I'm reminded lately that we are very very fortunate just to have two healthy children. Healthy. That's all that matters. I've been pitying myself a lot lately, for a bunch of reasons. I'm unemployed. I miss adult conversation. I miss the interaction. I miss getting a check and recently when we did our taxes my ego took another punch when I was listed as a dependent. I'm dependent on someone for the first time in a very long time. But I can't sit here and wallow because there are two precious little people who are completely dependent on me. Got to get out of the mindset of self pity. Got to get over it. Soon. Because the smaller one is starting to rock back and forth on her hands and knees and soon I won't have time to feel sorry for myself. Maybe that's a good thing.
