No sleep + hormones =

I only got 3 and a half hours of sleep last night. (Insomnia). Then, my cleaning lady called to cancel today's appointment and to tell me that she's not coming in the new year at all, either. In fact, she's never coming again.

My life is so horrible and crappy and these things keep happening to me and why me, why me, WHY?

Oh, wait.

That's not true at all.

Therefore, I give you, in no particular order...

Hez's List of Things She's Grateful for Right This Very Minute:

• A medium-sized, delicious latte from the fancy-schmancy coffee place, Le Gourmand.
• My friend Kim's son and his Christmas Concert video. Warmed my heart watching it.
• My friend Kim and her husband Char and their two amazingly cute kids, Liam and Nate. (They're such good friends to Andrew and I).
• Andrew. Of course. Goes without saying. (He's top of my list, always. Awww... schmoopie).
• My parents. Wonderful, amazing parents.
• My big brother, Chris.
• My in-laws.
• Christmas cookies. (Wait - I need to be more specific. See next point).
• Mom's raisin cookies.
• The wee one in my tummy.
• My house. (It's better described as a home.)
• My cat, Arwen.
• My parents' dog, Duffy.
• Boney M Christmas carols.
• The fact that people are still telling me I look nice. In my 7th month of pregnancy!
• My 7th month of pregnancy.
• My newly shaped eyebrows. (Thanks, Debbie at Concepts Salon and Day Spa!)
• Christmas with my family.

I suppose the list could go on and on. I'm feeling quite sappy today. I guess that's what lack of sleep and pregnancy hormones will do to you?

Happy holidays, everyone!
