Outlook...

That is what my issue is today. I had a bad outlook on the day from the very beginning, knowing that it would be a bad day. I hardly got any sleep last night and then Joey got up at 6:30 this morning, refusing to go back to sleep, and I just knew it would be one of those days.

What I should have done, is asked God right then to change my outlook and be my strength so I could get through the day. Hopefully now the day will be better. I am still exhausted, but my ongoing prayer through the day is that I will not let sleep deprivation color the way I look at the day and I have to, with extreme mental effort, tell myself what outlook to take on the day.

On the positive side, Baby Nick has been working on his smiling muscles and actually smiled up at me this morning. I did get a picture that I will share with you, however, it is at an odd angle as he was laying in my lap as I was at the computer...but you can still see the beginnings of a smile. If I may say so, he's going to have a VERY cute smile! (No bias, of course!)

And who can have a bad day when given a smile like this?!?!! Too bad he didn't look at me like this all day long.

What is with this kid falling asleep wherever he is? He cracks me up. Here he is, his legs just dangling off the recliner, sleeping as hard as ever. Even baby Nick screaming in the swing didn't wake him up! He is so funny.

Well, my husband should be home for lunch soon, so I better get making something for him. Joey will want to eat when he wakes up too. I think I will just take a few more minutes to myself and at least get dressed though!
