Corner View - CONTRAST

Today's Corner View theme is Contrast and our host is Dana.

THINGS THAT I AM LOOKING FORWARD TO AND AM EXCITED ABOUT:

1. This movie:



2. Reading the stacks of books that sit all over my house, steadily but surely, constantly:

3. Editing the first fifty pages of my book, finally, and sending to an agent. Know anyone?

4. Dancing with my son at the Mother/Son Cotillion at the end of the month

5.  Sunny winter days in Los Angeles when the rest of the country is freezing (no exulting in other's misfortune, just gratitude for PLACE)

THINGS THAT I DREAD AND AM NOT EXCITED ABOUT:

1. The Husband's insane Christmas season schedule of twenty hour working days and lots of grouchiness.

2. The impending need to find a high school for Sophie for next year. Good God.

3. Paying our property taxes (I might have to send the boys out to sell matchsticks).

Guilio del Tore

4. Having our respite benefits cut by Regional Center.

5. Filling out the forms to see if Sophie qualifies with a waiver for IHSS (in-home supportive services) and then waiting to see whether she qualifies.

6. Christmas letters from people whose lives are seemingly perfect.
