I am thankful...

I am thankful for medications. I know that it is supposed to be stressful going through a divorce. I seem to do ok at work but I come home and have NO PATIENCE. Maybe it is because I live with the Mom. I need to get this whole process moving again so that I can get my own place. I have lived here for 6 months and I am already counting down to the 4 months of when she moves to the lake for the summer.

I am thankful for high speed DSL and the Dish. These luxuries enable me to "hide" in my room, watch TV and work on the computer without keeping the phone busy for hours.

I am thankful for cell phones. I really have only given out my cell phone number to people to contact me. I am not scrutinized as to who is calling and why. A few people have called the "landline" and oh... the questions that followed from Mom about the names on caller ID. I am also thankful for the detailed reports they send in the bills. It helped me know when Big Red was stepping out of line while claiming to be "working on us".

I am thankful that I have a job so I can leave the house for 40+ hours a week and make friends to have adult conversations. I love that a two year old will tell you how much he likes your hair even if it looks the same day after day.

I am thankful for my church community and my friends. They have come around me and helped to walk me through this even when I have felt I couldn't take another step.

I am thankful that I have been able to somewhat retain my sense of humor...

How Smart is Your Right Foot?

This is so funny that it will boggle your mind.
And you will keep trying at least 50 more times to see if you can
outsmart your foot, but you can't.

1. While sitting at your desk, lift your right foot off the floor
and make clockwise circles.

2. Now, while doing this, draw the number "6" in the air with your
right hand. Your foot will change direction.

Oh the things I do to amuse myself...
