical music.)I enjoy it so much I can hardly sit still, I'm on the edge of my seat taking it all in.
• Pottery Barn Catalogs: You know in Charlie and the Chocolate Factory how he gets the candy bar and savors every tiny little bit, savoring each moment. That is how a P.B. catalog is for me. Some joys just shouldn't be rushed, you need to enjoy every moment.
• Sign Language: I can remember next to none of it, but I love it.
• Cookies: a good chocolate chip (more cookie than chocolate chips)
• Cute Clothes: Especially sweaters and skirts. I know, I'm vain and materialistic, but i I were rich, I'd have clothes.
• The Arts: Theatre, museums, symphonies, galleries, you name it. I just haven't found someone as nerdy as I am to accompany me.
• Brandon: you know, he's my best friend.

You know, I've got to stop here. There are so many little things in life that make me so happy. I've only listed a few, but my son is so unhappy with me right now that I had better stop.

Thanks for the release.
