I amaze myself

I amaze myself that by the end of the day, I haven't put my kids up for sale.

I amaze myself that I can hear a text coming in on my cell phone upstairs, when it's on vibrate, and I'm in the basement doing laundry.

I amaze myself that I've been married to an electronic-buying-junkie husband for seven years and I haven't hit him on the head with any of those electronics-yet.

I amaze myself that I can spend the whole day at home with a box of brownie mix and not make it.

I amaze myself that I can watch two hours of reality television and not lower my IQ-I think. Wait, what did I just say?

I amaze myself that I haven't had a nervous breakdown, dealing with my oldest daughter's weekly crisis.

What do you do to amaze yourself?

  3. I amaze myself that I have yet to be committed when trying to deal with the logic of a teen daughter.

  4. Let's see...

    I amaze myself that I can live in the cloud of testosterone that is a household with two teenage boys and not go out of my mind.

    I amaze myself that I can keep up with laundry and yet never quite bring myself to do anything about the dust I see around me.

    I amaze myself that I can have so many very bad dating experiences and yet still feel optimistic.

    Ooh, that last one makes me feel tired so I'll stop.
