Normal comes in chunks

(The sky yesterday morning on the way to work)
As much as I think I would like to return to a normal life right now, I'm working on being grateful for little chunks of normal swimming in the chaos!
This getting up early and actually putting real clothes on... uggh!
Coming down off of yet another dose of Prednisone... ack!
Wading through 2 weeks of email and voice mail.... groan!
Driving home in the dark with no idea what's for dinner... eek!
Walking in the door to see K3 give me the "you left me here with them and they don't have a clue" look.... guilt, guilt, guilt....
Still, so thankful for the progress K3 has made and the opportunity to clean things up at the office...
The picture above... I was so enamored of the sky that when I finally pulled the car over to shoot it, I ended up holding the camera at some wacky angle (note angled buildings in lower corner)! Yet I find the shot appealing.
And taking wacky pictures is just one more chunk of normal to be thankful for!
Now I'm off to see what clothes I can squeeze my big butt into. Joy. (Way too much Thanksgiving!)
How is your day?

Wacky is the new normal. I got the memo....{{{{{Hugs}}}}}
Chunks of normal are good! I love the shot of the sky despite the wacky angle - it is lovely!
I love long weekends like this past one ... I hated the chaos that is Monday morning after a long weekend, wading through the emails and voice mails .. but I am so happy you are having glimmers of normal ... and you have a cute butt!
Pfftt! Normal is overrated!
Stunning sunrise picture! The one today was memorable too!
I'm thankful you and K3 are alive and well. That you had too much Thanksgiving and so much to be thankful for. :)
Gorgeous sky! You are doing everything right and you're a wonderful mother who has had a lot to deal with, which proves your inner strength. I admire you for your fortitude.
If it makes you feel any better, I've been wearing elastic waists since Thanksgiving because I gorged myself for 3 whole days. The leftovers were even better than the actual meal!
Just caught up with you. Thank goodness things are going so well with K3 and the holidays. Glad to hear you are recovering. And who cares about not fitting into your pants. That's why it's cold in November nad December...so you can wear big clothes to cover up your extra eating. :)
I too like the tilt of the picture. It emphasizes the wispy clouds. Glad K3 is getting better. Oh, and I totally get the "can't fit the butt into the pants" thing. I'm with ya.
