So very thankful...


The past week has been a tough one, I most certainly don't feel like "Mother of the Year". The girls have been extra whiney, can't seem to share anything, Madison has started throwing temper tantrums, potty training isn't going well...basically my patience is in tatters.

Then as I read Nora Griffin's story and Staci's on Willow Traders, I realize I have so much to be thankful for. My girls are happy, healthy and here at home safe with me. I should be rejoicing in this fact rather than wallowing in my own self pity. I needed the reminder, and tonight when I checked in on them, tucked in their beds, I took a moment to just watch and be thankful.

Yes, we do have so much to be thankful for. When I saw that post on her blog it really broke my heart. I really hope she's able to get the baby back. ugh.

Thank you.

Sometimes it's so easy to lose track of what's important and what we should 'let go of' and forget about. ((hugs))
