I cannot be modest

Do you ever run into those people who always downplay their life? They make it sound like they are barely getting by and they make you depressed to just talk to them? Is it wrong to not want to talk to those kind of people? They are such a downer. Find some happiness already people!

I have a hard time restraining myself, and I don't want to make other people feel bad, but my life is awesome, and I just want to tell everyone. It's Monday morning and I feel this way!

After what seemed like a never ending rough patch with my husband, I have the husband that I have always wanted! He's been so wonderful, sweet, kind and generous. He always wants to spend time with me and the kids, we do all sorts of fun stuff and he always makes me laugh. He also makes me cappuccino's all the time - that alone gets him extra points! I have 2 great kids, they are smart and funny. They love me so much and never hesitate to tell me. They think I am the greatest mother that ever lived. How can you not be happy with that around?

I am not sure what is up with me today, but I feel so happy and thankful. I could find things to bitch about - the weather is top of my list - but why bother. Things are great and I am just happy to be a part of it. Is it wrong to answer - how are you doing? - with - " I am awesome!"? Is that taboo? Should I be just ok? Well I'm not. I am freaking awesome and I want everyone to know!

Maybe it's the fact that I leave for summer vacation in 65 days and have something to look forward to. Maybe it's because the kids got to school on time and my son made his own breakfast, got my paper and turned on my computer for me. Maybe it's because my daughter got dressed all by herself and didn't want my input just to wear something other than what I picked. Did I mention she's 11 and very picky about her clothes already? Maybe it's because I went to the gym and ran my ass off and I feel great. I am also halfway through my list of things to do and I don't mind the rest of the stuff on my list. Maybe it's because my doctor acknowledges that I am fat but fit and he's very happy with that. There's nothing worse than a doctor that tells you to change your lifestyle when they know nothing about you! What, should I sit my ass on the couch and eat bon bons? But he recognized that I do work my ass off, I just happen to be voluptuous....and damn proud of it thank you!

Anyway, maybe it's the fact that spring has got to be here soon, the sun is shining and there is nothing too bad in my life right now and that's why I am just so happy. Who cares what the reason is, I am happy and thankful that I am! Happy Monday!
