Today's Not So Good Things:
Feeling Gross

I've been fighting a headache/throat/ear thing for about a week. It comes and goes, which is weird. Baby is finally over the worst of it. Tonite I feel like my head wants to explode. Blech.

Today was a fun day. We had a blast at a sledding party. I think it will go down as one of my children's all time favorite days ever. The only thing that would have made it better was if Mommy would have gone down the enormous sledding hill. (you had to be pulled up by snowmobile!)  I'm not sure why I didn't go. I know it would have been fun. I should have given it a whirl. There was just something in me that wouldn't do it. I'm no sure if it was just that "Mommy never does things like that". I'm not sure if it has to do with my adversion to doing things that make me feel out of control. I know I have a great fear of getting hurt and have proven to be terribly danger-prone. I *was* busy tending to littles, taking photos, checking on baby, et al. Aren't I always busy doing those things? Yes. Aren't they always the excuse I use to sit on the sidelines? Yes.

Thing is, I don't need to always sit on the sidelines. I could try something new. A five minute go down the hill would have been a great way to join the fun. I still did have a ton of fun. It was a great day. Next time, I'll set aside my old excuses, break my habit, probably shock my family and Do Something New. :-)
