Day 238

August 26, 2014

I'm grateful when I make it through the crazy relatively unscathed.  There is a lot of crazy that goes on around here....and surviving it takes a lot of effort.  I tend to mess thing up...on a relatively frequent basis....like thinking I had managed to already get Noah passed off as a Star Scout last year (Nope!).  So that puts us 6 months behind...thank goodness he took it gracefully and his Life Scout stuff is already done and we only have to wait for the time limit.  So when we make it through the crazy....it is truly, truly, TRULY a blessing!

Day 223

August 11, 2014

I'm grateful when I get a chance to take care of me.  A minute to go to the doctor for me.  I'm always at the doctor for everyone else...so when I get to take care of my own issues....It's really a pretty big blessing.

Day 222
