Just grateful.

Things I am grateful for...

I am grateful for my wonderful family. I am so blessed to have Braden, Tyler and Sydney in my life. Where would I be right now if I didn't have them....

I am grateful for my home. I am so lucky to have this beautiful home we live in, even if it isn't quite how I want it yet. All in good time. The neighborhood is wonderful and I love living in a circle. The kids have so much freedom to play outside without me having to worry.

I am grateful for my warm bed even if I don't get to see it much these days. I am still up all hours of the night with my sweet little girl. Ooh, but I am so grateful for her.

I am so grateful that Tyler is actually peeing and pooping on the potty. Huge milestone in my book. He hasn't had an accident in quite some time.

I am grateful for learning the secrets to saving a ton of money at the grocery store! Thanks Tracie and Stacy.

I am grateful for my job. Even if I complain from time to time, I truly have it good here. I work 4 days a week and have since Ty was born. There are a lot of freedoms here that I know I wouldn't get elsewhere.

I am grateful for my Mom and Dad. They help me out so much with the kids. My mom takes the kids every Monday and any other day that I may need her. She is so wonderful with them and Tyler says "grandma's my favorite". He loves to go to her house. He always comes home with a picture he has drawn or a fun little art project he has done with her. Thanks Mom.

I am grateful that gas prices are finally dropping. It is so expensive driving around in a jeep... Oh but I love my Grand Cherokee. I love how high I sit and how roomy it is. I like that I can haul big things in it. I will be sad to see it go some day. My next car will be something like what Braden drives, a hybrid!

I am grateful that I am able to breast feed Sydney and still work! This is a difficult task. My whole day revolves around this one thing... when I can schedule appointments, run errands etc. I know it is benefiting her greatly though.

I am grateful for my sister-in-law. She too watches my kids one day a week for me. They so love to go to aunt Sharrie's house. She always has good treats from what Tyler tells me. You have helped me out tremendously the last three years.

I am grateful for this computer. I like being able to share my thoughts with those who care. I love being able to look up someone or something at the blink of an eye. The Internet is amazing.

I am grateful for my garage. I was just telling Tyler how we used to have to park outside and how every morning in the cold I would have to go out and scrape the windows. Oh man I love my garage!!

There is so much to be grateful for in my life. Sometimes I think I complain a little to much or get frustrated to easy but I just need to remember all the good that is in my life!
