mmmmmm...This means I have to explain how I feel right now, and that is always pretty complex. Maybe I'll touch on the first five that come to mind and explain them?
Proud
Most parents can understand this one...I am extremely proud of my kids. They are polite, empathetic, smart, friendly, creative, and very self-sufficient for their ages. I know I express frustrations with them and motherhood often, but as individuals, I am generally proud to say "These are my kids!"
Crampy
heh. It's moontime. 'Nough said!
Lazy
Saturday morning, who doesn't feel a little lazy? I'd like to crawl back in bed and spend the day doing nothing. The to-do list is a little long for that, though. Oh well...
Frustrated
That forementioned to-do list is NEVER done. There's always another load of laundry, toys to be picked up, yardwork to be done, or floors to scrub. That's just the day-to-day stuff, too. It doesn't go into major projects that the City likes to remind me about once in a while...the peeling paint on the windows and garage, the chipped siding, the unfinished window wells. Inside, there are unfinished projects as well. GAH! There's never enough time and money to get it all done!
Grateful
But ya know something? I am grateful for the life I have. My position in life is enviable, in my opinion. Beloved gives so much of himself to make it possible. Our friends lend a hand when we ask for help. Our kids are healthy. Our leisure time is not idle by our own choice. In general, life is full of possibility and potential, and it is only limited by me. *wry smile* Sometimes that is overwhelming...but I am grateful to have that kind of problem in the Big Picture.
