When things get really crappy for me, I force myself to start writing gratitude lists. And I start paying attention to all of the really nasty thoughts my brain conjures up for me. <br /><br />And then... I don't know if Murphy's allergic to that sort of thing or maybe I just become less sensitive to his presence. But it seems to work. It's just kind of exhausting for me to maintain it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8465887551310827456.post-70050681463217407382011-08-24T10:37:04.898-04:002011-08-24T10:37:04.898-04:00Girl, I am the same boat with you.

I have a spare bedroom and Murphy is the whiny child that occupies space!<br /><br />I also have children with issues, not the same, but equally social prohibitive. I am in a wheelchair part time (slow getting out of it) and we indulge our children as well, in life experiences.<br /><br />Hang in there girl! It will happen! 12K is nothing to smirk over - that is HUGE!Jenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02863887265545701157noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8465887551310827456.post-44336132284536078022011-08-24T09:30:25.868-04:002011-08-24T09:30:25.868-04:00Congrats on your 500th post!

Having kids enjoy their childhood is important and your children sound like wonderful people.<br /><br /> At our house getting underwear is exciting too. For everyone. <br /><br />I know you will get through this. And your honesty is 100% appreciated. You are the Queen of reworking a plan. <br /><br />Happy 500!Nikihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03331985160772173912noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8465887551310827456.post-49516095407250074222011-08-24T08:38:45.689-04:002011-08-24T08:38:45.689-04:00Congrats on Post#500! 12k in 2 years is great!

Sometimes when you're making your garden and you've got your shovel in hand, you hit rock. And not just any rock, big huge boulders that seem impossible to get free. So then you have to pry and chip and pry some more to get it out. Your garden seems to have a lot of big huge rocks.... but you're making progress. And when its all done, its going to be fabulous and beautiful and colorful. <br /><br />Congratulations on #500!Sasshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10348650157037720366noreply@blogger.com
