Hard day!

I am grateful for a new bathroom.
I am grateful for a family.

Kids

I am grateful for
1. Boys who were very cooperative and played well today while I cleaned.
2. Wendy's smile!

Birthday pampering.

I am grateful for a husband who wants to, and I think in a way enjoys, pampering me. Here is an example.
1. A 1 hour surprise massage for my birthday.
2. Entertaining the kids while I lounged in bed reading and resting.
3. Watching a movie of my choice with me, even when he was tired.
4. Making dinner, a birthday cake, and helping the kids present presents.

My birthday was a huge success. Thanks mostly to a husband who pampered.

Hecticness

Well a lot has been going on lately, a lot of it in my mind. I am constantly thinking about moving to Mississippi, selling our home, Christmas, finances, Young Women's, etc. So with all this I am grateful for. . .
1. Sleep
2. Reading
Both these activities stop the hecticness from getting out of control. Or at least I hope they do.

Home

Last week we went to my parents. I am grateful for. .
1. A family that laughs with each other.
2. Safe travel, we had a flat tire and some snowy weather, but we made it safe both directions.
3. A play room, Zachary and Eric played nicely with one another and with their cousins.

Random

Today I am grateful for. . .
1. Having a clean house when we leave for vacation. Unfortunately this seldom happens.
2. Finding out how my newest little one is doing. I have an ultra-sound today!

House

We have a Realtor coming tonight to walk through the house and let us know what he thinks we should fix and what we could expect to list the house for. I know Kyle is a little upset that we put so much money in, but will get so little out with how the housing market has gone, it is a little disappointing. I know I am having a hard time with thinking about the actual logistics, cleaning, fixing stuff, etc. However, even with all that, here are a few things we can be grateful for.
1. We have a house to shelter, keep us warm, and clean.
2. We paid off our loan fast enough that we are not upside down, in other words we should be able to sell the house for what we still owe.
3. I guess we can look upon this endeavor as an adventure, what a lot of things we will learn.
