Adulting

Adulting is hard work. I want to go back to being a kid, where the toughest thing about life was nap time. Today I had to be an adult and go grocery shopping- one of my least favorite types of shopping. I started my day off right by sleeping in and having weird dreams about being on a boat in the bayou and looking for monkeys. After that exciting adventure, I took Easter for a nice long walk to enjoy the lovely weather before the snow arrives. Then it was time for a lunch date with a friend! We had good food, good conversations, and lots of laughs. I made her keep me company at the grocery store so I was less likely to shoot myself. I was in and out faster than normal because I had her there to push me along. I came home satisfied, knowing that I wouldn't have to make another run for another month or so. After the groceries were unpacked, I settled in for a quiet evening home alone- just me and Easter. We watched a few movies, fixed dinner, and got ourselves ready for Teen Mom night! It was another intense episode, filled with drama. Just how I like it. I think the after show had just as much drama. But now I think it is getting close to bed time. Easter is curled up next to me, head lazily resting on my free knee. Her random sighs tell me that bedtime is calling her name. She has been so good lately, and I can't help but feel like she has finally completely come out of her shell. It's like she has reached a new level of comfort and knows that I am her forever mama. She has learned that she doesn't need to pee on my carpet to get attention or to punish me for leaving. She knows her mama ALWAYS comes home. And I think Elvis has finally accepted the fact that his new sister is staying and he even lays next to her on the couch. Man oh man do I love my fur babies. But that's not new information. 

I hope my wonderful readers find the positivity in their lives and focus on taking strides to leading a happier life. In one short month, I've gained so much happiness and solely because I have chosen to see the good things in life instead of making the negative moments a priority.
