Perfection Pending...

June 7, 2010

Is my life perfect…well that is a very quick no! I’m overweight, overstressed, under paid, and over worked. I’m addicted to Coke, the liquid kind not the snort up the nose kind but probably as destructive and certainly as addicting. I have no real clear path on what my future holds or even where I am going to place my next step. I know we are to strive for perfection in everything but you know what…I’m happy! I’m happy that my stomach is a foreshadowing of B at nine months (I’m hoping that I work backwards and lose mine as she gains hers), I’m happy to have a family that loves and supports each other. Yesterday we had our quarterly Seelos get together with the cousins and aunts and uncles in my parent’s backyard. Mom was all alone as dad is still in Guam but we all dug in and got the job done. Mom commented that she couldn’t wait for Tuesday because then all the stress and work of the weekend would be over and I quietly reminded her not to wish away the moments that would build our memories for tomorrow. She agreed. So we ate too much food and played volleyball, we planned future activities and we laughed and teased as only the Seelos family could. I sat there in my camp chair talking with my cousin Jenn who although 10+ years older than I is a great friend and I looked at my family and counted my blessings naming them one by one. Perfection is great but I’m happy to be in the pending stage!
