Grace in Small Things, September 20, 2011
1. My dad sent me this video yesterday (link below) and I cried the whole way through (in a good way). I love that my dad sends me little things like this...he's the only one who does. This video makes me want to adopt kids in need (this has always been our plan if fertility treatments don't end up working out...not to adopt a baby, but older kids, probably siblings). I was telling my husband how this video made me feel like adoption was such the better option, and he said, "We can still adopt, you know. Maybe when the twins are older we'll adopt some kids their same age." Loving the though of that...

2. I bought a hardcover book I know my mom will love as a "just because" gift for her. I almost never buy hardcover books because of the expense, but I was thinking how if I didn't have my mom, I'd be standing in the bookstore crying because I couldn't spend the money on this book for her. Got to do these things while you can, you know? (And just as an aside, both my parents are young and healthy...there's no reason to think anything is going to happen to either of them anytime soon...but nevertheless it's something I worry about/think about all the time. It's the part of my personality I'd most like to change. Must stop thinking bad things are just about to happen.)
3. Swallowed my prenatal viatmin right before lunch and promptly puked it (and the water I used to down it, and what little was in my stomach) back up into the sink. And the puke went up my nose. Ow. But my husband was home at the time and held me while I cried (I cry at everything these days.) And then he went out and got me lunch...he is the sweetest...love him so much.
4. I got asked to take on a "problem client" at work this morning, because, in the words of my boss, "You tend not to get ruffled when things get difficult." Such a nice compliment. Hope taking this on doesn't turn out to be a nightmare, but it's true, I can generally handle whatever difficult clients want to dish out.
5. Not only does my dog think he should sleep on the bed, but he nestles himself in amongst the pillows, so he's got a little pillow cloud surrounding him. Too cute.
XOXO
