Grateful for the small things too!!

So I've decided this week I'm only posting about being grateful and thankful:) So I wish it were earlier in the evening so I could share more BIG things I'm thankful for.... but instead I'll share some small things from today:)

*A Warm Shower
*A Reliable Van
*"CHEAP" Gas - seriously got it for $1.68 amd saw it for $1.63 :)
*Packing an extra bucket(with a lid) since Christopher looked a little pale to me
- He started throwing up about 15 minutes from home!!!! On his B-day :(
*WIPES
*A Walmart at every exit:)
- Had to run in to get Pedialyte and crackers
*Coupons... hahhaa
-With a coupon basically got a container of Pedialyte FREE
*A Welcoming Mother-in-Love ready to help, wash and fix us lunch.... WAY, WAY grateful for her, her sweetness and self-less service to us!!
*NAPS!!!
*Cute and Clean clothes for my kids - again, my sweet mother-in-love, as well as my mom and friends and neighbors and good out-of-season clearance sales:)
*Fellowship Dinner at a Welcoming and Loving Local church
*BED!!!!

Lord, help me to be always thankful!

oh grief haha.. poor chris!!
good post tho :-)
Glad you got there safely.

BTW I got sick last night..
I almost threw up but I restrained myself.. praying in bed for atleast an hour or two... trying to not think about how bad i wanted 2.

I took one of the tummy trouble pills from www.beeyoutiful.com and it helps every time!

I eventually fell asleep and was fine.. but maybe I have whatever Christopher has? Our kids havent thrown up yet... heres praying it was just something I ate.

Chuckle, chuckle, LOL The beauty of motherhood or parenthood for that matter, is that it does make us thankful for the "little" things. Anything that makes our job cheaper and easier. Have a Great Thanksgiving and "I hope you feel better Christopher!"

Love this post. Aaaggghhh, my kids are sick too. 3 of the 4 have ear infections. Andrew had hives, Ethan and Andrew have red bumps all over their face. (some bacterial infection) Oh and Andrew had the stomach thing. Weird, huh?
