Shmoopy??

 I woke up this morning with a smile on my face, and a feeling of..joy. Not for any reason i could put my finger on, other than the fact that i appreciate my life more today, and hopefully everyday from now on. I looked at my kids and got that goofy, sappy look that makes them cringe and try to squirm out of my arms like eels..I couldn't help it. Screw thanksgiving being that one day that you thank the gods, the aliens, that pack of trident gum, or whatever it is you believe in that you're here, you're alive, and you're a member of this fantastic, screwed up, mentally warped thing we call the human race. Yes, bad things happen, tragic things that hold no reason and make you question everything..but so do the good things. The wonder at a baby's smile, or just doing something lovely for another, with no motives other than the tranfer of joy from them to you. Damn, i AM sappy today! Bear with me, folks..tomorrow i'll be back to snarking about the fact that i stepped in puppy shit twice this morning and Nicky woke up in a sea of vomit the color of every skittle blended together..Just give me this day..to ponder the things i'm lucky enough to have, wish for the things i don't, and the sarcasm to see me through whatever crap happens to hit my fan.
