I am being such a witch...
 
and realized that I have total "hand" right now.

I am just cranky and my kids are driving me batty and I am tired of winter and I want to have enough money to buy myself some clothing that fits and I can't think of what to make for dinner and the cat threw up on my bed.

So, I was really mean to my husband today...of course, since that is what normal (non codie) wives do when they are cranky...right?

And he just smiled at me and told me he loved me and asked what he could do to help.

I think that he is going to be sucking up for a while and I should be cranky more often.

He is making dinner. ;)

I can recognize that I am cranky and I am not just a bitch all the time.
I HAVE 2 beautiful children who can speak and move and be VERY active.
Spring WILL come, it always does.
My clothing is too BIG, not too small.
I have choices for my food.
My bedspread is washable and at least it wasn't a kid throwing up.

And yes, my husband is sober and willing to take my crap as well as make dinner.

Oh yeah...it is all about the perspective!

Thanks

Jenny

Nice turnaround Jenn.
Men who cook dinner make me swoon. :D
