It is always good to count your blessings. Especially when you have a day like today. So let the counting begin.
1)Car-glad I have one so I can take my kids wherever and go shopping when needed and to collect all the food, dirt, shoes, jackets, homework makeup games and toys the kids don't need right away.
2)Peace-Jack is really good in the shopping cart so I can take a long time with a big shopping list.
3)Coupons-We have saved a ton of money since discovering how to use them.
4)School-My kids go to a great one, so it was okay that I couldn't pull out all the stuff I wanted to use coupons on that the cashier didn't scan and repay for them because Sam was getting out of kindergarten.
5)Lunchables-so no lunch was actually prepared
6)Porch-Ours is a nice size so when I dropped the apples while unloading groceries only one of them made it to the end and fell in the dirt.
7)Friends-Mine and the kids. We all have great ones. Probably the only bright side to the day.
8)A job-I enjoy mine and it gives me a sense of accomplishment. It is super flexible so I can work around a lot of things. Except staff meeting which is every other Thursday (what day is it now-every other Thursday)
9)Long Drives-To work, no less. It is great to spend that much time with screaming children.
10)Voice-Singing to above mentioned screamers until they fall asleep in the car.
11)Texting-Because waving at your husband as he goes one way on Unity Pass and you go another just isn't enough contact for the week. AND it lets you know during a meeting that the kids are fighting without actually getting called out of the meeting.
12)Laundry-Yep that's right. A great punishment for kids who are not doing what they are supposed to when mom is gone.
13)Dog Poop Clean up-See 12
14)Washing walls and baseboards with toothbrush-See 12
15)Spotless Bathrooms-See 12
I could go on.
See there is something to be thankful for in every day. I hope yours finds as many blessings as mine did.
