You are reading my blog. You are SO lucky.

For real, you are. Because instead of laying on a ventilator restrained in multi system organ failure or maybe being incarcerated or in a whale's stomach or something, you are probably sitting somewhere in the air conditioning reading this off your iphone or ipad or i-whatever.Also you are very lucky to be reading stuff that I write because I have really awesome stuff to say. And my mom thinks I am pretty witty. And my dog loves the crap out of me so I must be pretty cool.

It kind of hit me today that I might be too lucky, and this scares me. Because whenever things seem great I feel like the universe needs to balance things out and it makes me think something bad probably needs to happen. I mean, my kids are sooooo healthy. And also adorable. And fun. I think they are the best thing to ever happen to me and pretty much the world as a whole. And I am married to a pretty great guy, things are far from perfect but we have worked through so much conflict and somehow are not divorced and love each other anyways. And we both have good jobs and we can pay like all of our bills now. Like all of them. And sometimes there is even money left over. And I get to buy shoes with it. And I ate this really great curry for dinner with cupcake wine, which I love. Also I dont hate my job or really anything about my day to day life for the most part.

So that kind of makes me worry, I mean bad things happen all the time. Like women in some parts of Africa deal with genital mutilation, and also I went to find my favorite color of nail polish at Target the other day and they no longer carry it. I was totally devastated as you can imagine. I mean, what if more bad things happen to me? What if Project Runway or Dance Moms decides to quit making episodes or something? It could totally happen.

But seriously, looking at my little life and where I came from and where I have ended up it really makes me think that things could be so much worse. I have not always made good choices and I am incredibly lucky in so many ways. And thats not just sappy blog writing, its the truth. I mean I once thought that picking up a random hitchhiker would be a good way to deal with boredom when I was 16 and also once I wore socks with birkenstocks back in the 90's. Yep. So I look at my beautiful babies and everything around me and I hope that I can continue to be this lucky.
