I then get so angry with myself when I think about it. Why should I have a pity party?
I have a great job that I love (most of the time)
I have a fantastic family.
I live in a beautiful community.
I am fairly intelligent.
I have hobbies that I'm passionate about.
I am free to worship a forgiving God.
AND, I have great friends!
I want to be a better friend to my friends (does that make sense?), therefore I surround myself with friends who have characteristics that I relish! (hoping they will rub off I suppose)
I consider Karla one of those people. She remembers everything. If you mention you like something, she'll remember it! It can be something so minor and insignificant but she always remembers! I am amazed by her thoughtfulness.
I am also amazed at how she can work (more than a 40 hour week mind you), serve on many boards and community organizations, and still have time to garden, can her goodies, be "gram" to her grandbabies, wife, sister, aunt, stepmother, daughter, and FRIEND.
She has shared many of her garden goodies with me and others. Just this week she shared a jar of her homemade blackberry jelly.
I enjoyed said jelly on toast this evening as a late night snack. YUM!It was a great reminder to me of how blessed I am in so many ways.
My pity party is over and I plan to face the rest of week (hormones or not) with a positive outlook and better attitude.
...and to all my friends & family whether in person or online, thanks for your kind words, emails, thoughtful gifts, laughs, and cries!

glad the party's over, cause that's a crappy kind of party- specially since it's usually all alone! ;)
Friend I am like you in many ways...I have figured out that I waste time with things like FB..I love it but it keeps me from doing and being all that I can be...I have an addictive personality and tend to go in directions full force while putting priorities aside. I said the same thing today bout my LC and all that she does. 5 kids, teachers, exchange student leader, starting a kit club and online store..and I am like huh? I can barely get through a day and still or always have carry overs...and then if I didnt have Dem for my memory and my friends I would be in big trouble...what is a woman to do? Like you be THANKful...we are both so blessed with hormones..LOL. Just wanted to say thanks for stopping by my blog and for your sweetness. Have a wonderful thursday and try this..we tried to say everyting with a smile..it was funny and challenging but we so enjoyed..try it! Get back to me...hugs - Di

Kim....I don't know how you could be a better friend than you are. I am honored to have you in my life and am so glad you are my friend.
Ya gotta love those hormones! I think I am in the same boat right now! Hope you have a great week coming up!
