Day 83

March 25, 2014

I'm grateful for good doctors.  I'm probably thankful for this a lot.  But hey, put things in perspective....we see a lot of doctors, we have to make a lot of decisions....all of the time...and I am grateful for doctors that we trust, who listen, give good advice and really have the best interest of my kiddos at heart.  It makes our adventures a lot easier!

Day 80

March 22, 2014

I'm grateful for learning new things.  Sometimes I think my brain is too full....then I realize how little I know.  And I'm so grateful for opportunities that let me broaden my horizons and teach me new stuff.

Saturday, March 22, 2014

Day 79

March 21, 2014

I'm grateful for one on one time with my kids.  It doesn't always happen in the most opportune ways (like doctor and hospital visits)....but I am grateful for the time we have to talk and touch base!

Day 78

I'm grateful for new and exciting opportunities (like being a state delegate).  Okay I'm a little terrified....but I'm excited to be DOING something!

Wednesday, March 19, 2014

Day 77

I'm grateful that Noah made it through his first treatment unscathed!  It started out rough....he's taken some pretty big backward steps....but all went well and now we know what to expect!  And hopefully he will be breathing easier before too long!!!

Day 76

I'm grateful for guilty pleasures (like The Walking Dead).  There I said it.  And I'm not ashamed!  Sniffle....props Mika....props.

Day 75

March 17, 2014

I'm grateful for the calm after the storm.  Yeah, yeah, yeah....most people are grateful for the calm before the storm....but man, this is one of those times that I am grateful for the calm after the storm.  There was a windstorm, and I love wind, but knowing the destruction wind can cause, I was grateful it when it was over and all was well.  But I'm being a smidge more metaphorical....and in the storms of life, when we endure, I'm grateful when the wind stops blowing and we are given a measure of peace.

Monday, March 17, 2014

Day 74

March 16, 2014

I'm grateful my husband is home!  YAY!  Having a husband that travels sucks....but it makes me appreciate him so much more.  He works so hard, and I'm so grateful for everything he does, but I'm seriously grateful when he gets home.

Sunday, March 16, 2014

Day 73

March 15, 2014

I'm grateful for late night movie nights!  We love movies!  We love sci fi (phonics worked for us....sorry syfy channel)!

I'm grateful for my sisters!  It's an easy one to think of (since it's my pi baby's birthday!).  Happy Burfday Karey!

Friday, March 14, 2014

Day 71

March 13, 2014

I'm grateful when I do things for myself.  I don't do it often and when I do, it's usually something ridiculous like picking the show we are watching...but hey, I did it....I did something for me!  YAY ME!

Thursday, March 13, 2014

Day 70

March 12, 2014

I'm grateful for peace in the midst of storms. John 14:27 "Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you.  Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid."  Crazy things happen in this world...REALLY crazy things...but there is calm among the storms of life.

Day 69

I'm grateful for extra days off of school!  Four day weekends kind of rock a little bit.

Day 68

March 10, 2014

I'm grateful for time.  Time to heal.  Time to learn.  Time to love.  Time to fix mistakes.  Time to get better.  Time to be better.  Time to teach.  Time is a beautiful thing.

Monday, March 10, 2014

Day 67

March 9, 2014

I'm grateful for laughter.  Best. Stress. Relief. Ever.  It just is.  I can totally be a ticking time bomb...but seriously...laughter is the best medicine.

Saturday, March 8, 2014

Day 66

March 8, 2014

I'm grateful for the promptings if the spirit, especially when they lead us to protect a loved one.  It may be an unpleasant situation, but it is exactly where we need to be.

I'm grateful for fried rice.  Because it's yummy.  And now I know how to make it from scratch.  Yay me!

Friday, March 7, 2014

Day 64

March 6, 2014
I'm grateful for nights with friends.  Laughter, stories, listening, supporting....just being there for each other.   It's not really friendship....it's family.

Thursday, March 6, 2014

Day 63

March 5, 2014

I'm grateful for seatbelts.  They keep me safe.  They keep me secured in my car so I can just jump out all willy-nilly and hurt others....seatbelts are good.

Wednesday, March 5, 2014

Day 62

March 4, 2014

I'm grateful for pancakes.  I just love those fluffy little piles of goodness.  Happiness is.....

Tuesday, March 4, 2014

Day 61

March 3, 2014

I'm grateful for school administrators.  Okay, it helps when they are friends.  But I am grateful for school administrators that listen, advise and get involved to help my kiddos.  The are so undervalued and their jobs are so hard, but I am so incredibly grateful for the gift they are to my family because we are not easy on them....not even a little teeny tiny bit.

Monday, March 3, 2014

Day 60

Sunday, March 2, 2014

Day 59

March 1, 2014

I'm grateful Noah was approved for Xolair.  I'm terrified of the next steps.  Since the costs are anywhere from $5000-$10000 a treatment....I guess let the adventure begin!  This could be huge for him and it may help his lungs start healing...FINALLY!  We call the doctor on Monday and start the process....here we go!!!!

Day 58

February 28, 2014

I'm grateful for rain.  I love rain!  I mean...I LOVE rain!  I love the feel, the smell, the sound...oh yeah and I love water....so it's a win/win all the way around.
