Do you ever want to just tell people to suck it up? I can't harp on anyone or try to change their outlook, but I think life is a lot easier if we try to be happy for what we have. I believe we all have the power to make ourselves happy - it might not be easy or immediate, but no one can be forced to stay miserable.
I'm rather miserable TODAY - but I know it's temporary. Shortness of breath (anemia, I think) and the sweating from steroids isn't particularly comfortable, but I did go to see the girls run a 1mile race yesterday and thanks to Ironman, I am taking it easy today. Blue skies tomorrow... and hopefully a few laughs!
Here's Morgan with her "hardware" - 3rd place in her age division...
and then another little girl learned the hard lesson that not everyone gets a medal everytime...Avery is smiling here, but there were quite a few tears when the winners were announced...but I think it's important for both girls to realize that everyday isn't perfect, but we still manage to make the best of them!

How awesome to be out there supporting your kids as they challenge themselves in such a healthy way!!
And yes, the whiners are intolerable. I love the "hide profile" function on FB!!
Always better to "Laugh out Loud" :-)
Your outlook is an inspiration. If anyone had the right to whine and complain, you sure could have - but you have done nothing but take each experience and use it to grow, and teach your girls life lessons. You truly have managed to "fight like a mom" and I know I am blessed to know you!
I agree... your outlook on life is so good... you inspire me! :) Hang on... better days are ahead!
I <3 you big time!! My fave quote is something like the key to having it all is believing you already do.
