i lovely love my family: Delicious

last night as i was nursing my chubby delicious baby to sleep i had a rather delicious thought.

i thought to myself:

right now, this very minute, i have everything i've ever wanted.
delicious, right?
perhaps it is evidence of just how low my ambitions for life seem to be- but there it is.

i've got it all, baby!

i live in the greatest city in the world,
i am healthy and strong,
i love my family super much amounts,
i have an outlet for my ramblings and by jolly, people read them!
my husband loves me,
he's really hot,
and, best of all,
i am somebody's mother.

then i had another rather delicious thought,

maybe slightly less tasty, but still pretty tasty:
i have everything i want, but somehow, i want more.
you too, huh?

it is easy to look around and identify what else i could have. i want more babies, for instance. (not right this second!) i want to travel to AAAUUUSSTRAAALIAAA(insert Oprah's thrill). i want, no scratch that, i need more patience, and possibly those gorgeous anthro boots. i want more confidence in my abilities, and world peace.

i want, i want, i want!
but guess what?

having everything you ever wanted,
won't make you happy every second of every day.
only we can do that for ourselves.
and you know what?
we totally can!

and that, friends is probably the most delicious thought of all.

annnnd speaking of delicious. . .

yesterday we had lunch at my husbands work place
