I have had a rotten day. First Kennedy has been a little touchy today crying at the drop of the hat and even throwing herself on the floor from time to time. Kennedy is cutting more molars which is making her diapers a little nasty. I waited all morning on a plummer who charged me $50 to tell me he couldn’t tell me what was wrong without cutting my ceiling open which would cost me $250 on top of the cost to fix whatever the problem may be. Then Kennedy spilt a whole cup of milk all over the floor. Brand new strawberry milk. Very sticky (although Potter was a happy poodle as I dashed for the mop.) An Thursday is back to work day. I am so sad and weepy just thinking about it. So I decided that being the optomist that I am I am going to write 34 things I have to be happy about (34 hours until I am back at work.)
- I have a happy, healthy baby
- I have an awesome husband
- I have a poodle who thinks I am wonderful
- I do love working with children with Autism
- I have a job that allows me to be home with Kennedy at times throughout the year
- I LOVE my day care lady
- Kennedy LOVES my day care lady
- I learned this summer to take a piece of fabic and my thoughts and come up with a beautiful dress for Kennedy
- Kennedy has a beautiful shaped head
- I have been blessed with the ability to nurse for 15 months (although I’m hoping to ween soon)
- I have a great group of friends at work
- Clemson football is just around the corner
- Jay is going to bring me a cupcake on Thurday (hint hint)

35. You are an awesome person! And I feel so lucky to be at OPES with you!
Your optimistic attitude is wearing off on me. I was having a “moment” and then I clicked on your blog and feel so much better. I’ve been trying to focus on all the positive things, but your post helped remind me. Thank you!
