Sometimes I feel very frustrated with my life, so I’m going to try to make a list of what I’m proud of about my life right now:

-I’ve worked out 857 minutes so far this month, that’s over 35 minutes a day!

-I’m providing both my children with the perfect food: breastmilk.

-I’ve got 99% of our tax stuff ready to send to our accountant. Okay, so you’re all thinking that’s a copout since I’m sending them to the accountant, but I’m really not qualified to do the taxes for an S-corp and we have so many deductions now that I’m really intimidated to do our personal taxes. But, I’ve collected all our documents and finished the business ledger for 2005 (every dollar that came in and went out through the business has to be accounted for), and I’ve even sent off all our quarterly reports and annual use tax filing already. Go me!

-I really like the way my house decorated. I love the way we’ve painted it, I like most of our furniture, and I like the layout of our house a lot. Not that I think I’m an interior designer, but I think I’ve done a nice job of decorating our house to express me and David’s personalities.

-I’ve spent a lot of time this week working on the kids’ baby books. So cheesy, but satisfying. Mary Virginia mailed us a baby book for Ellie and we just got it yesterday, and I’ve already got as much filled out as possible right now.

-And, what I’m most proud of is my family. Killian is very bright and extremely healthy (even though he has a cough right now), and Ellie seems to be the most contented baby ever. Someone once told me they thought it would be awful to be a baby because you’d never know when/if you were going to be fed or changed, you’d be at the mercy of those around you. Maybe. But I think my babies are very lucky – I doubt they ever considered the possibility they wouldn’t be fed immediately when hungry, or comforted immediately when they’re scared, and they have plenty of diapers and clean clothes. That’s the whole point of attachment parenting – to let the child know that their needs will be met. Then they grow into confident and happy children.
