blessings

tonight i ordered pizza. a creation by some obscenely overweight Italian no doubt. but a wonderful creation nonetheless. it's such a perfect marriage of everything delicious! meat, cheese, veggies...crust. man do i love crust. in all its white-bread, bad-carbs, lack-of-nutrients glory! as i ate it, i lazily slouched on the couch and watched the movie "extraordinary measures". i was a little surprised, as it was a fairly touching and well-done movie, despite the fact that Brendan Fraser AND Harrison Ford were both in it. at the same time. in the same scenes. but i love me some Keri Russell. :) anyway...watching it made me realize how blessed i am that Livvy was born without complications, diseases or deformities of any kind. it makes me check my attitude at the door when i realize i've been complaining that she doesn't always sleep through the night, or that she won't eat her food in a timely manner. to not have all of that constant worry, piling medical bills, etc is really something a good deal of people take for granted daily! i just cried so hard. i think being a parent really helps you understand those kinds of things more deeply. you feel more...and now i need ice cream.
