Good Friday morning y'all!!! Dont you just love it when life throws you one curve ball after another and weeks have passed you by before you know it?!?! Yeah, me too....
Anywho, I wanted to do a little catching up on my "Im thankful for..." posts {it was much easier to stay on track via FB...}, so here ya go:
Day 4: My kiddos...seriously, how boring would my life be without them?!?! Love them to pieces!!!
Day 5: My home....no, I do not live in a huge house made of brick and mortor, but I do live in our 16X80 mobile HOME...where we laugh, love, disagree often, forgive one another and so much more!!!!
Day 6: Electricity...oh how the summers can be dreadful here in South Mississippi, so it is VERY nice to have air conditioning to help us cool off and then there is the occasional {never saw that one coming} snow fall that we are
cursed blessed with every now and then...soooo grateful to have that electricity to help us stay warm!!!
Day 7: My eyesight...just being able to see my childrens faces {as well as the many other loves in my life} and God's beauty all around us....SOOOO GRATEFUL!!!
Day 8: Technology...I would totally be lost if I did not have internet...SERIOUSLY!!! You see, I am at home all day long with FIVE wee ones {ranging from 3 months to 3 years}, so it is very nice to have some sort of connection with other adults {you know, the people that I do not have to assist to the restroom and/or wipe their
snotty runny noses...or have them wiped on my pants leg!} Do not get me wrong, I love these little people, but....
Day 9: My kiddos teachers...they are WAY underpaid in my opinion {since you asked}!!! I really could not ask for any better people to teach and care for my kiddos each day of the week!!! I know that they care for them as if they were their own...Thank you, Lord for blessing me!!!
Day 10: Modern Medicine...you know those curve balls that I mentioned earlier?!?! Well, lets just say that I despise my annual bout {sp?...not sure why that word looks strange...did I spell it correctly? too lazy to google} with bronchitis, but I am soooo very thankful for the meds that the dr prescribed!!!
Day 11: Pinterest...OH. MY. GRAVY. That has to be the most addicting site EVAH!!!! Yes, I know that I have already share
my obsession love for this site, but it really is worth checking out if you
are still living under a rock {I kid, I kid!} have not done so already!!! I am thankful for the quiet time that comes with my pinning and for the loads of inspiration also!!!
Day 12: Memories...with the holidays approaching rapidly, I soooo miss my Mamaw Mollie!!! She was such a special lady and I am so very grateful that I have many, many wonderful memories of her. This will be the fourth Thanksgiving since she left us and I can honestly say that it is those memories that get me thru the holiday.
Day 13: Ember...this would be my oldest daughters BFF!!! You see, my Mollie Girl has been thru so much this past year....seriously, more than I could ever bare...especially at the age of 13. However, with Ember's friendship and care, Mollie has pulled thru the darkest of times. Ember wants nothing more than to see Mollie smile again and she does something each and everyday to make it happen. What more can a mom ask for than for their child to have such a friend?!?!
Day 14: Scrapbooking paper, my ATG and lots of inspiration...seriously, scrapbooking is very therapeutical for me and it allows me to share all of the wonderful memories that I have with generations to come.
Day 15: My job...I really cannot tell you how much I love all of the little ones that I care for daily!!! Yes, there are times that I become overwhelmed {you know, when both of the 3 year olds need to go potty and require my assistance...the 2 year old has just gone potty on himself and the two babies are both screaming at the top of their lungs because they are hungry NOW and may have gone potty on themselves also?}Yeah, that kinda overwhelms me, BUT once the storm is calmed and everyone is sleeping or playing...I am reminded how blessed I am. This job allows me to be at home with my own sweet Lakon Matthew and also allows me to be a part of these other precious lives. A huge THANK YOU to the parents that have entrusted their little ones to my care!!!
Day 16: Our troops and their families...such huge sacrifices are made by these people. The troops leave their families for months at a time to ensure the safety and freedom of me and my family. THANK YOU!!!
Day 17: My health...despite my recent bronchitis diagnosis, I am fairly healthy. So many people are facing illnesses that there may/may not be a cure for. Thank you, Lord for blessing me!!!
Day 18: My hubby...yes, I did mention him at the beginning of this "I am thankful for..." journey, but the man is worth the double recognition!!! He really does so much for me and the kiddos {he isnt perfect by far, but neither am I} and I will never be able to thank him enough!!! Love you, T!!!
Okie dokie...I am caught up for now!!! Hoping to stay on track from here on out, but dont place me next to the turkey on the carving board if I fail...pretty please!!!
Have a great weekend...I am off to feast with my handsome Liam now :)
hugs...M
