God Moment

I had a God Moment today. I think I will start calling them that. I know that someone great must be looking out for me.

Last week after some discussion with Kevin we decided to pull up the boot straps and cut out the not needed spending. Things are tough. We are really trying to weed out the wants to afford the needs. One of the things I thought to cut was Thomas' parent-tot class. It made me sad, but we have been attending a free library thing at the Clawson library and I thought maybe I could find something similar in RO. I called the principal and left a msg. I told her I knew I was obligated through the rest of this semester but that money was really tight and I didn't think we could continue next semester. I also said I knew there was a waiting list for the class so I wanted to give her advance notice.

Today she called me into the office. I have never been called to the principals office. YIKES! hehe. I was a little nervous. It's one thing to tell her on a msg about my troubles it's another to discuss them in person. It could not have gone better. She said Thomas is such a role model that they want to keep him. She said pay what I can and if I can't, I can't. She also said I have been such a great parent helper over the years that she really was happy to help out. I could have cried right then. I in fact did once I got home. I thanked her tremendously and told her what a great relief it was.

My smart boy, and these great friends! I am so grateful and lucky.

Worry Wort

I have many worries that sometimes keep me awake at night. But I am trying to stay focused on the great, wonderful, cozy, happy things in my life. In the spirit of keeping up-beat here are a few more things to be grateful for:

1. Sunny warm days in October

2. Story Time at the library with T

3. Looking forward to Halloween with the kids (Hermione, A Good Witch, Spider)

4. Nap time ;)

5. A good book

6. T staying dry all night (when I forgot a diaper)!

Today

Today I am thankful for good friends and good times. I am grateful that I get to watch 2 wonderful ladies blossom into motherhood. I am also grateful that today is Friday and that means 2 Family days ahead. I love family days.

Summer's Over

Summer is over. I have lost my train of thought to talk about our wonderful trip. The weather has been so cold and gloomy. I feel like my mood is the same. We tell Hannah all the time that your attitude makes your day. I just can't seem to pick mine up. So I am starting a gratitude list to try and change... something.


I am grateful for:

1. my loving husband who makes my day full of laughter
2. my kids whose giggles sound like sunbeams (if they made a sound)
3. my home....when those around are loosing theirs I am grateful to have mine small and full of love.

Just the begining of my list.
