i should clarify........ and top ten Tuesday
that when lance says "if that is the biggest thing you have to worry about..." and then says "things must be going pretty well! " and i generally am talking about some drama with going out, or girls night and lame petty stuff. and it is all lame petty stuff. but when he says it I think," hey ! you know i have bigger stuff going on on a daily basis! " and then i quit whining about whatever lame thing i was whining about. i think he is trying to be patient when he is saying it to me. actually and i just always take it wrong. that is just part of being a hormonal woman.
******************************************************
and then i mentally list all the crappy times we have survived, and think yeah , here are my top ten for this week!
1. Epstein Barr isn't so bad! it is better than Lymphoma. even if it is a chronic life long thing !
2. Thyroid cancer isn't so bad, it is better than brain cancer. they can take out your thyroid but they can't take out your brain. and they can replace those hormones with a little pill but they can't replace brain cells with a pill.
3. being out of work for the summer, in a computer Job is better than no work anywhere at all. because there is still construction. glad lance has mad skills! and now we have a new job, YAY!
4. our new lame dental insurance is better than no dental insurance.
5. our health insurance with the new job is better than no group insurance, and not being able to get covered since i have cancer. and they called and they pay the whole premium which was not small! but we didn't find that out until today! yay!
6.being fat and happy is better than being thin and bitchy from the dieting.
7. having one baby and one sick kid home from school is better than 6 healthy kids home all day, everyday, all summer long!
8. seeing an old friend after a few years is freaking great! even though you never knew you missed them.
9. feeding the family something from a box (mac and cheese) is better than feeding them nothing.
10. drinking a red bull because i stayed up too late is better than napping all day and having a headache!
Gotta look on the bright side! and make the most of what we've got! and Hope everyone has a great day!

There you go! Great list!
That is one of the many things I admire about you is your positive outlook on so many things! I had to do the same when caden was diagnosed with his diabetes. I thought my life was caving in on me..first the little guy has to under go two heart surgeries..and now this, all by the age of 2! It was a difficult thing for me to grasp..until I realized atleast with diabetes, as long as I do my job..he will be just fine. I have a friend who's little girl has cancer ...so the more time went by, I had to realize that things can always be worse! Diabetes or no diabetes..he will always be my special boy!
I love how positive you are, loved your list!
