I’m “Blank” Because…

Tonight I’m playing along with Little Miss Momma‘s call out for posts…why not…it’s Sunday night.

So here’s me in Amy Winehouse/Snooki drag from Halloween a few weeks back.  Cuz I hate taking pictures of myself in the name of blogging. Gah.

I’m weird because…
I owe nearly 10,000 books.
I love my technology, but I still need to write lists and have many paper products.
I need to write in Sharpie.
I collect lunchboxes.
I still have all my notes from high school.
I drink my coffee black.
I wear mismatched socks.  Often.
I color my grey hairs with sharpies.

I’m frustrated because…
I wish I could just hit a damn drive-thru sometimes. Damn gluten.
Moose’s preK session is smack-dab in the middle of our day.
Our health insurance won’t cover all the therapy Moose needs.
I want to make money for my family, but daycare would cancel out my salary.
I want to go back to school for a 3rd degree in holistic nutrition, but I barely have the energy for my life as is.

that smile was manufactured by coffee.

I’m sad because…
this week marks 4 years since I lost my dad.
I won’t be spending Thanksgiving with my mom as she’s visiting our family in Vegas.
My best friend lives in L.A. and she was just diagnosed with celiac.
I wish I lived there and could help her adjust to gluten-free living.
I can’t eat gluten anymore without getting sick.
My husband has been working massive overtime, and the kids and I miss him.
I don’t paint as much as I used to…

clearly, someone caught the art gene.

I’m happy because…
Moose is getting better each day.
Monkey is a riot.
I get to raise my sons.  And write.  {it’s all I’ve ever wanted.  Love and art}
I’m healthier than I’ve ever been.
My blog is helping others.
King and I have been getting along…
My house is kinda clean.  And organized.  Til tomorrow…

I look forward to…
pimping a swagger wagon
many new babies in 2012-everyone I know is pregnant
kicking ass in the name of autism
learning more about nutrition in 2012
paying off all my debt and medical bills
have boundless energy and patience with my children.

and Lord knows you need plenty of patience
and paper towels.

    Great post! I also drink my coffee black and sharpie out my greys. I knew we were kindred spirits. Great pics! Thanks for sharing.

    I feel you on the drive thru, really nothing is safe when you have a gluten issue, I’ve been living gluten free for a year and I’ve never felt better when it comes to my energy levels and overall stomach issues. I was fortunate to have a friend with a strong gluten sensitivity when I had to come to terms with the fact that gluten couldn’t be a part of my edible life anymore. I can’t imagine adding children to that mix! You are an inspiration!
