I am grateful

1) I have two working arms bc it is really hard when I have to do things with only one while the other is busy with Peter

2) I am grateful for my local friend

3) that despite being up from 1:30-4:00 this morning I have had a lot of good energy today.

4) that Matthew will get paid again before rent is due and it will be just enough to cover the check

5) the area we may move to has a really good band program even though it may not start until seventh grade

6) for the internet that makes being dairy free not too hard, plus I've lost six pounds in the almost two weeks I've been off it

I am so thankful

1) I feel better than I did yesterday. I spent the morning fighting nausea and by mid-day had aches and chills. Spent the afternoon in bed. This morning I had a little bit of nausea and a stomach-ache this evening but overall feel pretty good and energetic.

2) I had the energy to clean the bathroom and kitchen today. The bathroom REALLY needed it.

3) that a neighbor called this morning asking me to take her grandsons to school. It is the quickest Jared has moved to get ready in a long time. The were actually at school before the bell rang!

I am thankful today that

1) the skirt I acquisitioned from mom when I was a youth from when she was younger could be buttoned again.

2) when I started to sing the song I have been teaching in primary both boys joined in and knew the words.

3) Peter slept through primary and is now entertaining himself nicely in his bed while I write this. Last night he even fell back asleep when I laid him down without needing to be nursed again for awhile. In fact, he looked up at me, smiled, hammered jabbered something then placed his head on my arm and went to sleep!
