Little Blessings

It is weird how the most aggravating of noises can be a part of some of the best times.  Like right now... I am really wanting to watch some stuff on TiVo that I missed tonight... Granted, I was "allowed" to watch the Bachelor, fast forwarding thru unimportant parts... ha!  But, instead of me lying on my couch watching whatever i wanted to... I am lying on my bed, watching Will & Grace reruns on Lifetime, with the sounds of "Whoopin & Hollerin" (and occasional obscenities) coming from my living room...  it is "foosball" time for the boys!!

Yes, Tyler and Jay are in the middle of many heated football games on the XBox...  As much as their outbursts interrupt my peaceful television watching, they make me realize how VERY lucky I am.   

First of all, I have found the guy that LOVES my family.   In what dream does that happen?   Now, not saying he agrees with everything they think... but, to see him with Kim or Ty or to hear him talk about them... they are HIS, too!   I am so blessed to have someone that understands my overly maternal, unnatural connection with the two of them... because, i will be the first to admit, it is weird... (but would NOT trade it!)...  

Secondly,  for my brother and sister to have someone that they trust and respect the opinion of enough to ask about anything!   If there is something they cannot ask me, Jay is there.  

I truly believe that your self-esteem and worth comes directly from those closest to you... well, maybe i should say that those closest to you have the greatest impact on making or breaking how you feel about yourself.  I really hope it boosts how they feel about themselves knowing that they will always have us in their corner, win or lose...pass or fail...  how we feel about them does not change!

So... I will sit here, on my bed and gladly be interrupted by the hoots and hollers from the living room and be happy that my two favorite guys get along so well with each other and play nice together!
