I Am Thankful

There are so many things in my life that I am thankful for. Because of some recent news, I have been reevaluating my relationship with everyone that I know. What I do know, every soul is a gift from God and our life on earth is only temporary. Don't take those who are important for granted. You really don't know when will be your last conversation, last hug, or last "I love yous". I have an awesome and well connected family. I also have friends who feel more like family because they are so special. I am soooo thankful to all of you and am not so sure that I would have made it through this past year, with my sanity, if it wasn't for the support of my family and friends. I am thankful for them.

I can't say enough about the people in my life but I also want to give an extra special praise out to the Grandma's who help us take care of our kids. Taking care of them is a job like no other. While it is rewarding, it "is" the hardest work that anyone can do. I cannot imagine working and having to worry about who is taking care of my kids, if they are safe, happy, etc. Thank you Grandma's for that peace of mind. I am thankful that they love and care for my kids.

Then there is my husband...He's the greatest. Although the whole laundry thing isn't working out so well, he has given it his all. His main goal has been to run around like crazy trying to get the kids here and there after school, to come home and prepare dinner and to quickly clean house before I arrive home from work. It's an impossible job but he is determined to make my life as easy as possible. It's hard to imagine the after school chaos but anyone who has witnessed it (mom, that means you) can really understand the craziness. He is awesome and I love him for being so great. I am thankful that he is not only a great dad but a great husband.

Of course I am thankful for my three, not so little, babies. Everything I do, I do with them in mind. I live and breath for them and would do anything for them. They are great kids who will do big things in life. I am thankful that I get to be their mom.

Other things that I am thankful for include the health of those who are so important to me, the home that I live in, and a job that I love. I feel truly blessed.
