Dwell on the Positives

You know, some days it is good to just dwell on the positives.

Today's Positives:

• My husband is kind of amazing.  He is so good to me.  He respects me.  He loves me.  
• Baby Girl, Buds, and Bubba love each other.  Sometimes they even show it.
• Judah, Rosie, Cleo, and Ollie bring joy to me.  They are so sweet and snuggly.
• I have a family that supports me, even if they have quirks.  Better still, they support me despite mine.
• There was tea in my day.  Sanity in a cup. 
• Nick Jr has an iPad app.
• My favorite TV show posted a new episode.
• My house is full of laughter and fun today.

See?  Look at all of those positives!

I need to dwell on them today.  And do you know why?



Really, do you want to know?



Ok, I am going to be real with you then. 



I needed to dwell on the positives today because:






POOP!






Holy Mutton!  Days like today just seem filled with the stuff.  Between a toddler in diapers, a 4 year old who, for reasons unknown to me, refuses to use the big potty and insists on using the potty chair, and housebreaking a puppy, there is POOP in my life right now. 

Don't get me wrong.  I know what I signed up for with children and puppies and such.  That doesn't make it an un-stinky proposition. 

So today, I will dwell on the positives.  Because they are actually the things that matter.  In the midst of the mess, yes, even the poop, they are what matter. 

So think positive, and stay messy (as if we had any other option!)
