Of family.

Sometimes life is stressful and overwhelming. Usually that falls right in step with change for me. Not a fan of change. At those times the best remedy ever is family. So, today is awesome because of my family.

For example:
Mom having food ready for me to eat.
Snacks galore.
Late night boy talks with my 14 year old sister.
Hugs from my little brother.
Endless 12 year old boy stories about YouTube videos that I have no desire to watch.
Quoting movies.
Mom hugs.
Dad rambling at his computer.
Relationship advice.
Parents actually caring about the pointless things going on in my life.
The cat. I love that cat.
The dog always running to say hi.
Doggy cuddles.
The electric blanket in the room that I get to claim as my own when I come home.
Mom packing me a lunch.
Late night snacks with the little sister.
Bugging Sidney as she is trying to sleep.
Mom staying up past her bedtime to spend time with me.
The feeling of peace when the lights of Spruce come into view when you turn that bend in the highway.
The familiarity of the city.
The feeling of home.
Chasing the cat as it runs from me.
Trying to convince the younger siblings to do everything for me.
Laughing. Lots.
Ridiculous statements like "We should call State Farm so they can find you a husband and then you can get married and then you can get a cat."
Sitting around and doing nothing but enjoying it cuz you are doing nothing with other people.
Siblings buying you tickets to their events because they were thinking of you and they want you there.
People coming to greet you at the door.
Realizing the kids are getting older and developing into these crazy little human beings with awesome personalities.
Taking credit for their awesome personalities.
Stories.
Inside jokes.

Basically, I love my family. A lot.
