Things I am grateful for today...

#1 The Food Value Club! It is amazing how God is personally blessing us with each box. Last week, we got 3 packages of D's favorite beef jerky. This week, it's the BBQ sauce - he only likes KC Masterpiece and there was one bottle in there! That is so exciting to me.

#2 The weather has been gorgeous these past two nights that the boys were out on their bikes for two hours. I find when there is more space for each kid, the less they fight and the less I stress.

#3 My mom has agreed to watch the boys so I can go to Bunco tomorrow and to co-op Saturday morning. She is even going to stay all day so I can hang out with D. at the races. I have been feeling a little "off" lately and I know this will ease my anxiety a little.

#4 Dr. Laura's book The Proper Care and Feeding of Husbands is truly helping me to change my perspective of the situations around me and I feel more content with staying home and my role as a wife and mother. I am beginning to "like" my kids again.

#5 I am grateful for good friends. I used to feel very alone in this world and now that I have found some support, I really could not go back to that old life. I work hard every day to be more outgoing and I now like meeting new people (still in small numbers at a time though ;-) .
